The Relationship Between Corporate Governance And Performance
LITERATURE ABSTRACTS
1. This article focuses on the Gompers, Ishii, and Metrick (GIM, 2003) study which found that strong
shareholder rights lead to higher stock price returns and thus value. This is a great indicator that good
governance has a direct effect on the performance of the firm. The article finds the correlation of
corporate governance and the positive impact it has on the firm, management, and shareholders.
However the article provides a subjective view, is good governance the correct metric of evaluation.
The primary finding of the article is a comprehensive and economic analysis defending the relation
between corporate governance and performance. This article examines the inter relationships among

Yermack, 1996). This article argues against the findings of Jensen (1993) and Lipton and Lorsch
(1992), which stated that larger boards have a negative effect on firm value; in fact the study suggests
that having a large diverse board enables the firm to have more experience and expertise to contribute
to firm value and boost firm performance.
3. This article notes advocates for shareholders have requested that corporations have smaller board
sizes with more outside representation. Despite the importance of corporate boards and the call to
action for them to reform, economists have not been able to conclude what drives the composition and
size of boards. This study was based on three non mutually exclusive testable hypotheses. Overall the
article, came to a conclusion that board size/composition vary across all firms and remains
unexplained. Firms that issue IPO start off with small board sizes and add .13 members every year for
the first 10 years. Board of firms issuing IPO s usually are comprised of 56% outside members and 44
inside members. This study identified the following characteristics within them: larger firms have
seasoned and diverse independent boards and firms in which managers have substantial influence have
less independent boards.

The Positivity of Year-Round Schools Essay
Do you ever wonder why the kids cause so much chaos during vacation? Well they have too much
time on their hands and not enough supervision. Back when we lived in a basic economy, summer
vacation made sense because academic achievement mattered less. An absence of air conditioning or
modern hygiene turned crowded schools into health risks, and children had moms who were home
every day. Times have changed now, so we have no need for summer vacation. Year Round schools
would be successful because GPAs will rise and graduation rates will increase also children would
have a safe place to go

Allocated school and class time, instructional time, and academic learning time. Allocated school and
class time are hours of non instructional activities. Instructional time should be devoted to formal
instruction and learning, but not with poor teaching inattention. Lastly, is academic learning time
when the students are actually learning. The important and obvious distinction makes in clear why and
extended time proposal must focus on providing the kind of time such as instructional and academic
time, rather than just adding hours in general. Extending and improving the use of instructional time
could undoubtedly benefit all students. But studies suggest that extended time may matter more for
some students than others. Poor and minority students are less likely than their more affluent peers
that benefit from resources out of school. Evidence from the beginning school study (BBS), a long
study that began in 1982 by sociologists Doris Entwisle and Karl Alexander, shows that lower income
lose ground to higher income children over time because of what researches call summer learning
loss.
Some strategies for extending learning is more beneficial than others. Most calculations suggest that a
10% increase in time would require a 6% to 7% increase in cost. Cost calculations are based largely
on increased school staffing, but often do not consider other costs such as those for additional building
maintenance, electric, telephone, etc. The recent Massachusetts plan, which

A Comparison of Greek and Norse Mythology Essay
Hundreds of years ago people did not have the technology to explain different forces of nature. They
created gods, each with separate powers, to rule their domains. Some of the gods were merciful, some
were wicked, and others were merely servants of more powerful gods. Looking at the gods, it is easy
to tell what the civilization most valued. I am going to look at the Greek and the Norse gods to
compare what was most important to their societies.
Both cultures had a king of the gods. In Greek mythology there is no god who is more powerful than
Zeus. He is the youngest son of Cronus and Rhea, ruler of the Titans. Cronus was told that one of his
children would overthrow him, taking control of his kingdom. To ... Show more content on

Odin only has one eye; it blazes like the sun. He gave his other eye for a drink from the Well of
Wisdom. Odin has a spear, Gungnir, that never misses its target. He owns an eight legged horse,
Sleipnir, two wolves, Geri and Freki, and two raven, Huginn and Muninn. Wednesday is named after
him (pantheon/odin).
The main similarity between these two is that they are the king of the gods. Another is that they both
value wisdom. Zeus is more focused on law, Odin s focus is on war.
Hades is one of the brothers of Zeus. He is the unlucky one who got to rule the underworld. He is
cruel and unforgiving. Only two have ever gone to Hades domain and returned, Hercules and
Odysseus. Hades fell in love with Zeus s daughter and devised a plan to abduct her. With Zeus s help
they succeeded in the capture of Persephone. Her mother Demeter was so enraged she cursed the
Earth. She continued the curse even after she was released. It was only after her mother Rhea was
allowed to see her that she let the Earth prosper (message).
In Norse mythology, Hel is know as the queen goddess of the underworld. She was raised on Asgard
but later she was given the underworld to rule. She decides the fate of those who die, the ones who die
in battle are allowed to go to Valhalla, and all others go to Hel s domain. She was born with her

