From the Paper
"Ethics are learnt from the society and are often imposed upon an individual by the norms of that society. What is permissible ethical behavior in a society is determined by the society; the family, the company or even the law which incorporates the ethics of the society into the legislation. The motivation to follows ethics, which are not a part of the law, comes from within. Even if the law contains a matter which we may also consider ethically correct, the motivation to follow the law comes from outside the individual in the shape of compliance with the state law. Most people knew that slavery was unethical but as it was not sanctioned illegal, it continued until it was declared illegal."
"Our morals tell us the ethics, we know now as we knew before, that discrimination on the grounds of race, color, sex and religion in business transaction is ethically incorrect but the force of law was required to curb the selfishness that is present in all of us."

From the Paper
"The soft drinks market is highly concentrated into the activities of a handful of major companies, led by two dominant alliances. The clear leader is the alliance between Coca-Cola and Cadbury Schweppes, knows as Coca-Cola & Schweppes Beverages (CCSB). Due to the high costs of market entry into a large, national sector such as soft drinks, and the significant resources required to meet distribution demands, it is expected that the soft drinks industry structure will continue to become more consolidated at the top, and increasingly fragmented at entry level."

Abstract
This paper describes inhibitors to adopting, installing as new or upgrading, the Linux or Unix operating system in a desktop or workstation environment. The paper includes an annotated bibliography.
From the Paper
"Throughout history, humans have been resistant to making significant changes voluntarily, but have proven reasonably adaptable when the change is forced. Users are generally unlikely to be excited by the prospect of learning a different operating system and application software, but usually grow to enjoy the stability and consistency of Unix that other systems lack. (Wilson) Training Windows users on Unix is generally little more difficult than training them to use a new version of Windows. (Zamaris) Using Unix does have one significant difference for the end-users: the crashes, unexpected configuration changes and malware infestations common to Windows systems will no longer interfere with worker productivity. No matter what the benefits are, there will always be a few users who are unable to deal with any changes whatsoever. It is generally not beneficial for an organization to employ people who cannot adapt. Migrating to Unix desktops provides a good opportunity to identify and terminate them."

Abstract
The paper discusses the Kyoto Protocol which became effective in February 2005. The paper discusses how the United States has stayed out of the Protocol as it feared that accepting the Protocol would give the developing countries like India and China an unfair advantage. The paper further examines how the Bush government has faced severe criticism for its opposition to Kyoto Protocol both internationally as well as from general public and state governments, while a few states have taken steps to reduce green-house gasses (GHG) by regulating on state level. The paper shows that even if America does not meet the Kyoto targets it will be able to show considerable progress in GHG reduction to satisfy its own public opinion as well as the international community.

From the Paper
"Environmental issues have gained high public importance and can win or loose local senate and even presidential election. The 2004 election was probably the first where candidate of both political parties avoided the issues relating to the environment. The public pressure and that of environmental lobbies makes the government enact environmental regulations. The business lobby, on the other hand knows that implementing environmental measures adds to the cost of doing business and deprives them of business opportunities due to environmental concerns."

Abstract
This paper covers many of the topics dealing with the education of the hearing impaired. It looks at several of the methods of communication employed by the hearing impaired (oral, sign, etc.), deaf culture, technology for the deaf (cochlear implants, text telephones (TTY), hearing aids, etc.), teaching strategies for working with deaf students in a mainstream classroom, interpreters, books containing deaf characters, and strategies for improving literacy (reading and writing). Included in the paper are an introduction, a detailed annotated bibliography divided into the sections listed in the subtitle, and a conclusion. Also included are an appendix of additional sources and a series of tables for quick review of what is covered in the annotated bibliography.
From the Paper
"The education of deaf students has been an issue of debate for centuries. Some people believe that deaf students, preschool through college level, should be in a self-contained classroom or special school. Others believe that mainstreaming deaf students into a regular classroom is the best way to prepare these people to function in the hearing world. The Education for All Act of 1975, mandating that children should be provided education in the least restrictive environment, has led to more deaf children entering regular public schools."

From the Paper
"According to Richard A. Kerr, many economists foresee another half-century of cheap oil; however, a growing contingent of geologists warns that oil will begin to run out much sooner--perhaps in only 10 years or so. The optimists are characterized as mainly those who place their faith in new technology for finding and extracting oil and expect that production will meet rise in demand until about 50 years from now, a period deemed sufficient to identify and develop effective energy alternatives; however, the pessimists suggest that even taking into account the best efforts of the explorationists and the discovery of new fields in frontier areas such as the Caspian Sea sometime between 2010 and 2020, the production oil from wells around the world will peak at 80 million barrels per day, then begin a steady, inevitable decline (Kerr, 1998)."

