Abstract
This paper explains that former G.E Chairman, Jack Welch, was, at one time, exactly the right person to lead G.E. because he was not afraid to take calculated risks and try new ideas. Today, however, new strategies are needed to take on globalization, the move away from manufacturing to a knowledge and service-based economy and the quantum technological shift to the Internet. The author compares several of Welch's old rules with the new rules for doing business in the 21st century. The paper stresses that the extreme measures used by Jack Welch were needed during the transitional period during which business changed from national to international and from capitalist to functionalist. The paper also highlights the work of management guru Peter Drucker to support this argument.
From the Paper
"It was apparent over the past few years that the customer has been forgotten in many places, but the statistic mentioned by "Fortune" that businesses lose half their customers annually is more than expected and more than any business should tolerate. Fifty years ago, one unhappy customer would tell several others, but now they can tell several thousand with a BLOG. Mass communication has changed the entire dynamic of customer service. The Internet and email have made it much easier to communicate with customers and take care of them ... In the end, it is the customer which keeps the business alive, not the stockholders. "

Abstract
In China the document that started the Cultural Revolution is known as the ?Sixteen Articles.? It began the development of the new stage in the proletarian revolution, listed the reasons for Cultural Revolution, the targets of the revolution, and set up the guidance for carrying out the revolution. According to Mao, the bourgeoisie was still ?trying to use the old ideas, culture, customs, and habits of the exploiting classes to corrupt the masses, capture their mind, and endeavor to stage a comeback?. Thus, the main goal was to struggle against (1) people who are ?taking the capitalist road,? (2) to criticize ?bourgeois academic authorities? and (3) to transform education, literature, and art that are not in correspondence with the socialist society. Mao?s plan was taken seriously by many young students, who became vigorous supporters of the new plan. This paper explores the various experiences of Chinese youth during those years.
From the Paper
"From August 1 to August 12, 1966, the Eleventh Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party was taken place in Peking. Mao Tse-tung was presiding. The meeting, which lasted for twelve long days, was ignored by some of the regular Central Committee members but was full of revolutionary leaders, students and teachers. In fact the plenum was attended only by 80 out of 120 Central Committee members. The decision of the Cultural Revolution involved a prolonged debate. Mao and his reforms faced heated opposition (Lee 65). Nonetheless, on August 8, the Plenary Session adopted, with barely enough votes, the ?Decision of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party Concerning the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution,[1]? and in August 12 issued the ?Communiqu? of the Eleventh Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China? (Fan 161)."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper offers an explanation of the Federal Reserve System, otherwise known as the Fed. The paper begins with the history of the Fed, from its establishment in 1913 following an act of congress. The paper then explains how the Fed system works, its structure, management system, goals and purpose. The paper includes an explanation of some of the common terms associated with the Fed, such as the discount rate, which can increase the monetary supply and open market operations which is the tool most often used by the Fed to affect the supply of reserves in the banking system.
From the Paper
"The Fed consists of the seven members of the Board of Governors and twelve Federal Reserve District Banks. Adhering to the underlying philosophy of checks and balances envisaged in the US constitution, the Congress has structured the Fed to be an independent institution within the government. The Fed, although accountable to the Congress, is insulated from political pressures in its day-to-day working, reflecting the principle that ?the people who control the country?s money supply should be independent of the people who make the government?s spending decisions.? (?How is the FR Structured??)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the influences of big industrialists such as Rockefeller, Carnegie, and other big bosses of the trust that led to the creation of the United States Federal Reserve Bank (also known as the Fed). The paper then further discusses their role in the creation of the Fed in the early 1900s. It particularly discusses how their influence resulted in their financial power on the corporate, governmental and institutional level in the United States, as well as on a global basis.
Table of Contents:
Objective
Introduction
I. The Panic Of 1907
II. Jekyll Island
III. Rockefeller's Role In The Creation Of The Fed
IV. Carnegie's Role In The Creation Of The Fed
Summary And Conclusion
From the Paper
"It is clear that Carnegie and Rockefeller money was invested in the motivating and directing forces of the establishment of the Federal Reserve System. The discovery made in the research of this subject leads to the discovery of some very sinister political ties which existed between these two named wielders of financial power on the corporate, governmental and institutional level in the United States as well as on a global basis. This power moves throughout the entire scheme of history and continues to move in today's world events. The New Standard Encyclopedia states of the Federal Reserve System that: "After World War I, the Federal Reserve System followed various policies designed to increase the supply of bank credit. It was believed that the economic growth of the country required such measures, but some authorities now think that these policies contributed to the 1928 stock market boom and collapse." (New Standard Encyclopedia, Vol. 3 Chicago Press, 1984) Certainly the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations are both still active in today's world through the many funding programs of each which leads one to further considerations in study in pursuit of obtaining knowledge of the powers that have shaped the historical development of the United States government and policies."

