Introduction
With the large situation, first the world financial crisis and so those of national debt and the euro zone, the dramatic distinction looked between economic strategies marked, on this one hand, By the dynamic usage of economic policies designed to induce permanently debt-financed demand and by strategies from the regulation of deficits, liabilities and business competitiveness on the different. On the one side there are nations like the U.S., Britain and France and on the different, Germany and other virtuous nations at the euro region.
A balanced budget, especially the government plan, is the plan with revenues equivalent to expenditures. There is neither the only budget deficit nor the budget excess; put differently, “this accounts difference.” More broadly, it relates to the plan with no liabilities, but perhaps with the surplus. The at regular intervals balanced plan is a plan that is not essentially balanced year-to-year then again is poised over the whole economic cycle, working the excess into boom periods in addition working the shortfall in the lean years, with these counterbalancing over time.
Budget shortfalls and excesses
When the government expenses surpass administration tax revenues at the given year, then the government is working the budget discrepancy for this year. This budget shortfall, which constitutes the variance amongst government expenditures and taxation revenues, is also funded via government borrowing; this administration matters long‐term, interest‐bearing bonds as well as utilizes that payoffs to finance the deficit. The overall product of government bonds and interest payments striking, from all both the present as well as the time, is called the public loan. So, when the entire government finances the shortfall through borrowing, it is contributing to the public debt. Then when government expenditures are not as much as tax revenues at the given year, the government is working the budget excess for this year (Seccareccia, 2017).
This fund surplus is the difference between taxation revenues in addition administration expenditures. These revenues from this budget extra are classically utilized to decrease any existing public debt. In this case where government expenses are just same as tax revenues in the given year, then the government is working a stable budget for this year (Dahan, & Strawczynski, 2020)
It is crucial to differentiate between external and internal liabilities. External debt implies that the nation has borrowed money overseas to protect the balance of the payments deficit. Internal liability is what the government has borrowed to protect the balance of the payments deficit. The role that the government borrows overseas can, therefore, be included both in the government as well as international debt. Change of the cost balance def.
The effect of Economic Conditions on Net Greek Migration
This document provides an introduction, literature review, model specification, data description, empirical results, and conclusions regarding a study analyzing the effect of economic conditions on Greek net migration from 1991-2014. The study uses econometric techniques to model the relationship between key economic indicators like GDP, inflation, unemployment, interest rates, and dummy variables for economic crisis and EU membership, on net migration. The initial linear model showed some issues which were partially addressed by transforming it to a log-log model. Overall, the study found GDP and unemployment were statistically significant in explaining migration, and concluded that strengthening Greece's economic position could help stabilize net migration flows.
This Year, Next Year: Global Mid-Year Forecast Report
The document provides an overview and forecast of global advertising growth in 2020 and 2021 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. It predicts that global advertising will decline 11.8% in 2020 but rebound with 8.2% growth in 2021. Key industries like travel, automotive, and entertainment have faced significant challenges, while e-commerce and digital media have accelerated. The pandemic's economic effects have been highly concentrated on small businesses and lower-wage workers. Recovery forecasts vary significantly between markets depending on factors like pandemic control and economic stimulus measures.
The greek sovereign debt crisis
This document summarizes a research paper that investigates the antecedents and consequences of Greece's debt crisis as well as reforms to address it. 1) Weak fiscal management, misreported statistics, corruption, and inflexible policies made Greece vulnerable to the crisis. 2) The crisis had twin constraints - large budget and current account deficits - and its consequences included high unemployment and loss of investor confidence. 3) Greece undertook austerity measures to meet deficit targets under the Stability and Growth Pact but faced challenges due to its large external debt.
Group m tyny global forecast
GroupM has released its Global Mid-Year Media Forecast that details how COVID-19 sharply transformed the global advertising economy from a 6.2% growth rate in 2019 to a double-digit decline this year.

Income measurements and comparisons
This document summarizes a paper that discusses ways to better measure a country's total income by accounting for factors not captured in official statistics, such as underground economies. It outlines four main issues in income measurement according to the OECD: 1) accounting for illegal activities, 2) measuring depreciation of capital, 3) enabling international GDP comparisons, and 4) accounting for environmental costs. The document then focuses on proposed methods for estimating the size of underground economies using currency demand approaches, adjusting for purchasing power parity in international GDP comparisons, and producing satellite accounts to incorporate environmental impacts.
Final Paper
The document analyzes Greece's debt crisis by comparing it to the US recession of 2007-2009. It finds that Greece's unemployment and GDP per capita were hit harder than the US. While Greece has received bailouts from the EU and IMF totaling over €240 billion, it still faces high unemployment of over 26% in 2014 and reform is needed. The response to the US recession through acts like TARP helped stabilize the economy, while Greece still has progress to make despite recent signs of improvement.
The world in 2016 towards the depression and the totaliarianism
This document discusses the gloomy economic prospects for 2016 according to the OECD, including slow growth in the US, EU, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. It notes that Germany is the only major EU country maintaining positive but low GDP growth. Among BRICS countries, Brazil and Russia face recessions due to falling commodity prices while China is slowing. Three new global trade agreements (TPP, TTIP, TiSA) are being negotiated in secret that threaten democracy and favor transnational corporations in services, which account for most economic activity. The agreements aim to standardize laws around finance, social security and intellectual property in ways that benefit corporations at the expense of social and environmental protections.
Detroit Michigan Bankruptcy and Greece; Comparative Lessons in Economic Manag...
Detroit filed for bankruptcy in 2013 due to a long decline stemming from population loss, high taxes, and loss of manufacturing jobs. The city had a large debt and pension burden, and a shrinking tax base due to population decline. It also faced high levels of crime and underfunded emergency services due to budget cuts. Complex financial deals proved costly for Detroit's already strained finances.
Decomposing the Growth of Portugal: A Case for Increasing Demand, not austeri...
Decomposing the Growth of Portugal: A Case for Increasing Demand, not austeri...Grupo de Economia Política IE-UFRJ
This paper presents an analysis of Portugal's economy from 1999 to 2015, providing an
alternative to explanations that present the situation faced by Southern European
countries after the Great Recession as a matter of excessive expenditure or loss in
competitiveness. Based upon the Sraffian Supermultiplier model, we look at how
demand components evolved along the analyzed period, in a growth accounting setting.
This assessment evidences that insufficient effective (public) demand -- not balance-ofpayments
constraints nor an alleged excess of public expenditure -- is what explains
Portugal's low-to-negative growth rates from 2001 forward. Given the limited
productive structure, a labor market that is not strong enough to guarantee a solid
internal credit expansion and the present institutional setting (which makes fiscal
expenditure an also limited source of effective demand), we conclude that the only way
for Portugal to abandon the low growth path would be a more cooperative fiscal stance

The document summarizes key trends in the global footwear industry in 2011, including:
- Asia accounted for 87% of global footwear production, led by China. The top 10 producers were all Asian countries except Brazil.
- China was also the largest footwear consumer market globally, followed by the US and India.
- Asia dominated footwear exports, responsible for 84% of global exports. China was by far the largest exporter.
- Europe was the top importing region, receiving 40% of global imports, though its share has been declining. The US remained the largest individual importing country.

