Goodell's Press Conference, Richard C. Crepeau Sep 2014

Goodell's Press Conference, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

After last week’s debacles in the NFL and Goodell’s retreat into a cave somewhere, I read a number of references to Goodell as a Nixonian figure. These were amusing and vaguely resonant. Then came Friday’s Follies as Goodell surfaced publicly and assured us that he would not resign, that he would get it right, and that the NFL remained a moral leader that America could count on.

Nebraska Monthly Economic Indicators: September 19, 2014, Eric Thompson, William Walstad Sep 2014

Nebraska Monthly Economic Indicators: September 19, 2014, Eric Thompson, William Walstad

Leading Economic Indicator Reports

Summary: The Leading Economic Indicator – Nebraska (LEI-N) rose by 1.37% during August 2014. The rise in the LEI-N, which predicts economic growth in the state six months in the future, is the fifth in six months. The increase in the LEI-N represents a strong upward bounce after a decline during July. Taking to two months together, results suggest that Nebraska should experience solid economic growth during the first few months of 2015. Three components contributed to the rise in the leading economic indicator in August. Single-family building permits rose during August while initial unemployment claims declined. Both measures improved …

Accounting For Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities, Veliota Drakopoulou Sep 2014

Accounting For Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities, Veliota Drakopoulou

Business Administration - Worldwide

The goal of this research was to investigate the reasons behind the plethora of amendments of the FASB Accounting Pronouncements for Financial Instruments from 2002 to 2008. Entities have communicated their apprehensions that the existent disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, do not furnish sufficient input about how derivative and hedging activities influence an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Correspondently, in 2008 the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. The purpose of the study was to investigate the …


Alibaba Ipo, Steven D. Dolvin Sep 2014

Alibaba Ipo, Steven D. Dolvin

All Chapters

Most firms that undertake an IPO subject insiders (founders, initial investors, etc.) to a lockup period of, typically, 180 days. For Alibaba, this is not the case, which suggests that many additional shares could hit the market immediately after the IPO. This may mute the initial return that new shareholders could receive. See article here, WSJ.

Update: Even with insiders selling shares, the Alibaba IPO was well subscribed, generating a 38% return on the first day. Moreover, with additional shares sold (i.e., the overallotment option), the Alibaba IPO is reportedly the biggest IPO in history, raising $25 billion. See article …

Experiencing Business In A Whole New World, Usu Jon M. Huntsman School Of Business, Trevor Andersen

Jon M. Huntsman School of Business News Collection

My Go Global experience was something I'll never forget, and quite honestly, it has been all I could talk about coming back to school. To visit top-tier businesses in other countries, visit a country’s most sacred ruin, and finish it all up with a mini internship as a micro-finance consultant, was one of the best experiences of my life. There really is no other program that can give a cultural exposure, open up your eyes to global business, and help you see what value you can add to this world than the Go Global Program.
