A STUDY ABOUT RISK ANALYSIS WITH EXPLANATIONS AND A CASE STUDY
A STUDY ABOUT "RISK ANALYSIS" WITH EXPLANATIONS AND A CASE STUDY ABSTRACT This following report explain risk analysis, facilitated risk analysis process and its concepts and processes. Then it summarizes how risk can measure and control and an approach of risk analysis called as Simulation Approach. At the end, there is a case study to analyze how the risk analysis can apply in a case. Risk analysis is a technique to identify and assess factors that may jeopardize the success of a project or achieving a goal. This technique also helps to define preventive measures to reduce the probability of these factors from occurring and identify countermeasures to successfully deal with these constraints when they develop to avert possible negative effects on the competitiveness of the company. One of the more popular methods to perform a risk analysis in the computer field is called Facilitated Risk Analysis Process (FRAP). FRAP analyzes one system, application or segment of business processes at time. Risks come in all shapes and sizes; risk professionals generally recognize three major types. Market risk is the risk that prices will move in a way that has negative consequences for a company; credit risk is the risk that a customer, counterparty, or supplier will fail to meet its obligations; and operational risk is the risk that people, processes, or systems will fail, or that an
Disseratation on Energy Performance Certificates (EPC's)
Abstract This dissertation considers the government's recent implementation of the Energy Performance Certificates (EPC's) and its impact on the rental property market. A critical review of literature is included in chapter 2 of the dissertation. The review is structured into 11 different sections including; 1) Introduction, 2) Climate change, 3) Conventions and Protocols, 4) European Climate Change Programme, 5) Stern review, 6) Home Information Packs (HIP's), 7) Energy Performance Certificates (EPC's), 8) Political opinions, 9) Property professional opinions, 10) Display Energy Certificates (DEC's), 11) Criticisms of DEC's. The literature review highlights the key issues leading up to the implementation of the EPC as well as evaluating benefits and limitations. Primary research was carried out with the aid of questionnaires as well as interviews. The questionnaires were used to obtain tenants views on EPC's. The interviews were semi-structured and conducted with professional members of the rental property market. The results of the questionnaire demonstrated a general lack of awareness of EPC's. The data collected from the interviews underlined key issues and concerns that had arisen with the introduction of EPC's. .1 Background Information The fundamental purpose for the introduction of Energy Performance Certificates (EPC's) across the UK is to reduce greenhouse gas
A View From the Bridge - The whole of this play involves symbolism, on many different levels.
` A View From the Bridge The whole of this play involves symbolism, on many different levels. The end scene, in which Eddie takes his own life with his own knife is symbolic of the self-destructive nature that led to such an ending. As Arthur Miller wished to write 'a modern Greek tragedy´ it is likely that the symbolism of the dagger is Eddie´s sexuality, which drove him to his drastic actions and eventually death. During the confrontation earlier in the play Marco raised a chair like a weapon, symbolic of the fight yet to come. Rudolpho danced with Catherine when she had previously been attending to Eddie, symbolic of him taking her from Eddie´s life. Therefore it seems natural to reason that Miller intended the title of the play to have some significance other than the geography of the location. The most obvious interpretation is of the audience sharing with Alfieri an unbiased overview of the unfolding of events. It is like being able to see from a bridge over a river, our vision uncluttered by opinions as it would be by the side of the river, or perhaps even as part of the river. The spray and swirling of currents of a river could represent the uncertain nature of life that clouds our perceptions and the flow of water the rush of emotions that carry us from birth to death. Though, even Alfieri is not completely removed from the happenings of the play, he takes an

Perceptions of wrongful convictions amongst Americans working in the criminal justice system.
ABSTRACT During the past several years the issue of wrongful conviction has received increasing attention from state legislators, the legal system, and researchers. Much of this attention has focused on death penalty convictions which have been set aside. As of February, 2003, postconviction DNA testing in the United States had led to the exoneration of 123 wrongfully-convicted individuals. To date, it is unknown how frequently wrongful conviction occurs in the United States. Also unknown is how frequently systemic errors occur which previous research has identified as being associated with the phenomenon wrongful conviction. The present research sought to address this deficiency of knowledge by asking professionals who work in the criminal justice system their perceptions regarding these issues. A 53-item survey questionnaire was administered to four groups of Ohio criminal justice professionals: law enforcement (sheriffs and chiefs of police), prosecutors (chief and assistant), defense attorneys (private and public defenders), and judges (common pleas, appellate, and Supreme Court). The 798 respondents indicate they believe wrongful conviction occurs in 1 to 3 percent of all felony convictions. With more than 2,000,000 individuals incarcerated in the nation’s prisons and jails, this error rate would signify that between 20,000 and 60,000 individuals are

