There are a number of benefits that money laundering provides to criminals. First, by using the money to fund legal activities, money ...

Derivatives are important tools in the financial markets because they help reduce investment losses resulting from the fluctuating interest rates. For example, Societe Generale lost about $7 billion following the 2008 property market crisis, which could have been much higher if the company did not hedge its funds. Credited default swaps (CDS) or credit derivative contracts on mortgage-backed securities played a major role in the development of the housing bubble in the American property markets. The swipes were widely used to insure debts using subprime housing securities in the property markets. Swap derivatives can be defined as a series ...

One of the most elongated conflicts in the world has surely been related to the Jews and Arabs over the territory that defines the modern state of Israel. What many people fail to notice is the gravity of the conflict and how the conflict surely is not recent.

Her study found that occasionally, negative emotions such as frustration and aggravation found their way into the work environment. Intelligence, determination, vision and ...

Van Knippenberg et al. (2015) address the challenges that modern organizations face in sourcing, managing, and utilizing information in their systems of operations.

Whether by force of stereotypical perception or the prevalence of such interpretation I the political discourse, people have always perceived racism through the prism of economic and legal mistreatment of black people. However, people can maltreat their own fellow countrymen with skin color other than white by disposing of hazardous toxic waste in immediate proximity to their area of residence.
