Abstract
This paper explains that Halliburton, its subsidiaries, and subcontractors play a prominent role in Iraq by providing a wide range of services, including fighting oil fires, pumping oil, supplying soldiers with hot meals, shelters and beds, and transporting materials across dangerous stretches of road. The author points out that, while the company offers incentives for employees to work in Iraq, it is experiencing a high rate of employment turnover due to the dangers many employees face on a daily basis. The paper relates that, although the company has come under scrutiny in recent years due to its involvement with Vice-President Cheney and its accounting practices, it has still managed to win billion-dollar military contracts due to its expertise in the oil service industry.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Halliburton Oil is a "service firm for the oil and gas industry that currently has more than 24,000 employees and subcontractors in Iraq." The company, which was established in 1919, is based in Houston, Texas and "describes itself as one of the world's largest providers of products and services to the petroleum and energy industries."
The company was "headed by Vice President Richard Cheney before he accepted Bush's invitation to be his running mate in the 2000 presidential election. Cheney is credited with dramatically expanding Halliburton's operations by bringing in billions of dollars in new contracts, but has repeatedly denied any role in company operations after his departure."

Abstract
The process of globalization is a form of dialogue between an international business organization and another nation's economy and needs. Globalization involves combining existing business organizational structures with that of a new local culture. The tumult that occurs during an organizational expansion into a new economic environment can be difficult, but productive as well. This paper examines how Bank of America made use of a large, inexpensive, yet relatively well-educated English-speaking work force India. It embraced India's advantages and provided benefits for Indian workers, as well as educational, health and safety safeguards and financial opportunities. The paper shows that even Wal-Mart made use of a large population experienced in garment manufacturing on a mass scale in China and provided substantial benefits to the nation in excess to what the local populace was accustomed to receiving from indigenous companies. In contrast, the paper shows that although Halliburton in Nigeria also initially made use of a lower-cost English speaking former colony, it did so with less effective results because of a perceived insensitivity to national needs, such as its corruption and abuse of the local environment.
From the Paper
"Of course, there are not as many safety and security concerns in India regarding the local population in regards to the banking industry as there are with defense manufacturing. Still, it seems as though, because the company entered into the agreement with a spirit of respect, it has become one of the most popular of "foreign banks" that "are moving more money into India, lured by the rising incomes in Asia's fourth-biggest economy," combined with its cheaper sources of English-speaking and technically experienced labor. (MacDonald & Daga, 2003) Unlike Nigeria, the African nation's economy is not expanding at nearly as quick a pace, thus highlighting the dependency of the Nigerian nation upon Halliburton."

Abstract
This paper discusses the privatization of big business, especially in the case of Halliburton and ENRON. The paper discusses the way in which it has been a serious problem in the ability of bourgeois to create monopolies by having such massive financial control over the government and the result of a consolidation of mass production.
From the Paper
"Sociology and Economics: Understanding and Defining Capitalism Question 1: The tenants of capitalism emerges within social contract when a society learns to harbor and organize its laboring classes. In the Middle Ages in Europe the ability of mass production was not possible, with the coming of the industrial Age in Europe, the "guild system"--usually involving specialized trade and control of labor--became less efficient in producing goods on a larger scale. In this manner, a "free market" was controlled by those with capital or the ability the invest money into mass production methods. The social context of capitalism stems from a privatization of production, which essentially makes use of the common laborer as a 'commodity' within a system that is void of government or trade agreement controls. The older medieval system of government usually had peasants who worked the land for a lord as vassals. "
