Abstract This paper relates that, in this article, Sami and Bae define the environment that a company needs to create a strong sense of responsibility and profitability for the long-term production. The author points out that this article reflects a growing concern for accounting practices to induce more environmental disclosures for modern corporations. The paper relates that, by finding all available expenses and liabilities within the infrastructure of financial management practices, there can be a greater degree of ethics and long-term profitability for accounting in the future.
From the Paper "This article presents a detailed evaluation of the environmental aspects of accounting that must taken into calculations when understanding value and expenses of corporate finances. In this manner, Bae and Sami present findings of the EPA to help business owners and accountants understand how and why environmental standards are important to expenditures and cost values. The basis for this information begins with a cases study they performed through the EPA, which presents an N-probit analysis, which confirms that companies with a high environmental set of costs are more likely to disclose their environmental issues that surround their business."
Analyzes a 1989 movie "Why Bodhidharma has Left for the East: A Zen Fable" ("Dharmaga tongjoguro kan kkadalgun"), written and directed by Yong-Kyun Bae.
Abstract This paper explains that "Why Bodhidharma has Left for the East: A Zen Fable", written and directed by Yong-Kyun Bae, is a very profound artistic description of both inner beliefs and individual approaches to enlightenment and, externally, of the relationships formed between individuals. The author describes the ways this internal vs. external framework is playing throughout the movie by emphasizing different perspectives, which underscore some of the essential characteristics of the three characters, especially the Zen master Hyegok. The "Ten Bulls" pictures of the Zen tradition, which reflect the steps in the path to enlightenment, the paper relates, are a good fit with the stages each of the characters in the movie achieve.
From the Paper "On the other hand, Hae Jin has accidentally killed a bird at some point. While this may seem as a reasonably unimportant fact, in the Buddhist mythology, because of the constant reincarnation process, killing a bird may mean killing a human soul who has reincarnated in the bird. It is small, real elements like this that keep the characters' human consciousness alert and unable to yet make the final step towards enlightenment with a final departing from the real world. "

From the Paper "Sir Thomas More, also known as Saint Thomas More (because of sanctification by the Catholic Church) is probably best known for his confrontation with King Henry VIII, for which he lost his life. He was a statesman as well as a political and social philosopher. His most famous work is his Utopia, a book in which he created his version of a perfect society and gave his name to such conceptions ever after as "utopias." The film A Man for All Seasons (1966, Fred Zinnemann) recounts the story of More's refusal to change the law to allow King Henry VIII to divorce. The essence of the film is true to history, but there are elements in the film which are not.
The law and the Church clashed under Henry VII, who had a sense of himself as absolute monarch, able to do whatever he wanted in order to accomplish what he desired. When the laws ..."
Abstract This paper outlines the business strategy of Airbus that has allowed it to become the successful aircraft business that it is today. The paper points to Airbus's focus on international customer support, the development of a corporate culture, and its focus on technological developments as the main reasons for its competitive edge and success in the aircraft engineering market.

Strategic Analysis and Expansion Opportunities
Conclusion
From the Paper "Airbus entered the aircraft engineering market approximately 30 years ago. Their first aircraft was the A300 wide-bodied airliner, with the capacity for 226 passengers, being the first to offer exactly the facilities stipulated by the airlines. Within the market of annual profits exceeding $527 million in 2000, out of which 72% came directly form passenger flight revenues, such an innovation had provided to be extensively demanded. As a consequence, the newly developing company had benefited from tremendous growth over a significant period of time, where by in year 2003, Airbus had a turnover of 19.3 Billion Euros."

Abstract This paper examines how the future for regional jet service in the United States and abroad appears to be very bright and how regional passenger jets, defined as jet planes seating between 25 and 110 passengers, are becoming increasingly popular alternatives to the turbo-prop "puddle-jumper" aircraft businesspeople have come to associate with commuter flights in smaller markets. It provides an overview and background of regional jets, the associated cost factors and controversies, an assessment of the potential impact of the identified alternatives, and the sell-offs of regional carriers by the major carrier owners.
From the Paper "As a result of their increasing popularity, regional jets have also created their share of controversies, including claims these types of aircraft are clogging the nation's already stressed airports and issues concerning equitable pay rates for regional jet pilots compared to their mainstream aviation counterparts. ?Some say regional jets are jamming the system, but that's not true,? says Faye Malarkey, a legislative director for the Regional Airline Association (RAA). Rather, Malarkey says that regional jets are "part of the solution" (Arnoult, 2000, p. 67). Likewise, the President of the RAA, Deborah McElroy says, "We think that they are making regional jets a scapegoat. That's not appropriate. regional jets are added because that's what the passengers want" (Arnoult, 2000, p. 67). "
Abstract This report discusses Airbus, an aircraft manufacturer that was formed in 1970 as a consortium between four national entities in Europe. Airbus France, Airbus Deutschland and Airbus Espana merged together and became the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS) which held an 80% stake in the newly formed entity and BAE Systems with 20%. According to the paper, despite faulty designs in one of their more recent aircrafts, the A380, the world's largest passenger plane, Airbus still develops some of the most modern aircraft in the world and has a lucrative business opportunities in the military transport aircraft market. The paper describes Airbus' strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
From the Paper "Airbus has a long history of innovation in the aircraft manufacturing industry, starting with its A300 in 1974. The A300 was the airline industry's first twin-engine wide body aircraft and its optimized fuselage cross-section was retained for the A330 and A340 airliners that followed. (Airbus, 2008) Today, the company continues its tradition in innovation with its A380 aircrafts, the world's largest passenger plane. Two of the many innovations of the A380 include, high-pressure hydraulics and variable-frequency electrical generation, both of which reduce weight and boost system performance. (Airbus, 2008)"
