...June 2007 Mall Management – A Growing Phenomenon in Indian Retail Industry ExEcutivE Summary • The Indian retail market is expected to continue its growth trajectory into 2010. • Mall management has been identified as a critical factor for the success of malls and the retail industry across the world. • Mall management broadly includes mall positioning, zoning, tenant mix, promotions/ marketing and facility/finance management. • Currently, the Indian retail market lacks designated mall management firms. Large real estate developers and retail chains either have their own mall management arms operating as subsidiaries or have contractual agreements with international property consultants. • Till recently, mall management was limited to facility management by a majority of developers in India, leading to gaps in mall management practices. • Given the high future supply of malls and increasing competitiveness within the Indian retail market, developers must correctly address these gaps to ensure success. Mall Management – A Growing Phenomenon in Indian Retail Industry introduction Organised retailing in India witnessed a gross turnover of USD 320 billion1 in 2006. Although this figure is low compared with other developed economies, industry experts expect the growth rate of this sector at 35%2 until 2010. At present, about 100 malls are operational at a Pan-India level with a total area of 19 million sq ft. As per the current estimates, about 3003 additional malls...

...Basic Concepts Paper Charles Lloyd Eco/415 October 19, 2012 George Flemming Basic Concepts Paper Circumstances, which are different, can have a major affect on supply and demand. The simulation in this week’s assignment deals with the curves of supply and demand and how they are affected by the changing of situations that happens in the city of Atlantis with the two-bedroom apartments. Changes were supposed to be made depending on the findings and results made within the Atlantis community. The shifts in supply and demand will have an effect on the Goodlife decisions. This simulation has four emphasized key points they are price ceilings, supply and demand, shifts in supply and demand, and equilibrium. This paper will summarize briefly found concepts of each scenario; whereas, it will explain the supply and demand changes and how the changes affect decisions that relate the supply and demand concepts to the testing service department of Aflac’s Software Company. When Goodlife first started the business wanted to see what, he or she would have to charge for the monthly rental of an apartment to receive maximum revenue for the 2,000 available apartments. The results showed that an apartment monthly rent of $900 would have to be charged for the maximum revenue to reach $1.80 million dollars. Although this rate is better than the $1300 that was original asked; whereas, $2,000 apartments were in demand and rented leaving no surplus. This simulation shows that when a lower...

...GDavis 3/22/18 American government Research paper#3 Smokings continue to lead our nation in death; in fact, it kills and robs many people of their health and quality of their lives. All over the word, we see signs and warning labels used to prevent smoking and protect none-smokers from the dangers of second-hand smoke. Our government continues to look for ways to ban smoking and save lives, therefore we will continue to trust our legislative, judicial, and executive branch to create, enforce and evaluate new laws daily. For starters, we will begin with the legislative. This branch has the important role of creating and implanting new laws. This is done through Congress, the Senate and the House of Representatives. This branch also views...

...Research Method (Sarah) Introduction The research method is outlined by an alternative study of the plan. This study will look at three main aspects: the technical specifications of the subject matter, the personal account, and the literary interpretation. The architectural plan is traditionally represented without the human figure, or as Robin Evans has pointed out, drawn as “amoebic” figures. Architectural drawings are often studied with a technical slant, although architecture has long been considered as “social artifact”1 . Thus literature, accompanied by photographic illustrations, is emergent as a device to test architectural apparatus, particularly in the domestic realm where aspects of dwelling and occupancy are not as closely recorded in formal documents as its physical history (e.g. building completion, demolition). This enables us to investigate the relationship between the building plan and its occupants, to understand the architecture as a dwelling. Technical specifications The Pearl Bank Apartments, built in 1972, was built to offer a transcendent mode of living that differentiated the uppermiddle class. More than its unprecedented stature that boasted an elite model of highdensity living, an interior component was specifically marketed as a key selling point — the living room. In the original Pearl Bank Apartments sales brochure, the text and images boast a large and brightlylit living room attached to a doublevolume ...

...Final Paper on Donald Sterling Ethics MGT511X 6/8/14 Caitlin Filteau Case Background Donald Sterling came into the ethical spotlight in April 2014, with a voice recording of him talking to his then mistress, “It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?” “You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that … and not to bring them to my games.”Don’t put him [Johnson] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don’t bring him to my games.”(nba.com) Since then Mr. Sterling has been banned from the league for life and he was fined $2.5 million dollars. He has no authority over the Clippers and can’t attend any NBA game. NBA commissioner Adam Silver also stated that he would move to force Sterling to sell the Clippers. He stated he would do this based on “willful violation of the rules”, and it would require the consent of three-quarters of the other NBA owners. (Wikipedia.org) On May 26th Sterling made a statement denying all of the charges against him and he refused to sell the Clippers. Donald Sterling’s wife, Shelly, reached a deal to sell the Clippers to Steve Ballmer for $2 Billion dollars on May 29th. Shelly Sterling agreed not to sue the NBA and to assure the league against other suits possibly brought on by her husband. The next day her husband sued the NBA for $1 billion dollars stating...

