Legal Aspects of International Marketing Trade and Enterprises

Question: Describe about the Legal Aspects of International Marketing Trade and Enterprises. Answer: 1. BHP Billiton is a multinational company which engages in mining and petroleum activities. Headquarter of BHP Billiton is in Melbourne. In 2011 it became the largest mining company in the world. The Strategy of BHP Billiton is to own upstream assets for the long term and with the maintenance of low cost (Australia Business Review, 2014). The Purpose of this company is to create its shareholders value by the discovery, acquisition, development and marketing of natural resources.oil, gases and energy coal. The Company is the largest producer in the world of iron ore, metallurgical coal, copper and uranium and also has interest in the oil, gases and energy coal. The Strategy of company is based on diversification: commodity, geography and market (BHP Billiton, n.d.). BHP Billiton is a company which is dual listed (DLC). It includes BHP Billiton Limited and BHP Billiton Plc. In 2001 this company was created from the merger of 2 companies that is BHP Limited which is now known as BHP Billiton Limited and Billiton Plc which is now known as BHP Billiton Plc. The Company operates in Metal Mining Industry: Australia is one of the largest producers of the world of mineral products. It is the largest sector with almost 700 companies which are involved in exploration of minerals. In this sector worlds largest companies are operating such as BHP Billiton Rio Tinto. This industry is depending on the equity markets for the capital they required. Since 2009 Investors in Australia support 270 new resource floats. There are various reasons for listing of companies engaged in Metals Mining are listed on ASX: for accessing the capital from capital market. In this market there is a wide range of institutional investors and retail investors. for providing opportunities to SMEs. it is a developed market in major mining regions in the world (ASX, n.d.). BHP Billiton provides many opportunities for career development. They seek people who have skills and provide an opportunity to work with their company. Following are the number of employees from 2012 to 2015 in Australia is (Statista, n.d.): YEAR NO. OF EMPLOYEES 2012 19305 2013 21977 2014 23048 2015 21428 Globally 80368 employees and contractors are working with BHP Billiton (BHP Billiton, n.d.) Location of global headquarter of BHP Billiton: Headquarters of BHP Billiton Limited and global headquarter of BHP Billiton Group are situated in Melbourne, Australia. Headquarters of BHP Billiton Plc is situated in London United Kingdom (BHP Billiton, n.d.). 2. Framework related to Royalty payable to State Government: there is brief tax information of Australia regarding mining activities. When company faces problems related to an economy at the time when mineral prices rise, that time government depends on mining companies for cover the shortfall of tax revenue. Let start the discussion with the brief knowledge of Royalty; Royalty is the amount payable by the mining company to the state government or territory from which company extracts the minerals. Rates of Royalty are not same, every state territory has its different rates. Many states imposed flat rate or rate which is profit related, but most states impose ad valorem Royalty and on an FOB basis (ICLG, 2015). Following are the facts on the tax rates of Australia: The CIT rate is 30% in Australia. There are two types of mineral taxes applicable in Australia: State royalty- state royalty is paid at state level. It is paid on the basis of the volume of minerals extracted. Rates applicable on different minerals are: Copper: 2.7%-3.5% Gold: 0%-2.5% Iron Ore: 6.5%-7.5% Coal: 7.0%-10% The Amount paid for royalty is deducted in the calculation of CIT. Minerals resource rent tax (MRRT): MRRT is paid on the federal level. It is paid on the basis of mining profit. It is apply to coal and iron ore (bulk commodity) in Australia from 1 July 2012. Rates applicable on different minerals are: Copper: N/A Gold: N/A Iron Ore: 22.5% Coal: 22.5% The Amount paid for MRRT is deducted in calculation of the CIT. Social contribution is necessary in Australia for mining companies (PWC, 2012). Annual report of 2015 of BHP Billiton shows the amount paid by the company to the government. In 2015 company paid globally US$7.3 billion by way of taxes, royalties and other payments to governments. Companys global effective tax rate was 31.8% which is higher than the income tax rate of OECD. Companys total contribution to the economy in 2015 was US$35.7 billion (BHP Billiton, n.d.). As per the annual report of 2015 company paid US$5245.0 to the Australian Government by way of taxes, royalties and other government payments (BHP Billiton, n.d.). There are some negative effects also of payment of royalty on the side of company, royalty impact very badly on the profits of companies which result that Australia becomes less attractive for companies engaged in mining activities. Chief executive Brendan Pearson said that Australia levy high tax on mining industry as compared to other countries and as per the analysis of MCA 47.1% profit of mining companies are paid in taxes and royalties in Australia. It also affects the investors of mining companies also because such high tax jurisdiction also affects the funds and profit of investors (Ingram, 2015). The Introduction of Mining Tax: presently mineral taxes such as royalty are paid by the company to the State Government Territory on the basis of the minerals extracted by the company from that state or territory. When minerals cost is high in world still royalty payment had not increased. 