Exploring Accounting Careers (Career Information Series)

Book Description

Specialists and floor brokers, in direct contact on the trading floor, are at the heart of operations at the national U.S. equity exchanges. At the other end of the spectrum, electronic trading platforms characterize most other equity markets globally. Why have we not followed the international trend, and should we? Can the unique services offered by the floor be provided as effectively in an electronic environment? Which environment would institutional and retail traders each find most suitable to their special needs? These are some of the questions that will be addressed. In so doing, Electronic vs. Floor Based Trading will provide perspective on the future direction that exchange market structure is likely to follow in the coming years.

Book Description

The primary audience for this report is managers involved with the highest levels of the strategic planning process, and consultants who help their clients with this task. The user will not only benefit from the hundreds of hours that went into the methodology and its application, but also from its alternative perspective on strategic planning in South Africa.

This report helps executives evaluate strategic investment and entry alternatives in South Africa. In order to evaluate South Africa, Icon Group International, Inc. draws on a methodology developed by Professor Philip Parker at INSEAD in Fontainebleau, France. The methodology decomposes a country's strategic potential along two key dimensions: (1) latent demand, and (2) accessibility. A country may have very high latent demand, yet have low accessibility, making it a less attractive market than many smaller potential countries having higher levels of accessibility.

This report provides a strategic profile of South Africa along these lines. Throughout the discussion, literally hundreds of statistics on South Africa are benchmarked against regional and global averages. The reader can thus quickly understand where South Africa fits into the regional and global perspective. The report first investigates the economic fundamentals affecting South Africa. These fundamentals are the source for South Africa's latent demand. Then, the subsequent chapters detail South Africa's accessibility. This evaluation covers a number of entry alternatives, including export strategies, and local direct investment strategies. If a firm decides to have a local presence in South Africa, this requires a strategic understanding of local business conditions. The conditions investigated in this report include local marketing (advertising, distribution, pricing issues) and entry strategies (opening an office, joint venturing, etc.), as well as human resources management (labor...

Book Description

The Princeton Review realizes that acing the AP Chemistry exam is very different from getting straight As in school. The Princeton Review doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about chemistry--only the techniques they'll need to score higher on the exam. There’s a big difference. In Cracking the AP Chemistry, TPR will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and

• Score higher by reviewing key chemistry concepts
• Earn more points by becoming familiar with the format of the test
• Safeguard against traps that can lower scores
• Perfect skills with review questions in each chapter

This book includes 2 full-length, simulated AP Chemistry exams. All of The Princeton Review practice test questions are like the ones test takers will see on the actual exam, and every solution is fully explained.

Customer Reviews:

Raises your self-esteem...until you get your test results.......2004-08-09

Very easy to read, simple explanations, many exercises with a wide range of variables. Honestly, if you're taking AP Chem you should be able to do every problem in this book. While the book is good as a study aid, I felt it was pretty useless when it came to preparing me for the test which is VERY difficult.

Overall, the formulas are highlighted and easy to find, the exercise problems are creative but not too challenging. Good for the course but not the test.

Very good practice tests, but unhelpful summaries.......2004-05-15

Princeton Review's prep books are usually concise in their summaries, and this book was no exception. The summaries were not only short, but they missed out some of the important topics. Many sections merely consisted of a couple of equations and brief explanations. In short, the review sections were not very thorough.

However, I rate this book highly because of the excellent quality of practice tests and section review questions. Their questions, especially the free-response questions, cover the important concepts in a thorough manner and give good practice for the actual AP exam. Also the multiple choice questions were very helpful, unlike the Barron's prep book that had way too narrow and specific questions. Having taken the AP test a couple of weeks ago, I musyhave to say that the Princeton Review's questions came the closest to the actual AP questions.

So buy this book to practice solving questions, but don't rely on it to provide you with a good summary.

Helped me get a 3.......2003-10-20

Before I read this book I had very little knowledge of what chemistry was. I was completely lost--and never tried to catch up. In class I never knew what my teacher was talking about. Without this book I would have gotten a 1 on the 2003 exam; by using it for a few weeks before the test I got a 3. I know I would have done better if I had studied this book longer. It has a reader-friendly format and isn't quite as terrifying as Barron's, so it's a great last-minute review for procrastinators. I recommend that you use this book in conjunction with old AP tests, or use it along with Barron's if you have the time. Also this book doesn't cover labs at all--I recommend the Cliff's Notes for that. Don't forget to practice as many free-response problems as you can on the old AP tests.

Informative . . . if you're taking some other test.......2003-08-23

I bought this book because I only took AP Chemistry by independant study, and thought I should review sample exams in case my self-preparation had been way off-target. I was surprised by how easy the sample exams in this book were, and by the lack of depth in which it thought we should have studied various topics. I had hoped the book would include a list of the official AP Chemistry labs, so that I could at least review the concepts even if I was unable to actually perform them. However, this book asserted that the exam would only ask about "basic experiments and fundamental techniques," and its example lab essays only dealt with common-sense lab safety and simple techniques like titrations. And although I had studied the organic chemistry chapter in my textbook, this book predicted "very little actual organic chemistry on the AP test" and did not even include sample questions on this topic. But when I took the 2003 AP Chemistry exam, essay questions on both spectrophotometry, which is a rather specialized laboratory technique, and organic chemistry appeared. I was only able to get a 5 on this test because I had studied spectrophotometry in another science class and because I had completed most of my chemistry preparations without refering to this book, and so had learned the necessary subjects in much more depth than the Princeton Review deemed necessary. Both the multiple choice and free response sections of the actual test were significantly harder than the samples in this book. The study advice and sample questions in this book outline the basic areas of chemistry the exam covers and give the test's format, but are very misleading when it comes to the exam's level of difficulty.

Excellent - a must-buy for anyone looking to get a 5!.......2003-07-22

This was a truly amazing book and a highly recommend it for anyone looking to get a 5 on the AP test. The review sections are extremely extensive and concise, giving you only the information you need to get a 5, and nothing more. There is a test at the end of the each chapter, about 15-30 questions long (a perfect lenght) with free response questions and essay questions for the material if they apply. This was EXTREMELY helpful in my preparation, and I suggest you review the chapters and their tests twice, as I did. The free response questions are so similar to the ones found on the real AP test that the AP free response section was a BREEZE for me! Although the multiple choice in the book was not extraordinary similar to the one on the AP test, all of the ideas and concepts and reasoning was the same, and the multiple choice was not at all a challenge. Princeton Review stresses so many of the same ideas that appear on the test, I was truly amazed and remember thinking "Well, I'm glad Princeton Review went over this concept a million times!" or "Good thing Princeton Review really got that stuck into my mind."

This book my only study guide, and I used it very well, having been in a chemistry class with a horrible teacher. I completely and 100% credit this book for getting me the 5 that it did (I just got my score back today!). I started studying for the test early, in late Febuary, and I would recommend going through the entire book twice. This book was amazing, and I am so happy with its results!

Book Description

In recent years, the main research areas were photonuclear reactions and meson productions by using the first high-duty tagged photon beam and the TAGX spectrometer. Although this field is developing quite rapidly, the synchrotron was closed in 1999 after 37 years of operation, and these activities continue at new facilities. It was therfore a good time to discuss the present status and future directions of this field at this occasion. The Symposium was attended by 85 physicists and 35 talks were presented. This book contains the papers presented in the scientific program of the Symposium.
