...thing to put the best shoe forward in order to gain an A+ mark. But the aggressiveness nature of the decisions made by Peter Haskins, president of the AMT, had, to the conclusion of some lenders, contributed to several tribulations that impede the continuous growth of the company. Though AMT had gained extraordinary growth through their well done researches, it tends to risk its financial aspect by exhausting too much fund just to develop and produce its product. Its mismanagement of its assets had made potential creditors to deny its loan requests. These facts had led to the perfection of this study. It aimed to analyze the problems faced by the company, the cause of these problems and how the company will trounce these problems. II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Advance Medical Technology Corporation (AMT) developed, manufactured and sold scientific medical instruments, needles, and catheters that allowed rapid and less invasive access to a number of different organs and vessels.

...companies etc) wish to invest funds, while deficit units need to borrow them and as there exist enormous amount of heterogeneity between these agents, there appears a need in financial system. Surplus units usually want to make a short terms investment, also they need a compensation for risk and prefer to have an ability to access funds (high liquidity), however deficit units wish to borrow for long term and do not wish to pay too high percents for the loan. For these reasons financial intermediaries appeared in the world. They take short term investments from surplus agents and give long term loans to deficit agents. Due to the law of large numbers they are able to do so and to hold not much liquidity. However there is always an ability of financial crisis and bank run, because of such functions of financial system. 2) There are 5 types of product innovations : Market broading innovations – these work to increase the liquidity of markets by attracting new investors and providing new opportunities for borrowers. Risk-managment innovations – these have the effect of redistributing financial risk exposure from agents that are risk-averse to agents that are willing to undertake the risk. Arbitraging innovations – in these agents exploit arbitrage opportunities either within or between different markets, often to take advantage of loopholes in the regulatory of tax framework. Pricing innovations – these seek to reduce the cost of achieving a specific...

...HP and Autonomy: A Strategic Misfire Rob Hemsath Strayer University Contemporary Business BS508 Dr. Antoinette Bridges May 19, 2014 Abstract Hewlett Packard’s 2011 Acquisition of Autonomy Corporation proved to be disastrous for the company’s financial status and reputation. While many have cited it as a poor decision, it was poor execution and HP’s internal conflicts that created a situation that resulted in HP writing of $8.8 Billion dollars of Autonomy’s value. HP’s relationships with its employees, shareholders, and partners have been damaged. The acquisition, therefore, has proven an example of poor execution. If the purpose of a merger or acquisition is to increase the economic value of the resulting consolidated corporate enterprise, the 2011 acquisition of British software company Autonomy Corporation by Hewlett Packard failed on several levels. HP’s corporate culture was such that even the decision for the purchase was fraught with internal conflict and began on an inauspicious note. When Autonomy was folded into HP, HP’s management structure did not fully integrate the new asset into the corporate line, quickly losing any industry advantage the acquisition would have brought. In the end, HP wrote down $8.8 Billion of the value of Autonomy and is struggling to reassert it’s once dominate position in the industry. The acquisition of Autonomy, therefore, was poorly executed and caused severe damage for the future of HP. HP had seen several years of internal...

...from channelling efficiently between savers and households as well as preventing firms from having productive investment opportunities (Mishkin and Eakins, 2012, pp. 204). The recent global financial crisis began in the year of 2007 and the intensity increased in the subsequent year. Global financial crisis in 2007 happened as result of a number of factors such as government mandated subprime lending, imprudent mortgage lending, housing bubble, securitization and a few other more factors, which will be discussed. Causes The government mandated subprime lending has contributed to the financial crisis by promoting affordable housing under Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) as well as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Through affordable housing, banks were encouraged to participate in imprudent mortgage lending as mandated by the federal in order to help low-income borrowers, which imprudent mortgage lending is another cause that contributed to the global financial crisis (Jickling, 2009). As a result of mortgage lending, low-income families are able to purchase houses that they are not be able to afford to purchase without the policy. The loans require low or no down payments and limited documentation of income are to be produced (Wallison and Pinto, 2009). Due to limited documentation presenting to get loan, asymmetric information existed as the financial institutions providing loans were lack of information about the borrowers. Housing prices are able to rise to unsustainable levels...

