...What do you think is unethical? The countrywide approved everyone to get their loans, no matter they have jobs or not, no matter they have income or not, no matter they have assets or not. The criteria they use may be unethical. They don’t care whether the documents are valid, whether they can verify the income, whether the appraisal is any good. They just care about getting the loan closed, in order to do another loan. The underwriters/ contractors looked through the loan as quick as they can. The loans are not looked at like they should have been looked at. They won’t think through with the common sense which is reasonable or not. ( teacher 10,000, waitress 12,000). On the instruction of their supervisor and lead. In the world of due diligence, they don’t use the word “fraud”. Even if it is suspected, they will say it seems like incorrect. 60% to more than 80% of the loans did not meet their policy. Clinton Holdings perform due diligence to two dozen banks, who were buying the mortgage from the Countrywide, Ameriquests, the New Centurys, packaging those loans, selling them to other investors. In each of these banks, The Clinton Holdings find a substantial portion of the loans did not meet the standards of the bank buying those loans. The banks did not tell the investors that the loans were defective. Blankfein was unapologetic. Do you think they know that you think something is a piece of crap when you sell it to them and then bet against it? When the supervisor go to the...

...Decision Making: It’s Not What You Think Decision Making: It’s Not What You Think Henry Mintzberg, MIT Sloan Management Review (2001) This essay’s purpose is to summarize Henry Mintzberg’s and Frances Westley’s article about decision making and possible approach methods that individuals and organization can choose to be used in problem solving depending on the nature of the issue. The first part will sum up the main ideas of the article, including main theories and practical advises that the authors are recommending. The second part of the essay will present some criticism towards the article and its theoretical framework and arguments. Main ideas and a summary of the theory Decision Making is a traditional area of interest in every business school and company. How are decisions actually made? Are they rational or just products of individuals’ personal opinions? Should they even be based on what is called as rational thinking? Henry Mintzberg and Frances Westley tried to tackle this problem of how decisions should be made in their essay Decision Making: It’s Not What You Think, published in MIT Sloan Management Review (2001). They challenge the traditional approach of logical problems followed by step-by-step solutions. The researchers argue that there are a whole bunch of different types of problems in need of different approaches. The common type of decision making follows a clear pattern. First step would be defining the problem. Secondly, one needs to diagnose the...

...your personal view on algebra being a requirement for your degree program. How do you feel about being forced to take math? My personal view on algebra is that it has never been one of my favorite subjects because I could never catch on to it because all of the letters that are mixed into it makes me confused. I don’t feel that I am being forced to take algebra, but when I found out that it was one of the subjects that are required in my degree program, I was a little hesitant to start school. I made my mind up to come back and face my fear of this subject because I felt that if I could overcome the loss of my grandmother, then I could succeed in algebra. Mathematics is part of the liberal arts curriculum, as well as the curriculum for any STEM field. Describe what you think of when you hear the phrase “liberal arts.” What about “STEM?”...

...‘She smiled at herself in the mirror too often these days.’ What do you think is the significance of mirrors in the Bloody Chamber? Mirrors are used in The Bloody Chamber, The Courtship of Mr Lyon and The Tiger’s Bride as a very effective plot device. The way that they are used differs between the three stories but all have a slight magical quality in keeping with the fairy tale theme. Within all three short stories there is an existing theme of metamorphosis. The first mention of mirrors within The Bloody Chamber is within the intimate scene between the Marquis and the heroine of the story. The bed chamber is surrounded by mirrors, amplifying all of the intense emotions of the scene. This is because the mirrors repeat the scene 12 times over ‘a dozen husbands impaled a dozen wives’ the violent and emotive language used makes the reader feel uncomfortable and highlights the connection between sexuality and violence throughout the book. In the use of the mirrors throughout this scene Carter succeeds in heightening the horrific nature of the scene through the addition of more reflected couples to the scene. The mirrors also create a pornographic element to the scene, making it appear as though the Marquis and the girl are being observed by onlookers. In using mirrors throughout this scene some of the Marquis perverse sexual desires are revealed to the readers, helping to foreshadow what is to come later on in the story. As the protagonist has discovered the books that the...

...3) What do you think of the CIO’s final comment about how to change attitudes? Do you think it will work why or why not? The CIO’s comment was because of the failed VCF system, distrustful of the technology by the FBI bureau, lack of new system that encourage open communication and information sharing. On whether it would work, my answer is yes. It will work because the FBI strategy will be changed through continuous training programs and the introduction of a new system design that fits the FBI standard. Another reason I think it will work is the implementation of the Sentinel. With the benefits of the case management system, the FBI strategy will change. 4) If you were the CIO what would you do to help the FBI modernize and make better...

...To what extent does executive pay influence company performance? Whether there is a relationship between the level of executive pay and company performance is a topic of great interest. The forms of executive pay can be both equity-based compensation which is based on the price of company’s stocks, like stocks and options, and non-equity-based compensation, such as cash compensation- including salary and bonus (Bebchuk & Fried, 2006 ). A company’s performance can be measured by its economic return, in other words, the accounting performance on financial statement (Gulen & Rau, 2009). This essay supports that executive pay may have no significant influence on company performance, because there are some ways that managers can decouple their payments from performance, and this essay will investigate these possible underlying reasons. There are studies examine the relationship between the pay policy and performance, and the results do not support the hypothesis that there is significant link between payment and performance. Kubo (2005) examined this link by investigate a group of Japanese companies and the result showed that companies with high pay-performance sensitivity did not get better performance. Gulen and Rau’s (2009) study on incentive pay also suggested that managerial compensation components such as restricted stock, options and long-term incentive payouts, that are meant to align managerial interests with shareholder value, do not necessarily translate into...