The low unemployment rate, GDP, attractiveness factors continue to be a magnet in attracting MNCs to set up their headquarters here. The expatriates and foreigners which follow will drive up both the rental and sales demand. Given the excellent investment climate in Singapore - strong financial fundamentals and political stability, this upward demand trend is likely to continue for at least the next 5 years. Above all, Singapore is top in corporate governance among all other Asian countries, displaying the determination of the government to do whatever it takes to make sure it remains competitive in the region. Government Regulations and our Views on the Recent Cooling Measures It is in our view that the recent rounds of cooling measures are targeted at speculators who are manipulating the economy recovery as an opportunity to flip properties, resulting in price
E-commerce and its effects in Ireland
3 Business Environment E-commerce is a business issue. It will affect all businesses in Ireland, and in particular those engaged in international trade. It will also affect businesses previously sheltered from international competition in home markets. It can make a significant contribution to the achievement of national social and economic objectives. It also offers significant new enterprise and inward investment opportunities. A supportive and adaptive business environment is essential to realise this potential. The changes being brought about by e-commerce at enterprise level require new frameworks for conducting business: government policies relating to commerce need to be re-examined, as most were formed with a very different image of commerce in mind. Reform is needed in legal and regulatory areas, such as trusted third parties, contract law and tax collection. However, action is also required in other policy areas that influence enterprise competitiveness including logistics, skills, awareness, training, and international marketing. This section sets out the key actions required on the part of government, the development agencies, and the enterprise sector. A partnership approach is required to speedily implement the required changes. 3.1. Legal and Regulatory Framework The development of a secure and conducive legal environment for e-commerce could establish

Research suggests that children are exerting more influence over family buying decisions. What are the implications of this for retailers, brands and marketers?
MAIN PROJECT Research suggests that children are exerting more influence over family buying decisions. What are the implications of this for retailers, brands and marketers? Children are an important part of the family buying process. But what roles do they play? Marketing theory suggests five main roles in a family buying process: -Initiator -Influencer -Decider -Buyer - User Which roles do children play in addition to the obvious one - "the user" Children certainly influence family buying decisions from cars to holidays. They are also the buyers of the future. Provide children with Penguin bars and McVitie's may be able to hold on to the adult due to brand awareness and brand loyalty formed at such an early age. But how should businesses market to children? Are there conflicts with being seen to specifically target the child audience - can it alienate parents? Products have to appeal to the conflicting agendas of child and parent, while fighting off increasing competition. A marketer of children's foods was recently quoted as follows: "Ten years ago children wouldn't have given a damn about cheese. It used to be just Dairylea, but now children's dairy products encompass everything from cheese to yogurts, and fromage frais. Our brands also face more intense competition than ever and it's not just from other chocolate biscuits - it's from products such as Dairylea

Introduction "Every picture tells a story" An old saying that holds true. A picture can tell us more in an instant than a thousand words ever could. A picture records emotions, expressions, feelings and conveys them easily to the onlooker. Photographs capture hundreds of years of history be it on a world scale or at a personal level. We capture our weddings, births, birthdays and other occasions dear to us on camera because we want to hold on to that moment forever. Every time we look at a photograph we remember that day and relive that moment. The camera never lies. It takes a moment in time and freezes it. We rely on photographs as a tool to help us to understand and to remember the history of the world. Most of the worlds great historical events have been captured on film. A photograph of an innocent victim of war makes the victim real, like someone we knew rather than a name in a paper, and touches us far more deeply than stories in a book. Peoples descriptions of events are often tainted by exaggeration, imperfect memories and personal opinions but there is no denying the evidence of a photograph. The camera has come along way since the days of Niepcei. The first cameras were big and
