In any type of company, one of the significant challenges for leadership is connecting industry knowledge and business analytics.

Instead of relying on subjective sources, leaders can utilize business analytics to validate new ideas and test industry beliefs (Bartlett, 2013). A starting point for effective business analytics is to recognize that data and information are not ends ...

Pulp fiction eventually lost its popularity during World War II when paper rationing affected the population and movies, television, comic books, and normal paperbacks ( ...

One Determinant of Short-Term Liquidity Ratio

The single most important determinant of short-term liquidity ratio is that the current assets of an organization should be in excess to its short-term obligations, as examined by current and quick ratios. This is so because when an organization has more current assets than liabilities, it would be easier for the entity to generate revenue and repay creditors on time. Moreover, excessive short-term assets than obligations can also help the company finance its working capital operations efficiently. Because of this determinant of excessive current assets than obligations, an organization can provide higher safety margin to creditors’ investments .

1.0 Without putting the figures you cited into a spreadsheet, it is quick to appreciate the fact that the medical costs of obesity is clearly higher than the cost of implementing the research project.

A patient’s annual savings from obesity cost can virtually finance this project implementation estimate. However, it is unclear to us if the cost of implementing the proposed exercise prescription protocol (EPP) or the actual implementation of EPP by the patient, using the necessary equipment and ...

Western society (and to a lesser extent near-Eastern society as well) has felt the impact of the Classical world for thousands of years.

Although obliged to cover issues in their entirety, with no distortions made in the process, American media tend to misrepresent the reality, as was the case with the depiction of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime implications for the social welfare possibly for political reasons.

The knowledge of non-consequentialism and its principles, whether unconsciously or otherwise, allows readers to perceive ...