My Leadership Reflection Paper
Glimpses of Me
The following is a self reflection of my leadership style and the experiences in my careers that have
led me to a Captain with the Henderson Police Department. The intent is to provide the reader with
some insight into why I am the person that I am and what I need to do to improve myself and in turn

I was born in May of 1968 in San Diego, California. I was the first of what would eventually become
3 children. My parents divorced when I was five and I spent my early years with my mother and sister,

There was not much in the way of mentoring or assistance in guiding my career, but being new and
wanting to please, I worked hard and did what I was asked, even if I did not like the way it was asked.
In 1995 the department decided that it needed a Crime Prevention Unit and I was selected to design
and implement this unit. They failed to mention that I was the unit and would be doing it by myself.
Based on the success I had in the Crime Prevention Unit, I was asked to create a Crime Analysis Unit
and then asked to implement Computer Forensics into our Investigations Bureau. During all of these
assignments, I worked as an individual and answered to a supervisor, who was uninvolved as long as I
did not cause them issues up the chain and obtained results.
The problem with this was that I learned to depend on no one and developed patterns that prevented
me from learning how to deal with and in turn lead others. If a project missed a deadline it was my
fault. I had the timelines, the due dates, and where the project was in my head at all times. There was
no need to determine how vacations, sick leave or any other scheduling issue would interfere with the
completion of a project. I never had to learn how to ask another person to pick up the pace, provide a
status check, handle additional workload, etc. Basically, I was a one man show, which as I moved up
the ranks of my department, turned into a weakness as I had not developed those interpersonal

Idolatry In Silas Marner
According to Merriam Webster, idolatry is the immoderate attachment or devotion to something (
Idolatry ). Some readers argue that Silas s devotion to Eppie is just another form of idolatry that
otherwise would have been manifested in the worshipping of his money. The novel, Silas Marner,
however, indicates that Silas s love for Eppie is a fatherly one, instead of an idolatrous one. Silas
progresses from the superficial idolatry of money to sincere love for Eppie as his interactions with the
money involve absolute possession, excessive worshipping, and irrational dependence, none of which
is seen in Silas after his adoption of Eppie; he cares for Eppie as a father, not an idolator.
Silas s absolute possession of his gold is characterized by the concealment of it. The underground
chamber, in which Silas hides his money, can be interpreted as the metaphorical representation of the
wickedness in his heart, which is invested with the the parasitic greed for more money. Upon realizing
the disappearance of his gold, Silas goes into a frantic episode when he gave a wild ringing scream
(Eliot 44), for the only idol that fills the void in which social relationship ought to have occupied, is no
longer there to numb the pain from solitude. The hoard of gold is Silas s only companion, and was
hidden away from daylight, was deaf to the song of birds, and started to no human tones (Eliot 132

Justify Capital Punishment
Is capital punishment justice? Capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, remains to be one
of the most hotly debated issues in the justice system. This subject contains large gray areas
concerning many aspects of what is we consider modern justice. Many wonder if such a punishment
should be allowed in our modern society. The argument of this paper is to convince others that capital
punishment and all that it entails is a practical and just form of delivering justice, providing both
secular and religious explanations as to why the death penalty is just.
Since, many citizens comment that this form of delivering justice is just. The other side fires back with

CHAPTER ONE 1. BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY Social influence is defined as a change in an
individual s thoughts, feelings, attitudes, or behaviors that results from interaction with another
individual or a group of people . Social influence is distinct from conformity, power, and authority.
French and Raven (1959) provided an early formalization of the concept of social influence in their
discussion of the bases of social power. For French and Raven, agents of change included not just
individuals and groups, but also norms and roles. They viewed social influence as the outcome of the
exertion of social power from one of five bases: reward power, coercive power, legitimate power,
expert power, or referent power. A change in reported ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

much television they cannot help but be influenced by it; and want what they see. These children
become so obsessed with having what they see on television that they continue to hassle their parents

