1. The first issue is whether the trial court erred in denying Greer's motion for summary judgment on the grounds that Mr. Austin's will contest was barred by T.C.A. § 32-4-108 (Supp. 1991).

Clarkson Lumber Company’s biggest problem by far is the fact that Mr. Clarkson had agreed to buy out Mr. Holtz for $200,000 with semi-annual installments of $50,000. It wasn’t necessarily a bad idea for Mr. Clarkson to buy out Mr. Holtz altogether, but the $100,000/year of payments is an unrealistic amount for Clarkson Lumber at this point in time. Between 1993 and 1995, there hasn’t been a year where they have realized more than $77,000 in net income, so the payment of $100,000/year is clearly unrealistic and a sure problem for the company. Another problem, which isn’t nearly as important as the former, is that net income is growing

The purpose of this research is to rationalize an amendment to the Constitution of the United States forcing Supreme Court Justices into a medical review to determine if the Justices are physically and mentally able to continue to serve their tenure. The focus is to create a half way point between two opinions in the very controversial subject of the Supreme Court Justices tenure. As the Judicial Branch becomes more active, citizens have questioned the rationale of justices serving for life, while others maintain that there is no need for change. The middle ground purposed is the establishment of a medical review of the justices and the hard part is establishing when they are medically unfit to serve. Considering the Constitutional purpose

3. How should Mr. Myers explain his futures losses to the board on August 27?

On the contrary, Epperson took extreme measures to reassure its concealment to the point of institutionalizing their version of the Iron Curtain. Tactically distributing certain financial information across several key players effectually eliminated any individual exploring the larger picture. The reason for such an extreme veil of secrecy undoubtedly originated from the enterprise operating as a Schedule C organization, thereby integral to the owner’s federal income taxes. And although management competence appeared marginal at best, they displayed remarkable ability to control employee interaction with Christine utilizing an originative mix of fear, coercion, and intimidation. Douglas McGregor would label this supervision style as Theory X decades earlier, yet its effectiveness in private industry had long ago proven inefficient and flat-out counterproductive. Mutual assurances allowed executive bonuses to continue flowing in spite of dwindling financial performance over the years. Notwithstanding other anomalies exceeding the scope of this writing, the author’s reverence for the founder, Uriah Spray Epperson, could have been greater as highly innovative and sheer genius of his day. Indeed, the company operated as his proxy in the management of the reciprocal insurance association known as Lumberman’s Underwriting Alliance

According to Jick and Peiperl (2011) Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC) hired James Shaw and Amy Middelburg to help them with their partnership with AIESEC. Each business was categorized by its own set of problems. Their former organization’s budget was smaller along with their previous leadership roles. At PwC both of them are at the bottom in a bigger company, and are dealing with problems with the government. Also, before they joined PwC both them held leadership positions, as stated by Jick and Peiperl (2011) they joined PwC to become a “staff number in a database” (p. 463). They were worried about the company’s image. Middelburg and Shaw analyzed the vision and values of PwC to see what it was at that time and they were

Cohan, also the author of “The Last Tycoons,” a 2007 book about Lazard Frères & Company, gives us in this book a shuddery, almost microscopic account of the 10, vertigo inducing days that disclosed Bear Stearns to be a fragile house of cards in a perfect storm.

Eisman is like the little reminder that pops up along the way to let Macbeth know that he is not on the right track: it is called a conscience—and Macbeth finally squashes it out of himself. Eisman, Lewis shows, has been the voice of conscience on Wall Street for some time, admitting to the unconscionable—whether the head of “a large U.S. brokerage firm” or “the president of a large Japanese real estate firm”—that their own dealings fail to make any sense. In the world, there are two types of people, those who say yes and everything else you want to hear—and those who say the truth. Eisman, however, is the latter type.

During the decline of the company’s bottom-line, WorldCom upper-level management feel the financial pressure to provide favorable results to the shareholders. In addition, WorldCom’s acquisition of Sprint is temporarily halted. Two of WorldCom’s mid-level managers, Troy Normand and Betty Vinson rectify part of the problem with decreasing line costs by increasing assets. The pair feels guilty about their transgression as well nervous over the impending deadline. An additional problem emerges and the two reach out to CFO Scott Sullivan for further instructions. He instructs Normand and Vinson to fix the remaining errors with using the company’s excess reserves. Sullivan mentions that the error can fix itself over time as long as everything matched up with the expectations of auditors and Wall Street. The guilt between the two mid-level managers continues to grow, but Sullivan praises their work and loyalty to the company. In fear of losing both their jobs and financial security, the pair complies with Sullivan’s order despite their better judgement (Alvarez 2013).