...8/6/2014 Print Property: Personal, Intellectual, and Real Learning Objectives 11 After studying this chapter, you will be able to: 1. Distinguish between personal, intellectual, and real property. 2. Explain how personal property is acquired. 3. Discuss the definition and significance of bailments. 4. Define different types of tenancies in real property. 5. Discuss the concept of eminent domain. Ryan McVay/Photodisc/Thinkstock The concept of property and ownership is one that has long been important in both society in general and law in particular. English philosopher and political theorist John Locke saw it as "the reason why men enter into society," and Walter Lippmann, the American journalist, described it as "the only dependable foundation of personal liberty." Some have gone so far as to say that the main reason for law is to protect property rights. Even if one does not subscribe to such a narrow purpose, there is no doubt that the law is much concerned with property and rights of ownership. Property can be defined as the right of an individual to exclusively possess, use, and dispose of anything that is capable of being owned. Broadly speaking, property can be divided into three separate types: personal property, intellectual property, and real property. Personal property is characterized by its portable nature; it can be carried from place to place. Furthermore, personal property can be either tangible or intangible. Tangible personal property encompasses...

...To what extent can housing led regeneration schemes tackle social exclusion? Written by: Rosalie Burke – University of Westminster MA Housing Policy and Practice (April 2012) In order for housing led regeneration schemes to tackle social exclusions, the regeneration organisers and the residents of the area will have to play their parts. This paper will be looking at how regeneration schemes can tackle social exclusion by creating mixed tenures, and what roles residents can play in sustaining mix tenures in order to tackle social exclusion. This paper will also look at if social exclusion can be kept out of housing regeneration schemes in this bad economical climate which has seen many job losses and the changes in which the Localism Act has introduced. Regeneration programmes, are normally conducted in areas which are deemed to be poor and is usually based around improving the quality of housing and tackling social exclusion. Regeneration can be funded by the public sector and a mixture of private and public sources (Muir, 2008). Regeneration schemes can bring in investors to the area which in turn can create employment opportunities and from employment, this would lead to money being spent in the area, people would want to raise a family, work and continue to live for a very long time. Regenerating an area does not always mean knocking down the whole community and starting again, it can be that some of the properties are knocked down because...

...Buying Versus Renting Ashley Mawhorter 1/11/2011 Axia College of University of Phoenix Every American has dreamed of owning their own dream home, whether they are young or old. Still many Americans choose to rent apartments. Why is this? There are many more pros when individuals decide to buy a home. That is why buying a home is a better option than renting an apartment. Jumping right into the first home one sees is also not the proper way to buy a home. Much time and research needs to be done and many things taken into consideration before deciding the best decision. Do I want to have a landlord, or be the landlord? How much can I afford if I choose to buy a home? Where do I want to be located and what style home am I looking for? Are there any pros and cons to buying verse renting? How much would property taxes be yearly? These are all important questions to take into consideration, and that will be covered in paragraphs to come. First and most important is figuring out how much each individual can afford. On ginniemae.gov there are two calculators that can help to determine individual financial status. The first calculator helps individuals to determine the advantages and considerations of owning verse renting a home (http://www.ginniemae.gov). Using the calculator I have come up with an example. If I were renting a home that cost 800 dollars a month and I wanted to buy a house I found for 100,000 I would simply calculate the percentage of down payment, length of...

...that it will end all the acrimony and misgivings of the contending parties as well as uniting the nation behind the effort to make agrarian reform a success. The enactment of the law twenty years ago was the apparent embodiment of the then just ratified 1987 Philippine Constitution which declared as a policy of the State the promotion of a comprehensive rural development and agrarian reform. In addition, the fundamental law mandates the State to promote industrialization and full employment based on sound agricultural development and agrarian reform. These Charter provisions and the passing of the law set forth the claim that agrarian reform in the Philippines is inimitable considering the challenges of redistributive reform to be carried out under a democratic milieu. The ratification of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL) also came about from the heels of the infamous Mendiola Massacre on January 22, 1987, when state security forces violently dispersed a protest march on Malacañang by farmers demanding genuine agrarian reform. Anti-riot forces opened fire on the peasant marchers led by the militant Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP), supposedly killing...

...Rodriguez de Figueroa or "Don Esteban", a group of Augustinian Fathers gained the ownership of the Tunasán Estate. Later on, San Pedro became an hacienda of Colegio de San José, a group of Jesuits friars who took over the property which now is known as "San Pedro Tunasán". "Tunasán" literally means "a place where there is Tunás" (Opuntia tuna), a medicinal plant abundant on shoreline area. During that period, agriculture, fishing, duck raising, fruit trees, sampaguita were the main source of income of its residents. This period was highlighted by the growing tenant/landlord dispute. The tenants of Hacienda San Pedro Tunasán fought for their birthrights over their ancestral lands. This struggle took almost 423 years of unsuccessful resistance to Colegio de San José, and in 1938, the government bought the homesites of the San Pedro Tunasán Hacienda from the Colegio for re-sale to its tenants. This event laid to rest the tenants/landlord problem in the town. From the Spanish time until after the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, the scenario did change a bit, when on August 30, 1954 beginning to the Philippine Commonwealth forces against the Japanese, President Ramón Magsaysay signed at the historic town plaza the Land Tenancy Act. By virtue of this law, farm...
