From the Paper
"Teamwork often occurs successfully when members of diverse populations are able to come together and agree upon a set of strategies, values and beliefs in a uniform fashion. While this is easy in a homogenous population, within a multicultural environment agreement often proves more challenging. As part of the teamwork approach to managing a multicultural workforce, it is vital managers learn how cultural differences affect teamwork and employees motivation to work and involve themselves in a team environment. A cooperative environment is more likely to promote a framework for "maximizing culturally diverse teams" and developing team identity even in a diverse environment (Foothill De Anza, 2005). For purposes of Worldwide Telecommunications, Inc. managers must engage in a gap analysis to uncover what areas of the company are currently working to promote a cooperative environment and what barriers to cooperation currently exist within the organization. Communication challenges that arise from working in multicultural and diverse teams are also likely to become apparent during this analysis. "

Abstract
This paper takes a close look at the accomplishments and goals of the Pepsi company in order to better examine the environmental factors Pepsi considers when makings its domestic and global marketing decisions.
From the Paper
"Another major factor is the economic environment of the domestic and international market that advertising campaigns intend to target. While in the United States, relative wealth makes the purchase of soft drinks a daily necessity for many Americans. Thus spending on soda and especially Pepsi products take place in large quantities with no more than second's thought. The domestic market caters to Pepsi's product and as a result, consumers are willing to pay the going rates in order to purchase Pepsi products. However, this is not necessarily true in other markets. When Pepsi initially advertised its products in China, it sold its product at the exchange price equivalent to the United States. As a result, Pepsi became a product that was almost never drunk in China for a period because of its relatively overpriced nature. Only when Pepsi realized that the market in China was not ready to accept Pepsi into its daily diet did they lower the price to a level that Chinese consumers would purchase it (Paley, 30). Economic environment plays a large role in how marketing strategies work within certain markets. Pepsi's products is a especially obvious because it is a consumer want, rather than need, and as a result needs to be carefully marketed both economically and socially in order to gain significant market shares within international markets."

Abstract
This paper examines how the psyche of "Japan Inc." is its strength and its weakness too. This psyche had initially served Japan well, but it has now outlived its utility and hence must changed. To change this psyche, the paper proposes two policy recommendations. One deals with the social roots of the psyche and the other deals with the economic roots. For the social aspect of the psyche, the paper proposes that the Japanese relook and rewrite their history. For the economic aspect, the paper proposes that the Japanese instate a viable pension system. (The paper recommends the Chilean Pension system along with the reasons). The paper shows that by restudying their history, the Japanese may come out of their myth of being a homogeneous race and thus move forward to assimilate foreigners. The paper explains how this assimilation will be in the interest of "Japan Inc". By adopting a sound pension system, the economic future of Japan will be more optimistic and rid the country of its burden of the 'lifetime employment? system The paper argues that both these measures will help change the adverse demographic pattern of the society to the long-term advantage of "Japan Inc". The paper includes graphs.
From the Paper
"It may be argued that the Japanese growth was nothing but a happy accident of history, but whatever it was, it was indeed awesome and left Economists gasping for explanations. However as Japanese are now realizing, in its bid to catch up with the West, Japan has caught its own tail. Side by side of following the West, Japan ?forgot? to learn English and could not become a favorite destination for foreigners in search for opportunities. Its empty immigration offices should worry Japan and the Government should swiftly move to attract foreign labor as they will not only bring youthful energy and ideas with them but will also be a source of huge demand for Japanese economy. The Japanese can learn from the US experience where the US economy is benefited by the demand generated by the foreigners apart from the Americans themselves- something which was consciously promoted by the US government in the past, of having a multi colored heterogeneous society which today is America?s biggest strength."

Legislative Lifting

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Examples of case law have shown us that the courts are not willing to allow individuals to use the corporate form to "evade a contractual or legal obligation". This has been clearly demonstrated with the preceding case law, in particular in the case of Adams v. Cape Industries where this principle has been brought to the forefront of British Company Law and practice . However, in Adams v. Cape Industries, the courts were only contending with a speculative tortious liability, here we are concerned with the principles of the company or individuals, prior to incorporation, committing a fraud and denying another of their legal rights. The question that the courts need to address in their decision making process is the timing of the fraud being committed."

Incorporating Gender Issues, 2004.
An analysis of the construction of a gendered state in South Africa.
2,094 words (approx. 8.4 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 65.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores how feminists in South Africa have been able to incorporate gender interests into the structure of democratic institutions by recognizing the close link between apartheid and gender inequalities regarding the concept of citizenship. Their efforts have contributed to the improvement of South African women's political, economic and social status, which will eventually lead to the higher quality of life. The South African case shows us how grassroots movements can make a positive impact on society by eagerly interacting with the state.
From the Paper
"The dramatic political and social upheavals and transformations that have occurred throughout the world during the 1990s have brought international attention on theories of citizenship and democracy. While western liberal democratic gender-neutral notions of citizenship have been widely promoted, South African feminists have argued tenaciously that gender issues had to be incorporated in theories of citizenship in order to deal more effectively with gender inequalities deeply embedded in the South African society. Over the past decade, feminists in South Africa have struggled against the patriarchal structure of their society and advocated for the need of the institutionalized and constitutional frameworks that allow a systemic improvement of South African women's political, economic and social status. This essay will argue that by recognizing the close link between aparthied and gender inequalities and gendering the concept of citizenship, feminists in South Africa have been able to build gender interests into the structure of democratic institutions, which has contributed to the bettered political, social and economic status of South African women."

Abstract
Matthew Rabin?s model of fairness is based on Geanakoplos, Pearce and Stacchetti's (1989) notion of ?psychological game?, in which payoffs depend on actions and on beliefs about actions. The paper describes how Rabin?s model shows how fairness expectations lead to different results than standard theory and demonstrates some general implications of fairness on game theory and economics. This paper contains a short description of Rabin?s model, gives some examples, propositions, proofs and critique.
From the Paper
"Suppose that (a1,a2) is a mutual-max outcome. Then both f1 and f2 must be nonnegative, thus reflect a positive regard for each other.
If each player chooses a strategy which maximizes both his own material well-being and the well-being of the other player this must maximize his own utility. In a case of mutual min outcome the f1 and f2 is non positive, thus, f~j(bj,ci)[1+fi(a1,bj)] is non negative. If each player is choosing a strategy which maximizes his own material well-being , this must maximize his utility."

The Georgia State Flag, 2002.
Examines the controversy in Georgia over the Confederate emblem being incorporated into the state flag.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Since 1956 the Georgia State flag has had the Confederate emblem incorporated into it. This remains a contentious issue in the state that considers itself both to be the heart of Dixie and also the heart of the new, enlightened, progressive South. This paper examines the history leading up to the current protests over the state flag and the particular tenure of the most recent debates, ending with arguments over why the flag should remain.
From the Paper
"The flag was raised in part as a measure of defiance against Civil Rights laws, but also to commemorate the Civil War centennial. In 1962 it was an act of defiance toward a federal government forcing an end to the segregated South. But now, for many in the state it is no longer a symbol of slavery, which is something for the history books, or segregation, which too is being pushed into the history books as well. The flag for these Georgians is not a symbol of slavery but of loyalty to a shared heritage only they can truly understand (Buckley B7). It is also an emblem of the fact that the South still possesses a local and distinct sense of identity that has been lost to the homogenizing forces of mass media and modern culture in so much of the rest of the country (Los Angeles Times A18)."
