This research aims to know the influence of net profit, cash flow, and the size of the company against the return of shares in food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia stock exchange (idx) either partially or simultaneous.
 In this study used methods of empirical research. The variables examined, namely net profit, operating cash flow, cash flow, cash flow investment funding, the size of the company and the return of shares. The population used in this study are food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia stock exchange (idx) as many as 12 companies. Data collection techniques in the study done by examination of the documents tracing the company's financial reports, namely food and beverage in 2010-2014 in BEI's official website (www.idx.com). 
 The results of the research that havedone, then multiple linear regression equation is obtained as follows: Ŷ = 0,266418 – 0,065069 X1 - 0,008726 X2 – 0,011104 X3 X4 + 0.458 X5. A classic assumption test results it can be concluded that the Gaussian normality test, does not occur multikolinieritas, heteroskedatisitas not happened and there does not occur autokolerasi positive or negative, then the regression model BLUE (Best Linear Unbiased Estimator) have been done. Testing the hypothesis partially independent variables indicating that the size of the stock return of influential companies, while the other independent variables showed no effect on stock return. From the results of the calculations through eviews 8 can be seen that the value of F is calculated values 0,04078.. Thus that variables namely net profit, operating cash flow, cash flow, cash flow investment funding, and total assets are jointly significant effect against the return of shares. The results of the analysis of the coefficient determination R2 is 0,188660 .This means the influence of the variable net profit, operating cash flow, cash flow, cash flow investment funding, and total assets against the return of shares is 18,87 %, while the remainder (100% - 18,88 % = 81,12%) can be explained by other free variables such as cash dividends. The results of the analysis of the obtained number R of 0,3734 then compared with the value of the correlation coefficient interpretation table 0,3734 been 0,20 – 0,400 this indicates that the relationship between the dependent variable against the independent variable is weak.

Objective: to prove the necessity of timely disclosure of information on corporate sustainability at the present stage of society development for evaluation of the results of its functioning by stakeholders. Methods: monographic, analysis and synthesis, comparison, grouping, detailization and summarizing, historical and logical analysis. Results: the aspects of performance reporting are studied; the basic international and national documents regulating the aspects of reporting information on the sustainable development the company are viewed; principles of reporting are listed; stages of reporting on the company sustainable development are described. According to the authors, the company reports must include information on the following indicators: indicators controlled by the company should be reflected in the performance indicators; indicators with a larger share of the company's influence should correlate with information about the approaches to its management; the descriptive material should include the indicators which are not under the control or significant influence of the company, but which may be associated with key issues due to the significance of the impact of these units. The report should cover all institutional units. Indicators of economic efficiency in the analysis of sustainable development differ from traditional financial ratios, calculated on the basis of its accounting (financial) reports. The main purpose of the development and analysis of indicators of economic performance is to reflect the company's direct or indirect impact on stakeholder interests. Scientific novelty: extension of conceptual approaches to the formation of and reporting on the company's sustainable development to the stakeholders. Practical significance: provides a more complete, balanced and accurate information about the company's activities to stakeholders, that builds its business reputation.

The vehicle routing problem with drones: several worst-case results

In this paper, we introduce the vehicle routing problem with drones (VRPD). A fleet of trucks equipped with drones delivers packages to customers. Drones can be dispatched from and picked up by the trucks at the depot or any of the customer locations. The objective is to minimize the maximum duration of the routes (i.e., the completion time). The VRPD is motivated by a number of highly influential companies such as Amazon, DHL, and Federal Express, actively involved in exploring the potential use of commercial drones for package delivery. After stating our simplifying assumptions, we pose a number of questions in order to study the maximum savings that can be obtained from using drones; we then derive a number of worst-case results. The worst-case results depend on the number of drones per truck and the speed of the drones relative to the speed of the truck.

Drivers of Global CSR Integration and Local CSR Responsiveness: Evidence from Chinese MNEs

ABSTRACT:What drives Chinese MNEs’ global CSR integration and local CSR responsiveness? Drawing on institutional theory, we argue that both antecedents reflecting globally isomorphic patterns of adaptation and antecedents mirroring the distinct characteristics of China’s institutional context are relevant. We support our argument using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis on a sample of 29 of China’s globally most influential companies. We find that state influence and global CSR associations affect global CSR integration, whereas presence in the West and internationalization through mergers and acquisitions predict local CSR responsiveness. Our study thus suggests that home-country characteristics are an important co-determinant of the CSR approaches of emerging-market MNEs. We further find that multicultural experience in top management teams is associated with both global CSR integration and local CSR responsiveness, supporting notions of transnational CSR.

