...TO: South African Breweries Ltd. Board Members FROM: BiMPSY Business Solutions DATE: August 21, 2011 RE: Assessment of Norman Adami’s Leadership at Miller Brewing _____________________________________________________________________________ Dear Board Members, The BiMPSY Business Solution group, the board of directors for Miller Brewing Company, has recently seen a major cultural change under the leadership of Norman Adami. The following report is an assessment of his leadership at Miller and how that change has affected our company. Adami’s aggressive tactics have rattled our main competitor Anhesuer-Busch (AB). By 2005, AB’s operating income had decreased by 22% with a corresponding loss of 1.8% in sales volume. Miller was also able to gain $10 billion to $12 billion market capitalization from AB.4 Adami has instilled the belief in his employees that the United States’ second largest brewer, Miller Brewing Company, can capture enough market share from its main competitor, Anhesuer-Busch, and possibly overtake it as the number one brewer in North America. We look forward to your questions and comments at the upcoming global board meeting. Best Regards, BiMPSY gives permission for this assignment to be viewed by other students in the MBA cohort. Norman Adami not only changed the climate at Miller Brewing, but in 2003 when he became the President and CEO, he did something even more radical – he “fundamentally changed the direction of the company”5 by changing its...

...THE SUBPRIME CREDIT CRISIS AND CONTAGION IN FINANCIAL MARKETS Francis A. Longstaff∗ Abstract. We conduct an empirical investigation into the pricing of subprime assetbacked CDOs and the resulting contagion effects on other markets. Using data for the ABX indexes of subprime CDO prices, we find strong evidence of contagion effects. In particular, we find that contagion effects spread first from lower-rated ABX indexes to higher-rated ABX indexes, and then from the subprime markets to the Treasury bond and stock markets. ABX index returns forecast stock and Treasury bond returns as much as three weeks ahead during the crisis. Furthermore, ABX index shocks are significantly related to contractions in the size of the short-term credit markets and increases in the trading activity of financial stocks over the next several weeks. These results provide support for the hypothesis that financial contagion was spread through liquidity and risk-premium channels. Current version: August 2008. UCLA Anderson School and NBER. I am very grateful for helpful discussions with Joshua Anderson, Vineer Bhansali, Bruce Carlin, Richard Clarida, Rajna Gibson, Rob- ert Gingrich, Hanno Lustig, Alfred Murata, Steve Schulist, and Jiang Wang, and for the comments of seminar participants at New York University, Pimco, and UCLA.

...SIZE JIM STOPPANI’S 12-WEEK SIZE SHORTCUT WWW.BODYBUILDING.COM/SHORTCUT SHORTCUT TO SIZE The 12-week program I am about to take you through is based on one of the oldest, tried and true methods for gaining strength and muscle. This type of training has successfully prepared almost every type of athlete imaginable, from Olympic weightlifters to soccer players. It works so well that it has been used continually for decades. I know that I am best known for my unique exercises and novel training programs, but sometimes you have to rely on the basics. That’s especially true when a basic program works as well a this one. Of course, I have taken the basic, but very effective program and tweaked it to perfect its effectiveness and to maximize the results you get. These results include greater strength, bigger muscles, and less body fat. PERIODIZATION WORKS... PERIOD! This program is based on the training concept called periodization. Periodization is the method of changing up your training at specified time points. The very first periodized scheme to be used with weights is called Linear Periodization (also known as Classc Periodization). That simply means that you start with light weight and high reps and as the program progresses the weights used get heavier and heavier and the reps completed per set get fewer and fewer. Most periodized programs take many months to complete. Many last anywhere from 4 to 12 months to complete the cycle. But...

...INTRODUCTION This paper focuses on 3 current trends occurring in the Australian labour market, analysing their causes and effects. The chosen trends are structural unemployment, gender pay gap and skill shortage. The main causes of the first trend are increase demand for services and technological change, which have led us into a new era where highly skilled labour force is needed to operate more complex machineries and computer systems. The rapid technological change has caused structural unemployment, with workers willing to work but cannot because of their lack of required skills. The second trend, gender pay gap, illustrates how wide the pay gap between males and females is until today. The main causes of this current direction are the persisting stereotype of the male brad-winner, the feminisation of some particular industry and more importantly non-union collective agreement. The results of this general direction limit the potentials of the Australian national income and create a culture of discrimination. The third and last trend, skill shortage, is generated by cut in investment in skill development, difficulties in retaining the employees and variation of demand for labour. These phenomenons foster inefficiency and impossibility to produce at full employment of resources. TREND 1: STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT One of the major trends that can be noticed in the Australian labour market is the steady presence of structural unemployment. Most of the definitions...

...Social Indicators Research (2005) 73: 43–70 DOI 10.1007/s11205-004-4642-9 Ó Springer 2005 ROBERT E. GOODIN, JAMES MAHMUD RICE, MICHAEL BITTMAN and PETER SAUNDERS1 THE TIME-PRESSURE ILLUSION: DISCRETIONARY TIME VS. FREE TIME (Accepted 6 October 2004) ABSTRACT. People’s welfare is a function of both time and money. People can – and, it is said, increasingly do – suffer time-poverty as well as money-poverty. It is undeniably true that people feel increasingly time pressured, particularly in dualearner households. But much of the time devoted to paid and unpaid tasks is over and above that which is strictly necessary. In that sense, much of the time pressure that people feel is discretionary and of their own making. Using data from the 1992 Australian Time Use Survey, this paper demonstrates that the magnitude of this ‘time-pressure illusion’ varies across population groups, being least among lone parents and greatest among the childless and two-earner couples. KEY WORDS: discretionary time, free time, leisure, time pressure, time use INTRODUCTION Being ‘money poor’ is a familiar phenomenon, a simple matter of not having enough money to meet one’s needs in any of the many ways those might be specified. Being ‘time poor’, by analogy, is a matter of not having enough time to do all the things one has to do (Vickery, 1977). It is said to be an increasingly common phenomenon in modern societies. There is some controversy over whether time in paid labour is actually increasing or not...
