Five Entrepreneurial Qualities of Brian Scudamore
Identify, Define and Describe the Company's Business Strategies
Four Strengths and Four Weaknesses of GOT-JUNK? Business Strategies
Five Ways or Approaches for Marketing GOT-JUNK?
From the Paper
"1-800-GOT-Junk is a Vancouver-based junk removal franchise. The company seeks out young franchisees and has strict performance guidelines in place for those franchisees; not to be overlooked, the company puts franchisees through a rigorous 9-day orientation and instruction program. The company also has a toll-free hotline for franchise owners and there is an expectation that franchise owners will share the corporate vision. Additionally, the company is looking at expanding internationally and it seems evident that founder Brian Scudamore has made a habit out of delegating responsibilities for opening up new markets (and presumably other important tasks) to people he trusts. The question now is whether the company can maintain its momentum ("Today the World!" 2006)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the nature, causes and effects and the technological and legal solutions to the increasing problem of the presence of space debris and junk in space. By relating the problem of space debris to a memorable current event, it informs the readers about the possible dangers that future space explorations might face if this problem will be left unsolved. It also looks how technological and legal solutions provide an implication that the problem of space debris are taken seriously by government and astronomical agencies because of the prevalence of mishaps and accidents that have been happening/occurring in space.
Outline
Introduction
What are Space Debris and Junk?
Effects and Threats of Space Debris and Junk
Technological Aspects of Resolving the Space Debris and Junk Problem
Legal Aspects of Solving the Space Debris and Junk Problem
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Space debris and junk can pose a tremendous danger to satellites and spacecrafts, whether these spacecrafts are manned or not. In a book entitled, ?Orbital Debris,? authored by the Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems, spacecrafts traveling in the lower Earth orbit, or LEO, are more susceptible to collide with smaller particles, with a one-millimeter diameter (CETS 1995 4). However, there is also a big chance that big-sized particles will collide with spacecrafts and satellites traveling along the LEO region. Collisions between spacecrafts and space junk usually happen in the LEO region because this particular region is highly-populated with space debris and junk. This is logical since most of the space programs and explorations that were conducted by nations on Earth are usually located in the nearest region away from the Earth, which is on the lower Earth orbit."

Junk Bonds, 2002.
Discusses the possible risks and potential profits of junk bonds.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the concept of junk bonds. It looks at the inherent risk of junk bonds, what factors determine whether a bond will be labeled a junk bond or an investment-grade bond, why they must offer higher returns to entice customers, and their viability on the investment front. The paper concludes with an overall positive, but cautious, assessment of junk bonds.
From the Paper
"The stock markets are the financial hubs of a country where businesses thrive on the value of their reputation and financial prowess. It is also a place where the investors are often duped by companies that try to create artificial value for themselves. Junk bonds are a consequence of this trend of many companies, which try to attract value to their bonds through false propaganda and enticing dividends. Similarly, the price of a share of even reputed companies depends on a variety of factors and hence, one cannot expect a steady price for a stock no matter how strong the credibility of the company is. This inherent unpredictability in the stock markets required for some kind of official standardization of the bonds so that investors could be forewarned about the performance and risk factors of a particular bond."

Contents:
Introduction
Leveraged Buyouts
Junk Bonds
Leveraged and Appropriate Risk
Analysis of Current Economic Trends
Business Within the Prudent Christian View
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Appropriate risk is basically self-defined: taking a risk that is suitable for the losses that an investor can sustain, their investment goals, and so forth. The risk should be based on an educated decision based on research, experience and thought. Greed dulls the senses and leads to poor decisions that could come back to haunt the investor, and opens up the possibility of being swindled by weak junk bond offerings. A simple, yet effective school of thought on appropriate risk says not to make a decision unless you know the leader (Anslinger, 1996). What this means is the ancient theory of caveat emptor, or let the buyer beware, is eternally true. Investors need to know who the real people are behind an acquisition or bond offering, study their track record, and weigh risk versus reward in the light of realism and educated decision making rather than a long-shot gamble, hoping for a big pay out at the end of the deal. The researcher would like to take this vantage a step further and urge that appropriate risk also take into account the effect of the buyout itself on the assets of the firm to be acquired."

