"Strategies Applied in Organization in Big Chinese Society" l Introduction The main role of the Human Resource Management has been widely documented and established by practitioners and even business commentators in the same way. Storey (1998) wrote about the hypothetical view, stating that its contributions has been multiplied obviously from the kind of importance now being given in conventional business strategy course to several other concepts such as core competences, intangible assets, intellectual capital, organizational competence and even knowledge management. The whole idea of the resource that was based from the vision of the firm certainly agreed dominance to the responsibility of people who are the basically the ultimate source of distinctive and difficult capabilities. Likewise, the competitive advantage that is to be derived from learning also places the Human Resource Management at the midpoint period. There are several businesses that focus on corporate strategies that are now regularly covering ideas that defined in general terms, Human Resource lessons that are needed in order to search their full meaning that includes their dimensions and even difficulties. From a professional outlook of Storey (1995), there is recently an abundance of hard proof that points to the importance of several Human Resource Management interventions. In this study, the

Flower Industry in Netherlands Haw Hsin Yang Rutgers University-Camden A) International Trade * Balance of payments-analyses and implications Netherlanders create a total GDP of €453 billion in 2003 which equals €27,900 per capita. Export and import of goods as % of GDP respectively reached 58% and 68%, and she is the sixth largest exporter and investor in world. A sizable current account surplus is produced by food processing, chemicals, petroleum refining, and electrical machinery. The country continues to be one of the leading European countries for attracting foreign direct investment. Though economic growth slowed considerably in 2001-03, as partly the global economic slowdown, for the four years before recession, annual growth of GDP averaged nearly 4%, which exceeded the EU average.

This investigation will try to test the level of external debt and measure its impact upon the least economicly developed countries economy.
INTRODUCTION .1 The increasing burden of external debt in the least economic developed countries has been a widely discussed topic in the international community. However, some concepts are shared by most of the economists, being this a reality in third world country economies. Without a doubt, the increasing flow of external resources from rich countries to poor countries, has contributed, in some cases, to impulse economic development and accelerate economic growth. However, it is also evident that an increase in the amount of external debt and the hardening of its financial conditions has resulted in a net outflow of payments, mainly capital plus interest, which has slowed down economic development. The logical consequence has been an increase in the external debt; a problem that has worsened since these additional resources have not been used in social projects whereas in the long run, the benefits are higher than the costs (interest rate). Twenty two years later, Ecuador is still unable to adequately develop its economy, thus making it necessary to question whether its situation is caused by the high stock of external debt. With this said, does Ecuador's External hinder economic development? .2 On the other hand, an international market of capitals developed rapidly, represented among others by private banks, whose funds have been added to the already existing