From the Paper
"The idea was to create food delivery service that would consist of a net of dispatch-centers all over New York, and each dispatch-center would serve specific area around itself. This service would replace delivery services that each business needs to maintain for itself. The company will be located in New York and hopefully will expand to other areas in the United States. It will employ hundreds of people from different origins - mostly non-professional young people, immigrants, and minorities - for the delivery service, and smaller number of employees for various levels of management, maintenance, system operation, etc. It will use hundreds of vehicles to perform deliveries and occupy tens of premises all over New York. Its potential customers will be all food preparing businesses in New York ? pizzerias, various ethnic cuisine restaurants, etc., and its consumers will be the residents of New York. The enterprise will use Internet to enhance the connection between consumers, customers, and NY Food Express operatives. The estimated net profit from every dispatch-center will be around $200 thousand a year, and it is expected to yield a stable $6-8 million a year when all New York area will be covered by the service."

Bibliography
Suggested Reading
From the Paper
"Because children with ADD do not handle changes well, competitive team sports may be very distressful for them, as team sports are a study in physical changes and disruptions. Studies have shown that ADD children do better with sports where they compete against their own best scores. For boys this might include weight lifting, gymnastics and track and field rather than football, baseball or basketball. For girls, aerobics, gymnastics, dance and track and field would be better than soccer or softball."

Abstract
This study identifies the competitive advantage of BMW, the trends in the automotive industry and business environment in which this company operates. It explains how every manufacturer in the automobile industry is facing intense internal rivalry and it is vital that organizations understand their strengths as well as their weakness if their effectiveness as market leaders is to be maintained. It points out that the motor vehicle and parts manufacturing industry has been the mainstay of the U.S. economy ever since Henry Ford set up the first mass production factory for the automobile. It also looks at how globalization in the past four decades has also created an environment where the manufacturing and sales are not necessarily in the same geographical area.

Chapter: 3 Conclusion
Chapter: 4 Bibliography
From the Paper
"The market for automobiles is very mature and well developed in the U.S., Japan and Western Europe; on the other hand, markets in Southeast Asia and South America are still growing. The big five-Ford, General Motors (GM), Daimler-Chrysler, Toyota and Honda, globally dominates the automobile industry. These five have been able to progressively limit the growth of small national brands globally by implementing better manufacturing and sales strategies. From the basic engineering standpoint, little has changed in the development of the engine and components needed for this industry. Computer technology and computer aided design however, has brought about revolutions in the industry. The intense global competition has forced many auto manufacturers to "rethink the human resource management, industrial relations, and employment practices that support those production systems." (Rubinstein, 2000)"

Abstract
This paper is an annotated bibliography of several books and articles discussing the process of management methodology reengineering. Examples of companies like Sprint and Citibank are discussed in terms of the advantages resulting from the schematic restructuring of their management systems.
From the Paper
"For the past four decades technology has been growing at an astronomical pace and it has only been due to the very fact of continuous improvements and modifications in the existing styles and techniques. As technology moulds itself to become better and better by the day so must the managerial support behind it improve to keep the pace. A term that could best describe such an escalating sequence of changes is known as re-engineering. This term has been synthesized by adding ?re? in the beginning of ?engineering? wherein engineering is defined as ?manufacturing something valuable through the combination of various elements.? Hence we develop the idea of re-combining or rearrangement. The element that must be rearranged is the method of carrying out the work; the process more appropriately, it is the business process."

Abstract
By using an annotated bibliography of John Dewey's works, or of works that focus upon John Dewey, this paper shows this American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer's view of education. John Dewey applied much thought, consideration, observation and research in the area of educational issues and challenged those around him to speculate upon the many dimensions of learning and the theories of his time in relation to the education of children in society and future endeavors that would arise as well.
From the Paper
"Ikeda, D (nd) John Dewey and Tsunesaburo Makiguchi: Confluences of Thought and Action. Online available at: http://www.siu.edu/~deweyctr/jd_makiguchi.pdf
"This work is a paper on the "parallels between the life and thinking of the Japanese educator and activist Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871-1944) and the great American philosopher John Dewey (1859-1952)." The writing tells of the similarities in the philosophy of Dewey and Makiguchi relating to experiential learning. Stated in this work is: "As contemporaries, Dewey and Makiguchi shaped and were shaped by the intellectual milieu of the latter half of the nineteenth century, the legacy of Durkheim, Darwin, Hegel and Kant." Further stated is that there exists "important parallels in their attempts to extend the realm of pragmatic thinking; to take it beyond the classroom and institutions of education to the broader framework of building communities and societies; to look with fresh eyes at the role of religion in propelling that effort."
