From the Paper
"The ImClone Scandal shattered Martha's image and perfectionist persona. In the month of December, she was tipped by an assistant with the Merrill Lynch Company of stockbrokers regarding the stock of ImClone System, a pharmaceutical company. The Chairman of the Company was going to sell stock because of an upcoming bad report by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Erbitux, which had been thought to be a successful anti-cancer drug. Martha based on the tip sold her stock to save herself the petty profit. "She had 3,928 shares in ImClone worth $58.43 each, or a total of $229,513. If she had waited she would have sold stock that had slipped to $45.39. That would have meant she would have incurred a loss of $51,222" (Stephen, 2004)."

From the Paper
"Things are looking up for Stewart; she has a new line of DVDs and a new baking book that hit bookshelves last fall; indeed the "makeover of Martha Stewart itself is a big hit," Naughton explains. Naughton goes on to explain that because Martha, 63, voluntarily went to jail, rather than remaining free on appeal to fight the issue into higher courts, her "comeuppance" was transformed into a "comeback." By going in to jail voluntarily, Naughton explains, "she tapped a dormant wellspring of sympathy"; after all, the "bad boys from Enron, WorldCom and Tyco" were all still "walking free" and Martha has never been accused of "bilking investors" or stealing from the company, the way the Enron, et al, executives are accused of behaving.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Martha Stewart has become one of the most famous self-made businesswomen (Slater 3). Her name alone is enough for people to recognize and consider the life she has made for herself. Not only has she revolutionized the business world, she has changed the way Americans cook, entertain, and decorate, more than any other entrepreneur in history. She succeeds at what she does, and has created a name for herself, which only few accomplish (Slater 4). She went from a career in catering to a billionaire. Stewart admits she never set out with a grand design for her life, and assures herself it "just happened" (Byron 107). However, it did happen due to her extreme drive, energy, and determination. She has revolutionized the role of women in the business world, and the lives of everyday Americans. She continued in her success until she made the forty-five thousand dollar insider trading mistake, but still, she didn't let that stop her. Stewart was on track to ruining her career at the height of her success, but soon found that she could help people and make a difference post negative publicity. She continued with her work and planned for her return. While Martha Stewart has had many unfortunate setbacks in her career, she has not once given up, but rather she continues to climb to the top and use every opportunity to build her media empire through revolutionizing the business world with her everyday image and simple principals which are useful to all new business entrepreneurs."

Christopher Byron?s ?Martha Inc.?, 2004.
This paper discusses four management principles related in Christopher Byron?s ?Martha Inc.: The Incredible story of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia?.
990 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Christopher Byron, in his unauthorized biography of Martha Stewart, ?Martha Inc.?, describes how the girl from a blue-collar, dysfunctional family from New Jersey worked her way to star status by recognizing opportunities and knowing how to capitalize on them. The author points out that, with a mindset of unabashed determination, the book shows another essential quality that a manager must develop in order to have a successful career: working hard; Martha Stewart would not have built her empire without working hard. The paper relates that Byron?s book shows the effects of Martha Stewart?s egotism and her desire for success at any cost; Along the way, she cheated her friends, lost her husband, and became known for her unscrupulous business practices.
From the Paper
"These management styles have put her at the top, but the final page has not been written. After Byron?s book went to press, Martha Stewart found herself in the middle of an insider trading scandal. The press reports seem to back up the other stories in the book. She has passed blame to her broker; then to the broker?s assistant. Her former business associates have not come forward to give accounts of Martha Stewart?s integrity. Her management style and her treatment of friends and family have left her alone to fight the charges filed against her. If there is any one thing to take away from the book, knowing what has happened since its publication, it is not to burn bridges and to treat subordinates, partners and coworkers with respect. Not doing so could undo years of hard work and certainly come back to haunt you."

Criminal Theory, 2006.
The paper explains the classical understanding of criminal theory, citing Cesare Baccaria, one of the founders of "classical theory". A case study of Martha Stewart is detailed and explained.

Abstract
The writer explains that according to Baccaria's theory, the purpose of government is to preserve maximum freedom while maintaining order. Under this theory of crime and punishment, the purpose of governmental intervention is to prevent the encroachment of individuals against each other's rights. The paper explains that the crime should fit the punishment. The writer brings the example of Martha Stewart who was accused of insider trading and securities fraud. The writer explains that it is difficult to prove what harm Stewart's crime did and therefore difficult to choose a fitting punishment. In conclusion, according to Baccaria's classical theory, Martha Stewart's punishments appear excessive for the system that they are engaged in.
From the Paper
"A good case examination of the classical theory in action can be found in our own country. America and its constitution were established with a heavy emphasis on the social contract. Therefore, our legal system is rooted in Baccaria's understanding of crime and punishment. One recent criminal case that gripped the minds of Americans was the "white collar crime" committed by Martha Stewart. This billionaire TV host and corporate giant engaged in what the SEC regulation committee called "insider trading", or trading her stocks based on information not available to the public. Her case is unique because it not only involves an extremely high profile defendant but the confusion of why and how she is guilty is an issue that is still to be resolved. The actual conviction that Martha Stewart could be going to prison for is not in fact insider trading at all, but "Securities fraud" a concept even more vague than insider trading. To understand her crime through the lens of the classical theory we must develop an understand for how her crime directly harms the people and why her punishment fits her crime."

On December 27th, 2001, Martha Stewart sold 3928 chares of Imclone. The problem the prosecution had with transaction was she sold the shares one day before the FDA announced it had rejected Imclone?s application for approval of Erbitux.

Martha E. Rogers, 2007.
A review of the life and career of Martha E. Rogers, the nurse said to have revolutionised nursing.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of people in healthcare. Specifically, the paper discusses the life of nurse Martha E. Rogers. According to the paper, Martha E. Rogers was a legendary nurse who is credited with creating modern theories which showed nursing was a science and a philosophy blended together.
From the Paper
"Her theories were radical for many reasons. When Rogers published her ideas, nursing and in particular nursing education was still seen as an analytical and mechanical process. It was a complex system that instructors attempted to reduce to many simpler systems when they taught students. Rogers had a more philosophical idea about the role of nurses and how nursing should be taught, which combined many areas of study, from anthropology to mathematics and astronomy. She felt instruction should include humanistic attitudes that would teach nurses to better interact with their patients, thus giving better care and gaining trust at the same time. Ultimately, as patients begin to trust caregivers, they can be more open and honest about their health concerns and the care they are receiving."
