Abstract
This paper contends that the various changes seen in the world order over the last ten years, which include the globalization of production and consumption and the structural changes, which have occurred in inter-port relations, port-hinterland relations, and logistics, have made the role of ports significant as very important nodes in the global transport system. Under such circumstances, port productivity has a significant role in the consideration of management of ports.
From the Paper
"The rapid rise in the competitive nature of the marine transportation sector has given cause for the demand in the increased requirement for port productivity. To this end a number of quantitative measures were developed for the assessment of port productivity. However there are problems that have arisen in these quantitative measurements of port productivity. Physical and institutional factors or both these factors working in tandem limit the productivity of every port. Productivity comparisons in relation to ports may cause misplaced attempts to improve the productivity of particular operational elements in a bit by bit manner. In contrast the better way to do it would be to develop a strategy for managing productivity that would involve the linking of productivity and cost data in such a manner as to shifting the existing productivity constraints from one are of operations."

"The emergence of important cities and industrial belt along the Yangtze is closely related to shipping on the river. By transporting raw materials, components and finished goods to and from industrial bases, the river plays a vital role in Yangtze region today. Statistics shows that the Yangtze Rivers carries 80% of the iron ore, 72% of the crude oil and 83% of the coal demanded by large factories and enterprises along the river. In some provinces and cities, more than 80% of foreign trade relies on the Yangtze River. Moreover, the transport of liquefied petroleum gas, chemicals and asphalt, as well as ro-ro transport, are also developing rapidly."
"According to the Yangtze Administration of Navigational Affairs, cargo throughput on the Yangtze reached 990m tons in 2006, 3.5 times as much as in 2000, and 3.8m TEU, 5.6 times higher than that of in 2000, making it the world's largest river in terms of freight volume."

Abstract
The paper explains that every company that is publicly traded or incorporated must file an annual report that gives a summary of its financial history over the past year. It shows that an annual report is a useful tool for determining the fiscal health of a company; many persons use this information. For example, a potential lender will look at this report to determine if the company is a good financial risk. Stock analysts use it to predict trends and individuals use it to decide if they want to buy or sell a stock. This paper explains the elements of an annual report and shows various methods of analyzing it. It then proceeds to take a look at an actual annual report and discusses the results of that example.
From the Paper
"Industry comparisons are useful in determining whether a company is in line with others.4 Some industries have typically lower profit margins than others do. For instance the airline industry runs on lower profit margins than the restaurant industry. The airline industry?s expenditures are much higher as compared to its revenues as compared to running a restaurant. Profitability must be compared over a period of time to try to predict trends. Then these trends must be compared to its competitors, the industry in which it operates, and the markets as a whole to determine if the trend is due to factors effecting only that company or if they are due to general economic conditions beyond the company?s control."

The author describes the companies and the physical appearance of the annual reports and uses tables to compare statistical data. The author evaluates the data and explains why 2006 was a better year than 2005 for both companies.
From the Paper
"Big Rock was founded in 1984 in Alberta, filling a niche for an uncompromising brewery. The company's beginning period was not a very bright one, as sales were quite low. In 1986 Big Rock began producing the Pale Ale and McNally's Extra. These products doubled Big Rock's sales. Big Rock started to expand its market place into the United States, becoming a publicly traded company in 1993. The company's success can be attributed to the production of world class natural beers, and to the quality of the company's employees and products (Big Rock, 2007)."

From the Paper
"New York City is generally considered the doorway to America. It is the largest city in the nation, seven million strong, and a main hub of financial activity. This is probably the most racially and ethnically diverse of the large American cities, the epitome of the melting pot. A third of the population is of African descent, fifteen percent are Jewish, twelve percent Hispanic. Other ethnic populations have a vocal presence, including the Irish, Italian, Chinese, Korean, Indian, and other Asians. If one city has represent urban America over the last 200 years, it would be the harbor city of New York, New York.
" Across the Atlantic ocean lies another city, a little farther from the ocean, though not much. It is the ?fair city? of Dublin, that capitol of the Republic of Ireland. This is a fairly heterogeneous city, for it is the center of 4,000 year old struggle for cultural sanctity and independence. The vast majority of the citizens are Irish or British nationals, Christian and white. Most are Roman Catholic, and the largest ?minority? are the British Protestants. One fourth of the citizens of Ireland, approximately 900,000 souls all told, now live in Dublin and its suburbs, and its name is becoming synonymous with Irish culture and tradition."

"The Land Use Coding Manual has classified land use based on the people-oriented activities. A port or harbor should meet this expectance, that the land use should be maximized in a concentrated manufacturing center, which will give sufficient income not only to the harbor but also to the local people. In the more detailed plan, ports and harbors are usually planned to be the good housing and within convenient public access for cargo, shipping, fishing and docking business, and other related industries. Any decisions have to refer to support this goals, such as infrastructure development, providing effective traffic line in the area, closing less incompetent facilities and deciding which area will be the center of public, recreational, and/or manufacturing activities."

The Enron Annual Report, 2007.
An analysis of the Enron Annual Report of 2000.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines the Enron report's sections on ethics, corporate responsibility and the organization's policies. The paper shows how the report was simply a fabrication of the truth, published for the stockholders and board members. The paper relates that if there is anything to be learned from Enron's failure, it is what not to do when rising to the top of the corporate ladder. The paper exhorts all business executives not to take their leadership and power for granted and not to use their power for evil gains.
From the Paper
"This report notes that 2000 marked many changes in the Enron Corporation. They published their first Annual Report, and they even created Corporate Responsibility Task Force. One wonders just what the Task Force actually did, and whether they reported to the Arthur Anderson auditors or Kenneth Lay directly. Whatever they did, they obviously did not accomplish many goals, as the organization's leaders took the company from success to failure in just one short year, and ruined the lives and livelihoods of thousands along the way. If there was any corporate responsibility in reality at Enron, it certainly did not exist at the top, and so, this attempt at placing Enron in a good light is simply a waste of ink and paper."
