... These conditions were characteristic of the past. As the benefits of debt are well known in finance theory (tax shields, signaling etc.), the lack of independence and efficiency in decision making borne by Japanese managers seem to be the costs. The result for some firms has been a reduction in debt levels to those more resembling U.S. companies. The questions now have become: What is the optimal debt level for a Japanese firm? Should firms still be taking advantage of the benefits of their keiretsu relationship that have allowed them to take on such levels of debt? Our analysis focuses on Mitsubishi Corporation, a core conglomerate that is part of the larger Mit ...

... if you are sitting in the stands you can reach over the wall and catch the ball before the players can. This new rule was first tried out at a New York versus Baltimore Orioles game, when New York was at bat and they needed a home run to win. The batter hit the ball not far enough to the wall and when the out fielder was going to catch it a kid reached over the wall and caught the ball. This would be usually ruled no home run but the umpire said it was OK. New York went on to win the next game to advance to the World Series. The fans in New York made the little boy a hero for a day and loved him for what he did but most of the other baseball fans all over the co ...

... of the individuals had been arrested the day before and were then being arraigned on the following day, which goes with our notion of a fair and speedy trail. The crimes which I saw ranged from driving without a license to drug offenses, which seemed to be the crime of choice for the day. The assistant District Attorney had the task of presenting evidence against each and every individual as if it were their personal case, which I found to be straining. The action taken by the judge varied on every case, some defendants were jailed for seven days after they plead guilty, some were released ROR, pending a future court date, and others were jailed after bai ...

... response to the masked question, “What is God?” Can one perceive or confirm the existence of an idea that is external to him, an idea such as God? In order to determine the answer we must start by understanding the ways in which we can conclude an objects’ existence. Descartes explains three ways in which a person might come to such a conclusion – the first, through nature; the second, through feeling a value that is independent of the will of the object; and the third, the objective reality of an idea, or the “cause and effect profile.” The third point is the one that we will primarily spend our time with. Descartes drills ...

... “Included in the compromise were funds budgeted specifically for catching fugitive slaves and prosecuting anyone lending assistance in the effort” (Kevin Holloway, The Fugitive Slave Act and the Compromise of 1850). With specific funds that were directed in catching fugitive slaves, white bounty hunters could freely raid the North and search for fugitive slaves. These brutal hunters could now abduct any Black person left alone. Many Blacks that were never in bondage were kidnapped and taken to the South to be slaves. This legislation limited the rights of African Americans and enabled the white populous to oppress African Americans. The bell curve approache ...

... question, well actually a lot of people to try formulate an accurate enough answer. All the people I talk to gave me answer but all the answers were different depending on gender race and financial status. For the guys that I talked to the point to life is to get laid as much as possible, to smoke up, or take make a lot of money. Well I have to admit that when I was younger and not as mature sex and getting high were always on mind. Now all that?s on my constantly active mind is love and because of my Jewish heritage how to make as much money as possible in the shortest amount of time. I think that think that the overall point to life is to experience emotions. ...

... different ways. It can mean that classifications and judgements are personal decisions, or it can be seen as in knowing the individuals classification of something we are able to classify that individual. In this final part I will argue the ambiguity of the question. ? When we pass banana milkshake over our tongues, special receptors inform our brain that something in our mouth is sweet and tasty. What makes one thing taste nicer than the other is an unanswerable question. However this is only one version of taste. What I am interested in is why someone finds a Monet more pleasing to the eye than a poster of a super model, or not. Fashion could make us like s ...

... of the manager. With human relations, the manager’s primary concern is reducing employee resistance to authority with the satisfaction of the employee’s basic needs to feel accomplishment and belonging in the company; secondary is the performance and added benefits the employee may be able to contribute once morale is increased. On the other hand, managers who practices human resources look to empower their employees by encouraging them to take initiative and reach goals by their own capabilities and resources. With the sense of self-accomplishment gained by doing this, it is then that employee morale will be raised. Not only will the employee’s presence truly m ...

... of the Chicago Tribune Colonel Robert R. McCormick. He was born on July 30, 1880 in Chicago. He worked as the head of Streets and Sanitation Department from 1905-1910, and in 1911 he became president of the Tribune. He worked there until he was called into action for World War One where he served in the first infantry; directly under the command of John J. Pershing. When he returned home to Chicago, Robert became somewhat of an entrepreneur ("Exhibition Center Hailed…"). In the late 1940's, McCormick recognized the need for a permanent convention center in the city. He began the campaign for this exhibition hall that would eventually bear his name. Sadly, ...
