From the Paper
"Knowledge management centers on employees acquiring and using knowledge to the benefit of the organization. When an organization can successfully utilize knowledge, they find they have a significant competitive advantage. For this reason, the loss of critical employees, and the loss of this knowledge base and the accompanying skills, can have a detrimental effect on the organization and reduce competitiveness (Ramlall, 2004, p. 52)."

Abstract
A look at the recent development of Citigroup, which includes a two-quarter profit, restructuring, and both problems and challenges with the bailout which gave the company billions of tax payer dollars

From the Paper
"The enormous bailout of American banks is due to factors beyond the sub-prime mortgage crisis. It also affects the desire of many banks to expand their services into areas that were basically the preserve of others- whether brokerages real estate developers or international consolidators. Citigroup once one of the most innovative and profitable institutions from the time it was led by Walter Wriston when it was First National City and then Citibank was lured into these unfamiliar areas in part due to the desire to ..."

Summary and Conclusion

From the Paper
"City Bank grew rapidly throughout the twentieth century. By the 1980s, Citibank was a wholly-owned subsidiary of CitiCorp, a financial holding company formed by City Bank. At that time, the institution consistently ranked as the largest American bank when measured by total loans, and, more often than not, when measured by total assets. It was, however, generally referred to as the country's second largest bank, because, when measured by total deposits, Bank of America was consistently ranked as the largest American bank. In 1999, Citicorp was replaced by Citigroup following the unprecedented merger of Citicorp and Travelers Insurance. The new company offers the widest array of financial services and products ever offered by a single company."

Abstract

Morgan Chase & Co. were much more aggressive than the Senate Committee had previously thought. This new evidence is analyzed and details of their involvement is explained.

From the Paper
"Several ethical issues are involved in the case, none of which have clear answers. At the heart of the matter is the concern that corporate accountants are engaging not in accounting fraud, but in misrepresentation. The motive for misrepresentation, however, seems to lie with large corporations who foster environments which reward such behavior. The ethical questions in this case are difficult because of the systemic nature of the problem. Also at issue are the virtues of capitalism itself. In one regard, corporations like Enron are simply doing what it takes to survive in a capitalistic market."

From the Paper
"Budgeting is used to assist in strategic planning. Strategic or long-range planning requires the specification of objectives towards which future operations should be directed. The search for better methods of allocating and controlling the expenditure of funds has always been very important to managers. With corporations realizing decreasing revenues and governments confronted by huge deficits, budgeting is more difficult than ever. The old methods no longer are suitable for Citibank. The newest forms of budgeting are Zero-based Budgeting (ZBB) and Activity-Based Budgeting (ABB)."

Abstract
AMF and Harley-Davidson both date to the turn of the last century. In 1969, Harley-Davidson was merged with AMF through an acquisition action by AMF. The marriage lasted but 12 years, a period during which the fortunes of Harley-Davidson?s fortunes waned and AMF moved further and further away from its metal foundry roots. By the late-1970s, AMF wanted to shed Harley-Davidson and Harley-Davidson was ready to leave. Through a fortuitous set of circumstances, 13 executives of Harley-Davidson were able to buy Harley-Davidson from AMF in 1981 and restore the company to an independent status. In 1986, Harley-Davidson again went public. The primary focus of the proposed investigation is on the AMF firm. Questions such as (1) why AMF acquired Harley-Davidson, (2) why the merger failed, (3) how it happened that Harley-Davidson executives were able to repurchase Harley-Davidson and (4) how AMF evolved post-divestiture of Harley-Davidson are pursued in the proposed study.

From the Paper
"Disputes about the market structure-performance approach to the analysis of industry profitability arise due to a number of factors. The greatest areas of disagreement lie in the precise definition of the variables, and the ability to accurately measure the variables. Of almost equal significance is what is called specification uncertainty. Specification uncertainty refers to the uncertainty as to the inclusion of exclusion of additional variables in or from the equation, and the often inability to measure such variables with precision (Waterson, 1995)."
