Introduction This unit looks at equity finance – the range of equity instruments and markets available to a company. First, we look at private equity and the role of venture capital companies that provide such finance. We look at the mechanics of an initial public offering (IPO) and at recent cases of companies ‘listing’ on a stock exchange for the first time. We go on to explore certain important strategic issues for a business when considering equity finance:

Introduction The topic of ‘governance’ is one that has gained popularity, and the term is now used to embrace a range of concepts. This unit establishes some basic principles that will form the basis of your study. You will have the opportunity to consider how well these principles match up with your own observations of corporate organisations and behaviour This material is from our archive and is an adapted extract from Issues in international financial reporting (B853) which is no

Introduction In this unit, we emphasise the strategic importance of marketing communication, rather than seeing it as merely a tactical process of promoting the other elements of the marketing mix. Brands exist in the minds of customers not only through their experience of a product or service, but also because of the long-term effects of communication. Traditional marketing models fail to capture the complexity of contemporary consumer behaviour. Simple cause and effect can no longer be relied upon

Multiple Sclerosis - Cranial Nerves Exam - Trigeminal (CN V) Sub-exam - Patient 21
This is a 52-year-old white male with a history of bilateral optic neuritis presenting in his twenties who now reports polyextremity sensory motor disturbance. He also has diabetes. The patient reports bilateral upper and right lower extremity sensory and motor disturbance with a band-like sensation about his torso for the past 1-2 months.
Introduction ‘Environment’ is one of the more popular words in the management lexicon, most generally understood to be referring to ‘something outside’. But common usage today often interprets the Environment (with or without the capital ‘E’) as referring to the planetary ecosystem. On that basis the Environment includes such things as global warming, the state of the ozone layer, deforestation and the means of energy generation. Organisations need to coexist with their environm

Architecture
Are there beautiful and ugly buildings? Can you make buildings of curved glass? Should the green heart at the centre of the Randstad be built up or not? If you choose to study Architecture at Delft, then you are someone who is prepared to consider difficult questions. Difficult questions relating to form, constructions, technology and combinations. Architecture at TU Delft is both a creative and a technical subject. It is more than architecture in the narrow sense: the field ranges from the tech

1.3 Parallel and perpendicular lines
Attempts to answer problems in areas as diverse as science, technology and economics involve solving simultaneous linear equations. In this unit we look at some of the equations that represent points, lines and planes in mathematics. We explore concepts such as Euclidean space, vectors, dot products and conics.
Using your calculator
This unit explores reasons for studying mathematics, practical applications of mathematical ideas and aims to help you to recognise mathematics when you come across it. It introduces the you to the graphics calculator, and takes you through a series of exercises from the Calculator Book, Tapping into Mathematics With the TI-83 Graphics Calculator. The unit ends by asking you to reflect on the process of studying mathematics. In order to complete this unit you will need to have obtained a Texas I

Computer Science
Students are going to understand the structure of computer we use in our everyday life and study the relation between logic circuit, C Language and software.
Image Processing
The importance of computer-based image processing is growing more and more as digital cameras proliferate and use of the World Wide Web expands. Also, many people use image processing computer software such as Photoshop.
In this course, we will consider basic elements of computer-based image processing and aim to understand their principles. Through understanding the construction of functions implemented in commercial image processing software, we will work to learn practical basic knowledge so
Introduction The aim of Managing Projects through People is to demonstrate the importance of managing people for the success of a project, to identify groups and individuals whose appropriate involvement in a project is important for its success, and to consider ways in which their contribution might be maximised. This material is from our archive and is an adapted extract from Fundamentals of Senior Management (B713) which is no longer taught by The Open University. If you want to study form
Twitter For Educators
Twitter for educators provides good logic on why educators should use Twitter and how it can help them form a community, share resources, and meet people worldwide. This is a great resource to enhance technology instruction in the classroom and is an effective tool for school to home communication. (7:51)
