Abstract
This paper is a case study of AT&T as the company goes through its third breakup in twenty years, announcing in 2000 that it would affect a breakup of its business into different units. The paper explains that this restructuring would create separate wireless, broadband, business long distance and consumer long distance companies. The paper shows how this restructuring mirrored the breakup of the Bell telephone company that produced AT&T and several other companies in the first place.
From the Paper
"AT&T announced in 2000 a breakup of its business into different units, a restructuring that would create separate wireless, broadband, business long distance, and consumer long distance companies. This restructuring mirrored the breakup of the Bell telephone company that produced AT&T and several other companies in the first place. This would be the third time in two decades that the company had been forced to split into separate entities. The company was also prepared to sell off its non-strategic assets. The intent was to emerge a learner company with a clearer core business mission. Technological innovation was clearly a goal for AT&T during most of its history and the company developed a large number of new products for use in homes, offices and other sites to give the consumer access to the latest in telephonic capabilities."

Abstract
This essay discusses the transformation of Europe by the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact and the reunification of Germany. It focuses on the roles of two determinants - nationalism and, to a lesser degree, economics in the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s.
From the Paper
"In the 1990s central and eastern Europe were transformed by the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, and the reunification of Germany. As communist governments collapsed across the region many social determinants, long suppressed by communism, regained their power to shape the lives of peoples in the region. This essay will focus on the roles of two such determinants - nationalism and, to a lesser degree, economics - in the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s."

Abstract
This paper argues that of the three causes of the Soviet breakup that have been offered, political, economic, and ethnic, the economic solution is the true one and crosses over the other two. The paper notes that 70 years of Socialist government had damaged the ability of the Soviet Union even to feed her population, let alone to cope with the many economic issues she had to face, especially with political decisions for increased spending on security and to counter the West, decisions which increased the amount of money that had to be spent each year.

Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses that the issue of stress and anxiety that is linked to relationship betrayal and breakdown poses a particular challenge to contemporary psychological and relationship counseling. The paper presents an overview of the problem of infidelity and relationship breakdown mainly in the context of modern developed countries like the Unites States - while reference is also made to the permutations of the problem in other countries in the world. The central focus of this paper, however, is on the way that stress and anxiety can be dealt with in the two gender groups. This refers to the differences and similarities in the way that stress and anxiety is experienced by men and women; and the way that they cope with the trauma of divorce and infidelity. The last section of the paper deals with counseling strategies and methods of dealing with this issue, as well as some theoretical stances and trajectories that has been found to be useful in this regard.

From the Paper
" The above view underlines a cardinal aspect of the way that divorce in particular, as well as other forms of relationship breakdown, negatively influences a wide circle of people. The effect that relationship breakdown has on the family and on children is a significant factor in determining the extent of the problem, in that these aspects can add to and increase stress and anxiety. In other words, in the assessment of the extent and range of the effects of marital breakdown, the other individuals who are affected beside the man and woman, tend to contribute to the overall situation and to the stress and anxiety factors. For example, children may become disruptive as result of the stress of the relationship conflict, which in turn leads to an increase in the problematics of the situation."

From the Paper
"AT&T (formerly American Telephone and Telegraph) is the world's largest telecommunications company providing services, products and systems to consumers, businesses, governments and other telecommunication companies. At one time, AT&T had the broadest, most advanced communications network in the world, and created Bell Labs, a premier manufacturer of telecommunications equipment. In 1984, AT&T was forced to divest into separate businesses; the company rebuilt its business to include long distance, computers and manufacturing. In late 1995, the company announced that it would divest into three separate companies along its business unit lines. This research examines the conditions which led to the 1984 breakup, and whether that divestiture benefited the American public."

Abstract
This paper relates that one of the most enduring questions regarding life, love, and the perpetuation of the growth of the individual through developed interpersonal communication, is whether or not there can be friendship after a romantic relationship has ended. This paper asserts that popular contemporary opinion, as well as anecdotal evidence, has a mixed answer. One side says a couple can never go from being lovers to friends and it's unhealthy to try. While still others say that becoming friends is the only realistic way to recover, in the long term and learn from what went right wrong in the relationship. However, the paper shows that there is also a popular idea that becoming friends after a breakup just depends on the individuals involved, the depth of the relationship, and the manner in which the relationship ended. This work reviews five scholarly research articles seeking out definitive qualitative and quantitative evidence for the answer to this question.
From the Paper
"The findings of the article lead some credence to the idea that the individual's level of distress post break-up and the eventuality of the relationship ending in the two people being friends has significant correlation to the length of time since the break-up, the level of health in the relationship, the perception of individual investment in the relationship and most importantly whether the two individuals were friends before they became romantically involved. The hints then that this work offer to the broader question is then relatively easy to assess, the most important factors in order are, if the individuals were friends before the romantic involvement, the time it has been since the relationship ended, and lastly the level of overall health and satisfaction that existed in the relationship while it was still intact. (Sprecher, Felmlee, Metts, Fehr & Vanni 791-809) The equation is then rather simple, if there is a basis for friendship, a healthy overall relationship and if enough time has passed there is a good chance that a post-relationship friendship will develop that could potentially lead to a lasting social development phase that helps both parties navigate the rights and wrongs of the relationship and possibly change themselves for the better, for the next relationship. The equation is the opposite, if it is to soon emotionally, the relationship was overall unhealthy and lastly if the two people have little if any basis for a friendship in the history of their time together then a friendship will not likely be even worth attempting.