College Education Worth The Cost
College Education Worth the Cost
What you guys think does College Education Worth the Cost? In the article The Wall Street Journal
edited by Riley, she said that a college education does not worth the cost. Again, she claims that most
of the colleges are doing their business, they did not care about the student (Riley). Those types of
colleges have lack serious core curriculum, they did not know their responsibility towards the student.
Moreover, I will not support the Riley argument because I am going to support the article college is
still worth the expenses, written by Justin Draeger. College education worth the cost from different
ways. All college student does not have same aims to attain college. After high school some students
have no any ideas what to do next. Those students just attain college, make friends and get some idea
from them than only they decided what to do in life. Some of them continue college education and
some of them find another field in which they are interested than only they start their journey. In this
research essay I am going to argue college education worth the cost in several ways such as: Earning a
college degree is all about opening up opportunities in life, being educated person, and getting better
career opportunities. College worth the cost because earning a college degree open up opportunities in

Narrative Analysis Of A Crush On Chaos
Plot development for my narrative: A Crush on Chaos? Ew No!
Exposition: My nana dropped me and brother off a little ways from our school so that we weren t
sitting in traffic. I went to Coffee Bean with some friends and my brother went who knows where!
When we were walking to Walker Junior High School, I saw my brother about to cross the street to go
to Kennedy High School. I told my friends that I would be right back. They left and I yelled out to my
brother. That is the part in my narrative that represents the exposition. The setting is the Kennedy,
Walker, and Coffee Bean area. The characters, well, the main characters, are shown as being me, Bella
Palmer, as well as my brother, Lucky Palmer.
Rising Action: Lucky! Hey! What are you doing? I said being as curious as ever.
Lucky did a half jog like thing and made his way over to me. He put me in a headlock and told me he
was going to come with me to Walker. When we got in, he said that he wanted to see Mrs. Green. We
went to her classroom and she was happy to see him.
Hi Lucky! How is High School?
Hi Mrs. Green. It is good. How is my sister in class? A lot better than me huh?
She is very good in class. Hm She may be my favorite Palmer! she said with a smirk.
See Lucky? I m a lot better than you! I said giggling.
We said bye to Mrs. Green and Lucky started to head back to his school. I used to always talk about
Lucky to my first period teacher, Mr. Kyle, and he wanted to meet the ever so famous Lucky . So I
took the opportunity and knew that he wouldn t willingly go meet him. So, I took his backpack and
darted toward Mr. Kyle s old classroom. I looked through the window but he wasn t there. When my
brother caught up to me, I surrendered and gave his back pack back.
My brother started to go to Kennedy again so I decided that it was my turn to go to his school. As we
were walking, I was thinking of ways to embarrass him without completely humiliating myself.
Hm should I just be quiet but follow him around? No because then it wouldn t be really embarrassing.
Maybe I should hold onto his arm with one hand, point to him with the other, while yelling out that I
know him and that he is my brother. Maybe not, we would just get dirty looks.

Low interest rates and large inflows of foreign funds created easy credit conditions. Subprime lending
contribute to increase the housing demand.This fueled rising house prices.This housing bubble
resulted in quite a few homeowners refinancing their homes at lower interest rates. This led to a
building boom. Easy credit encouraged borrowers to obtain ARM. If borrowers could not make the
payments ,they would try to refinance. Refinancing became more difficult, when house prices began

Ⅱ Explain how the subprime crisis of the US spreads to the whole world?
The subprime mortgage crisis is an ongoing financial crisis triggered by a dramatic rise in mortgage
delinquencies and foreclosures in the United States, with major adverse consequences for banks and
financial markets around the globe. Apart from the fact that banks based in other parts of the world
also suffered losses from the subprime market, there are two major ways in which the effect is felt
across the globe.
First, the US is the biggest borrower in the world since most countries hold their foreign exchange
reserves in dollars and invest them in US securities. Thus, any crisis in the US has a direct bearing on
other countries, particularly those with large reserves like Japan, China and so on.
Also, since global equity markets are closely interlinked through institutional investors, financial crisis
affecting these investors sees a contagion effect throughout the world. The panic psychology takes
over and a large number of people cash in their chips. This disturbs global financial market further.
For emerging market countries, in the first place, the crisis derived from the setback in exports of

The Negative Impacts Of Globalization
The Negative Impacts of Globalization
Across the world, globalization is one of the most significant aspects that has occurred over the last
fifty years. It allows a country to integrate economically with other countries through a global network
comprised of people, trade, and transportation. With the global landscape only becoming more
intertwined, globalization and its inherent pros and cons seem to be here to stay. In many areas, global
powers tend to lack in rectifying the negative aspects and only focus on the positive side. America, for
example, is a leader in the globalization efforts, even though it has greatly effected job opportunities at
home, widening income gaps, and an increased standard of living due to fluctuating world markets.
America has been involved in globalization since before its conception as colonist relied heavily on
trade. Osland states that even, during the 15th century, voyages were made by explorers who were
funded by the European monarchs to seek new trade routes (Osland 137). The colonist eventually
began trading with natives as they bartered for spices and treasures in exchange for anything that the
natives deemed of use. Eventually, trade companies were established to control the flow of more
products and it only expanded from there. After World War 2, world banks were created to help with
the post war clean up and the global markets began to gain power as trade became a priority for most
countries.

