1. What do you think have caused the collapse of Barings? Different elements are at the root of Barings’ collapse. Those elements deal with four fundamental Organizational Behavior frameworks/concepts: “congruence model”, “coaching the alpha male”, “motivation” and “corporate culture”. Congruence model The Barings’ case is a perfect example of the consequences that incongruence, or lack of alignment between strategy and the four organizational building blocks (critical tasks and work flows, formal
In this report, I will be discussing the formations of tuff rings, tuff cones, and a variety of spectacular geologic features that can be seen in the Southern Oregon area (near Silver Lake); including Hole in the ground, Fort-Rock, and Table-Rock complexes. To begin, we will start with the background of how tuff rings and tuff cones are formed. Hydrovolcanic eruptions are some of the most violent spectacles, each generating hundreds, or even thousands, of explosions throughout the course of its eruption
Rogue waves are very large, like mountains of water. They are often 100 feet tall. Rogue waves do not follow regular wave patterns and are unpredictable. Scientists believe that there is a pattern, but have not found it. This means that there is only one wave at a time, and do not come in a series
Control Environment The control environment is a very important part of businesses because it is the foundation of the internal controls. It determines whether the ethical values, procedures and rules that provide reasonable assurance control objectives are met. If a business has a poor control environment, their business will not last very long, like Barings Bank. Internal Control Weaknesses From the beginning of this situation, the control environment was weak due to hiring untrained and young
Section #1 Nick began a clerk and worked at many banks. He eventually began his career at Barings bank. His talents were soon recognized, leading to his swift promotion to the trading floor of the bank. Quickly following his promotion Leeson was sent to Singapore. While there, he was given a management position and was in charge of expanding markets on the Singapore Monetary Exchange; Nick was making millions for the company. He made this money by betting and predicting the direction the Nikkei
What is amazing about Leeson’s activities is the fact that he was able to accumulate such staggering losses without the management of Baring’s noticing. Leeson had various roles to play within BSS; he was the general manager, the head trader and the head of the back office. Usually different people perform these tasks, but Baring’s management failed to see the conflict of interests befalling one undertaking multiple roles . Leeson had control over both the trading desk and the clearing and settlement
The expanding global market has created both staggering wealth for some and the promise of it for others. Business is more competitive than ever before, and every business, financial or product-based, regardless of size or international presence is obligated to operate as efficiently as possible. A major factor in that efficient operation is to take advantage of every opportunity to maximize profits. Many multinational organizations have used derivatives for years in financial risk management activities
The study of popular culture is incomprehensible without the examination of the representations in the mass media, such as television shows, music videos, advertisements, films and so forth. The Bechdel Test is a tool that allows for such an examination be conducted. Anita Sarkessian in her infamous blog Feminist Frequency suggests that The Bechdel Test can be used to gauge not only female presence in films, but also the representation of minority individuals. Both versions of the test consist of
seeks to determine if rogue states are more aggressive in challenging other states’ claims to territory in comparison with non-rogue states. Rogue states are defined as those, which methodically violate accepted international human rights norms of gender and ethnic nondiscrimination and protection from state repression.

At the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the Haitian Revolution and the Latin American War of Independence, the 1823 United States Gazette estimated that almost 3,000 attacks had been made on merchant ships by pirates inhabiting the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Piracy in this region not only contributed to financial loss but frequently, murder and torture were seen as well. The 1820s was comprised of a resurge of pirates who had not been seen since the days of Blackbeard and Bartholomew Roberts
Dr. Strangelove is in itself one of the most interesting pieces of cinema in the history of the medium. It captures a moment in world history, and the fear and hysteria that was associated with it, and translates it into the darkest of comedies. Kubrick came of age after World War II and the beginning of the Cold War, and like many others during this time period, he suffered immense anxiety about the potential for nuclear war, fearing that his hometown of New York could be a likely target, and even
stern governor of St. Helena whose priorities were to ensure captivity of his infamous prisoner. The island, isolated and only having a few safe harbors and a coast of cliff sides, was guarded by a garrison of 2,800 men and 500 canons, a Royal Navy squadron of 11 ships patrolled the shore constantly. Napoleon himself was secured within the confines of the Longwood's estate, a refurbished mansion within the interior of the island. The estate was heavily guarded, any visitors were thoroughly searched
there is more to the world than he knows. This leads Mr. Doctor on a path to humbleness and a quest to expand his mind, funny enough, as well as his possibilities. While the movie prompts questions about mortality, Kaecilius and his antagonistic squadron of ‘Zealots,’ fanatical students of the mystic arts who turn to him as their leader in order to further their knowledge and abilities, are disillusioned by Dormammu. But as Strange learns how to come to terms with his own mortality and begins to
A St. Lawrence Skiff is a rowing vessel between 18 and 22 feet long, about 4 feet wide in the middle and pointed on both ends. It weighs at least a couple of hundred pounds and is the perfect rowing craft for the strong currents and choppy water found in the 1000 Islands. Hughie had told me about their double-oared skiff called Helen during lunch at the picnic table. Following our softball game a few days after the fishing marathon, Hughie suggested that we take a row to town to load up on candy