The document summarizes key trends in the global footwear industry in 2011. It finds that Asia dominates production, accounting for 87% of the 21 billion pairs produced worldwide. China is the largest producer. Europe and North America together consume 38% of global footwear sales. Asia exports 84% of the world's footwear, led by China exporting almost three-quarters of global footwear exports. Europe is the largest importer of footwear, accounting for 40% of global imports. Total global footwear trade surpassed $100 billion for the first time in 2011, up 15% from 2010, as quantities and values both increased substantially over the last decade.
Impact Of Usd Credit Interest Rates, Libor Rates, Net Sales, Turkey’s Tourism...
Tourism sector is mostly important for all potential countries. In this study tourism firms in Turkey were studied aspect of total liabilities as the focus subject during 14 years period in 2001-2014.The firms were quoted in Borsa İstanbul in same years.As a result of two type of panel data analysis/study: total liabilities of analysed companies are in inverse relation with USD loan rates and Libor interest rates. In other words, it was determined that a reduction in USD loan rates and Libor interest rates would reflect positively on total liabilities. According to this, it can be said that companies would prefer to go into debt in case of a reduction in loan and libor interest rates.A positive relation between these companies’―total liabilities‖ amount and ―net sales‖ amount has been determined. The effect of an increase in one of them should be an increase on the other as well.These companies interaction with Turkey's tourism income must be positive, as it is with their net sales.In other words, borrowing decisions of these companies are affected by a reduction in interest rates or Libor rates being low and their net sales amount.

Grexit
This document provides an overview and analysis of the causes of Greece's financial crisis that began in 2009. It discusses several underlying causes such as corruption, an inefficient public sector, a rigid labor market, an uncompetitive economic structure, a progressive tax system, and excessive borrowing. The austerity measures implemented in response are not yielding the intended results and Greece's financial position has significantly deteriorated. The document aims to properly diagnose the causes of the crisis and evaluate the effectiveness of the responses in order to prescribe better options for Greece to resolve its financial challenges.
Greece Crisis
Greece has been experiencing a debt crisis as its budget deficit and debt levels have risen significantly. This was caused by falling tax revenues, increased spending, misreporting of economic statistics, and the effects of the global financial crisis which hurt Greece's major industries of tourism and shipping. To address the crisis, Greece has implemented austerity measures like spending cuts and tax increases, and the EU/IMF have agreed to a bailout package of up to €110 billion in loans to help Greece pay its debts and restore market confidence. However, the crisis has highlighted issues with fiscal policy and oversight in the eurozone.
Mathematics 09-01212-v2
This document summarizes a study that examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stock market volatility in euro area countries. It uses a GARCH modeling approach with dummy variables to analyze daily returns of 16 stock market indices from January 2016 to December 2020. The results show that euro area markets responded differently to the pandemic, with those having middle-large financial centers more impacted by the first wave, while the second wave mainly impacted Belgium. It also examines time-varying risk premium, leverage effect, and volatility persistence across markets.
Research Paper
The document summarizes the effects of austerity policies implemented in Greece and Spain in response to their sovereign debt crises. It finds that austerity led to rising debt-to-GDP ratios, high unemployment, and increased poverty in both countries. Alternative policies such as fiscal stimulus and social investment were proposed but faced feasibility constraints due to the countries' ties to the Eurozone. The implications extended beyond economic issues to challenges for the European Union itself.
Long Run Drivers of Current Account Imbalances: the role of trade openness
This document summarizes research examining the role of trade openness in long-run current account imbalances in EU countries from 1974-2011. The researchers find that:
1) Real exchange rates are the most important driver of current account balances, but their impact varies significantly depending on a country's trade openness, with less open countries being more sensitive to exchange rate changes.
2) Other determinants like income, credit, and government debt also have heterogeneous effects across countries that can be explained by differences in trade openness and exposure to emerging market competition.
3) Countries with smaller tradable sectors and less trade openness, like southern European nations, were more affected by competitive pressures from emerging markets like
Cmvm risk outlook_1edicao_2012
This document provides a summary of market risks in Portugal as of November 2011. It finds:
1) Volatility in European and Portuguese markets remains high, requiring close monitoring.
2) The Portuguese economy is in recession, government debt is increasing, and credit costs have risen substantially.
3) Sovereign credit risk is increasing in the euro area, as evidenced by widening sovereign CDS spreads and inverted yield curves in Portugal, Ireland, and Greece. Stock markets declined sharply in 2011, especially in Portugal.
Tactical asset allocation view ipi q4 2011
The document discusses several economic and political issues:
1) European authorities have struggled to effectively address the escalating sovereign debt crisis, providing only temporary solutions while the problems get worse.
2) The US debt level has risen significantly due to tax cuts, spending increases, and the financial crisis, reaching nearly 100% of GDP.
3) Emerging markets saw large declines as investors fled to safe havens like US treasuries, though some emerging countries remain attractive long-term investments due to growth and demographics.
4) South Africa faces economic challenges including slowing growth compared to other emerging markets, while political risks also loom over policy and foreign investment.