Wipro, the third largest player in the Indian Information Technology (IT) industry, had traditionally
focused on investment banking in the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) vertical, and
on the telecom sector. Both these segments had reportedly taken a beating in recent years.
While the investment banking segment had reported muted growth, the fact that clients in the
telecommunications sector, especially in Europe, were reducing their technology spend had also
negatively impacted Wipro s performance. In addition to this, the company s dual CEO structure
adopted in April 2008 did not yield the expected results. This, according to analysts, was because the
two CEOs Girish Paranjpe (Paranjpe) and Suresh Vaswani (Vaswani) did not focus on key segments
that helped Indian IT companies recover growth post the global financial crisis 10.
Thus, Wipro lagged behind its peers such as TCS and Infosys.
To arrest the decline in sales and profitability, Wipro s founder and executive chairman, Azim
Hasham Premji (Premji), scrapped the dual CEO structure in January 2011, to make way for company
veteran and head of the Eco Energy Business, TK Kurien (Kurien), to take over. In a bid to turn
around the company, Kurien restructured the organization to make it nimbler and focused on key
segments such as the BFSI and consulting to chase growth. Moreover, the single CEO model was also

many of the EPA agents are faced with decisions/ life threatening situations that are affected due to

colombia Essay examples
Violence in modern Colombia takes place in many forms. The three major categories are crime,
guerrilla activities, and attacks committed by drug traffickers. Violence has become so widespread and
common in Colombia that many people have now become numb to it. The Colombian economy has
also benefited from the illicit drug trade; however violent it may be. During the 1970s, Colombia
became well known, as one of the world s most important drug processing, production, and
distribution centers for marijuana and cocaine.
The shrubs and plants from which both drugs are derived from and processed has been well known in
Colombia for centuries, but until the 1970s drug refiners and traffickers had not taken full advantage.

During this time, the levels of violence were lower than many European and American Countries.
Colombia has gained international fame as one of the major centers in the world for drug trafficking.
Anytime a country has a problem with drug trafficking, crime is always high.
In 1973, homicide was the seventh highest cause from death, but since has become the first since
1990. More than 165,000 have had a violent death between 1980 and 1990. During this decade, the
homicide rate was 77.5% per 100,000 people. In comparison, the United States has been regarded as a
violent country, but yet the homicide rate was only 8.0%. Contributing to this violence in Colombia is
the possession of firearms. Colombians possess more than three million firearms, and more than half
is possessed illegally.
This adds greatly to the crime and violence in Colombia (Posada Carbo). It is extremely difficult to
measure the magnitude, type, and location of violence in Colombia. Another problem in measuring the
amount of violence is that not all violent cases are reported. It must also be noted that any media
report of violence must also be read with caution; for it may or may not have occurred.

The Standards And Frameworks Of International And National...
There are international and national standards and frameworks for assuring non financial or

The Cost Of Health Care
The cost of health explains almost half of the budgets of the state from financing the Medicaid
program to providing health care for the employees of the state and other less qualified population like
the prisoners (Vanderbeaux, 2014). In America, thousands upon thousands of decisions concerning
health care are made by State legislatures every year (Vanderbeaux, 2014). Some of those decisions
involve how best to provide appropriate care more efficiently, and deciding on what age group of
patients needs to be immunized (Vanderbeaux, 2014). Other decisions include the ability to give
license to health professionals, facilities, and the ability to accept or refuse the proposals that will help
to keep the population healthy. The State legislatures have deliberated on at least three thousand bills
of which more than five hundred of those bills have been approved and signed into law. In the year
2014 alone, almost one thousand two hundred bills have been deliberated on and so far two hundred
and thirty five of those bills have been accepted and signed into law as of January 2015. Financing

