...Professional Presence Daniel Charlong Professional Presence CS204 September 16th, 2014 After doing my research, I came across a company called Rosemont who merged with Emerson Company back in 1976. It has locations all across the globe and is in almost every county that that we have. The culture here is the most mixed that I have ever seen or even heard of. Every race from African American, Chinese, Caucasian, Japanese, Somali and quite a bit more across the board. Rosemount Engineering Company was founded in 1956 as a supplier of precision products for the aerospace industry. The company quickly grew with the success and expansion of the U.S. space program and continued to apply the same rigid standards that aided NASA’s success to the development of breakthrough products for the process industries. After reading about it, I tried to picture what it would look like to work there and I stepped outside of myself and looked into the roof of the building and saw what looked like an ant farm. Hundreds of people that have a hard time understanding each other's words, but work together marvelously. Their commitment to the culture is reflected in a dedication to their work environment and company values. As for culture, they strive to provide every employee with the kind of work environment that will allow them to thrive and be very successful. The way that they do this is using mutual respect...

It will identify if Social Change has impinged on the policies, procedures and framework of this project and will endeavour to explore if the project meets the current needs of the local community. “Community development work supports people to work collectively for social change which will improve the quality of their lives and the communities in which they live.” Framework Information Hand-out (1999). Family Resource Centres were established by The Family Support Agency in 2003, under the auspices of The Department of Children and Youth Affairs as Community Development projects, to address the needs of marginalised individuals residing in disadvantaged areas. Like most community development projects, Rosemount Family Resource Centre was established as a direct result of a community coming together to address issues such as poor housing in three Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Local Authority blocks of flats. In general residents accepted occupancy of these flats on the understanding that it would be short term, but found out to their detriment that it was far from a stopgap. For many of the residents it took over ten years to be rehoused, some took as long as sixteen years. This complex was situated in the heart of Dundrum in what was seen to be an affluent area, yet the housing conditions of this complex were abysmal, clearly shown in the survey carried out. “The overall health of residents is being seriously compromised due to the inadequate Dickens...

They have a step program that includes things like a plan for a plant emergency and they mostly importantly focus on prevention. They take prevention very seriously in preventing anything that may go wrong and cause an injury or environmental concern. They have qualified employees who jobs it is to go around daily and check, clean and maintain machines for the plant workers to ensure things won’t happen.

...Corporate Capers Unless you’re an avid reader of the Financial Review the changes in the Australian wine industry might have passed you by. In recent years Australian wine companies have spread their wings and come of age on the world stage. Companies have expanded and increased their brand portfolio, as well as aligning themselves with other international companies. Takeovers have been rife; in fact with foreign ownership on the increase, it might well be high time for Dick Smith to start bottling Chardonnay! The big four wine companies in Australia are: Southcorp, Beringer Blass, BRL Hardy and Orlando Wyndham. Each company has grown in the past five years on the back of the continued success of Australian wine in the major overseas markets of the United Kingdom and the United State of America. The major four now produce over 70% of Australia’s wine, even though there are a staggering 1424 wineries to be found on our shores. For foreign ownership look no further than the company who sells Australia’s iconic ‘Top Drop’ - Jacob’s Creek, Orlando Wyndham is owned by the French Pernod-Ricard Group. The newest player in the industry, Lion Nathan, remains local but only by the skin of it’s teeth with 46% of the company being owned by the Japanese brewing company Kirin and the majority shareholder in the small Wingara Group which owns Katnook Estate, Deakin Estate and Riddoch labels, is the Spanish sparkling giant Freixenet. In Tasmania Pipers Brook Vineyards was taken over...

Nonetheless, this market presents opportunities to Canadian business. Canada and Australia share similar cultures and lifestyle, for example, sports and the outdoors. This translates into similar fashion tastes and trends. Facing increasing pressure from inexpensive imports, competitive department stores and decreasing prices, Australian retailers are looking for new ways to compete. Some have differentiated by specializing and offering only a particular type of product, such as sportswear. Others sell exclusive product that cannot be found elsewhere. Most have moved to the mid- to high-end of the market...

...International Business & Economics Research Journal Volume 2, Number 9 The Changing Structure Of The Global Wine Industry Michael A. Roberto (E-mail: mroberto@hbs.edu), Harvard Business School Abstract This paper examines the distinctive economic structures that exist in the wine industry in various regions of the world, and it identifies the critical forces driving changes in the structure of this industry. The paper accomplishes these objectives by applying concepts from industrial organization economics, agency theory, and the field of competitive strategy. T he economic structure of an industry affects the intensity of competition and the average profitability of firms in a particular market.1 While strategy scholars have debated the extent to which industry structure explains differences in firm profitability, virtually no one disputes the idea that structural forces have a sizeable impact.2 More recently, researchers have demonstrated that industries exhibit substantial structural differences across various geographic markets around the world. These structural differences are driven by institutional heterogeneity and contrasting patterns of historical development. 3 Over time, the structure of a global industry can change dramatically. In particular, many industries have experienced consolidation in recent years. Industry consolidation raises several important questions for scholars and practitioners. First, why do these structural shifts take place? Second...

...Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Corporate Governance Garrow A New Hypothesis on the Determinants of Acquisitions Nigel Garrow Introduction Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity is a significant factor in business in most advanced economies. According to Thomson Reuters, the value of M&A deals completed globally during the 12 months to November 2009 was US$1.8 trillion. However, the acquirers’ shareholders often lose value. Much of the literature on M&A is centred on the UK and US markets, with only a modest level of research within Australia This paper suggests a new proposition to explain why M&A activity may be value destroying for the acquirers: Success or failure for the acquiring firm’s shareholders in M&A is a function of the combined tenure, personal motivation, and recent performance of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the acquiring firm. This examination of the combined effectiveness of the Chairman and CEO is not something that appears to have been undertaken before. The paper will present the constituent hypotheses of the main proposition, followed by a literature review, a presentation of findings from a pilot study, conclusions and next steps. Four constituent hypotheses, each of which refers to the performance of the Chairman and CEO, arise out of the pilot study: Hypothesis 1. The length of time that the Chairman and CEO of the acquiring firm have been together in their respective positions at the time of the acquisition...

Also discussed are two key management issues that need to be taken into account before developing operations in Tunisia followed by recommendations on two strategies for entry into the Tunisian wine industry market. In terms of background to this report, it should be noted that the global market for wine industry is changing significantly with substantial differences in the structure of the wine industry around the world. For instance, there are 232,900 wine producers in France but the top 10 brands control only 4% of the market. In contrast, four firms control over 75% of the Australian wine market. Hence there is a marked difference in industry structure when comparing the “New World” producers (e.g. Australia, Chile, United States) to the “Old World” firms. These structural differences are driven by institutional...