The Connection between the BoC and the FED, 2002.
Argues that the BoC has maintained a certain amount of financial independence from the economy of the U.S. and that this independence has helped shield Canada from the global recession.

Abstract
While it is true that the fiscal health of the United States, in particular, has a strong national effect upon that of Canada, it is also true that Canada's central bank has been able to sustain a particular level of independence from the world markets that have, in great part, shielded it from some of the same financial damage being felt in the States and in Germany. It has been asserted that the Bank of Canada's financial behaviors, actions and decisions are influenced by the FED's financial behaviors and that these influences are due to the strong economic ties between Canada and the United States. This is certainly a statement which bears out through research and it is the purpose of this paper to demonstrate that it is so.

The Fed and Interest Rate Cuts, 2002.
This paper examines the Federal Reserve Board, how it functions and how its decisions affect the American economy, particularly the adjustment of interest rates.

Abstract
To most people in this country, the Federal Reserve Board is somewhat of a mysterious entity. While most people have heard of it, most have very little idea of what it does or how it works. One of the most important jobs of the Federal Reserve Board is adjusting interest rates nationwide. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Federal Reserve Board has made numerous rate cuts with the purpose of bolstering a floundering economy. The overall effect of these rate cuts on the American economy is a subject of debate. This paper will explore that debate, while at the same time explaining how the Federal Reserve Board operates.

Abstract
This paper analyzes two economics-related articles from the mainstream United States media from September to November 2006 - "Chairman Seeks Inflation Targets to Calm Markets" by Kevin Hall and "How Much is too Much? Fed Looks for its Comfort Zone in the Debate over Inflation" by Nell Henderson. The paper analyzes the complex dilemmas facing policymakers and economists in dealing with economic issues, such as inflation.
From the Paper
"This view of problems with indices measuring inflation is not unique to the United States, for Canadian policymakers have grappled with similar problems in effectively obtaining measures of inflation according to the various indices - such as the Consumer Price Index - that are used in Canada (Mankiw and Scarth 2005). Given these problems with measuring the rate of inflation accurately, we can understand why some of the commentators in Hall's article express unease about fixing a target rate and imposing changes in monetary policy that may actually - if inadvertently - lead to disinflation."

Abstract
This paper examines the Federal Reserve System (also called the Fed for short), the U.S. Central Bank that was created through an Act of the Congress in 1913. It looks at how it is run by a public-private partnership which includes banking officials from different parts of the country and seeks to perform several key roles in the U.S. economy, the most critical of which relates to the Monetary Policy. It briefly outlines the history of the Fed, its primary role(s), its basic structure and how its members are appointed/ elected. Brief information about its present chairman, its recent performance and the major future challenge for the Fed is also discussed.

From the Paper
"The Fed, under its current chairman, in tandem with the Clinton administration presided over the longest period of economic expansion in the nation?s history and got a lot of credit for the success. The Fed supported President Bill Clinton?s 1993 deficit-reduction programs and spending cuts that resulted in a balanced US budget after years of runaway deficits. It also handled the monetary policy with dexterity in the wake of the Asian Financial Crisis by timely interest rate cuts and prevented a worldwide recession. A downturn in the US economy since 2000 has tarnished the Fed?s gloss somewhat. It underlines, more than anything else, the limitations of the Fed to influence the economy and the over-riding truth of the inevitable boom and bust cycles inherent in a capitalist economy."

Abstract
The objective of this work is to explore the aspects of raising beef cattle for 'profit' in the area of the United States that is comprised of Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and other areas of the Southeastern United States. It examines the factors that have the potential to affect costs and profits and ultimately examines the feeding methods through a compare and contrast analysis of 'grain' fed cattle and 'grass' fed cattle in relation to cost, health and profitability.
Outline:
Objective
Introduction
Changes in the Cattle Business over the Past Two Decades
Challenges and Difficulties in Raising Beef Cattle Herds
Profit And Loss Considerations in Raising Beef Cattle
Grain-Fed versus Grass/Pasture-Fed Beef
Nutritional Differences in Grass- And Grain-Fed Beef
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The cattle business is not a livelihood that can be scheduled on a clock for indeed just as the beef cattleman has decided to head in from the barns and fields it is time for a calf to be born, or a calf has been born and rejected by its' mother requiring bottle-feeding every few hours and around the clock. Other difficulties are illustrated in the fence that the cattle broke at 3:00 a.m. or the sick cow that must be 'put down' in order to keep infection from the rest of the herd. While the cattle business is rewarding and has the potential to be, very profitable it is not a business for those who tend to be lackadaisical or for the faint at heart. "