40% of profits are paid by the company in 2001 to the state government, but presently share of the profit paid by the company is less than 20%, which increases the need for new tax. The Mining tax is also known as the Resource Super Profit Tax i.e. RSPT (Mining tax facts, n.d.). 3. Before discussing the agreements, treaties and conventions related to products and services of BHP Billiton, first discuss the meaning and importance of treaties and agreements. An agreement under international law which is entered between sovereign states and international organizations are known as the treaty. It is also known as the international agreement between international parties, protocol, covenant exchange of letters. Usually treaties are compared to contracts because as contracts in treaties also parties have obligations and if parties failed in fulfilling their obligations, then parties are liable under international law. Following are the treaties which affect the goods and services of BHP Billiton: Japan Australia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA): The Partnership of Japan and Australia is most important for both the countries in respect of economic and strategic interest. Australia is a bigger supplier of Japan for minerals and energy and of food products also. In 2014-15 Australia was Japans 2nd largest trading partner and also Japan was the 2nd largest importer of Australia. Japan was also 2nd largest direct foreign investor in Australia. They strengthened their relationship by entering into an agreement known as Japan Australia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA) which was forced in 2015, January (Australian Government: Department of foreign Affairs and Trade, n.d.). Provisions and conclusions of this agreement are announced on 7th April 2014 in Tokyo by Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Shinzo Abe. In Canberra prime ministers of both the countries signed the agreement on 8th July 2014. JAEPA is very liberalizing agreement conducted by Japan. Both the countries are natural partners. This agreement provides Japan an opportunity from export natural resources from Australia (Australian Government: Department of foreign Affairs and Trade, n.d.). JAEPA affects the exporting of our company. Iron ore can be supplied by the company to Japan as per this agreement. This agreement gives economic benefit to BHP Billiton because of increment in trade of goods of high quality. Australia-India Joint Free Trade Agreement (FTA): There is viding growth in the relationship of India and Australia in recent years. In last five years, trade of goods and services is increased annually by 24% in 2008-2009 to US$16 billion. For building more strong relationship both the countries work on FTA in 2008. This agreement covers trade in all goods. This agreement removes restrictions in foreign investments. It also works on increasing transparency and gives strength to the mechanism of investment protection. This agreement helps both the governments in the growth of their economy. Following are the elements of terms of agreement: Benefits arrived by both the governments through FTA. To enhance the accusation of goods, services and investments through FTA and also solve issues related to intellectual property, sanitary and phytosanitary issues. For the expansion of trade in goods through liberalization. For the expansion of services in various sectors including labor, mutual arrangements, etc.. Create a favorable environment in both the countries for investment purpose. In Australia, FTA is a comprehensive agreement but in India FTA covers only goods (Australian Government: Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, n.d.). AMEC Convention 2016: This convention was held in Crown Perth from 8-9 June. The aim of this convention was to instigate the issues faced by companies and organizations engaged in mining activities in Australia. This convention was organized by the AMEC (Association of Mining and Exploration Companies). AMEC is the body in Australia for the mining industry. AMEC is the nonprofit organization and works for the benefit of the mining industry. AMEC bring together presenters of this industry from all over the world and speakers from all the levels of government (AMEC, 2016). Australia and the Antarctic Treaty System: A set of the agreement governed the activities in Antarctica and near seas between many nations and that set of the agreement known as Antarctic Treaty system. It consists four agreements: 1959 Antarctic Treaty 1972 Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Seals 1980 Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources 1991 Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty These agreements are legally binding on three aspects that are political, geographical environmental. These obligations are applicable to all the companies which signed this agreement. Australia is also the party of this agreement. This treaty has following principles: Freedom of scientific investigation and the exchange of scientific findings Non-militarisation of Antarctica and the southern ocean (Australian Government: Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, n.d.). These treaties ahs direct effect on the mining and metal industry because these treaties cover the goods and services which are provided by the BHP Billiton. References: AMEC, (2016).

