[...] the myriad of emission-reduction regulations poised to hit an oil industry at the precise moment it struggles with a price collapse, coupled with Mr. Harper's bizarre campaign promise to block bitumen exports if the receiving country can't match Canada's refining standards are a double whammy migraine for this minister. Mr. Harper did everything but put a bullet into the head of Gary Lunn by demoting the Vancouver Island MP to obscure secretary of state for sports from prominent natural resources minister.

With less money coming into the company, AMD will retrench. As part of the austerity campaign, AMD will fill only "critical" job openings and shave $500 million from this year's capital expenditures budget -- a 20 per cent reduction.
I keep waiting for one of these companies to cry, 'Uncle!' " [Doug Freedman] said. "Until that happens, it's hard to recommend these stocks.
Investors seemed encouraged by AMD's cost-cutting commitment as AMD shares climbed 49 cents, or 3.8 per cent, to close Monday at $13.35 on the New York Stock Exchange. AMD's stock price has plummeted by about 60 per cent during the past year, a $9 billion drop in market value that has underscored concerns about the company's ability to withstand Intel's pricing pressure.

Adopting a governance perspective, this study analyzes the merger between closely-held Donohue Inc. and widely-held Abitibi-Consolidated Inc. Findings suggest that the absence of a controlling shareholder and weak board governance at Abitibi might explain both (a) its executives' interests in the transaction and (b) its CEO's compensation increase despite underperformance. Second, an intergeneration shift of control at Quebecor (Donohue's parent company) led to a strategic reorientation that (a) transformed Donohue into a target and (b) insured that Donohue's executives had incentives to pursue a deal. Finally, Donohue's noncontrolling shareholders benefited from the transaction while Abitibi shareholders experienced wealth reduction. The merger's aftermath provides some counter evidenc...

The paper describes the nature and role of accounting during apprenticeship - the transition period from slavery to waged labor in the British West Indies. Planters, colonial legislators, and Parliamentary leaders all feared that freed slaves would flee to open lands unless they were bound to plantations. Thus, rather than relying entirely on economic incentives to maintain viable plantations, the Abolition Act and subsequent local ordinances embodied a complex synthesis of paternalism, categorization, penalties, punishments, and social controls that were collectively intended to create a class of willing waged laborers. The primary role of accounting within this structure was to police work arrangements rather than to induce apprentices to become willing workers. This post-emancipation...