CASE STUDY 2.1 W. L. Gore and AssociatesHe was ready for anythi.docx
CASE STUDY 2.1: W. L. Gore and Associates
He was ready for anything—or so he thought. Dressed in his finest and armed with an MBA degree fresh off the press, Jack Dougherty walked in for his first day of work at Newark, Delaware–based W. L. Gore and Associates, the global fluoropolymer technology and manufacturing giant that is best known as the maker of Gore-Tex.
But it turned out he wasn’t ready for this: “Why don’t you look around and find something you’d like to do,” founder and CEO Bill Gore said to him after a quick introduction. Although many things have changed over the course of W. L. Gore and Associates’ 50+ years in business, the late Gore stuck to his principles regarding organizational structure (or lack thereof), a legacy he passed down to subsequent generations of management. Gore wasn’t fond of thick layers of formal management, which he believed smothered individual creativity. According to Gore, “A lattice (flat) organization is one that involves direct transactions, self-commitment, natural leadership, and lacks assigned or assumed authority.”
In the 1930s, Gore received a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering and a master’s degree in physical chemistry. During his career, he worked on a team to develop applications for polytetraflurothylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon. Through this experience, Gore discovered a sense of excited commitment, personal fulfillment, and self-direction, which he yearned to share with others. Spending nights tinkering in his own workshop, he did what he had previously thought to be impossible: he created a PTFE-coated ribbon cable. It occurred to Gore that he might be able to start his own business producing his invention, so he left his stable career of 17 years, borrowed money, and drained his savings. Though his friends advised him against taking such a risk, W. L. Gore and Associates was born in January 1958. The basement of the Gore home was the company’s first facility.
Although no longer operating from a family basement (Gore boasts more than $3 billion in annual sales and 9,000 employees in more than 45 facilities worldwide), the sense of informality has stuck. “It absolutely is less efficient upfront,” said Terri Kelly, chief executive of W. L. Gore. (Her title is one of the few at the company.) “[But] once you have the organization behind it . . . the buy-in and the execution happens quickly,” she added.
Structure and Management of Unstructure and Unmanagement
Even as Gore started to grow, the company continued to resist titles and hierarchy. It had no mission statement, no ethics statement, and no conventional structures typical of companies of the same size. The only formal titles were “chief executive” and “secretary-treasurer”—those required by law for corporations. There were also no rules that business units within the company couldn’t create such structures, and so some of them did create their own mission statements and such. Many called Gore’s management style “unmanag.

Income measurements and comparisons
This document summarizes a paper that discusses ways to better measure a country's total income by accounting for factors not captured in official statistics, such as underground economies. It outlines four main issues in income measurement according to the OECD: 1) accounting for illegal activities, 2) measuring depreciation of capital, 3) enabling international GDP comparisons, and 4) accounting for environmental costs. The document then focuses on proposed methods for estimating the size of underground economies using currency demand approaches, adjusting for purchasing power parity in international GDP comparisons, and producing satellite accounts to incorporate environmental impacts.
Final Paper
The document analyzes Greece's debt crisis by comparing it to the US recession of 2007-2009. It finds that Greece's unemployment and GDP per capita were hit harder than the US. While Greece has received bailouts from the EU and IMF totaling over €240 billion, it still faces high unemployment of over 26% in 2014 and reform is needed. The response to the US recession through acts like TARP helped stabilize the economy, while Greece still has progress to make despite recent signs of improvement.
The world in 2016 towards the depression and the totaliarianism
This document discusses the gloomy economic prospects for 2016 according to the OECD, including slow growth in the US, EU, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. It notes that Germany is the only major EU country maintaining positive but low GDP growth. Among BRICS countries, Brazil and Russia face recessions due to falling commodity prices while China is slowing. Three new global trade agreements (TPP, TTIP, TiSA) are being negotiated in secret that threaten democracy and favor transnational corporations in services, which account for most economic activity. The agreements aim to standardize laws around finance, social security and intellectual property in ways that benefit corporations at the expense of social and environmental protections.
Detroit Michigan Bankruptcy and Greece; Comparative Lessons in Economic Manag...
Detroit filed for bankruptcy in 2013 due to a long decline stemming from population loss, high taxes, and loss of manufacturing jobs. The city had a large debt and pension burden, and a shrinking tax base due to population decline. It also faced high levels of crime and underfunded emergency services due to budget cuts. Complex financial deals proved costly for Detroit's already strained finances.

Decomposing the Growth of Portugal: A Case for Increasing Demand, not austeri...Grupo de Economia Política IE-UFRJ
This paper presents an analysis of Portugal's economy from 1999 to 2015, providing an
alternative to explanations that present the situation faced by Southern European
countries after the Great Recession as a matter of excessive expenditure or loss in
competitiveness. Based upon the Sraffian Supermultiplier model, we look at how
demand components evolved along the analyzed period, in a growth accounting setting.
This assessment evidences that insufficient effective (public) demand -- not balance-ofpayments
constraints nor an alleged excess of public expenditure -- is what explains
Portugal's low-to-negative growth rates from 2001 forward. Given the limited
productive structure, a labor market that is not strong enough to guarantee a solid
internal credit expansion and the present institutional setting (which makes fiscal
expenditure an also limited source of effective demand), we conclude that the only way
for Portugal to abandon the low growth path would be a more cooperative fiscal stance

Impact Of Usd Credit Interest Rates, Libor Rates, Net Sales, Turkey’s Tourism...
Tourism sector is mostly important for all potential countries. In this study tourism firms in Turkey were studied aspect of total liabilities as the focus subject during 14 years period in 2001-2014.The firms were quoted in Borsa İstanbul in same years.As a result of two type of panel data analysis/study: total liabilities of analysed companies are in inverse relation with USD loan rates and Libor interest rates. In other words, it was determined that a reduction in USD loan rates and Libor interest rates would reflect positively on total liabilities. According to this, it can be said that companies would prefer to go into debt in case of a reduction in loan and libor interest rates.A positive relation between these companies’―total liabilities‖ amount and ―net sales‖ amount has been determined. The effect of an increase in one of them should be an increase on the other as well.These companies interaction with Turkey's tourism income must be positive, as it is with their net sales.In other words, borrowing decisions of these companies are affected by a reduction in interest rates or Libor rates being low and their net sales amount.

Grexit
This document provides an overview and analysis of the causes of Greece's financial crisis that began in 2009. It discusses several underlying causes such as corruption, an inefficient public sector, a rigid labor market, an uncompetitive economic structure, a progressive tax system, and excessive borrowing. The austerity measures implemented in response are not yielding the intended results and Greece's financial position has significantly deteriorated. The document aims to properly diagnose the causes of the crisis and evaluate the effectiveness of the responses in order to prescribe better options for Greece to resolve its financial challenges.
Greece Crisis
Greece has been experiencing a debt crisis as its budget deficit and debt levels have risen significantly. This was caused by falling tax revenues, increased spending, misreporting of economic statistics, and the effects of the global financial crisis which hurt Greece's major industries of tourism and shipping. To address the crisis, Greece has implemented austerity measures like spending cuts and tax increases, and the EU/IMF have agreed to a bailout package of up to €110 billion in loans to help Greece pay its debts and restore market confidence. However, the crisis has highlighted issues with fiscal policy and oversight in the eurozone.