Bright and Dark Side of the Romance of Leadership

Question: Critically evaluate the bright and dark side of the romance of leadership? Answer: Arnold Henry Glasgow explained that people often think that credit and earning recognition matters. But its not about the credit or the earning it is mostly about taking the blame and sharing the credit. It is a leader who leads his group or team, so he is responsible for all the actions and reactions of his team. Both the input and output of any operation is decided by a leader, one wrong decision and that leads to a low productivity. Low productivity or getting lower than the expected is considered as a failure. Its not about blaming but to rectify, to comprehend what has gone wrong with the Endeavour a leader takes the initiative to find out. On that very step the leader finds out what has been wrong, the procedure, the people or the product itself. A leader leads; he is being followed by his subordinates. Thus a leader has to be careful in every step, because he is being trusted and blindly followed by his group men. (Northouse, 2004). There starts the impending journey of leadership. This is where the Romanticism of leadership is experienced. The quality approach on leadership which attempts to comprehend when and why we become familiar with the leaders is known as Romance of leadership. It deals with appreciating the leaders for influencing and changing our societies. Leadership has both optimistic and pessimistic outcomes in an organization. If an individual is considered to be a successful leader then his or her personal difficulties and poor organizational performance may be ignored for a certain period. This defines the Romance of Leadership and criticizes the approach of bright and dark side of romance of leadership (sage publications, Inc, 2012). The Romance of Leadership was introduced as one of the overtly follower centric approach to balance many leader centric approaches that dominated leadership research and practices. The Romance of Leadership approach helps to highlight the esteem, stature, magnetism, and heroism attached to diverse forms of leadership. Leadership is a preferential illustrative class for understanding political, organizational, military, social and regional outcomes. Meindl theorist in Leadership found out that a heroic conception of what leaders and their leadership is virtually a concept that will remain beyond grasp of the best scientific outcomes, particularly since the initial purpose of scientific research is to technically resolve the mysteries (Bligh, Kohles and Pillai, 2011). Social inference is what leadership means. Construing leadership as an explanatory category, Calder and Pfeffer treated leadership as one of the ways in which people understand the causes of important organizational event s and outcomes. In this perspective, leadership events like successions appears to be largely symbolic, spreading a sense of comprehending and manage over critical problems that require explanation and demonstration and receptive action. In procedure of socially construing organizational situations, the romance of Leadership conflicts that the notion of leadership is raised unprovoked status and significance. So far, the discussion has always been about what good qualities a leader should possess and the fantasies of leadership. There also exist the dark sides of leadership. Researchers also provided their overview on Destructive leadership. (Meindl and Ehrlich, 1987). By focusing hugely on characteristics of the leader, they stated that leaders are responsible for harmful outcomes in organization. Many conducted surveys suggested that aversive leadership and destructive leadership more broadly is a complex process resulting from the confluence of leaders, followers, and the environ ment of the organization. Destructive leadership includes a wide array of labels describing various forms of harmful leader behavior. Tepper defined abusive supervision as the degree to which superintendents engage in the continual display of hostile oral and non verbal reactions, not including physical contact. To this context another concept coined as leader bullying was explained by Buckley and Harvey as deliberately chosen diplomacy of influencing by leaders intended to portray a specific image and place goals in a compliant, ineffective position goals. (Thoroughgood, Hunter and Sawyer, 2010) With the recognition of dark side of leadership as a significant branch of research, many researchers have sought to discuss caustic brands of leadership in terms of negative life ideas and dispositional traits such as narcissism. Narcissism is a psychological perception of being in the pursuit of gratification of vanity or egoistic. This is in general considered as a negative trait, but now a