Abstract
This literature review examines the relationships maintained by couples after they break up. The paper examines lesbian and gay relationships as well as heterosexual couples. In addition, it seeks to determine whether or not children have an effect on the contact the couple maintains following a relationship that ends. The writer found that very few studies exist on this topic and those that do are somewhat vague in their findings. This points to the need for further research in this area for future development of family therapy theories and outcomes.

From the Paper
"For many years statistics have been thrown about that included the belief that 50 percent of marriages today, end in divorce. Recently this number has been challenged and the result was a reduction in the percentage of married couples believed to end in divorce. At one point according to the new statistical information provided by the National Center for Health Statistics 43 percent of married couples will end in divorce in America. Even more recently the New York Times published a study that placed the number at 40 percent. While this is encouraging news for engaged hopefuls it still means that out of every 100 couples that get married, only 60 of them will survive the long haul of marriage(Divorce Stats http://www.divorcereform.org/rates.html). "The National Center for Health Statistics recently released a report which found that 43 percent of first marriages end in separation or divorce within 15 years(Divorce Stats http://www.divorcereform.org/rates.html)."

"Introduction
The modern industrial age has given rise to companies which span international borders and which can employ hundreds of thousands of individuals. There are considerable profits to be made in this global environment, and companies often seek to become as large as possible in order to realize economies of scale as well as pose significant competition to others. Monopolies and trusts have long come under fire from government regulators, and Microsoft is only the latest company to struggle against possible government intervention. But it is not always clear what the long-term ramifications of breaking up large monopolies will be. For example, the breakup of Standard Oil resulted in several large oil companies, including Exxon and Mobil, which are now considering mergers with other oil companies. This research ..."

"THE BREAK-UP OF AT&T IN 1981
Prior to the break up of AT&T, the telecommunications industry in the United States consisted of AT&T (the Bell System), and ?many franchised, independent telephone companies? (Seelman, 1984, p. 16). Although franchised and independent telephone companies were in the telecommunications market in the United States prior to the break-up of AT&T, the Bell System controlled in excess of 80 percent of the telecommunications market.
The dominance of the existing telecommunications market in the United States by AT&T provided a central motivation for the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department to pursue the action to force divestiture on AT&T. The rapidly developing changes in the telecommunications environment provided a second strong motivation.."

From the Paper
"Relationship breakups are one of those things in life that no one wants to experience, and when it does happen, the memory of it stays with us forever. Maybe if there was no possibility of a break-up, people would not be so afraid to enter a serious relationship; but break-ups happen and there are actually several factors that may determine the outcome of a relationship: love, self-disclosure, comparison level within the dyad, comparison level of alternatives, sexual nature of the relationship, length of relationship, time spent together, social network influences, etc."

"The Breakup of the Soviet Union
This paper will discuss the dissolution of the Soviet Union, focusing particularly upon the nature of the communist government and the effects of Mikhail Gorbachev's economic, political, and social reforms in the 1980s.
The Soviet Union was established in 1917 as a result of revolutionary developments in Russia dating back to the 19th Century. At the beginning of the 20th Century, Russia was essentially a feudal society, lagging economically and politically behind the countries of western Europe. A few individuals had been inspired by the American and French revolutions in the 18th Century to attempt to change the autocratic government of the Tsar, but had little support within Russia (Gooding, 1992, 38-39). The movement towards a more..."

"Introduction
The long distance telephone industry is an oligopoly with three major participants: AT&T, MCI and Sprint. These companies aggressively compete for market share and revenue in this industry, although AT&T is clearly the largest of the three competitors. The industry has been characterized by a great deal of change during the last ten years, and AT&T recently announced that it was adding to the confusion by breaking its three strategic business units into distinct companies. This research examines the nature of the long distance market, and the role that AT&T plays in that market.

The telephone is a ubiquitous instrument found in nearly every American home and business. It has transformed the world, effectively taking it a .."

"Since the breakup of the Soviet Union into individual nations, the region's economies have undergone severe changes. Centralized planning and state ownership of nearly all factors of production has given way to increased privatization. The region has witnessed some individuals who have made sizable profits as a result of the new policies, while other individuals have seen their standards of living decrease. The result is that the various nations are scrambling to establish monetary and fiscal policies that can help the various nations emerge from the 70 years of socialism and centralized planning into a new era. In the early years of the 1990s, the region witnessed high levels of inflation, economic disruption and upheaval, and increased scrutiny by outside economic forces, including the International ... "

From the Paper
"This paper is a consideration of Bell Atlantic?s strategic option of entering the long distance market. The recommendation for entering this market is supported by the financial evidence presented in the first part of the paper, which shows that even though Bell Atlantic?s Q3 loss was substantial, the growth in recurring revenues, core businesses, and new business products all showed exceptional growth.
The company section focuses briefly on the history of the company following the 1984 breakup, and concludes with a discussion of the analog-digital war. A market analysis section shows the size of the potential of the long distance market, and a SWOT analysis summarizes the company?s status quo in 1997, an essential consideration when pursuing a new entry."