This document summarizes a study that examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stock market volatility in euro area countries. It uses a GARCH modeling approach with dummy variables to analyze daily returns of 16 stock market indices from January 2016 to December 2020. The results show that euro area markets responded differently to the pandemic, with those having middle-large financial centers more impacted by the first wave, while the second wave mainly impacted Belgium. It also examines time-varying risk premium, leverage effect, and volatility persistence across markets.
Research Paper
The document summarizes the effects of austerity policies implemented in Greece and Spain in response to their sovereign debt crises. It finds that austerity led to rising debt-to-GDP ratios, high unemployment, and increased poverty in both countries. Alternative policies such as fiscal stimulus and social investment were proposed but faced feasibility constraints due to the countries' ties to the Eurozone. The implications extended beyond economic issues to challenges for the European Union itself.
Long Run Drivers of Current Account Imbalances: the role of trade openness
This document summarizes research examining the role of trade openness in long-run current account imbalances in EU countries from 1974-2011. The researchers find that:
1) Real exchange rates are the most important driver of current account balances, but their impact varies significantly depending on a country's trade openness, with less open countries being more sensitive to exchange rate changes.
2) Other determinants like income, credit, and government debt also have heterogeneous effects across countries that can be explained by differences in trade openness and exposure to emerging market competition.
3) Countries with smaller tradable sectors and less trade openness, like southern European nations, were more affected by competitive pressures from emerging markets like

The document discusses several economic and political issues:
1) European authorities have struggled to effectively address the escalating sovereign debt crisis, providing only temporary solutions while the problems get worse.
2) The US debt level has risen significantly due to tax cuts, spending increases, and the financial crisis, reaching nearly 100% of GDP.
3) Emerging markets saw large declines as investors fled to safe havens like US treasuries, though some emerging countries remain attractive long-term investments due to growth and demographics.
4) South Africa faces economic challenges including slowing growth compared to other emerging markets, while political risks also loom over policy and foreign investment.

CASE STUDY 2.1 W. L. Gore and AssociatesHe was ready for anythi.docx
CASE STUDY 2.1: W. L. Gore and Associates
He was ready for anything—or so he thought. Dressed in his finest and armed with an MBA degree fresh off the press, Jack Dougherty walked in for his first day of work at Newark, Delaware–based W. L. Gore and Associates, the global fluoropolymer technology and manufacturing giant that is best known as the maker of Gore-Tex.
But it turned out he wasn’t ready for this: “Why don’t you look around and find something you’d like to do,” founder and CEO Bill Gore said to him after a quick introduction. Although many things have changed over the course of W. L. Gore and Associates’ 50+ years in business, the late Gore stuck to his principles regarding organizational structure (or lack thereof), a legacy he passed down to subsequent generations of management. Gore wasn’t fond of thick layers of formal management, which he believed smothered individual creativity. According to Gore, “A lattice (flat) organization is one that involves direct transactions, self-commitment, natural leadership, and lacks assigned or assumed authority.”
In the 1930s, Gore received a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering and a master’s degree in physical chemistry. During his career, he worked on a team to develop applications for polytetraflurothylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon. Through this experience, Gore discovered a sense of excited commitment, personal fulfillment, and self-direction, which he yearned to share with others. Spending nights tinkering in his own workshop, he did what he had previously thought to be impossible: he created a PTFE-coated ribbon cable. It occurred to Gore that he might be able to start his own business producing his invention, so he left his stable career of 17 years, borrowed money, and drained his savings. Though his friends advised him against taking such a risk, W. L. Gore and Associates was born in January 1958. The basement of the Gore home was the company’s first facility.
Although no longer operating from a family basement (Gore boasts more than $3 billion in annual sales and 9,000 employees in more than 45 facilities worldwide), the sense of informality has stuck. “It absolutely is less efficient upfront,” said Terri Kelly, chief executive of W. L. Gore. (Her title is one of the few at the company.) “[But] once you have the organization behind it . . . the buy-in and the execution happens quickly,” she added.
Structure and Management of Unstructure and Unmanagement
Even as Gore started to grow, the company continued to resist titles and hierarchy. It had no mission statement, no ethics statement, and no conventional structures typical of companies of the same size. The only formal titles were “chief executive” and “secretary-treasurer”—those required by law for corporations. There were also no rules that business units within the company couldn’t create such structures, and so some of them did create their own mission statements and such. Many called Gore’s management style “unmanag.

Case study 1Client ProfileMrs. Harriet is a 68-year-old .docx
Case study 1
Client Profile
Mrs. Harriet is a 68-year-old woman who is alert and oriented. Allergies are Erythromycin. She presents to the emergency department with complaints of chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough, and congestion. She states, "I have been having these symptoms for three days now. I have been taking Maximum Strength Robitussin for my cough but it has not helped very much. When I woke up this morning. I felt very weak so I came in to be checked out." Her vital signs are blood pressure 110/70, pulse 94, respiratory rate of 28, and temperature of 102.7 F. Her oxygen saturation on room air is 92%. She is placed on 2 liters (L) of oxygen by nasal cannula. The HCP prescribes a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG) and chest X-ray (CXR). Laboratory tests prescribed include complete blood count (CBC), basic metabolic panel (BMP), brain natriuretic peptide (B-type natriuretic peptide assay or BNP), total creatine kinase (CK, CPK), creatine kinase-MB (CPK-MB), and troponin. The HCP will also assess blood cultures x 2, AGs on room air, sputum culture and sensitivity (C &S), and asks that the client have a Mantoux (tuberculin, purified protein derivative, or PPD) test.
Case Study
Mrs. Harriet's ECG shows normal sinus rhythm (NSR) with a heart rate of 98 beats per minute. The CXR reveals a right lower lobe(RLL) infiltrate. Laboratory tests include the following results: white blood cell cot (WBC) 12,2000 cells/mm3, 72& seg neutrophils with a left shift of 11% bands, and a BNP of 50.9 pg/mL. ABGs on room air is pH 7.44, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) 39 mmHg, bicarbonate (HCO3) 26.9 mEq/L, partial pressures of oxygen (PaO2) 58 mmHg, and oxygen saturation (SaO2) of 92%. Results of the sputum culture show Streptococcus pneumoniae. The CPK, CPK-MB, and troponin are all within normal limits. Mrs. Harriet is five feet three inches tall and weighs 224 pounds (101.8 kg). On assessment, the nurse hears expiratory wheezes and rhonchi bilaterally with diminished lung sounds in the right base. Her thoracic (chest) expansion is equal but slightly decreased on inspiration. Accessory muscle retraction is not noted, and she does exhibit central cyanosis. The capillary refill of the client's nail beds is four seconds.
Mrs. Harrier is admitted with acute bronchitis and pneumonia. The HCP prescribes oxygen via nasal cannula to keep the client's saturations greater or equal to 95%, Ceftriaxone sodium, Erythromycin, Albuterol, Acetaminophen every four to six hours as needed, bed rest, an 1800 calorie diet, increased oral (PO) fluid intake to 2 to 4 liters per day, coughing and deep breathing exercises and use of the incentive spirometer (IS).