International economic relations
International economic relations In modern form The theoretical basis of a study of international economic relations in its modern form was formed as a result of a long and difficult process, full of successes but, nevertheless, with important mistakes. The early roots are to be found, perhaps, in Antic Greece in the works of Aristotel, Platon and Xenophon. In general, the antic philosophers opposed to the big commerce, supporting the idea of a closed domestic economy. The closed character of the production of a self-supply type, dominating from the antiquity up to 15th century gave no incentives for developing any profound and constant studies on international trade. In these conditions is in no way occasional that the theorists of antiquity and Middle Ages (scholastics) exaggerated the role of production (especially agricultural) and pleaded against the "art of making money", the chrematistics (after Aristotel). At the dawn of the Modern Age (16th century) there appeared the first trials of more systematic analyses of the international economic relations. Developed during the period of the downfall of feudalism and the transition to capitalism, the mercantile theory was the first trial to explain integrally the principles of international trade in a paradigm of the analysis of economic reality. Perhaps, the field of international trade was first closely studied by men
Economy and how it affects my business selling tables
| Page ________________ SUPPLY AND DEMAND. Scenario. Imagine you are the owner of a business manufacturing and selling a particular type of table. The average variable costs of producing each table are £180 while the fixed costs are £12,000. Also, you have carried out some market research and found that the total number of customers wishing to buy the table varies with changes in price of the table below: (Q1) Product: table Price (£) Quantity Demanded Total Revenue 00 770 77,000 140 680 95,200 180 610 109,800 220 550 121,000 260 500 130,000 300 460 138,000 340 400 136,000 380 320 121,600 (Q2) £300 would yield the greatest revenue at a quantity of 460 giving total revenue of 138,000. (Q3) Draw the demand curve for the table. Please see graph attached. Now, assume you are willing to supply the following number of tables at different prices: Price. Quantity supplied. 00 220 140 260 180 320 220 400 260 500 300 640 340 880 380 1400 (Q4) Draw a supply curve for the tables on the same diagram as the demand curve for Q3. Please see the graph attached. (Q5) On the supply/ demand diagram find the equilibrium quantities sold/ bought. The equilibrium price (E. Price) I found was 260
Colonialism and Colonies.
Colonialism and Colonies I INTRODUCTION Colonialism and Colonies, one country's domination of another country or people-usually achieved through aggressive, often military, actions-and the territory acquired in this manner. The terms colonialism and imperialism are sometimes used interchangeably, but scholars usually distinguish between the two, reserving colonialism for instances where one country assumes political control over another and using imperialism more broadly to refer to political or economic control exercised either formally or informally. This article will discuss both concepts and how they have been practiced in different parts of the world. It will summarize colonial practices before the 15th century and then focus in more detail on colonialism and imperialism during the last 500 years. II TYPES OF COLONIES In the past 500 years, there have been several types of colonies. The main ones were colonies of settlement, colonies of exploitation, and what might be called contested settlement colonies. Most European powers established more than one type of colony. The British Empire, for instance, included colonies of settlement (Virginia, Massachusetts, New Zealand, New South Wales), colonies of exploitation (Nigeria, Jamaica, Malaya), a preexisting empire (India), contested settlement colonies (Kenya), and spheres of influence (Argentina). The French Empire

Critically assess the impact of the Internet and E-commerce on Tax Regimes in the Commonweath Caribbean. Introduction Most, if not all, of the member states of the Commonwealth Caribbean derive their right to tax from their Constitutions.1 Section 48(1) of the Jamaican Constitution, for example, provides that '...Parliament may make laws for the peace, order and good government of Jamaica.' The Courts have continuously interpreted this right as one that is not unbridled and therefore, the governments of the region have to take every step to ensure that enactments do not contravene the provision of the Constitution.2 The stance of the Court was aptly put by Jackson JA in Inland Revenue Commisioners v. Lilleyman3 "...the courts need to be watchful for the constitutional rights of the citizens and against any stealthy encroachments thereon..." The power to tax, therefore, rests upon necessity and is inherent in any sovereign legislature under its general legislative power.4 The necessity being to provide the government with revenue necessary to meet its expenditure, thus satisfying the social, political and economic needs of its people. An erosion of the region's tax base will therefore be an issue of major concern. Globalization has impacted upon the region and as a result there has been a concerted thrust by most of the member states, to come together to attain a

Heinz Company, more commonly known as Heinz, significantly contributes to the global carbon dioxide emission due to its many manufacturing facilities worldwide. Carbon credit trading is a major growing sector of the international trading economy; this must be kept under consideration by all enterprises. Heinz's facilities in the EU are under the influence of the Kyoto Protocol and the European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS). For Heinz Company, this currently applies for their facilities in the EU, but not for those in the U.S. This resulted in the emergence of volunteer carbon credit markets to prepare
A study of Patent system in India in the light of Patent Cooperation Treaty.
A study of Patent system in India in the light of Patent Cooperation Treaty Introduction: As we know that Patent is one of the types of Intellectual property, which nowadays regarded as one of the important subject matter of the world. Every one wants to protect their inventions, and want to make money out of them. It is true that the main ambition to protect the invention is none other than to earn the benefits out of them by various means. Intellectual property shares many of the characteristics associated with real and personal property. For example, intellectual property is an asset, and as such it can be bought, sold, licensed, exchanged, or gratuitously given away like any other form of property. Further, the intellectual property owner has the right to prevent the unauthorized use or sale of the property. The most noticeable difference between intellectual property and other forms of property, however, is that intellectual property is intangible, that is, it cannot be defined or identified by its own physical parameters. It must be expressed in some noticeable way to be protectable. First it is essential to know that what provoke the researcher to do research in this particular topic. As it is well known fact that PCT is nowadays become trendy and successful mode of filing the patents application. Almost all the countries has become the members of PCT.