From the Paper
"Michael Milken's vast and increasingly powerful junk-bond network fostered the "merger mania" of the 1980s, in which his clients, partners, and allies, among others, engaged in a wave of corporate mergers, acquisitions, hostile takeovers, and leveraged buyouts. By the end of the 1980s, the junk-bond market had grown to $150 billion in size, and Drexel Burnham had become one of the leading financial firms in the United States. Milken's own operations accounted for at least half of the firm's profits, and his own salary zoomed from $25,000 in 1970 to $550 million in 1987 (the highest annual compensation at that time) ("Leveraged buyouts," 2002, 4-5)."

From the Paper
" The purpose of this paper is to discuss the pros and cons of junk-food ads targeted at children under 10. Each year American's consume millions of dollars of what has come to be known as "junk food." The crowds of people that line up at fast-food restaurants to buy Big Macs and Whoppers are evidence that these products are growing in popularity. Americans have discovered the appeal of fast food. It is convenient (you don't need to cook or wait for hours to be served), it is relatively inexpensive, it has a pleasing flavor, and it does fill you up.
Fast foods are just one form of junk food. There are also the sugary cereals such as Frosted Flakes and Sugar Pops, dessert snacks such as Twinkies and cupcakes, and the salted snacks such as potato chips and Doritos. Many of these products have been around for a long time, some more than 20 years."

Introduction
"The purpose of this research is to provide an overview of the so-called junk bond market.

Junk bonds: a definition
Junk bond is the term used to describe an (1) original issue, (2) high-yield, (3) low-grade, (4) corporate bond (Weinstein, 1987, p. 76). In the context of high- and low-grade, this definition is generally applied so that the lowest ranked bond which would be included in the high-grade classification would be Moody's Baa (p. 76). Junk bonds thus, are generally..."

"Change in Europe: 200 to 800 AD
This paper will discuss the driving force of change in Europe from 200 to 800 AD. The main emphasis of this paper will be that change was the most significant force in Europe during this time period, rather than continuity.
In 200 AD, the Roman Empire had reached its zenith in terms of geographical area. In the south, Roman influence and control extended to the southern regions of what is now Algeria. In the east, the garrison town at Dura-Europos overlooked the Euphrates River. And in the north, the Roman army had established an outpost in Scotland. These outlying points marked the vague boundaries of the Empire, and the furthest reaches of Roman culture. Roman culture and society defined the world within these boundaries (Brown 11-12)."

Junk Food: The New Prescription For America's Health, 2005.
Argues that how much we eat is more important to our health than what we eat.

Abstract
This paper argues that it is the large portion size and calorie content of our meals, rather than eating health-foods versus fast/junk foods, that is the true causative agent of obesity and related health problems in America. The paper bases this proposition on research done in the field of anti-aging which shows extreme life-extension and health benefits in animal and molecular studies when calories are reduced by forty percent from normal. Furthermore, the paper proposes that Americans be educated from a portion-control perspective first and a healthy-foods perspective secondarily.

From the Paper
"Companies in need of raising capital can do so in two ways: one, they can sell equity to raise cash, or two, they can borrow the funds. If the company chooses to sell equity, it faces possible ownership dilution and a loss of control for its current owners. For this reason, it may be more advantageous for the company to seek borrowed funds. Two common sources of borrowed funds are loans and bonds. Loans are generally administered by banks or similar financial institutions; bonds are issued directly by the company to the bondholders. Because bonds are an important investment option held by pension funds, insurance companies and other institutional investors, the market has established rating systems for evaluating the attractiveness of bonds issued by various companies. Bonds which fall in the lower echelons of this rating system are called "junk" bonds. Such bonds.."

From the Paper
"This research examines leveraged buyouts (LBOs). Specifically, it attempts to determine whether or not LBOs are either good or bad for the American economy.
LEVERAGED BUYOUTS AND JUNK BONDS
LBOs and their effect on the American economy cannot be adequately discussed without also considering junk bonds. The reason for this necessary linkage is that junk bonds are used to finance LBO deals.
A leveraged buyout is one in which the cost of the purchase is largely borne by the firm being acquired. In most instances, these deals are structured to be financed by so.called junk bonds."