GAFA speaks: metaphors in the promotion of cloud technology

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore persuasive rhetoric by critically scrutinizing metaphorical devices utilized by leaders of the cloud industry. This paper introduces a critical approach to the promotion of cloud technology.Design/methodology/approachIn total, 13 video clips from YouTube were analyzed, containing presentations and talks delivered by leaders of Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon – four of the most influential companies within the information technology industry, sometimes referred to as GAFA. With the help of conceptual metaphor theory, often-repeated metaphors for cloud technologies reveal what properties were promoted and hidden.FindingsGAFA mainly used the same persuasive metaphors to promote cloud computing’s positive aspects. Potentially negative or complex issues were mostly avoided. Cloud technology was uniformly described in metaphors of control, empowerment, transformation and automation. Implicitly, GAFA exerts power through the extensive dissemination of their metaphors and these are used in order to negotiate and overcome doubts about cloud computing and related technologies.Originality/valueThis is the first study aimed at understanding the persuasive rhetoric of GAFA, seen as a uniform object of study.

The Founding of Apple and the Reasons behind Its Success

Apple Corporation is one of the most profitable, and socially influential companies that ever existed. Its products are in homes, businesses and entertainment venues. It constantly brings out new high-tech tools to the consumer electronics market, the most recent one being the Apple Watch. The creation of this company is more humble, and is the result of a conjuncture of various factors that have converged to create a unique environment. It all started with a group of amateur electronics enthusiasts. Smart individuals, an engineering-oriented social environment, business angels willing to invest in a new start-up company, and the developments in technology appearing at the right time and place have all contributed to this creation. It took engineering knowledge, visionary management and a business outlook to succeed. Individual entrepreneurs and developing countries carefully study the reasons behind the success and influence of Apple, so that they could recreate the conditions for imitating similar successes for themselves and their countries. Especially universities are encouraged to launch start-up companies and dive into the commercial world. Techno-parks are built to imitate the achievements of garage founded companies such as Apple. In this study, the perceived and deducted reasons for Apple's success are examined using an opinion survey, and accounts of the founders are examined and conclusions are made based on this information. The results show that the perceived and true reasons for Apple's success may be very different and that a legendary image of the company with an ardent fan base may obscure the true reasons behind its success.

Strategic planning and organizational flexibility in turbulent environments

Purpose – The main purpose of this paper is to address a key issue in literature on management and foresight: the author explores how firms might cope with the increased turbulence of the business environment. Design/methodology/approach – This paper is based on a multiple case study of major firms of the energy and the mobile communication industries. Findings – The focus is on strategic foresight and organizational flexibility: the author introduces the concept of “boundary uncertainty” and investigates its managerial implications. Originality/value – The main contribution of this paper is to expand our understanding of environmental uncertainty and to reinvigorate the study of strategic decision making in turbulent industries. The author provides descriptive data on the foresight approaches that some of the world’s largest and most influential companies used throughout the 2000s for remaining aligned with their fast-paced environments, and thus informs the debate between the “planning” and the “learning” schools of strategic management.

Voluntary information disclosure on social media

Companies are increasingly using social media to communicate with consumers, and the content of those media affects consumer decision making. We investigate the adoption of new communication media (social media, mobile apps, email alerts, etc.) by companies to disclose company news to consumers and investors. Using a cluster analysis, we group companies either into a cluster with high adoption of new media or into one with low adoption, based on their use of new media for disclosure. We find that a company's voluntary information disclosure on social media is positively related to its adoption level of new media. Our findings suggest that the engagement of information disclosure on new media increases a company's influence and reach.

Simulation Model of a Passive Decay Heat Removal System for Lead-Cooled Fast Reactors

The generation IV lead cooled fast reactors are of particular interest for the Italian research: several influential companies (Ansaldo Nucleare, ENEA) are involved in these important European R&D projects. At present, one significant European project in progress is lead cooled European advanced demonstrator reactor (LEADER) which includes, among its goals, the construction of a lead-cooled fast reactor demonstrator, advanced lead fast reactor European demonstrator (ALFRED). The demonstrator has to include technical solutions that simplify the construction phase and assure full safety in operation; according to the latest guidelines, ALFRED final configuration will be characterized by a secondary loop providing bayonet-tube steam generators. The authors have addressed the issue of bayonet-tube steam generators proposing the external boiling bayonet steam generator (EBBSG) system, in which the reaction heat is extracted from the lead by means of coolant under vapor phase. This is possible thanks to an external feed-water boiling, based on the known Loeffler scheme, coupled to the bayonet tube concept. In the present paper, the authors propose a decay heat removal (DHR) system to match the EBBSG scheme. The DHR system is fully passive, exploiting natural circulation phenomena. The performance of the proposed DHR system is investigated through a Matlab-Simulink model. The results are satisfactory since, according to the simulations, the proposed DHR system is able to keep the primary coolant temperature within a safety range for a sufficient time, avoiding the lead freezing or over-heating.