days modern concept says narcissism may be considered as a positive trait to a certain level. Professor Dr. Emily Grijalva (from University of Illinois psychology) found that narcissists have a gaudy sense of their own self-importance and an embellished need for others respect. She also explained that generally narcissist can be anxious with belief and fantasies of their massive power, attractiveness, intelligence and success. Through her research she found that although narcissist are more expected to appear as group leaders but after a certain point it is possible to undermine a persons effic iency being a leader. (PhD, 2015) In a research presented by Professor Mark Stein, it has been found that a self centered leader can actually possess two kinds of narcissist behavior those whose poise results to benefit the organization, and those whose egotism is actually disparaging. The research states that those with firm tendencies of narcissism are often drawn to leadership profile, out of a need for positions and power. Interestingly this trait can be both favorable and destructive for an organization (ScienceDaily, 2015). Although psychologists have immense awareness about leadership, people who make resolutions about genuine leaders seems largely to disregard their accumulated perception. Leadership is persuasion and not dominance; people who can entail others to do obeying because of their powers, are not leaders. Leadership is not a mandate acquisition of the authority; it approaches when others keenly adopt, for a certain period of time, the goals of a group as their own. So leadership is all about problem solving, organizing, clarifying, informing, monitoring, networking, team building and rewarding that is expected from the first line of leaders.

Research Paper on Skateboarding

Research Paper on Skateboarding Life is full of adventures and surprises. Being able to find out what you do best is very exciting. Many people work at jobs they hate, and some people live the life of their dreams. Considering that I don’t want to become a person doing something that they dislike for the rest of their lives, I have already found what I love to do and what I will do for the rest of my life. Skateboarding is very challenging, and I always like a challenge. Whether it’s learning a new trick or doing a trick over an obstacle, it’s all challenging. Trying to learn new tricks is hard, but in the end, it is never regretted. Landing new tricks was the most fun; however, it took lots of patience and work. After landing tricks, or just skating around, you start to make new friends. A lot of people notice you if you land a big trick, and then you start to get noticed. Even if you don’t skate big obstacles, you still make friends. Every time I go skate, I prepare myself for the new challenges, tricks, and friends to meet because skateboarding is a way of life. Skating alone is very hard; furthermore, making friends helps a lot. Making friends is a must, and it is very easy. Everybody is pretty much friends with everybody. Age doesn’t matter, because we all have one thing in common, which is skateboarding. No one has to be the same age to have fun with someone else doing the same thing. I have friends that are 7 years old to 30 years old, and neither one is more important than the other; however, sometimes the older skaters can drive you around to other skate spots, but that still does not make anybody more valuable than another. I can just film somebody else, help somebody else, or applause for someone when they land a trick, and a friend is made. Skateboarding brings a lot of people together. Just riding around on your skateboard is fun; however, learning to do some tricks is a lot more fun. That is exactly what I do everyday when I go skating. This makes skating so much more fun. Learning new tricks can be hard, but in the end, it’s very much worth it. When I first started skateboarding, I learned an ollie, which is the very first trick you learn because it is the most basic and is used to learn every other trick. From there, I would just watch skateboard videos and try to learn from the pros. Until I could do a trick, trying to figure out how they did it was the hard part, but when I finally found out how it was done I would become excited and try to land it for hours. Whenever I would land the trick, I’d become very proud of myself and practice the trick more. When you land a trick you have never done before, it forces you to want to learn more. After you learn a trick you can show it to friends and show off if you wanted to. It’s just so much fun to learn new tricks. New tricks can be made up or you can just learn tricks that have already been made. Skateboarding has an endless possibility of tricks to be made. There are just so many variations of one