The Two Sides of Corruption in Russia Corruption in Russia has been prominent since it was legal in the 17th century‚ when the tsar’s officers were allowed to take bribes. It was then illegalized‚ however never quite faded away especially during Soviet times when the conditions of the living people were harsh. It is still prominent in Russia today since the new capitalist country has not fully moved on from its socialist past. Understanding the historical content of corruption is critical in order

Electric cars vs the gas oh line cars In the next ten years what the average American drives will be very different than today. Electric cars may phase out gasoline (Gasoline is also known as petrol) in the next couple of decade. Electric cars produce no tailpipe emissions and are much cheaper to fill up than the more common gasoline vehicles. Switching to electric cars will have more benefits than drawbacks in comparison to other fuels such as petrol and diesel. In order to switch to electric

tough business environment. In four years‚ he reinvigorates GE’s technology‚ expands its services‚ develops a commercial focus‚ pushes developing countries‚ and backs "unstoppable trends" to realign GE’s business portfolio around growth platforms. At the same time‚ he reorganizes the company‚ promotes "growth leaders" into top roles‚ and reorients the culture around innovation and risk taking. Finally‚ in 2006‚ he sees signs of growth‚ but wonders whether it is sustainable. General electric: Headquarters

Chapter 1 The History of Electric Transformer INTRODUCTION: Transformer is a device that transfers electric energy from one circuit to another‚ usually with a change in voltage. Transformers work only with a varying electric current‚ such as alternating current (AC). Transformers are important in the distribution of electric power. They raise the voltage of the electricity generated at a power plant to the high levels needed to transmit the electricity efficiently. Other transformers

Introduction and Experimental Goal: An electric field surrounds all electrically charged particles. With electric fields‚ one can determine the effects of all of the charges in the environment. In this lab entitled “Electric Fields and Potential Mapping”‚ the main goal obtained was to examine and deliberate the effects of an electric field and electric potential. Examples of some effects of electric fields include resultant forces‚ changes in motion‚ changes in current flow‚ etc. By using conductive

PROS AND CONS OF UNDERWATER WELDING To briefly present the advantages and disadvantages of underwater welding let us first separate this two compound words‚ the UNDERWATER and WELDING. Underwater is anywhere where this is water‚ either in low or in deep aquatic areas. Now‚ Welding is the action of burning something (particularly a metal) into creating or fixing something with the use of a high temperature to burn down or melt a metallic material so that it can be reformed. Combining this two concepts

IKEA IN RUSSIA INTRODUCTION Today‚ we present our analysis of the adaptation of a multinational in an emerging country. We chose to study the Ikea’s case because the company is the leader in the field of interior design and furniture. In addition‚ we chose to focus on the implementation of Ikea in Russia because the cultural differences between Russia and Sweden are important. This cultural distance shows the importance of brand policy and how it could have an impact on sales as well as

Should Cooper acquire Nicholson? Why (not)? Cooper Industries has been pursuing a policy of expansion through the acquisition of other companies and this strategy appears to be working well for them. They have acquired a number of companies and have been successful in integrating them into Cooper Industries. They have established three criteria that potential companies for acquisition must meet and Nicholson meets all three criteria. Nicholson holds 50% of the market share in files and rasps‚ its
