Mergers and Acquisitions: Assuming rationality from all players, mergers and acquisitions deals originate out of specific strategic corporate requirements. In reality, the advisors (both legal & financial) and middlemen also play a significant role in the original activity. Acquirers / targets may focus on players for a potential acquisition. Buying players implies horizontal integration. There are lot of risks (financial as well as operational) involved and challenges in mergers and acquisitions face by company which is acquiring and target companies as which are listed below:-
· Synergies sometimes do not generate real cash flows as expected.
· Financial Risk arises from the amount of debt (taken to acquire other corporation) in a company’s capital structure. Impact of changing debt on valuation
· Increase in debt increases value over surge in interest tax yield
· Interest Tax shield gain is partially offset by increase in cost of equity
· There are complex processes involved in mergers and acquisition .It is difficult to compare betas measured against different indices due to differences in composition of index.
· Changing financial leverage affects the systematic risk that shareholder’s face.
· Risks when the acquirer and the Acquirer-Target merging entities are in two different countries
For the corporation that has acquired another company, merged with another company, or been acquired by another company, evaluate the strategy that led to the merger or acquisition to determine whether or not this merger or acquisition was a wise choice. (Facebook acquiring WhatsApp)
There are many reasons that a company consider before doing any merging or acquisition activity. Hence it can be safely considered that Facebook too has considered the factors related to the same.
First of all, the number of users of WhatsApp is around 450 million. WhatsApp was initially released in the year of 2009. In the span of just over 4 years having over 450 million users itself suggests that the growth of the company is phenomenal. Facebook have achieved just over 100 million in the initial 4 years. This provides the past history of growth for the company.
Another factor is the future growth. WhatsApp is adding around 1 million users daily which is one of the highest in the industry. These are the number of new users that the company is able to add. This shows the future growth potential of the company. Hence the valuation would increase a lot.
Another important factor is the synergy between the two companies. Facebook too has a messenger integrated in their website. But they are unable to provide direct strong competition to the WhatsApp. This means Facebook is left with two options:

TARGET CORPORATION 2
Target Corporation
Tiffine Bourland

This paper critically explores on Target Corporation in several regards. They include its plant locations, use of technology and methods that the company uses to control inventory. The company is headquartered at Minneapolis in Minnesota in the United States. The organization is located in over 1800 locations around the world today. It is however concentrated within the united states with only a few outlets outside the country. The organization has employed technology in connecting all business under the organization in different locations. The method that the company uses in engaging inventory is last in fast out (LIFO). The paper hold that Target Corporation has a global reach uses technology to link its different outlets and embraces the LIFO approach in controlling inventory (Ashkenas, Ulrich, Jick & Kerr, 2015).
The organization is located in different places in the United States of America with its headquarters in Minnesota. Its ability to perform well in locations outside the country has been low despite huge success of the organization in the country (Johnson, 2014). Locations of the organization in places such as Bangalore in India have been facilitated by its utilization of human resource personnel from the area.
By indulging local personnel, it becomes easier for the organization to operate because cheaper labor is among the factors that can be explored by the company for these locations. Other aspects that have influence ability of the company to perform in respective locations include tariffs and other economic conditions in the country (Ashkenas, Ulrich, Jick & Kerr, 2015). For example, outlets of the organization in Brazil have been undermined by the reluctance of the local government to embrace firms from America in favor of others from the east. China is a major force that is undermining expansion of Target Corporation. Some of facilities under the organization include discount store target, flexible mart store and the hypermarket super target. Target discount stored emerged in the year 1962 with the establishment of a target discount store in Roseville at Minnesota. Ability of the organization to operate different stored in respective places in the country is based on analysis of local factor. This has helped the organization establish outlets that are relevant to respective locations. Some of the division in this line includes target optical, target pharmacy and target photo (Johnson, 2014).
Super target on its part was established in the year 1990 with a target Greatland outlet in Apple Valley in Minnesota. For SuperTarget hypermarket, they began in the year 1995 at Omaha in Nebraska. Subsidiaries under the company include financial and retail services, private label brands and target sourcing services. They are in different regions to enhance their ability to appeal to wid ...