2. Discuss the causes, pathophysiology, and symptoms of acute bronchitis?
3. Discuss the pathophysiology and causes of pneumonia in general?
4. Compare the defining characteri.
Case Study 11.1 Why the Circus No Longer Comes to TownFor 146 y.docx
Case Study 11.1: Why the Circus No Longer Comes to Town
For 146 years, the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus traveled the United States by train, putting on shows featuring acrobats, trapeze artists, clowns, and exotic animals. In 2017, the circus held its last performances after a significant decline in attendance and revenue due to changing public tastes. Shorter attention spans also contributed to its demise. The final blow to the circus came from its decision to eliminate elephant acts. According to a press release from Feld Entertainment, the company that owned the circus, this move led to a “greater than could have been anticipated” decline in ticket sales.1
For decades the American Humane Society, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), and other animal rights groups tried to ban elephant acts in Ringling Brothers performances. Protesters regularly picketed the circus, and for 14 years animal rights groups fought Ringling Brothers in court. Activists claimed that elephant acts were cruel and pointed out that these highly intelligent animals were chained up much of their lives. In 2011, Feld Entertainment was fined $270,000 for violations of the Animal Welfare Act. However, Feld Entertainment successfully fended off the lawsuits, winning a $24 million judgment against the animal rights groups in 2014. Nonetheless, Ringling Brothers agreed to retire all traveling elephants to its Center for Elephant Conservation in Florida that same year. (During this same period, Los Angeles, Oakland, and Asheville, North Carolina, restricted animal acts.)
Animal rights groups cheered the closing of the circus. According to PETA’s president, “PETA heralds the end of what has been the saddest show on earth for wild animals, and asks all other animal circuses to follow suit, as this is a sign of changing times.”2 The CEO of the United States Humane Society said, “I applaud their decision to move away from an institution grounded on inherently inhumane wild animal acts.”3 CEO Kenneth Feld acknowledged that the negative publicity generated by the lawsuits took its toll: “We prevailed in court 100% [but] obviously, in the court of public opinion we didn’t win.”4
Ringling Brothers/Feld Entertainment isn’t the only company that has had to deal with changing societal attitudes toward animals. For decades killer whales were the major attraction at SeaWorld parks in San Diego, Orlando, and San Antonio. However, the death of trainer Dawn Brancheau, who was dragged into the water and drowned by Sea World’s largest breeding male, Tilikum (“Tilly”), galvanized opposition to captive orca programs. The film Blackfish documented the death of Brancheau and whale mistreatment. Matt Damon, Harry Styles, Willie Nelson, and other celebrities joined the protest. Animal activists noted that orcas (which are really large dolphins) never kill humans in the wild. In captivity, young killer whales are separated from their families and are forced to live thei.

Case Study 10.3: Regulating Love at the Office
The office has become a hotbed of romance. In one survey, 60% of employees surveyed reported that they had participated in an office romance during their careers and 64% said they would do so again. And the percentage of workplace romances is likely to climb as younger workers (ages 25 to 34) put in more hours at work. As one human resource writer notes:
Traditional places like church, family events, and leisure time don’t present the same pool of candidates as they did in earlier times. The workplace provides a preselected pool of people who share at least one important area of common ground. People who work together also tend to live within a reasonable dating distance, and they see each other on a daily basis.1
Office romances can pose a number of problems, including a loss of productivity, public displays of affection, gossip, damage to the professional image of the organization, charges of favoritism, and affairs in cases where romantic partners already have spouses or significant others. Serious issues arise when superiors and subordinates date and then break up. The subordinate (often a young female assistant) may claim that she was sexually harassed because she was pressured into having sex to keep her job or that her supervisor (often an older male executive) retaliated when the relationship ended.
The nation was reminded of the dangers of superior–subordinate relationships when former late-night talk show host David Letterman admitted that he’d had a series of sexual relationships with female writers and staffers at his production company. Letterman went public with his affairs after a CBS producer who dated his long-term girlfriend, Stephanie Birkett, tried to extort money from the entertainer in return for keeping silent about his sexual activities. While Letterman’s relationships were consensual, it appeared as if the women he dated received special benefits. For example, Birkitt was featured in broadcast segments even though she did not seem to be particularly talented.
Human resource departments are taking note of the dangers of office romances. The number of companies developing written policies to address office romances rose from 20% to 42% over an eight-year period, according to the Society of Human Resource Management. And the policies grew stricter. Almost all the firms surveyed by SHRM forbid romantic relationships between superiors and subordinates; one-third forbid relationships between those reporting to the same supervisor or with a client or customer; 10% don’t allow romances between their employees and employees of competitors. Punishments range from minimal (relationship counseling and department transfers) to severe (suspension and termination). Executives at the American Red Cross, the World Bank, Walmart, Boeing, and the Harvard Business Review lost their jobs for having relationships with subordinates.
Not everyone is convinced that restrictions on dating are just.

Case Study 1: Is Business Ready for Wearable Computers?
Wearable computing is starting to take off. Smartwatches, smart glasses, smart ID badges, and activity trackers promise to change how we go about each day and the way we do our jobs. According to Gartner Inc., sales of wearables will increase from 275 million units in 2016 to 477 million units by 2020. Although smartwatches such as the Apple Watch and fitness trackers have been successful consumer products, business uses for wearables appear to be advancing more rapidly. A report from research firm Tractica projects that worldwide sales for enterprise wearables will increase exponentially to 66.4 million units by 2021.
Doctors and nurses are using smart eyewear for hands-free access to patients’ medical records. Oil rig workers sport smart helmets to connect with land-based experts, who can view their work remotely and communicate instructions. Warehouse managers are able to capture real-time performance data using a smartwatch to better manage distribution and fulfillment operations. Wearable computing devices improve productivity by delivering information to workers without requiring them to interrupt their tasks, which in turn empowers employees to make more-informed decisions more quickly.
Wearable devices are helping businesses learn more about employees and the everyday workplace than ever before. New insights and information can be uncovered as IoT sensor data is correlated to actual human behavior. Information on task duration and the proximity of one device or employee to another, when combined with demographic data, can shed light on previously unidentified workflow inefficiencies. Technologically sophisticated firms will understand things they never could before about workers and customers; what they do every day, how healthy they are, where they go, and even how well they feel. This obviously has implications for protecting individual privacy, raising potential employee (and customer) fears that businesses are collecting sensitive data about them. Businesses will need to tread carefully.
Global logistics company DHL worked with Ricoh, the imaging and electronics company, and Ubimax, a wearable computing services and solutions company, to implement “vision picking” in its warehouse operations. Location graphics are displayed on smart glasses guiding staffers through the warehouse to both speed the process of finding items and reduce errors. The company says the technology delivered a 25 percent increase in efficiency. Vision picking gives workers locational information about the items they need to retrieve and allows them to automatically scan retrieved items. Future enhancements will enable the system to plot optimal routes through the warehouse, provide pictures of items to be retrieved (a key aid in case an item has been misplaced on the warehouse shelves), and instruct workers on loading carts and pallets more efficiently.

