Abstract
This paper explains that, to increase Rohm and Haas' market share and revenue in the maintenance biocide market, the market manager must evaluate the relevant marketing issues and possible alternative measures to find the preferred marketing strategy. Next, the author recommends that the best strategy is to revise the distribution network by removing formulators and distributing them directly through the secondary distribution market. The paper presents a implementation plan to make certain that there is a smooth transition to this secondary distribution network and to prevent disruption in sales of Kathon MWX. The paper includes calculation tables.

From the Paper
"Formulators, the main distributors of Kathon 886 MW, target customers of large centralized metalworking fluid systems. Formulators have their own secondary distributors and can expand to more than 18,000 outlets (14,327 industrial supply houses and 3,654 machine tool shops1). Though many formulators have asked for private branding of Kathon MWX, Rohm and Haas has declined their offers due to its desire for uniformity in package design. Restricting private branding would cause formulators to lose interest in Kathon MWX, which would directly impact sales of the product."

Abstract
This paper explains that a better alternative for this case would be to focus on the other employees and on making changes, which make working requirements clearer for everyone. The author recommends that the requirements of employees be revised into a specific job description that lists exactly what is required of employees for a sufficient performance. The paper stresses that the performance measurement system needs to be extended to cover more than just specific tasks required ,such as working effectively as part of the team.

From the Paper
"The problems that are occurring are partly due to the culture of the organization, where those in management do not appear to be ultimately focused on the successful operation of the business. This refers specifically to Randi Bragen, who seems to be focused on her own professional needs. This also refers to the HR Bureau, who always side with Bragen. Walter Higbe also creates an additional issue because he is focused on not violating employee rights because of his past experience. These factors create a situation where others can identify and accept that there is a problem with Casey Hughes, but are not willing to take any action. Based on these factors, it is suggested that pushing the issue of Hughes' behavior is not going to have a major impact. For example, while a good solution might be to have Hughes dismissed, this is not a solution that is feasible in this situation."

Abstract
This paper presents a case study relating to privacy issues in the medical and healthcare field. It aims to design an executive level privacy protection policy and considers both the legal regulations applicable to a company's privacy issues and the company's particular privacy needs. The paper specifically examines the application of the United States Privacy Act and its subsequent revisions and the Healthcare Information Privacy Protection Act (HIPPA).

From the Paper
"Clearly, the Privacy Act, originally intended to apply only to government agencies, now applies to such non-governmental entities as the healthcare system and commercial businesses. What can be concluded from this expansion of the Act's jurisdiction is that, because of the Act, individuals now have an expectation of personal privacy. In order to ensure this expectation is met, all customer-related organizations must take steps, per the Privacy Act, to protect an individual's personal privacy. (Douglas-Steward: 2001)."

Abstract
This paper is written in response to the important decisions which were handed down by the Supreme Court in Brewer v. Williams, regarding the disappearance of ten year old Pamela Powers in Des Moines, Iowa. It presents an overview of the case, including the question which the Court was prompted to answer, the facts of the case and the rational the Court used in deciding the way in which it did. The paper looks at prior cases involving the right to counsel, as well as cases following the Brewer decision, and an argument as to why this case is of a significant benefit to American Law.

From the Paper
"In order to understand how the Court reached its ruling, it's important to understand some of the significant cases prior to Williams. In Massiah v. United States 377 U.S. 201 (1964) the Supreme Court ruled that once a suspect has been indicted and retains a lawyer, the police cannot (through any means) try to illicit incriminating statements from the suspect, in order to use at trial; thus, it was a direct violation of Massiah's Right to Counsel. In Miranda v. Arizona 384 U.S. 436 (1966) the Court held that if there is a determination that a suspect is deprived of movement in a significant way, and is also being interrogated, he must be informed of his rights prior to questioning."

Abstract
This analysis of the effectiveness of the case method provides five reasons why the case study method is useful. The paper explains that case studies provide a qualitative viewpoint and a way to digest complex ideas and they offer a vehicle to make abstract complex real. The paper asserts that case studies are useful as a team building tool and they are also used for evaluating policies, programs, and methods. The paper notes that as with any analytical methodology, case studies are only useful if they are well prepared.

From the Paper
"The Case Method is a type of analytical method used as a teaching tool and as a way to evaluate general topics. The approach involves reviewing and analyzing one situation. Lessons derived from that one situation are then applied to a larger context. In theory, many useful general lessons may be learned about the topic at hand. In practice, case studies sometimes fall short of their intended objectives. The United States General Accounting Office (1990) offers a complex definition of a case study: "A case study is a method for learning about a complex instance, based on a comprehensive understanding of that instance obtained by extensive...""