Knowledge dissemination patterns in the information retrieval industry: A case study for automatic classification techniques

Patents provide valuable information to identify flows in the transfer of technical knowledge and assess the innovation capabilities of the actors involved in different industries. Patent citations are also recognized as a valid tool to measure the impact of innovations and to identify key influencers in diverse activity sectors.This study analyzes a collection of U.S. patents granted in the period between 1990 and 2012 for the subject “automatic document clustering and classification”, a key technology within the Information Retrieval and Text Mining disciplines. The purpose of this research is to identify – using citation analysis – the most productive and influential companies and journals, and the patterns followed in the transfer and sharing of technical knowledge. The paper identifies the most productive organizations (those that have been granted a higher number of patents) and those with a higher impact (organizations whose patents have received a major number of citations), and compares the generated rankings with those obtained using traditional bibliometric indicators. The conclusions provide an overview of the innovation landscape in the area of study, and suggest to which extent bibliometric indicators match the conclusions obtained after analyzing productivity and impact using patent citation.

Spontaneous Centralization of Control in a Network of Company Ownerships

We introduce a model for the adaptive evolution of a network of company ownerships. In a recent work it has been shown that the empirical global network of corporate control is marked by a central, tightly connected “core” made of a small number of large companies which control a significant part of the global economy. Here we show how a simple, adaptive “rich get richer” dynamics can account for this characteristic, which incorporates the increased buying power of more influential companies, and in turn results in even higher control. We conclude that this kind of centralized structure can emerge without it being an explicit goal of these companies, or as a result of a well-organized strategy.

The new digital age: reshaping the future of people, nations and business

In an unparalleled collaboration, two leading global thinkers in technology and foreign affairs give us their widely anticipated, transformational vision of the future: a world where everyone is connecteda world full of challenges and benefits that are ours to meet and to harness. Eric Schmidt is one of Silicon Valleys great leaders, having taken Google from a small startup to one of the worlds most influential companies. Jared Cohen is the director of Google Ideas and a former adviser to secretaries of state Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton. With their combined knowledge and experiences, the authors are uniquely positioned to take on some of the toughest questions about our future: Who will be more powerful in the future, the citizen or the state? Will technology make terrorism easier or harder to carry out? What is the relationship between privacy and security, and how much will we have to give up to be part of the new digital age? In this groundbreaking book, Schmidt and Cohen combine observation and insight to outline the promise and peril awaiting us in the coming decades. At once pragmatic and inspirational, this is a forward-thinking account of where our world is headed and what this means for people, states and businesses. With the confidence and clarity of visionaries, Schmidt and Cohen illustrate just how much we have to look forward toand beware ofas the greatest information and technology revolution in human history continues to evolve. On individual, community and state levels, across every geographical and socioeconomic spectrum, they reveal the dramatic developmentsgood and badthat will transform both our everyday lives and our understanding of self and society, as technology advances and our virtual identities become more and more fundamentally real. As Schmidt and Cohens nuanced vision of the near future unfolds, an urban professional takes his driverless car to work, attends meetings via hologram and dispenses housekeeping robots by voice; a Congolese fisherwoman uses her smart phone to monitor market demand and coordinate sales (saving on costly refrigeration and preventing overfishing); the potential arises for virtual statehood and Internet asylum to liberate political dissidents and oppressed minorities, but also for tech-savvy autocracies (and perhaps democracies) to exploit their citizens mobile devices for ever more ubiquitous surveillance. Along the way, we meet a cadre of international figuresincluding Julian Assangewho explain their own visions of our technology-saturated future. Inspiring, provocative and absorbing, The New Digital Age is a brilliant analysis of how our hyper-connected world will soon look, from two of our most prescient and informed public thinkers.

To be prepared when the time has come: Argentina’s new media regulation and the social movement for democratizing broadcasting

Concentrated and usually conservative media are characteristic of Latin American countries, and at the same time these structures undermine meaningful democracy. Given the political influence of large media conglomerates, even most center-left governments are reluctant to limit the power of influential companies. Argentina, however, passed a new comprehensive media law in 2009 designed to democratize the media sector. This article traces the origins of the law and analyzes the strategies of the actors involved, with the focus resting on the roles of social movements and large media companies. The article then presents the main features of the new regulation that social movements now take as a model case for other countries. I argue that the new law originates from an unusually participatory legislative process and furthers the democratization of communication. The passage of this law is explained through the associational capabilities of the movement, the potent framing of media regulation as a matter of democracy and the changing media–state dynamics that disrupted the long-standing mutually supporting ties between the dominant Clarín Group and the government.

