problem-free. There are pointers to where companies face challenges and would benefit from exchanges of experience or pooled expertise. Among these are: • • Geopolitical challenges, especially in the emerging economies International competitors with lower standards of responsibility putting responsible companies at a disadvantage Tougher legislative challenges, and at the same time examples of disinterested or remote governments Leaders reluctant to lead from the front on corporate responsibility because

États des États-Unis par superficie. Les États-Unis sont composés de 50 États et un district fédéral, le District de Columbia. Les quarante-huit États attenants — tous les États sauf l'Alaska et Hawaï — sont appelés États-Unis contigus ou « lower 48 » et occupent la majeure partie du centre de l'Amérique du Nord. L'Alaska est séparé des États-Unis contigus par le Canada; ensemble, ils forment les États-Unis continentaux. Hawaï, le cinquantième État, est situé dans le Pacifique. La carte ci-contre

mathématiciens créent les bases des techniques quantitatives statistiques de la gestion. La méthode de Monte Carlo, initialement élaborée par les mathématiciens Nicholas Metropolis et Stanislaw Ulam en 1949, a été utilisée à cette époque pour le projet Manhattan aux laboratoires de Los Alamos. Elle est utilisée à outrance aujourd'hui dans la gestion des risques et la théorie du choix à avenir incertain. Dans les années 1950, les sociétés Dupont de Nemours et Remington Rand cherchent une technique qui permette

with Pfizer in Tokyo for what he thought would be another two-year period, after which he would return to academia. An early riser, McKinnell woke up between four and five in the morning and put in 11- to 12-hour days at the office. He lived in Manhattan and on the weekends went to a retreat home in Greenwich, Connecticut, where he enjoyed swimming, fishing, skiing, and bike-riding. An avid sportsman, he ran a full marathon while living in Japan and competed in four mini-triathlons in Greenwich.

the tribal areas are literate.) Those educated Bangladeshi women joined the labor force, laying the foundation for a garment industry and working in civil society groups like BRAC and Grameen Bank. That led to a virtuous spiral of development, jobs, lower birth rates, education and stability. That’s one reason Al Qaeda is taking refuge in Pakistan, not in Bangladesh, and it’s a reminder that education can transform societies. When I travel in Pakistan, I see evidence that one group — Islamic extremists

In 1939 Einstein went against his pacifist leanings to alert the American government to the possibility that Hitler and his forces were creating nuclear weapons. Initially sceptical, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt eventually conceded and the Manhattan Project materialised. This was the mission that saw the development of the first atomic bomb. The next year, Einstein became an American citizen. He was also a prominent member of the NAACP or National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

Carolina. Word has it they were trying to run away from a bad situation with their union. Word also has it that the union probably will catch up with them again in about five years or so. But meanwhile they'll have bought themselves five years of lower wages and maybe fewer hassles from the work force. And five years seem like eternity as far as modern management planning is concerned. So Bearington got another industrial dinosaur carcass on its outskirts and about 2,000 people hit the street. Six

solid, but some scientists believe that it is actually a very slow-moving liquid. How do we know any of this? Even the rocks spewed out of volcanoes have only come from the first 125 miles below the surface and it’s more than 400 miles before the lower mantle starts. By sending pulses of seismic waves downward and recording the resistance they encounter, both the density and the temperature of the earth’s interior can be estimated. This can then be matched to what we already know about the structure

tout, Auster lui pardonnerait et ils travailleraient ensemble pour sauver Peter Stillman. Il chercha dans les pages jaunes le cabinet de détective Paul Auster. Il n’y était pas. Mais, dans les pages blanches, il trouva le nom. Un Paul Auster à Manhattan, habitant Riverside Drive – pas très loin de l’immeuble de Quinn. Pas de mention d’un cabinet de détective, mais ce n’était pas en soi significatif. Cela pouvait vouloir dire qu’Auster avait tellement de travail qu’il n’avait pas besoin de faire