CASE STUDY - THE SOCIAL NETWORKThe growing use of social network.docx
CASE STUDY - THE SOCIAL NETWORK
The growing use of social network sites (such as Facebook) and online communities (such as
for instance the Apple Computer community, the community of Harley-Davidson riders,
and the community of Starbucks customers) provides exciting opportunities for
organizations. Online brand communities allow organizations to engage and interact with
customers, obtain market information, sell and advertise products, rapidly disseminate
information, develop long-term relationships with the community, and eventually to
influence consumers’ preferences and behavior (Dholakia and Bagozzi, 2001, Dholakia,
Bagozzi, and Pearo, 2004, Franke and Shah, 2003, Muniz and Schau, 2005, Tedjamulia, Olsen,
Dean, and Albrecht, 2005). “Brand community” is a term that is used to describe likeminded
consumers who identify with a particular brand and share significant traits, such as
for instance “a shared consciousness, rituals, traditions, and a sense of moral responsibility”
(Muniz and O’Guinn, 2001, p. 412). Online brand communities are based on their core value
- the brand- and grow by building relationships with and among members interested in the
brand (Jang et al. 2008).
There are several possible categorizations of online brand communities, but they are
generally grouped into two categories based on who initiates and manages the community;
(1) company-initiated communities, built by the company that owns the brand and (2) userinitiated
communities, voluntarily built by their members (that is, the consumer) (e.g.,
Armstrong and Hagel 1996; Kozinets 1999). These two types of brand communities provide
different opportunities for marketers. For instance, a brand community on a company
website is one of the key determinants of attracting consumers to and retaining customers
on the website (Nysveen and Pedersen, 2004). Consumer-initiated online brand
communities may provide consumers with useful information about other consumers’
experiences with the product or service and the strengths and weaknesses of products or
services (Jang et al. 2008).
The success of online brand communities is heavily dependent on consumer participation in
the online brand community. To determine why consumers participate in online brand
communities business student Jesse Eisenberg has developed a model based on extant
service marketing literature. The main idea in this literature is that perceived value and
satisfaction are antecedents of the intention to use a product or service (Anderson, Fornell,
and Lehmann 1994; Bolton and Drew 1991; Grönroos 1990; Hocutt 1998; Kang, Lee, and Choi
2007; Ravald and Grönroos 1996). Jesse wants to apply this idea to consumer participation in
online brand communities. According to Jesse, “members will probably be satisfied with an
online brand community and have the intention to participate in the community when they
derive value from the community. Therefore it is important to know which values.
Case Study #1 Probation or PrisonWrite a 12 to one page (.docx
Case Study #1: Probation or Prison?
Write a 1/2 to one page (150–275 words) response in which you answer the three questions that follow the case study below:
You could have been in the same situation yourself. Instead, it is Mary Lee Smith, one of your probationers, who is about to stand before the judge in a probation revocation hearing.
When you and your husband split 10 years ago, you had two children and eventually had to declare bankruptcy and accept food stamps to be able to pay the rent. After seven years working as a secretary at the nearby state juvenile corrections center, receiving constant encouragement from Mrs. Jones, the superintendent, and taking advantage of a criminal justice scholarship program, you finished a degree in administration of justice and qualified for an entry-level position with the community resources division of the state department of corrections. You advanced as the system grew, and now, three years later, you are a probation supervisor in Judge Longworth's court.
In a way, Mary Lee is as much a victim as she is an offender. Married at seventeen, she quit high school and moved west with her husband who was in the army. By the time she was twenty, she had two children and was divorced. With babysitters to pay and skills that would command no more than minimum wage, Mary Lee turned to such income supplements as shoplifting, bad check writing, and occasionally prostitution. Her check-passing skills developed rapidly, and it was not long before she had amassed a series of convictions, not to mention several lesser offenses for petty larceny that were disposed of by the prosecutor's declaration of
nolle prosequi
. To date, Mary Lee has not served a day in prison. Judge Longworth has used admonition, restitution, suspended sentence, and probation to rehabilitate Mary Lee. However, Mary Lee's criminal conduct has persisted, as has her inability to stretch her food stamps, welfare payments, and part-time minimum-wage employment into a satisfactory existence for herself and her children. To complicate the matter, the welfare safety net that had helped keep Mary Lee and her children afloat would cease to exist for her within 24 months.
Judge Longworth has called you into his chambers before the hearing. He read your violation report with interest. You pointed out Mary Lee's family obligations and the imminent possibility that the children would have to be placed in foster homes if she were confined. You also pointed out that she has been faithful in making restitution and that she maintains a steady church relationship and a good home environment for her children. Although your report is fair and accurate, you realize that the judge has sensed your misgivings and uncertainty concerning Mary Lee.
Judge Longworth looks up from your report and comes directly to the point. "Do you really believe this woman deserves to go back into the community? You certainly seem to have found some redeeming features in her cond.
Case Studies of Data Warehousing FailuresFour studies of data .docx
Case Studies of Data Warehousing Failures
Four studies of data warehousing failures are presented. They were written based on interviews with people who were associated with the projects. The extent of the failure varies with the organization, but in all cases, the project was at least a disappointment.
Read the cases and prepare a report that provides a substantive discussion on each of the following:
1. What’s the scope of what can be considered a data warehousing failure?
2. What do you find most interesting in the failure stories?
3. Do they provide any insights about how a failure might be avoided?
Your discussion should be at least 2 pages in length with 1.5” spacing & 1” margins.
Case Study 1: Auto Guys
Auto Guys initiated a data warehousing project four years ago but it never achieved full usage. After initial support for the project eroded, management revisited their motives for the warehouse and decided to restart the project with a few changes. One reason for the restructuring, according to the project manager, was the complexity of the model initially employed by Auto Guys.
At first, the planner for the data warehouse wanted to use a dimensional model for tabular information. But political pressure forced the system’s early use. Consequently, mainframe data was largely replicated and these tables did not work well with the managed query environment tools that were acquired. The number of tables and joins, and subsequent catalog growth, prevented Auto Guys from using data as it was intended in a concise and coherent business format.
The project manager also indicated that the larger the data warehouse, the greater the need for high-level management support – something Auto Guys lacked on their first attempt at setting up the warehouse. Another problem mentioned by the project manager was that the technology Auto Guys chose for the project was relatively new at the time, so it was not accepted and did not garner the confidence that a project using proven technology would have received. This is a risk inherent in any “cutting edge” technology adoption. The initial abandonment of the project was undoubtedly hastened by both corporate discomfort with this new technology and the lack of top management support.
A short time after dropping the project, top management felt pressure to reestablish it. Because Auto Guys initially planned an enterprise-wide warehouse, they had considerable computer capacity. It was put to use on a much smaller project that focused exclusively on a single subject area. Other subject areas were due to be added once the initial subject area project was completed. Auto Guys expects to grow the warehouse to two terebytes within a year or two and eventually expand to their projected enterprise-wide data warehouse. The biggest difference between pre- and post-resurrection will be that the project will evolve incrementally.
Given his experience with the warehouse, the project manager made the following summary .
Case Studies GuidelinesWhat is a Case StudyCase studies.docx
Case Studies Guidelines
What is a Case Study:
Case studies are stories. They are formatted in such a way that at a glance one could easily determine the “issue” about to be discussed. We look to clearly address the who, what, where, when, why and how to ensure that we have covered the story in its entirety. If you miss one of these factors, you leave the reader guessing and questioning your report. In public policy & administration our case studies/stories are required to be fact based. Make sure your research is based on credible information. Verify, verify, verify. Make a mistake and/or be challenged on one of your “facts”, could create a host of issues. If you are found to be incorrect, the entire report is incorrect and your credibility is suspect. Cite your research appropriately.
We call it an issue rather than a “problem” because a problem presents a negative image/connotation. Issues are not necessarily negative and provides the policy analyst with an opportunity to evaluate each issue based on its own merits without taking a position of negative or positive.
What Does a Case Study Look Like:
A case study should set up similar to story-telling.
Do not write this as you would a thesis.
You don’t want to put in a lot of “fluff & stuff”. Think of the reader as a high level administrator whose in-box is full of documents that require review. To catch this administrator’s attention, consider what he/she would be concerned with. The “issue” clearly delineated, then the people involved “stakeholders”, the positions (where one stands depends upon where one sits), of these people/perspectives” of the stakeholders and then a fact based well thought out “recommendation”. Use the first paragraph or two to set the tone for the issue under consideration. Once you have the reader’s attention then you are prepared to move onto your 4-step policy analyses.
Why a 4-Step Policy Analysis:
We use the four-step policy analysis because of its simplicity and its thoroughness. There are plenty of other models, some with seven-steps and others with ten-steps. It is not the number of steps that makes a case study. It is the report itself that stands on merit.
Do not change the language of the 4-steps or add other language, as new headings could change the report and its intent. It is vital that you understand this foundation as it will be used throughout your baccalaureate curriculum. Learning to use this in both your professional and personal lives will help you with your decision making in a variety of ways.
How Do I Begin:
Case studies are complex and may contain a myriad of issues, stakeholders, etc. It is your job to select one issue and then to stay on course as you work through your critical thinking and 4-step policy analysis. Do not say there are “many” issues as this may confuse the reader of leave him/her questioning why you chose one issue over another. Chose one….
How Should the Final Case Study Paper Set Up:

