» Clear communication facilitates effective risk management. Establishing clear and open lines of communication among interested parties across an organization helps ensure that certain risks do not fall through the cracks and that data and information flowing between business units (including, where relevant, external service providers such as the custodian, fund accountant, and transfer agent) are understood by all to mean the same thing. » Organizational structures and policies themselves can serve as risk controls.

During this process, a survey for leadership in project management is designed and sent via e-mail; telephone interviews are also conducted. After the response period ended, the data and statistics are collected, reduced and analyzed. For some of the surveys, several respondents did not reply or answered less than half of the questions. Those responses are reduced from the data, in order to maintain the authenticity and accuracy of the survey data. Then key leadership skills are introduced and generalized in a list for reference purposes. ...

E-tribes or virtual communities: whatever one chooses to call them, at least one thing seems assured. With 51 per cent of Internet users using the Web daily, and exponential global growth rates for new users, prodigious growth in the quantity, interests, and influence of virtual communities is guaranteed. Unlikely to replace physical encounters, or information from traditional media, online interactions are becoming an important supplement to social and consumption behavior.

Successful teams strike a balance between two conflicting attributes: individual initiative and group needs. On the one hand, each individual wants to believe that he or she has an opportunity to make decisions—the authority to apply his or her talents in coming up with solutions. On the other hand, the larger goal of the project rules, and each individual must work with the others as a single team.

Not only the aesthetically distasteful plastic litter, but also less conspicuous small plastic pellets and granules are a threat to marine biota. The latter are found in large quantities on beaches (Gregory, 1978, 1989; Shi- ber, 1979, 1982, 1987; Redford et al., 1997), and are the raw material for the manufacture of plastic products that end up in the marine environment through acci- dental spillage during transport and handling, not as litter or waste as other forms of plastics (Gregory, 1978; Shiber, 1979; Redford et al., 1997).

The US government has cut back on its reporting over time, and its web pages now do little more that report on current events. Unlike the Iraq War, there is no Department of Defense quarterly report on the progress of the war, and efforts to create effective Afghan security, governance, and development. There is no equivalent to the State Department weekly status report. Testimony to Congress, while useful, does not provide detailed statements or back up slide with maps, graphs, and other data on the course of the war.

The absence of a common definition of computer audit may, in part, be due to the relative newness of computer audit. The history of traditional auditing or inspection can be traced back many hundreds of years. In contrast, computer audit is a relatively recent development. It was not until the late 1970’s that the majority of major organisations in the UK established a computer audit capability for the first time. The use of IT in business is also a relatively recent development.

While peer-to-peer (P2P) video streaming systems have achieved promising results, they introduce a large number of unnecessary traverse links, which con- sequently leads to substantial network ine±ciency. To address this problem and achieve better streaming performance, we propose to enable cooperation among group peers, which are geographically neighboring peers with large intra-group up- load and download bandwidths.

The one-sided dependency on investment activity repeatedly subjects the ME industry to pronounced cyclic fluctuations in demand. The client companies’ investment decisions are a response to actual or expected changes in capacity utilisation, earnings, financing costs or general market conditions.

The ownership of listed companies in East Asia is typically concentrated in the hands of large shareholders. This concentrated control is achieved through complicated ownership arrangements, i.e., stock pyramids and cross-shareholdings.3 In this section, we discuss the forces that shape the ownership structure. We then discuss how the ownership structure shapes the firms’ agency problems, through its entrenchment and incentive alignment effects on controlling owners.

The Madoff case brought to the fore an essential development in the UCITS sphere: while the UCITS provisions on depositaries have remained unchanged, the investment environment for UCITS has evolved. UCITS are now able to invest in a wider range of financial assets, which may be more complex and also may be issued and held in custody outside the EU (for instance, in emerging markets); fund portfolios are increasingly diverse and international.
