...INSURANCE: AN INTRODUCTION Insurance may be described as a social device to reduce or eliminate risks of loss to life and properly. It is a provision which a prudent man makes against inevitable contingencies, loss or misfortune. Once Frank H. Knight said "Risk is uncertainty and uncertainty is one of the fundamental facts of life." Insurance is the modern method by which men make the uncertain certain and the unequal; equal. It is the means by which success is almost guaranteed. Through its operation- the strong contribute to the support of the weak and weak secure, not by favor sent by right duly purchased and paid for, the support of the strong (Calvin Coolidge.) Under the plan of insurance, a large number of people associate themselves by sharing risks attached to individuals. As in private life, in business also there are dangers and risks of different kinds. The aim of all types of insurance is to make provision against such dangers. The risks which can be insured against include fire, the perils of sea (marine insurance), death (life insurance) and, accidents and burglary. Any risk contingent upon these, may be insured against at a premium commensurate with the risk involved. Thus, collective bearing of risks is insurance. Definition Insurance in its basic form is defined as “ A contract between two parties whereby one party called insurer undertakes in exchange for a fixed sum called premiums, to pay the other party called insured a fixed amount of money...

...... ~ HarvardBusinessSchool 9-395-019 Rev. January 24, 1997 Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation As Charlie Mayfield, vice president of Marketing for Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation (SSRC) in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, looked out of bis office and saw the lines at the ticket windows on a warm, sunny day in March 1993, he smiled to himself. SSRCwas having its best year ever and had maintained its position as one of the premier North American ski resorts. SSRCwas not, however, immune to the difficulties faced by the ski industry. First, Mayfield was concerned about the trend among customers of coming to Steamboat and other ski resorts and spending fewer of their vacation days skiing on the mountain, preferring instead to participate in other wintertime activities such as snowmobiling. Second, while skier days1 had continued to increase in Colorado over the last several years, the number of skier days in the entire United States had actually decreased. Furthermore, Steamboat's share of the Colorado skier market had steadily decreased since 1990. FinaIly, Mayfield was concerned about Steamboat's low percentage, relative to other resorts, of visitors who intended to make a repeat visit to the resort. In the 1991-92season, the percentage of Steamboat destination skiers intending to make a repeat visit to Steamboat declined to 55%; other resorts, such as the group of Disney Resorts, claimed as high as a 90% repeat visit rate. These trends, combined with Steamboat management's...

Coca Cola Company and others, Respondents. Judgement: S. C. AGRAWAL. J. :- Special leave granted. 2. In the past nations often went to war for the protection and advancement of their economic interests. Things have changed now. Under the international order envisaged by the Charter of the United Nations war is no longer an instrument of State policy. Now-a-days there are wars between corporations, more particularly corporations having multi-national operations, for the protection and advancement of their economic interests. These wars are fought on the economic plane but some of the battles spill over to Courts of law. The present case is one such legal battle. The combatants are two American multi national corporations dominating the soft drinks market having operations in a number of countries. On the one side is Coca Cola Company (respondent No. 1), hereinafter referred to as "Coca Cola," and on the other side is PEPSICO INC.(for short "Pepsi"), and its subsidiaries and subsidiaries of the subsidiaries which are under, direct or indirect, control of Pepsi.

...1. Introduction HSBC is named after its founding member, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, which was established in 1865 to finance the growing trade between Europe, India and China. In the early years of the 20th century, HSBC widened its activities in the East and became increasingly involved in the issuing of loans to national governments, especially in China, to finance modernisation and internal infrastructure projects such as railway building. In the later years of the 20th century HSBC moved from an important regional bank to one of the world's leading financial services organisations. In the 21st century, HSBC has renewed its focus on its birthplace, growing its business in China both organically and through a series of strategic partnerships. Nowadays, HSBC's international network comprises more than 6,200 offices in 74 countries and territories in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa,. ranks first in the Forbes 400 Top UK based companies in spite of its root from Asian, with deversified products and services, including advisory, financing, trading, sales, transaction banking, research and analysis.

...200 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MAGNETICS, VOL. 38, NO. 1, JANUARY 2002 Generalized Formulation for the Description of Hysteresis in Soft Magnetic Materials Paiboon Nakmahachalasint, Student Member, IEEE and Khai D. T. Ngo, Member, IEEE Abstract—This paper presents a phenomenological formulation that broadens the range of applicability of the Basso–Bertotti hysteresis model to include soft magnetic materials with very gradual saturation, such as commercial manganese-zinc (MnZn) power ferrites. The formulation also enables the Basso–Bertotti model to better characterize both the major loop and the minor loops of these soft magnetic materials. The formulation introduces a model that defines the transition between low field/minor parameter loops and high field/major loop. An explicit expression for magnetization in term of domain-wall position was synthesized to make the hysteresis model numerically attractive. The formulation was verified by experimental data of commercial MnZn ferrites. Index Terms—Hysteresis modeling, power MnZn ferrites, Preisach model, soft magnetic materials. ployed in [6], but the material treated was the hard polycrystalline hexaferrite and the issue of minor versus major loops was not addressed. Following this section, the DWM model for static hysteresis is reviewed in Section II. A domain-wall surface function suitable for power ferrites is synthesized in Section III. Emphasis is placed more on the mathematics, numerics, and formulation/implementation...