Case Studies Focusing on Fluency StrategiesCase Scenario .docx
Case Studies: Focusing on Fluency Strategies
Case Scenario 1
Student: Mary
Age: 8.6
Grade: 3rd
Mary is a third grader at a small private school. It is the beginning of the second semester of the school year and assessment data show that Mary is still having difficulty with decoding multi-syllable words, as are many of her classmates. The students are struggling with an important reading skill that will be assessed at the end of the school year and will be important for success in the following years. Mr. Bounds, Mary’s teacher, has decided to implement strategies each day that will assist all of his students, Mary included, in reaching the following goal:
Given multi-syllable words, students will decode them accurately and with ease.
Case Scenario 2
Student: Emma
Age: 8.4
Grade: 3rd
Emma is a shy third grader who is struggling in all academic subjects that require significant reading. Assessment data show that Emma is able to read all sight words and decode most of the multi-syllable words she encounters. However, Emma’s fluency is not at the level of most third graders. This might be because Emma appears to have a low self-concept. Emma reads aloud very softly and slowly, often waiting to speak a word until she is sure she can pronounce it correctly. Because Mr. Haywood, her teacher, believes that Emma has the needed skills to improve her fluency, he has decided to implement a strategy that will help Emma reach her goal, which is:
Given reading passages at the third-grade level, Emma will read fluently.
Case Scenario 3
Student: Daniel
Age: 8.8
Grade: 3rd
Daniel is a quiet third grader who is naturally organized and thrives on structure. Daniel’s mother reports that he tends to be focused on tasks, even in play. He is diligent with academic tasks, and especially enjoys hands-on science activities. When reading aloud in class, Daniel is able to read all sight words and decode most multi-syllable words he encounters. However, Daniel’s fluency is not at the level of most third graders. He is a word-by-word reader and does not read with proper tone or expression, but has the skills needed to become a fluent, expressive reader. Daniel’s teacher has decided to implement strategies that will help him reach his goal, which is:
Given readings at the third-grade level, Daniel will read fluently.

Case Number 7. The case of physician do not heal thyself
Questions
1. Have you recently engaged in risky behaviors such as binge eating, unsafe sex, gambling, drug and substance abuse, or risky driving?
1. How would you describe your relationships with people such as your spouse, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and strangers while considering aspects of anger, irritability, and violence?
1. Do you have a recurring problem of variant moods that result to interpersonal stress, feeling of emptiness, and other challenges that are stress-related and they push you towards suicidal thoughts?
People to speak to
It is crucial to identify the right people to provide essential details for the assessment of the patient. Some of the most important people include the spouses, siblings, family friends, personal friends, and neighbors. Furthermore, the patient’s colleagues can provide important information regarding the behaviors of the patient and help in identifying issues that the patient could be hiding. Speaking to the people to whom the patient exercises authority is important in attaining the true image of the person.
Physical exam and diagnostic test
The disorder is mental, but it can be assessed through physical exams that indicate how the brain is working in relation to actions ( Stahl 2013). Fixing a puzzle would be an effective way of testing the patient and how stable they can be. The other approach is engaging the patient in a physical exercise and observing their participation. Physical exams provide a diagnostic insight to test how the patient relates with others.
Diagnoses
Personality Disorder
Mood Disorder
Depression with psychotic features
Pharmacological agents
Application of antidepressants
Use of antipsychotics
Administering mood-stabilizing drugs
Contradictions or Alterations
It is a complex situation to treat a complex and long-term unstable disorder of mood because the patients experience different emotions even during therapy (Yasuda & Huang 2008). It becomes difficult to separate mood disorder from personality disorder especially for difficult patient like in this case. Furthermore, there are no specific drugs that can be used for treatment without additional therapy since this patient is able to adjust or play with their own treatment as a physician. The mental condition observed in the patient requires a careful approach due to the delicate situations involving suicidal thoughts and aggression.
Lessons Learned
In the case study “The case of physician do not heal thyself,” the lessons include the importance of conducting a complete assessment of the patient and including other people who interact with the patient. It would be more effective to treat such conditions if the patients had stable emotions, but strategic approaches can help to streamline the treatment process ( Stahl 2014b).

