...well work in a lot of industries. One example of an industry that would benefit from this type of human resource management would be fast food industries. It allows people who may not have graduated in the top of their class and who may not have had the best GPA in school to still qualify to enter the company with a degree. They can show off their good work ethic and dedication by starting off at the bottom and working their way to the top. Having said that, job loyalty is greatly promoted in industries that perform in this way. 2. Does Enterprise face any risks from its HR strategy? b. Of course Enterprise faces risks from its HR strategy, as well as any other industry hiring brand new employees. There is always the struggle of teaching new employees the rules and strategies of the industry they are working for. They have to go through a training session to tell them what is expected of them and how they should go about doing their job. One good thing to note about Enterprise’s HR strategy is that they like to hire former athletes and former people who have been in a club of some sort so that they at least know they are hiring someone who has been dedicated to something at some point, and hopefully they can be just as dedicated to their job. 3. Would you want to work for Enterprise? Why or why not? c. Personally, I wouldn’t see myself working for Enterprise. Knowing I went to school and took the time to earn my degree, as well as spending money in the process...

...increasing the stork population would increase the birth rate? Explain why the other 2 are false. 1. The Mayor implied there was an association between the stork population and the birth rate that was not there. False. The mayor was clearly speculating, there is clearly an association between the stork population and the birth rate. 2. The Mayor mistakenly thought that 2 factors which are statistically associated (the stork population and the birth rate) must be causally related. True. There has to be alternate explanations for this association. The Industrial Revolution, could be causing both a decrease in storks and a decrease in the birth rate. 3. The Mayor neglected to look at the statistical significance of the association. Only if the results were statistically significant could he conclude that a causal relationship exists. False. Statistical significance does not indicate that an association is causal. Part B....

...Risk Management in the Asian Banking Sector “What is the best strategy for the implementation of Enterprise Risk Management in the banking sector of the highly expansive but volatile Asian economy?” I chose to do an in-depth study of this area of risk management because as I am Australian, it is extremely important for me to start to fully understand the workings of our closest economic partner and the future of our economy which is driven by the expansive growth that is rolling through Asia.

...Institutions & Risk Management in Subprime Crisis Vikrant Joshi The Role of Financial Institutions & Risk Management in The Subprime Crisis This paper discusses the role of financial institutions & their risk management strategies in the subprime mortgage crisis. The downturn in the housing and mortgage markets precipitated the first phase of the financial crisis in August 2007 when the solvency of a number of large financial firms was threatened by huge losses in complex structured financial securities. Why did these firms have such high concentrations in mortgage-related securities? Given the information available to firms at the time, these high concentrations in mortgage-related securities violated basic principles of modern risk management. Introduction: This paper analyzes the role of financial institutions in the light of risk management and corporate governance in the events leading to the subprime crisis. This paper explores the following question: Given the tremendous advances in financial risk measurement and management, why was the solvency of large and complex financial firms threatened by large losses in the mortgage market? First, the subprime mortgage market was about $1.3 trillion. Even a very high percentage loss in this market seemed manageable, given the overall size of U.S. and world debt markets. Commonly cited reasons such as high mortgage defaults in 2006 and 2007 do not provide a sufficient explanation for why this particular...

The total count for this company is 550 men and 450 women and 60% of the people are married. The physical condition of the people who work for Constructit shows that 32 % of the employees are involved in great physical activity, 25% is involved in a moderate physical activity, and the rest of the employees which is 43% are involved in sedentary activities.

...someone who isn’t pregnant and therefore unhealthy for the unborn baby a pregnant woman carries. Many women, despite knowing this well-known fact, have continued smoking during their pregnancy. They would rather feed their addiction than to keep their child healthy and it is immensely wrong. It is unbelievable how women are willing to risk the life of their unborn child just to inhale nicotine. There are so many reasons why smoking during pregnancy is wrong, birth defects, miscarriage and stillbirth, and the risk of the baby developing lung problems. With all of these side effects combined, it seems it would be an obvious conclusion for women to not smoke while pregnant. Smoking is a bad choice to make. Cigarettes are addictive and cause cancer. Smoking while pregnant is not just a bad choice for the mother to make, but also a bad choice for her baby. It is one thing for someone to risk their own heath, and another thing to risk the life of an unborn baby. “A woman who smokes while being pregnant is more than 50% more likely to expose her unborn child to an infection within the womb in comparison to a non-smoker, as the smoker’s Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) is 1.67 compared to the non-smoker.”( Mund, Louwen, Klingelhoefer, & Gerber, 2013). While it is a well-known fact that smoking during pregnancy is a bad idea, recent studies have shown just how bad it is for the baby. Smoking during pregnancy causes birth defects in the fetus. Many babies, born to mothers who did not...

...Diabetes Mellitus Quiz (Paper) Metformin is a good oral glycemic agent used for treatment of DM and new research from the US Diabetes Prevention Program ( DPP) shows that it can aid in delaying the onset of the disease when used in patients who are at high risk. Some of the high risk patients include those that are overweight or obese, have a family history, had gestational diabetes or are African American. The study uses 3 groups of people, a placebo group, a intensive lifestyle group and a metformin group. Appoximitely 3000 people have been used in this study and 85% of the original group study continued on in further studies. Approimitely 45% of the group were minorities ethnic backgrounds. Diabetis Mellitis (DM) is becoming more and more prevelant in our society. This article is about ways of helpng those at high risk of developing DM to reduce their risk of getting it or delay the onset. The main component of the article is the use of metformon to delay or reduce the risk of onset of DM. Research has shown that the use of metformin in those that are high risk for getting DM may delay the onset for as long as 15 years. If the patient takes metformin and increases their exercise and diet regimines then the chances of delaying the onset are even greater. Although intensive lifestyle changes still have the best chance for delaying the onset of DM, in the future Metformin may be used to delay the onset as well as for treatment of Diabetes. Did the article contain any additional...

...Homework Assignment – Week 1 Chapter 1 1- Why are financial markets important to the health of the economy? Because they channel funds from those who do not have a productive use for them to those who do, thereby resulting in higher economic efficiency. 2- When interest rates rise, how might businesses and consumers change their economic behavior? Businesses would cut investment spending because the cost of financing this spending is now higher, and consumers would be less likely to purchase a house or a car because the cost of financing their purchase is higher. 3- How can a change in interest rates affect the profitability of financial institutions? A change in interest rates affects the cost of acquiring funds for financial institution as well as changes the income on assets such as loans, both of which affect profits. In addition, changes in interest rates affect the price of assets such as stock and bonds that the financial institution owns that can lead to profits or losses. 4- Is everybody worse off when interest rates rise? No. People who borrow to purchase a house or a car are worse off because it costs them more to finance their purchase; however, savers benefit because they can earn higher interest rates on their savings. 5- What effect might a fall in stock prices have on business investment? The lower price for a firm’s shares means that it can raise a smaller amount of funds, and so investment in plant and equipment will fall. 6- What...