Development. Our textbook states the following about the storming phase of Tuckman s Stages of
Group Development, Individuals test the leader s policies and assumptions as they determine how they

leaders to maintain control of the group.
Group Leadership
During the storming phase is where the group members will experience conflict over process or
progress. It is the responsibility of group leaders to maintain a positive climate for the group to
flourish. When confrontation arises leadership should not shy away, and maintain a positive
environment, There is confrontation from the team leader and team members isolate themselves from
the activities of the team (Ryan, 2014, p. 52). Additionally, group leadership should be fair and
impartial as the team develops. Leaders, should weigh facts versus opinions. You may find within a

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the network layer protocol which is the best known example of network
layer and every machine consists of its own IP address. It manages the connectionless transfer of data
one hop at a time, from end system to ingress router, to router to router, and from egress router to
destination end system. It is not responsible for reliable delivery to a next hop, but only for the
detection of eroded packets so they may be removed.
Connection model:
The OSI Network Layer protocol can be either connection oriented, or connectionless. In general, the
TCP/IP Internet Layer supports only the connectionless Internet Protocol (IP).
Message forwarding: This is the most important function of network layer. Since many networks are
partitioned into sub networks and connect to other networks for wide area communications, networks
use specialized hosts, called gateways or routers to forward packets between networks.
Datagram Encapsulation:
Network layer performs encapsulation of messages received from higher layers by placing them into
datagrams which are also referred to as packets with a network layer header.

Traditional Society And New Colonial Society Essay
In many of the books we read traditional society and new colonial society clashed when brought
together. Most of the time the colonial society overtook the traditional beliefs and forced the
populations to convert to European ideals. This often manifested within religious practices. When
people were made to give up thousands of years worth of customs they did not willingly convert. This
often hostile takeover then isolated people from each other and made peace difficult to achieve. In
both Things Fall Apart and The Wine of Astonishment a colonial power comes into a culture and tears
it apart. By outlawing common practices many people held dear to their hearts, the new governments
hurt the population more than helped. For a short time people would accept the new ways and try to
comply with the new restrictions on their culture. As more and more restrictions were added people
stopped following the new traditions and went back to their lives. This led to governments terrorizing
citizens and made people not trust those with power. Forced modernization was bad for the native
people of Africa and the Caribbean. A common way that modern and traditional culture clashed was in
religion. When it comes to converting people to Christianity, missionaries try to reform the area they

Creationists support their ideas arguing that the living beings are so complex that they must have been
created by a higher being. Furthermore, the lack of clarity and failures found in others theories are
what most support Creationism. For example, some variations within a specie which are used as an
argument to prove evolutionists theories are sometimes also used by creationists as an argument to
contradict Evolutionism. According to creationists, variation in individuals characteristics within a
specie is possible and called microevolution, but these variations are never big enough to originate
another specie. What has never been scientifically demonstrated in spite of many examples of wishful

The Man That Was Used Up By Edgar Allan Poe
The concept of a man machine mixture was widespread in science fiction before World War II. As
early as 1843, Edgar Allan Poe described a man with extensive prostheses in the short story The Man
That Was Used Up . In 1911, Jean de la Hire introduced the Nyctalope, a science fiction hero who was
perhaps the first literary cyborg, in Le Mystère des XV (later translated as The Nyctalope on Mars).[7]
[8][9] Edmond Hamilton presented space explorers with a mixture of organic and machine parts in his
novel The Comet Doom in 1928. He later featured the talking, living brain of an old scientist, Simon
Wright, floating around in a transparent case, in all the adventures of his famous hero, Captain Future.
He uses the term explicitly in the 1962 short story, After a Judgment Day, to describe the mechanical
analogs called Charlies, explaining that [c]yborgs, they had been called from the first one in the

Legally, fathers are responsible for providing prenatal support for their preborn child, but have no
legal rights if the mother decides to terminate the life of that child. Many fathers have gone to court to
try to stop mothers from going through with their abortions. However, according to the courts, when it

We know that the baby has a completely different circulatory system than the mother, and often a
different blood type. He or she has a completely different genetic code. We know that by the 21st day
after conception the baby s heart has begun to beat (Tanner 64). Brain waves are detectable by day 40
(Hamlin 20), and movement also begins around this time (Arey). By eight weeks, when a woman
generally discovers she s pregnant, all body systems are present (Hooker). One doctor, operating on an
ectopic pregnancy at eight weeks, discovered an extremely alive, perfectly developed little person,
vigorously swimming in his environment with a natural swimmer s stroke. (Rockwell 11) The preborn
child is unmistakably human, unmistakably alive, and unmistakably distinct from the mother.
Does the baby feel pain in an abortion? The pain mechanism has been found to be functioning in the
preborn child as early as 45 days after conception. Abortion does cause pain (Noonan 213, Reinis 223