Case number #10
OVERVIEW
Abstract In this case, a local chapter of a national nonprofit organization continuously struggles with funding and must, therefore, be proactive in seeking out additional revenue sources. The local coordinator encounters a situation involving a potential donor that forces her to weigh the pros and cons of breaking the rules and the best way to communicate her concerns to her superiors and the donor. A chance meeting on a flight leads to a potential conflict-of-interest situation for the local coordinator.
Main Topics Decision making, Ethics
Secondary Topic Communication, Intergovernmental affairs*
Teaching Purpose To discuss the complexities involved in balancing personal and organizational responsibilities within the framework of a nonprofit organization.
The Organization ReadNow is a nonprofit program that promotes early literacy by giving new books to children and advice to parents about the importance of reading aloud in pediatric exam rooms across the nation.

BACKGROUND
In 1962, a group of doctors at a hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, were brain-storming ways to increase early childhood literacy and parent– parent– child interactions among their patients. One doctor had the idea of distributing children's books to their patients during checkups, accompanied by advice to the parents about the importance of reading aloud to their children. From this modest beginning, ReadNow developed into a national, nonprofit organization that distributes books and early literacy guidance to more than 2.5 million children and their families. ReadNow has offices all over the United States and is currently supported in part through a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. ReadNow opened a branch in Crown City, Michigan, in August with a partnership between the National ReadNow and the Johnson Children's Medical Center. One of the founders, Dr. Mark Jeffries, still active within ReadNow, approached Dr. Katie Nelson, a pediatrician at Johnson Hospital with the opportunity to bring ReadNow to Crown City. Dr. Nelson soon had more than thirty pediatric clinics participating in the program and hired a coordinator, Patricia Clay, to manage the day-to-day operations of the Crown City chapter.
As a result of its affiliation with the Johnson Children's Medical Center, ReadNow was fortunate to have its rent, computers, telephones, and office supplies provided by the hospital. Johnson Children's Medical Center agreed to support the office environment of ReadNow, as well as to guarantee the coordinator a stipend of $ 50,000 each year. However, part of Patricia Clay's duties included raising funds to purchase books to distribute in clinics across the metropolitan area and t.

CASE BRIEF 7.2 Tiffany and Company v. Andrew 2012 W.docx
CASE BRIEF 7.2
Tiffany and Company v. Andrew
2012 WL 5451259 (S.D.N.Y.)
FACTS: Tiffany (plaintiffs) allege that Andrew and others (defendants) sold counterfeit Tiffany
products through several websites hosted in the United States. Andrew accepted payment in U.S.
dollars, used PayPal, Inc. to process customers' credit card transactions, then transferred the sales
proceeds to accounts held by the Bank of China (“BOC”), Industrial and Commercial Bank of
China (“ICBC”), and China Merchants Bank (“CMB”) (“Banks”).
Andrew defaulted on the suit, and Tiffany sought discovery from the Banks by serving subpoenas
seeking the identities of the holders of the accounts into which the proceeds of the counterfeit sales
were transferred and the subsequent disposition of those proceeds. The Banks involved all
maintained branch offices in the Southern District of New York, and the subpoenas were served
on those branch offices.
The Banks responded to the subpoenas by explaining that the information sought was all
maintained in China and that the New York branches of the Banks lacked the ability to access the
requested information. China's internal laws prohibited the disclosure of the information except
under certain conditions. The Banks proposed that the plaintiffs pursue the requested discovery
pursuant to the Hague Convention.
The court concluded that Tiffany should pursue discovery through the Hague Convention. Tiffany
submitted its Hague Convention application to China's Central Authority in November 2010, and
on August 7, 2011, the Ministry of Justice of the People's Republic of China (“MOJ”) responded
by producing some of the documents requested. For each of the Banks, the MOJ produced account
opening documents (including the government identification card of the account holder), written
confirmation of certain transfers into the accounts and a list of transfers out of the accounts. With
respect to CMB, the records indicate that all funds in the account were withdrawn through cash
transactions at either an ATM or through a teller. BOC and CMB each produced documents
concerning a single account; ICBC produced documents for three accounts.
In its cover letter, the MOJ noted that it was not producing all documents requested. Specifically,
the letter stated, “Concerning your request for taking of evidence for the Tiffany case, the Chinese
competent authority holds that some evidence required lacks direct and close connections with the
litigation. As the Chinese government has declared at its accession to the Hague Evidence
Convention that for the request issued for the purpose of the pre-trial discovery of documents only
the request for obtaining discovery of the documents clearly enumerated in the Letters of Request
and of direct and close connection with the subject matter of the litigation will be executed, the
Chinese competent authority has partly executed the requests which it d.

CASE 5
Business Performance Evaluation: Approaches for Thoughtful Forecasting
Every day, fortunes are won and lost on the backs of business performance assessments and forecasts. Because of the uncertainty surrounding business performance, the man-ager should appreciate that forecasting is not the same as fortune-telling; unanticipated events have a way of making certain that specific forecasts are never exactly correct. This note purports, however, that thoughtful forecasts greatly aid managers in under-standing the implications of various outcomes (including the most probable outcome) and identify the key bets associated with a forecast. Such forecasts provide the manager with an appreciation of the odds of business success. This note examines principles in the art and science of thoughtful financial fore-casting for the business manager. In particular, it reviews the importance of (1) under-standing the financial relationships of a business enterprise, (2) grounding business forecasts in the reality of the industry and macroenvironment, (3) modeling a forecast that embeds the implications of business strategy, and (4) recognizing the potential for cognitive bias in the forecasting process. The note closes with a detailed example of financial forecasting based on the example of the Swiss food and nutrition com-pany Nestle.
Understanding the Financial Relationships of the Business Enterprise
Financial statements provide information on the financial activities of an enterprise. Much like the performance statistics from an athletic contest, financial statements provide an array of identifying data on various historical strengths and weaknesses
