Financing is an essential element for running any organization without which an organization cannot even be created. With many new organizations coming up and foreign companies entering into the market competition has touched its peak. This is valid even for scenarios where companies have to face a cut-throat competition to get the investors for themselves. New and booming startups have to compete with already establish companies where they are generally less preferred as an investment option by the investors who eventually choose big companies because of their return. Thus, new methods of financing such as crowd funding are making their way into present day business environment. Crowd funding has been positioned as a viable option in line with traditional methods of financing such as venture capitalism and angel investments. Crowd funding has gain popularity among new and inexperienced entrepreneurs and for getting money to carry out social, cultural and environmental projects. Various crowd funding platforms have come up with different pricing and operational strategies.

This article discusses and analyzes the most popular standards of non-financial reporting, which has a significant impact on the transformation of the business environment. Already, domestic and foreign companies with a high level of responsibility are beginning to publish non-financial statements in addition to financial statements, which is an additional tool for communication with stakeholders and a new source of information about their activities. To date, reports of this type are clearly unregulated, there are no verification standards, however, there is already a positive trend and the active introduction of non-financial indicators in the regular reporting of companies.

Traditional methods to prevent or to detect fraud seems to be ineffective for new types of fraud in the digital era. Therefore, new methods have been used to prevent and detect fraud.

As organisations need diverse and high quality IS/IT services to survive and excel in the rapidly changing business environment (Lacity & Willcocks, 2001), regular attempts have been made by organisations to sustain competitiveness through increasing their investments in IS/IT operations and resources. However, this has pushed for pursuing different options and alternatives as organisations strive to maximise their flexibility and control (Lacity, Willcocks, & Feeny, 1996). To accomplish this objective, more and more organisations are constantly looking to IS/IT outsourcing by external vendors as a viable option rather than pursuing in-house IT developments (Lacity & Willcocks).

Some of today's most successful Internet entrepreneurs didn't graduate from college. Many young people today followed the same path to pursue their dreams however ended up failing, not a surprise because 80% of the startups fail in first 5 years. As technology innovation and market competition on Internet continue to accelerate, college students need guidance and support more urgently now than ever before. Meanwhile most entrepreneurship programs offered in colleges and universities provide only general strategy-innovation-finance guidance for broad entrepreneurship while lack concentration on online startups or connection to Internet technology. We proposed a technology-business-environment model that could help guide universities in nurturing, building, and shaping their students' dreams and goals towards creating a successful Internet startup business. Finally, we demonstrated a course outline for an Internet entrepreneurship course designed for undergraduate students. Such course can be used as a core course in an entrepreneurship program or an elective course in Information Systems (IS), other sub-disciplines of computing programs, or business programs.

This article argues for adapting Porter’s Five Forces Model to strategic human resources management. The world business environment is facing real challenges: Shortage of talents, ageing of the world population, and disappearance of repetitive jobs. For a sustainable approach, the quality and stability of human capital should be analyzed strategically, based on the influence of five forces which act in the market: Competition in the industrial sector between specialists with core competencies (rivalry), demands of the hiring companies in terms of the number of employees and updated skills (organizations as buyers), recruitment companies and schools (suppliers), effects of globalization on people’s migration (new entrants), and modern technologies and innovation (substitutes). The stronger the forces are, the harder it will be for the organization to select or retain valuable employees who will add value to products/services. Actual and future employees should analyze the intensity of these forces when they plan to prepare for jobs or change their career. This analysis was focused mainly on the manufacturing sector, where jobs based on repetitive or dangerous tasks may disappear in time.

Subject India's corporate culture and its impact on government plans to attract foreign investment. Significance Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has made attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) a key plank of its economic policy. Yet the record of foreign companies investing in India, whether through joint ventures or wholly owned subsidiaries, is mixed. Impacts Malfeasance and corruption are an ever-growing risk to joint ventures, underlining the need for foreign firms to invest in due diligence. Modi's pro-business rhetoric will far exceed actual government efforts to curb corporate corruption until his term ends in mid-2019. This will not help reduce foreign companies' potential exposure to long and expensive legal battles. Business environment constraints will impede efforts to attract foreign greenfield and brownfield investment, rather than portfolio capital. This will compound other difficulties of operating in the Indian market, such as land acquisition problems.

AbstractThe twenty-first Century has been billed the era of “big data”, and linguists are participating in this trend. We are seeing an increased reliance on statistical and quantitative arguments in most fields of linguistics, including the oldest parts of the field, such as the study of language change. The increased use of statistical methods changes the types of questions we can ask of our data, as well as how we evaluate the answers. But this all has the prerequisite of certain types of data, coded in certain ways. We cannot make powerful statistical arguments from the qualitative data that historical linguists are used to working with. In this paper I survey a few types of work based on a lexical database of Pama-Nyungan languages, the largest family in Aboriginal Australia. I highlight the flexibility with which large-scale databases can be deployed, especially when combined with traditional methods. “Big” data may require new methods, but the combination of statistical approaches and traditional methods is necessary for us to gain new insight into old problems.

Carcinogen prediction in the laboratory: a personal view

Although carcinogens can be divided into various categories, i. e. viruses, physical agents and synthetic and naturally occurring chemicals, it is the latter that give rise to the greatest concern because of their number, quantity and distribution. Present methods of testing chemicals for potential carcinogenicity rely in the main on administration of these at maximally tolerated dose levels to animals, usually rodents, for the animals’ lifetime. Such tests would be economically impractical for all chemicals to which man is exposed. New methods have recently been introduced to screen large numbers of chemicals quickly and cheaply which rely on the unifying hypothesis that all carcinogenic chemicals are electrophiles or must be converted to such by metabolism. These methods will be reviewed and compared with traditional methods of carcinogenicity testing, particularly as to their role in attempting to predict hazard to man.