1 Las personas que aprenden otro idioma cuando son nios p.pdfcbholla1
(1) Las personas que aprenden otro idioma cuando son nios pueden sonar como hablantes
nativos, pero los adultos que aprenden idiomas a menudo cometen errores gramaticales notables.
(2) Pero, cundo exactamente en la vida de una persona se vuelve difcil dominar las reglas que
rigen un idioma? (3) Si bien las teoras anteriores especulaban que las personas solo pueden
adquirir un nuevo idioma a una edad temprana, las nuevas investigaciones respaldan una
perspectiva diferente.
(4) Los investigadores del rea de Boston encontraron evidencia de que el lapso de tiempo para la
adquisicin del lenguaje dura desde la infancia hasta la edad adulta temprana; este lapso de
tiempo se conoce como el perodo crtico. (5) Tal perodo tambin existe para el desarrollo de la
vista. (6) Estudios previos haban llegado a diversas conclusiones sobre el perodo crtico: se cierra
justo despus del nacimiento; se detiene alrededor de los 5 aos; dura hasta los 13 aos. (7)
Insatisfechos con el pequeo nmero de participantes de estos estudios, los investigadores de
Boston se dirigieron a una gran muestra de usuarios de idiomas para un estudio de adquisicin de
la gramtica inglesa. (8) Los investigadores desarrollaron un cuestionario de gramtica en lnea con
preguntas de seguimiento sobre los antecedentes lingsticos de los encuestados. (9) Al obtener
cerca de 700 000 respuestas, dos tercios de hablantes no nativos de ingls, el equipo de
investigacin mape en detalle la relacin entre la edad y la fluidez del idioma.
(10) La precisin de las respuestas a las preguntas del cuestionario de gramtica se desplom para
aquellos que comenzaron a aprender ingls despus de los 17 aos. (11) Aunque este resultado
indica que el perodo crtico para la adquisicin del idioma dura ms de lo que sugieren estudios
previos, el logro del idioma nativo -la fluidez al nivel del hablante est fuera del alcance de los
estudiantes adultos.
(12) Sin embargo, los estudiantes adultos de un segundo idioma deben permanecer optimistas.
(13) Los investigadores encontraron que el aprendizaje ptimo del idioma no se detiene por
completo despus del perodo crtico: contina tanto para los hablantes nativos como para los no
nativos hasta alrededor de los 30 aos. mal en el cuestionario de los investigadores puede ayudar
a otros estudiantes a ser ms realistas acerca de sus objetivos. (15) Dejar de lado el deseo de
dominar por completo la gramtica de un idioma puede permitir que un estudiante adulto se
esfuerce por lograr una competencia bsica en comunicacin, un resultado que se logra mejor,
sealan los investigadores, a travs de programas educativos que sumergen a los estudiantes en la
experiencia de un segundo idioma. en lugar de los que se centran en el aprendizaje de memoria.