Abstract
This is a paper examines a health assessment of an elderly individual, including the choice of assessment tools, and the outcome and case presentation. Here, a 78 year old male with type two diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and high cholesterol presented for a wound that did not heal properly. The assessment and decision for case management and the presentation on case management was based on the Neumann Systems Model which is a holistically based model calling for an interdisciplinary team.

From the Paper
"Case Management and the Elderly: Case management is rapidly becoming a requirement for the growing population of elderly individuals who experience a chronic or debilitating health issue. This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of a 78 year old male diabetic patient who presented to a community clinic setting for problems related to a wound that was not healing properly and discusses the various assessments used and the role of case management. The case presentation will incorporate the comprehensive nature of health assessment requirements for the elderly consistent with the holistic nature of the Neumann Systems Model. Based on the case presentation, the need for a case manager and the development of a multi-disciplinary team of healthcare professionals in the community health setting are required. Plans for follow-up and continuity of care are provided as are schedules and type of monitoring and future evaluations."

Abstract
This paper takes one through three vital steps in change management. It starts with the need for the changes to be supported by those effected, moves on to consideration and justification of the changes and then looks at the need for a planned change process. The three steps are illustrated through the use of a case study of a memo sent out to staff. The paper concludes with an example of a revised memo, conducive to effective change management.

From the Paper
"Effectively implementing change depends on several actions being taken. Firstly, the changes made need to be supported by those effected by the changes. Secondly, the changes made need to be considered and justified. Thirdly, the change process needs to be planned. By focusing on these three areas, changes can be implemented effectively to ensure that they achieve beneficial results while also being implemented with minimal disruption."

Abstract
This paper shows how the presentation of Shakespearean plays on the stage has varied considerably from age to age. This tendency to alter and re-create Shakespeare has been as much dictated by the taste of the public as it has also been supported by literary and dramatic interpretations. Thus, new meanings have been invented over the years to suit particular social needs. The paper shows that in the case of "King Lear", one can see that the play was subjected to revision by Shakespeare himself in an attempt to make it more suitable for presentation in his own time. It was later re-interpreted to the point of complete distortion by Nahum Tate to fit the social need for complacency and was, finally, restored to as much its original form as possible in the twentieth century. The paper argues that as "Titus Andronicus" has had an almost similar fate, one is drawn to the conclusion that the reason why Shakespeare's plays have enjoyed such an ongoing popularity is because they have been adapted, re-invented and interpreted through the centuries.

From the Paper
"King Lear was certainly staged again after its performance at King James' court. We have reasonable evidence to believe that the play was most probably written in 1605 and that Richard Burbage was the original Lear, while Robert Armin played the role of the Fool. However, it seems unlikely that the Quarto text was ever used for public performances for two reasons. Firstly, the direct references to King James and the political overtones in the Fool's scolding lines made the Quarto text unsuitable for the public. Secondly, the Folio version is much more suitable in theatrical terms because its dramatic action is a lot swifter and the presentation of events is much more economical from the theatrical point of view."

Abstract
This paper explains how the infamous Enron case caused regulatory bodies the world over to be concerned and stressed the need for greater control in the form of stringent and revised policies as well as a dramatic increase in penalties for any unethical and illegal offenses. The paper also examines the resulting positive impact the bill has on Canadian investors while boosting the capital market.

From the Paper
"It is evident that the Ontario Bill 198 has not only radically transformed the role of CGA, CSA, OSC and CICA in setting up standards but it has also resulted in increased investor's confidence and greater stability of the capital market where employment of ethical standards is essential for the survival of the market system. Ontario Bill has thus augmented the power of investors thereby equipping them with new-found confidence in the workings of the market system where there hard-earned and much-valued capital remains at stake but which is no more at the mercy of the financial accountants."

Abstract
This research paper examines the different diagnostic labels for autism that are in current use, to consider how far they are applied with any consistency, how far they overlap, and whether existing terminology is adequate to account for the range of disorders encountered. The paper explains that Professor D.V.M. Bishop's work is highlighted in the research because the author feels that to even attempt to comprehend what is the 'best practice' in the case of educating the autistic individual is to first identify, define and characterize what 'autism' is actually comprised of in terms of its needs, its abilities, and the practices that negatively impact the autistic learner as well. Bishop informs the research at hand of some key factors in considering education of the autistic child.

From the Paper
"While Christopher may well master the production of "long and complicated sentences" simultaneously Christopher's responses "are often inappropriate, and he often asks questions of others while disregarding the answers he receives." Bishop goes on and explains by asking the reader to suppose that in this fictional yet realistic situation that: "The psychiatrist suggests a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome. The speech therapist states that an analysis of Christopher's language shows that it is phonologically and grammatically normal.""