Abstract
This paper contrasts the classical economic thinking with current actual economic occurrences. Classically, economics suggests the central bank of the United States, the Federal Reserve Bank, should raise the rate of interest to cool down a potentially overheated economy that may spiral into inflation, and lower the rate of interest to encourage spending amongst thrifty consumers who are saving when recession looms upon the horizon during an economic slow-down. However, the paper states that this is not the case in reality. The paper demonstrates that the Fed's own lack of confidence in its predictions highlights the difficulty of predicting the complex array of forces that affect the economy. Some examples mentioned include, consumer optimism, natural and political forces, and other areas beyond the Fed's immediate control, which must come into play when the Fed sets the rate of interest. The paper suggests that the Fed may want to be more cautious in creating monetary policy for the economy, because it can affect many lives in doing so. However, it asserts that the Fed's influence is only likely to increase rather than decrease in the future, and all consumers can do is attempt to alter their buying and borrowing habits in light of their own predictions of the Fed chairman's behavior.
From the Paper
"Today, the Fed has held the key interest rate steady at 5.25 percent for 'just over a year' and seems unlikely to raise rats in the future ('Public affects inflation,' AP Wire, 2007). But although it has defended its recent policy, the Fed admits that its decisions are never a science, and it weights the potential accuracy of forecasts in light of consumer psychology. The current chairman Ben Bernanke said this means that the Fed cannot ignore the threat of inflation anymore than it can ignore indebted consumers who are worried about the effect of high interest rates upon their monthly budget. 'If investors, consumers and businesses feel confident that the Fed will keep prices stable...they may be less inclined to act in ways that could aggravate inflation,' because 'these groups may be less inclined in such circumstances to worry that inflation will eat away at investments and paychecks, and might feel better about longer-term financial planning' ('Public affects inflation,' AP Wire, 2007). In short, consumers living off of their assets, like retirees, may be more willing to spend more freely if they feel those assets are not in jeopardy."

Government and the Economy, 2002.
Examines the manner in which the president, the Federal Reserve Chairman, the SEC Commissioner, and the attorney general can influence the U.S. economy.

Abstract
One of the most important aspects of the structure of the US government is there is no single authority controlling or commanding the economy. This structural decision allowed for the creation of the free-market system in its current incarnation. No single person or institution can have an over-riding effect on the performance of the economy as a whole. However, there are a number individuals who can, to a greater or lesser degree, have an effect on the economy. This brief paper will examine the following four such figures: (1) the president, (2) the Federal Reserve Chairman, (3) SEC Commissioner, and (4) the attorney general.

Abstract
This paper discusses the recent testimony of Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, and the annual report to Congress by the Federal Reserve. This paper examines the current state of the economy as well as the Federal Reserve handling of monetary and fiscal policy relative to the economy. Of particular importance is the Federal Reserves strategic shift in policy from accommodative to appropriate.
From the Paper
"The Federal Reserve, as represented by Alan Greenspan, in recent testimony before Congress believes the state of the economy is, overall, very positive. Mr. Greenspan, among other factors, listed employment numbers, retail spending and business investment as reasons to believe the economy is trending stronger (Testimony, 2005, para.5). Mr. Greenspan also alluded to the character of the US housing market as a leading generator of the nation's wealth at the moment but cautioned the current "froth" in the residential home market is a potential threat to the economy (Testimony, 2005, para.42). In sum the Federal Reserve is very upbeat about the state of the economy but has considerable reservations concerning the threat of inflation led by rising oil and gas prices: A flattening out of the prices of crude oil and natural gas...would also lessen upward pressures on inflation."

The Federal Reserve.
This paper reviews Martin Mayer's book, ?The Fed: The Inside Story of How the World's Most Powerful Financial Institution Drives the Market?, arguing that the Fed's influence on the economy is largely indirect.

Abstract
This paper explains that Mayer chronicles the history of the Federal Reserve, from its charter in 1913, through the events of the Great Depression, intervening decades of boom and bust, to today's role of market overseer; however, despite the higher than ever profile of the Fed, Mayer makes the point that much of this power is illusory. The author points out that the idea of the central bank as a significant regulator of the economy had its ascendancy in the middle of the 20th century, not only in the United States, but also around the world. The paper comments that, in this era of omnipresent media and twenty-four hour business television, it is Alan Greenspan who has become the face of the Federal Reserve for most of us.
From the Paper
"Mayer begins his examination of the Federal Reserve with these events of October, 1998, when the economy was threatened by a worldwide liquidity crisis. Bankers and finance ministers converged on Washington for a meeting of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. On the table was the issue of the Asian financial crisis and its impact on certain nations' ability to service their debt. Highly leveraged hedge funds were in danger of collapsing due to their high debt levels. Bankers at the Washington meeting were encouraged to increase lending rates to stave off a serious market downturn."