1 Las personas que aprenden otro idioma cuando son nios p.pdfcbholla1
(1) Las personas que aprenden otro idioma cuando son nios pueden sonar como hablantes
nativos, pero los adultos que aprenden idiomas a menudo cometen errores gramaticales notables.
(2) Pero, cundo exactamente en la vida de una persona se vuelve difcil dominar las reglas que
rigen un idioma? (3) Si bien las teoras anteriores especulaban que las personas solo pueden
adquirir un nuevo idioma a una edad temprana, las nuevas investigaciones respaldan una
perspectiva diferente.
(4) Los investigadores del rea de Boston encontraron evidencia de que el lapso de tiempo para la
adquisicin del lenguaje dura desde la infancia hasta la edad adulta temprana; este lapso de
tiempo se conoce como el perodo crtico. (5) Tal perodo tambin existe para el desarrollo de la
vista. (6) Estudios previos haban llegado a diversas conclusiones sobre el perodo crtico: se cierra
justo despus del nacimiento; se detiene alrededor de los 5 aos; dura hasta los 13 aos. (7)
Insatisfechos con el pequeo nmero de participantes de estos estudios, los investigadores de
Boston se dirigieron a una gran muestra de usuarios de idiomas para un estudio de adquisicin de
la gramtica inglesa. (8) Los investigadores desarrollaron un cuestionario de gramtica en lnea con
preguntas de seguimiento sobre los antecedentes lingsticos de los encuestados. (9) Al obtener
cerca de 700 000 respuestas, dos tercios de hablantes no nativos de ingls, el equipo de
investigacin mape en detalle la relacin entre la edad y la fluidez del idioma.
(10) La precisin de las respuestas a las preguntas del cuestionario de gramtica se desplom para
aquellos que comenzaron a aprender ingls despus de los 17 aos. (11) Aunque este resultado
indica que el perodo crtico para la adquisicin del idioma dura ms de lo que sugieren estudios
previos, el logro del idioma nativo -la fluidez al nivel del hablante est fuera del alcance de los
estudiantes adultos.
(12) Sin embargo, los estudiantes adultos de un segundo idioma deben permanecer optimistas.
(13) Los investigadores encontraron que el aprendizaje ptimo del idioma no se detiene por
completo despus del perodo crtico: contina tanto para los hablantes nativos como para los no
nativos hasta alrededor de los 30 aos. mal en el cuestionario de los investigadores puede ayudar
a otros estudiantes a ser ms realistas acerca de sus objetivos. (15) Dejar de lado el deseo de
dominar por completo la gramtica de un idioma puede permitir que un estudiante adulto se
esfuerce por lograr una competencia bsica en comunicacin, un resultado que se logra mejor,
sealan los investigadores, a travs de programas educativos que sumergen a los estudiantes en la
experiencia de un segundo idioma. en lugar de los que se centran en el aprendizaje de memoria.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

6. Starbucks Scheduling Challenges (Scenario)
Starbucks' CEO Howard Schultz has vowed to provide store employees with more consistent
weekly schedules and longer notice of upcoming shifts. Starbucks is eliminating the practice
dubbed "clopening," which requires employees to shut down a store at night only to return early
the next morning to help open it.
Over the last two years, labour costs have been increasing for employers of low-skill workers. This
leads managers to tend toward understaffing than overstaffing. Also, many stores require
4. employees to find their own replacements when they are sick.
To assist with scheduling, Starbucks uses Kronos state-of-the-art software that forecasts store
traffic and helps managers set staff levels accordingly. However, the software doesn't make
scheduling workers four weeks in advance instead of the common practice of one week in
advance. According to a Kronos executive, the best predictor of store demand is the sales data
from one year ago that day.

month's and previous year's sales is an example of which requirement for successful value chain
management?

7. Shrinking the Supercentre (Scenario)
Walmart is making some major changes to their average store, dropping as many as 2500 items.
These changes have concerned some suppliers who worry about lost sales. As Walmart has
grown, managing inventory has become unruly and stores are not always neat and well stocked.
Walmart is leveraging technology to provide on-time data to help decide which products stay on
shelves and where to remove clutter.
Part of the change means less inventory in backrooms and dropping some products altogether.
Walmart is also more than doubling the width of aisles, making it more navigable for multiple carts.
Employees are starting to restock during the day, when customers are most likely to complain
about missing items. They are experimenting with lowering shelves by about a foot to make it
easier for shoppers to see around the store. That minor change could eliminate hundreds of
millions of dollars in annual sales of gum, candy, and magazines. To counteract that, Walmart is
also negotiating with suppliers to spend more money to earn a spot on shelves, pay additional
fees to store their products in warehouses, and give Walmart more time to pay for the goods.
18) Walmart's collaboration with suppliers is meant to provide improved procurement as well as
________.
A) enhanced customer order management
B) improved product development
5. C) improved logistics
D) improved transportation