...1.1 Introduction The underlying principle of enterprise risk management is that every entity exists to provide value for its stakeholders. All entities face uncertainty, and the challenge for management is to determine how much uncertainty to accept as it strives to grow stakeholder value. Uncertainty presents both risk and opportunity, with the potential to erode or enhance value. Enterprise risk management enables management to effectively deal with uncertainty and associated risk and opportunity, enhancing the capacity to build value. This paper seeks to explain the ERM process, its history, approach and practice. 1.2 Summary of Enterprise Risk Management principle The ERM approach differs from the traditional risk management approach as the focus is placed on an enterprise-wide strategy. Meilbroek (2002) argues that in order to achieve integrated risk management, a company must review and assess all the risks that could potentially affect its value. This core principle of ERM ensures that senior managers' focus is engaged on the uncertainties around the company's entire asset portfolio. A second fundamental concept of ERM relates to the people that carry out and manage the process. Although ERM is the ultimate responsibility of the board of directors with the support of senior management, (i.e. a top-down process) it must be noted that in order for the approach to be enterprise-wide, every employee from every level of the organisation must support the framework. Without...

...Comm101 Principles of Responsible Commerce Topic: The Historical Development of Modern Business Enterprises Objectives for this lecture • Consider a brief historical account of the development of modern national and multinational business organisations. • Consider, in particular, the benefits and costs of two major characteristics of such organisations: increased size and separation of ownership and control. • Discuss some of the processes by which firms have tried to reduce the incidence of opportunistic behaviour by management. • Briefly consider a recent Australian example of a significant business management failure. 2 Why is knowledge of historical developments important? • Understanding historical developments helps us to: • Apply lessons from the past: are there commonalities between past and the present? • Understand the importance of path dependency, i.e. that some past decisions have had long term ramifications (e.g. convict settlement of Australia), and so current period decisions may also affect future generations (e.g. CO2 emissions). • Appreciate the inevitability of continual economic and social evolution, but understanding that we have some influence on how and when such changes should occur. • So a sound understanding of history brings empowerment to 3 the debate about current business practices. 1 Important historical developments • Pre about 1850, in industrialising UK, the typical business firm was: • Small scale, mostly catering to local demand...

...Japan: Overview of Economics | Angie Kovachik | BU-501 Economics | | Introduction Japan has had its struggles in the past and even more recent years with economics. Many factors and issues that Japan faces have come into play, therefore affecting their economy. Over the past 70 some years, Japan has however developed into an advanced and rich economy. Japan has a mixed economy that is made up of both private ownership and governmental intervention, including the MITI’s guide of national resources to meet commercial pursuits and the use of keiretsus provide goods and services to end users (Luthans & Doh, 2015). The keiretsu uses a close interlocking structure between manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors. Another characteristic that has helped Japan since the post-World War II era is the guarantee of lifetime employment for a large part of the urban labor force. However, more recently we have seen Japan’s economy slow in growth and corrode because of global factors and the demographic crisis they are experiencing (CIA, 2016). The economy has tumbled into a recession four times since 2008, but did rebound because of government stimulus. The massive earthquake and tsunami that devastated the country in 2011 was hard hitting to Japan in many ways and rippled through the economy that year and the following year. The country saw an upward growth in 2013 due to the Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe’s, “Three Arrows” economic reform. The Three Arrows included monetary...

...Outsourcing – A Global Challenge MBA-700 International Economics Abstract The choice to outsource is a major strategic decision not made lightly by companies in today’s global marketplace. Though it brings probable results of cost reduction, loss of control in your product or the quality of service rendered makes this a decision that should not be taken lightly. Though a concept decades old, outsourcing is a topic that brings out fervor in individuals fighting for or against it. It’s a debate centered on moral, economical, and political aspects, with feelings that intensify during economic downturns because of the This paper will discuss theories of outsourcing, while comparing and contrasting the disadvantages and advantages (SWOT Analysis – see Appendix 1) of a concept that is growing in global business. The paper will conclude, most importantly, with discussions on three outsourcing alternatives and their potential to re-invent the status quo. Introduction The advent of globalization has proven that outsourcing is not a hypothetical situation; it is a major strategic business decision growing in popularity that our American workforce must now face in the decline of our U.S. economy. Some believe that outsourcing has become a serious issue not only for our workforce, but also in our major corporations, and the political arena. Issues such as the security of our nation have become debate topics, with critics arguing that outsourcing has weakened national security...