The Impact of Mental Image of the Service Company in some of Customers Future Purchasing Decisions

The image of the company has a large impact on the company's success and sustainability. To gain a new customer may depend largely upon an image that is formed by the customer. The company success is not only required to attract new customers, but to keep with their customers current, and because of the difficulty in determining the impact of mental image of the company's service, and the size of this effect on Customers Future Purchasing Decisions. The current research aims to identify the impact of a mental image of the company's service on some future purchasing decisions for customers’ mobile phone service companies in Aleppo, as well as identify the relationship between some of personal variables and mental image of the company service. All this with a view to decision makers in the researched companies to reach the study findings and recommendations, contribute to the management of the mental image of their companies will be supportive of the direction of the positive behavioral customers. Accordingly, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to (250) student /and student at the University of Aleppo, and register for the academic year 2009-2010, from various faculties and institutes selected by convenience sample. A regression analysis and analysis of variance One-Way ANOVA from the statistical software package (SPSS.16.0) were used. It was found that image of the company's influence was significant for all purchasing decisions for future customers under study (customer trust in the company, customer commitment towards the company; customer intent to recommend good company), and the customers evaluation of the image of mind of a service company differed depending on the type of customer and number of years of participation in the service. .

디아길레프(Sergei Diaghilev)의 발레뤼스 공연기획 특징에 관한 연구

Ballets Russes(1920~1929) which was founded by Sergei Diaghilev (1872~1929) achieved both artistic success and popularity in early 20th century. Ballets Russes was a progressive dance company that not only contributed in the modernization of ballet but also revitalized dance in the depressed art world at that time. This study is aimed to analyze how Ballet Russes could succeed magnificently from a production point of view, especially concerning the characteristics of Diaghilev’s production. In this article the characteristics of his production style are divided into two categories of ‘management’ and ‘artistic part.’ The ‘management’ part deals with human networks and business strategies. Diaghilev had private groups and an association of supporters, and he could get these people with his sociability. In the aspect of his business strategies, Diaghilev made himself brand of company, created dance works according to commercialized plans and adopted tour performing system. The ‘artistic’ part deals with the discerning eye for art and ability of discovering talented artists. Diaghilev had an eye for art which could have been refined in lots of art production experiences and he, a man of insight, always pursued novelty. He also made a great effort in recruiting artists, training choreographers, and helping artists to create dance performances. In conclusion, this discussion shows that these Diaghilev’s abilities of dance production which balanced between management and artistic qualification helped him to make Ballet Russes an influential company.

Making the Invisible Engineer Visible: DuPont and the Recognition of Nuclear Expertise

Between 1942 and the late 1950s, atomic piles (nuclear chain-reactors) were industrialized, initially to generate plutonium for the first atomic weapons and later to serve as copious sources of neutrons, radioisotopes and electrical power. These facilities entrained a new breed of engineering specialist adept at designing, operating and maintaining them. From the beginning, large companies supplied the engineering labor for this new technology, and played an important role in defining the nature of their nuclear expertise. In the USA, the most influential company of the period was DuPont, which assumed responsibility for the first plutonium production reactors at Oak Ridge TN and Hanford WA between 1942-6, and of the postwar production facilities at Savannah River SC 1950-87. This paper explores the transition of authority from so-called “atomic scientists” to nuclear engineers at these sites, and the role played by DuPont in consolidating this new technical profession.

Making it big [semiconductor manufacturing

In this paper, Dr. Morris Chang helped to set up Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company in 1987. It is a classic example of one of those hugely influential companies that few people outside its core business have ever heard of and TSMC rather likes things that way. As a thirdparty manufacturer, it prefers that its customers bask in the spotlight. It is, however, important to acknowledge the role TSMC plays today in maintaining both economic and technological progress in the semiconductor industry.

Amazon: Love Them? Hate Them? Let’s Follow the Money

What is Amazon up to and why? Amazon reported $24 billion in annual revenue, from their 2009 year-end financial results. The Media/book category delivered $5.96 billion, or 1/4 of their total revenue. That’s considerably more than any of the largest companies in the traditional print or digital book business. Barnes and Noble/B Dalton collected $4.52 billion (2008), while Borders/Waldenbooks combined revenue was $3.11 billion (2008). Amazon’s book revenue steadily increases, while Borders and Barnes and Nobel continue to decrease. What strategies and values are fueling this growth? What is their vision and where have they put their money? Amazon has a demonstrated history of consistent behavior since their start-up in 1995, with big visions, long-term strategies, dedicated to streamlining, surgically eliminating costs, prolific innovations, strategic investments, and an obsession over the customer. We’ll track Amazon’s M&A investments in book publishing and digital to see exactly what they are doing to learn where they may be going. It is wise to stay current on one of the most influential companies in the world.

RESPONDING IN A MODERN WORLD

With an evolving and increasingly integrated range of domestic threats, reform of the UK police is long overdue. Margaret Gilmore investigates calls for a smaller number of larger forces, and examines the status of the Association of Chief Police Officers – an increasingly influential private company, which its own senior officers believe would benefit from more independent oversight.