trick, or sometimes you can mix two or more tricks together and you just go crazy with it. When you learn new tricks, you can bring those tricks to new obstacles which make skateboarding even more fun. While learning new tricks, of course, there are harder ones and easy ones. That is what makes skateboarding challenging. Once you learn a trick, you usually will take it up a notch and try it down a bigger stair set, or try a bigger handrail. When you have friends around it helps to get you pumped up; however, sometimes you can get nervous if too many people are around because you don’t want to fall and embarrass yourself, but its all part of skateboarding. I love to try new tricks on new obstacles, because when you land it, feel like you are the best and you can learn anything. The challenge makes it harder; moreover, also makes it more worth it when you land it. If there was no challenge, then it would get boring For instance, once you learn a kickflip, you will be happy that you can land it on the flat ground. Later on, it will get boring, and also get very easy, so then you would try it down maybe a 4 stair. That makes it harder because you have to catch the trick in midai r and keep it underneath your feet. When you land, the impact is much greater; furthermore, you will need more balance when you land and you have to be ready to absorb the impact. Just picking myself up and trying to land the trick over and over makes you want to land it more and when you do, the feeling is indescribable. Anything is possible in skateboarding. I always keep these words in me, â€Å"Where there is a will, there is a way†; because it helps me realize that you can overcome any challenge that is blocking your way. Trying to become the best of your ability is the most fun, yet is also the hardest challenge there is. Just being able to keep making skateboarding harder and giving yourself a challenge once in a while is fun. Discovering skateboarding was the best thing that has ever happened to me. I started skateboarding, because I loved it, and that’s how you progress, loving what you’re doing. The days that I don’t skate I am preparing myself for the effort it takes to pick myself up and try a trick over and over again till I land it. I think when you land a trick, that is what keeps you going in skateboarding; likewise, makes you want to go pro, or make you want to go even further in skateboarding. It makes you go beyond your natural abilities and make friends along the way. Just being able to jump on your board, make new friends, do whatever you want to do, no one telling you what to do or when to do it, and knowing when you land a new trick, you conquered your board, your board didn’t conquer you.

The Art of Data Visualization Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

The Art of Data Visualization - Essay Example For example, rotating and rearranging flowers on Photoshop could add a new meaning in art. Both artists use a similar technique to display their skills. They use computer programs like Photoshop to create and alter figures, shapes and sometimes images of real persons. However, their work is quite different to one another. Golan Levin uses data to visualize things on computer software Joshua Davis maps the drawings onto a computer. Holism is referred to parts of data that is summed up into a whole. It establishes that the whole is greater than parts as a whole helps to give a better and clearer picture. The creativity of both the artists relies on the whole, which is showed through parts of pictures, figures or data of any sort. Sometimes data is too complex to be analyzed by traditional applications because of the size and magnitude of it. Such types of big data are broken into parts, just like shown in the art of Golan Levin and Joshua Davis and then analyzed after being arranged. One really interesting work by Golan Levin shows the visualization of data in terms of music. Music is displayed in the form of shapes that changes as the beat, rhythm and volume of the music changes. For example, a triangle would become bigger if the volume of the music is raised (Levin 0 min. 33 sec.). The artist might have tried to experiment with the music stabilizer that shows the velocity of volume and bass in music. It  is not something new as mostly we all know or have seen a music stabilizer. It is an instrument that indicates how high or low the music is playing on rhythm and base. However, Golan Levin adds creativity by combining music with shapes. In order to recreate the project, I would use a computer and some software to make changes on one of the current projects by Golan Levin. I am interested in experimenting with the hidden world of noise and voice project of his in which he uses different shapes to indicate music. I would like to replace
