...I spy The story is about a twelve year old boy, Charlie Stowe who wants to smoke a cigarette because some boys at school tease him with never having smoked a cigarette. His father owns a tobacconist store underneath the house. In that store, there is cigarettes. He sneaks into the shop to steal some cigarettes, but he hides because his father and some men are at the shop. The father offers the men cigarettes but they do not want them, because they are on duty. As the father and the men go out Charlie sneaks into his room and falls asleep. The story is properly very old and it take place in England and more precisely in an irregular house close to the sea. I can see that because Woodbine and Gold Flake are very old cigarette packs, which was very popular in England back then. Moreover, I can see that the story takes place close to the sea because he mentions the wind blew from the sea (page 1 line 4). I cannot exactly come up with a date, but it could be in the First or Second World War. I can see that when the main character uses words as “Huns” and “Zeppelins.” Huns was an old word for a German soldier and it was mostly used as slang. Zeppelins was a German airship. I think Charlie and his family live in a rich environment. I can see that because his father has a store. They have a house and Charlie goes in a county school. Charlie is twelve years old. He has a father and mother. He goes in a county School where some schoolmates tease him because he never has smoked a...

...Consumer Behavior Paper and Questionnaire Constance Ordish MKT/554 May 7, 2012 Ruby A Rouse, PhD Consumer Behavior Paper and Questionnaire Most of the negative publicity found on the Internet about flavored cigarettes centers on the marketing of the cigarettes and not the product itself. Among smokers between ages 18 to 25 the cigarettes are met with warm welcome. Smokers welcome the change from normal cigarettes and like more flavor options to choose from. The previous methods of marketing flavored cigarettes are under fire. It is commonly believed that the tobacco companies are targeting children and teenagers to hook these customers at a tender age to create lifelong consumers. “Collier County Health Department says it’s a shameless ploy that’s gaining steam. “They know that children are attracted to sweet products, and if they get them hooked on the sweet products then they have a lifetime user,” Rachel Kleist of the Collier County Health Department….According to a 2010 statewide survey, the candy-flavored tobacco trend is catching on. 17.6% of Collier County youth between the ages of 11 and 17 have tried it and 19.9% in Lee County.” ("Cigarette Flavours", 2012). To counter the previous reputation of flavored cigarette marketing to children, Exotic Smokes will make every effort to develop a marketing campaign directed to smokers within its targeted consumer group and not any younger than 18. The ads will be presented only in magazines generally read by the target...

...DQ-VI: SPECIAL ASSISTANT: Who Should I Select? Six months ago, you were hired as a Special Assistant to the President of First Local Bank. First Local Bank is a privately held Bank, and its President, Charles Buck, was an initial investor who currently owns a 21% share of First Local Bank. The Bank initially succeeded and grew based on its retail banking services (Checking, Savings, Small secured and unsecured consumer loans, etc.) to individuals and small local businesses. As the bank grew over the past decade, it began to expand, first on a regional basis, and most recently into larger Commercial Banking in which they made loans to medium size businesses. The commercial banking business loaned sizable amounts of money to businesses in a three state region (average loan size projected to be in excess of $7,500,000). Loans of this size were secured with assets of each business, and therefore, First Local Bank would be required to evaluate the Effectiveness of each business that applied for a loan, determine the value of the borrower’s assets to be used as collateral, etc. before they loaned money to these commercial borrowers. Initially, Mr. Buck managed this new commercial lending operation himself, but having gotten it started successfully, he now wanted to hire a new Vice President of Commercial Banking, and two Assistant Vice Presidents for the Commercial Lending Division of First Local Bank. Mr. Buck was so impressed with your work in your first six months as his...

...inesquecíveis, coisas inexplicáveis e pessoas incomparáveis" como vocês! Obrigado por tudo, Filipe Abstract The Retail Banking Industry has been severely affected by fraud over the past few years. Indeed, despite all the research and systems available, fraudsters have been able to outsmart and deceive the banks and their customers. With this in mind, we intend to introduce a novel and multi-purpose technology known as Stream Computing, as the basis for a Fraud Detection solution. Indeed, we believe that this architecture will stimulate research, and more importantly organizations, to invest in Analytics and Statistical Fraud-Scoring to be used in conjunction with the already in-place preventive techniques. Therefore, in this research we explore different strategies to build a Streambased Fraud Detection solution, using advanced Data Mining Algorithms and Statistical Analysis, and show how they lead to increased accuracy in the detection of fraud by at least 78% in our reference dataset. We also discuss how a combination of these strategies can be embedded in a Stream-based application to detect fraud in real-time. From this perspective, our experiments lead to an average processing time of 111,702ms per transaction, while strategies to further improve the performance are discussed.

...RESEARCH PAPER NO. 1488 Strategy, Organization, And Incentives: Global Corporate Banking At Citibank David P. Baron David Besanko April 1998 RESEARCH PAPER SERIES GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS STANFORD UNIVERSITY Research Paper No. 1488 STRATEGY, ORGANIZATION, AND INCENTIVES: GLOBAL CORPORATE BANKING AT CITIBANK David P. Baron and David Besanko Stanford University and Northwestern University April 1998 Abstract This paper addresses the interplay of strategy, organization, and incentives in a global company. The basic framework takes one step further Chandler’s perspective that structure follows strategy by incorporating incentives chosen in response to both strategy and organization. The analysis of these three components of corporate policy is guided by a model of organization developed in earlier papers (1996, 1997). The perspective is that strategy is based on matching opportunities and capabilities. Capabilities reside in an organization’s shared know-how, and organization structure serves to mobilize a firm’s capabilities in pursuit of opportunities. How organization structure mobilizes capabilities depends on the complementarities among its activities and the pattern of spillovers that underlie its capabilities. When the activities include both complements and substitutes, and when the pattern of spillovers is complex, a mUlti-dimensional organization is required to manage the interrelationships. In multi-dimensional organizations the incentive...