...Q 16) What do you think of the view that the most meaningful relationships in Birdsong are those between men? One may argue that the view that the most meaningful relationships in Birdsong are those between men is true to some extent. In the novel Faulks presents a number of meaningful relationships between men that are key to helping the characters maintain a purpose throughout the war within the novel. Stephen forms a relationship with Weir that wouldn’t have been of the same nature had they not been involved in a combat situation, but the element of war helps them to understand one another, creating a meaningful relationship between the men. Stephen and Weir place an element of trust in one another ‘I want you to do the runes, tell me my fortune.’ Weir relies on Stephen in this instance to convince him that he will survive and make it through the war. Evidently Stephen fixes the cards but without the use of the fortune telling Weir would surely lack confidence and almost certainly expect death. The strength of the relationship, however, is such that both characters can rely on each other through the hardships of war. The relationship between Jack Firebrace and Stephen underground also supports the view that the most meaningful relationships in Birdsong are those between men. Jack’s character is first introduced ‘lying forty five feet underground’. This presents an ominous, dangerous mood. Faulks also implements a sense of foreshadowing here as Jack’s introduction reflects...

...What do you think the enduring strategic and tactical level lessons of OP HUSKY are for the British Army? 'Every soldier must know, before he goes into battle, how the little battle he is to fight fits into the larger picture, and how the success of his fighting will influence the battle as a whole.' Field Marshal Sir Bernard Law Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, KG, GCB, DSO, PC, nicknamed "Monty" and the "Spartan General". This essay will examine a number of lessons learnt from OP HUSKY July 9th 1943 during World War II. Both strategic and tactical examples will be drawn upon in order to relate to current day/ future operations. Prior to the lessons the question requires further explanation to provide greater accuracy within the analysis. The two main areas for development within the question are the terms strategic and tactical. Strategic can be defined as 'relating to the gaining of overall or long-term military advantage'1 Tactical on the other hand can be defined as 'relating to or constituting actions carefully planned to gain a specific military end.'2 The Allied invasion of Sicily, codenamed OP HUSKY, was one of the major campaigns and naval landings of World War II. It began on the night of 9th - 10th July 1943 and was a combination of a large scale amphibious and fairborne operation proceeded by a six weeks of inland combat. The first strategic lesson that can be learnt is the need for co-ordination and integration of all arms and...

...To what extent do you think that shareholders are always worse off following a merger or takeover? (40) A stakeholder is an individual or group with a direct interest in the activities and performance f the group. Mergers occur where two or more firms agree to come together under one firm. Following a merger or takeover, customers are always worse off because they are likely to be faced with less choice thus higher prices. This is because two firms merging together reduces the number of firms in a market which in turn increase their market share thus market power. This makes it increasingly difficult for new firms with innovative ideas to enter the market and for smaller firms to stay in the market, so consumers get less varied and innovative goods. Therefore less choice is a negative implication for consumers. Moreover, less choice can mean higher prices because firms have more market power and less competition so if a firm increases price, consumers essentially have nowhere to go as threat of competitors is reduced. In the merger between Thomas cook and co-operative travel there is fear that they will increase prices and there will be less choice which is completely conflicting of customers objectives which is to have quality goods at competitive prices. However, the extent of these negative implications are dependent on the sizes of the firms integrating, also the external influences at the time. During the merger of Thomas cook and cooperative there was a recession....

...‘GM food advances the goal of sustainable development.’ To what extent do you think this is true? The Earth is facing severe environmental degradation. Years of resource exploitation and pollution have caused environmental problems and their effects are being felt globally. It has been estimated that if the world’s population reaches between10-11 billion then 5 more Planet Earths would be needed to maintain the present level of ecological decline. The environmental use in some countries is already unsustainable. Technology has allowed the world to cope with agriculture and an increasing population, however the FAO expects a long term decrease in food production in rich countries (Alexandratos 1988). 800 million people are affected today by hunger and malnutrition(Food Future 2000). The FAO claims that 650 million of these people will still be in the same situation by 2010. The world produces enough food, often it is the distribution process that causes problems. However this food may be produced in a non sustainable way. Pesticides, use of non farming land and the demand for cash crops over self sufficiency are not necessarily in the environments best interest. Factors such as poverty, wealth and inequality place burdens on the environment and possible sustainability. Genetically modified foods could be a key factor in advancing the goal of sustainable development. Biotechnology is the use of biological science to alter living organisms for the benefit of mankind. Every...

...To what extent do you think a leader can make a significant difference to the achievement of a business’ corporation aims? (40) Leaders motivate people. They inspire people to do things they wouldn’t do otherwise. Leaders’ power comes from their personalities – people do what their leaders tell them to do because they want to. Managers are not always good leaders. Managers set objectives for their department and for the people in it. They organise resources to get the job done and achieve their objectives. Their power comes from their position – employees do what their managers tell them to do because they have to. Managers who are good leaders can persuade people that the decisions they make and the objectives they set are the best ones. There are many different types of leaders; people who style themselves on military leaders for example. Leaders need to make tough decisions and act quickly, but that shouldn’t instil a culture of fear among employees. One person who is seen to be a good leader is Richard Branson; most people in the virgin offices around the world would have heard a speech from him at some point. He states, ‘of course, there will be times when strong and decisive leadership is necessary, to make sure the right moves are made. If you place the emphasis on getting the little things right, and address the everyday problems that come up, you can encourage a culture of attention to detail.’ This shows that he can be a very inspirational leader as good leadership...
