From our call with GFR Admin, here were the discussion points brought up by Karen Farrell: 1. Scanner Options – Are there any other scanners to choose from besides the one we are currently using.…
In the classic boomerang, a violation against human rights is committed by the state causing internal and external protests to occur, the state is then pressured to succumb to the demands of the people and enact change (Godoy, Feb 07). When applied to the Wells Fargo/Seattle case the boomerang misses the initial step because abuse has yet to happen and the final step because Wells Fargo did not follow the demands of the protestors. In Latin America, the boomerang was a powerful tool used to tackle civil and political rights violations. One such occurrence was in Guatemala, where Nike contracts factories to make their apparel.…

Fontaine and Gaudin did not really object successfully or forcefully to the hardball tactics employed by Hauptmann and Zinnser. However, they were correct in noting the extreme importance of this contract for Pacific Oil, and some contract with Reliant, even a bad one, is likely better than no contract at all. Even so, Fontaine and Gaudin were not nearly forceful enough, and should have noted that they were making significant concessions already and were unwilling to go further. Hauptmann and Zinnser were using hardball tactics, and their style can thus be described as competitive.…

Recent developments have not aided their case. In the ensuing essay, I will evaluate various aspects of the business as well as explain where this hatred is stemming from.…

It has earned successful achievements and growth from the size and diversity of its asset base including insurance, gas and electric utilities, rail roads, wholesale distribution, manufactured housing and many other specialty finance companies. Looking at the number of acquisitions made by Buffett, this indicates something remarkable about Buffett’s management and governance approach. Unlike what has been typically adopted in the corporate world, Berkshire Hathaway takes on a non-traditional laissez-faire and trust approach – a hands-off management style that requires minimal guidance from leaders and provides employees…
