The Libor Scandal began in the year of 2012. In 2003, a major outbreak investigation started due to reliable banks being a prime source of manipulation of interest rate, affecting many in the benefit of

I was immediately intrigued from the beginning of Food, Inc. There was interesting and valuable information brought up during the film. Many people do not think about where their food comes from. I believe that if people were to know where their food comes from, they would not want to eat it. There are 47,000 products at a grocery store. But, Food, Inc. implies that this is in fact an illusion because all of them are made with the same crops. The fact that there are only a few multi-national corporations that control all of the crops and meat production is a huge surprise. I believe that each person in society would be absolutely shocked if they were to watch this documentary.

The situation began to unfold when the Securities and Exchange Commission was probing into a restatement of the company's stock price. Kozlowski's business practices raised some eyebrows. In 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) initiated an inquiry into Tyco's practices that resulted in a restatement of the company's earnings. In January, 2002, questionable accounting practices came to light. Tyco had forgiven a $19 million, no-interest loan to Kozlowski in 1998 and had paid the CEO's income taxes on the loan. It was found that he company's stock price had been overrated, and that the CEO and CFO had sold 100 million dollars' worth of shares, and then stated to the public that he was holding them, which was a misrepresentation and misled the investors.

Parmalat is a multinational Italian dairy food corporation that today represents one of the biggest fraud scandals that has marked history in Europe. What happened and why weren’t the scandalous activities detected beforehand? Parmalat’s investigation was triggered when it “defaulted on a $187 million bond payment in mid-November 2002.” This led to further revelation of the nonexistence of $4 billion worth of claimed bank deposits held by a subsidiary in the Cayman Islands in a Bank of America account. The company was basically falsifying accounts in order to increase assets and hide losses. The increase in assets would influence the public to believe that they were in a good position which in turn allowed

In 2011, the company performed strongly – producing revenues of $134,264,000,000 and net income of $20,213,000,000. Financial data

The objective of a firm confident with the strength and durability of its competitive advantage and internal resources is to export its business in markets where the potentiality of the benefits arising from the business strategy are not exploited fully or at all. A logical path of growth for a firm follows the Entrepreneurial, Organizational, Corporate, and International phase (Giarratana, 2016). Barilla definitely developed to the latter stage around the 1970’s, when Grace saw the opportunity of exploiting this potential final growth of the Italian group. The failure by the American management and ownership did not mean that the concepts were wrong. Actually, Pietro foresaw the opportunity of taking back Barilla and

Parmalat is an Italian based company, founded in 1961 by Calisto Tanzi. Their business model covered the new UHT (ultra-high temperature) production method of milk and dairy products. UHT milk was an upcoming technology from the Swedish firm Tetra Pak, making Parmalat an international player (Buchanan & Yang, 2005). Foreign acquisitions in the field of dairy products made Parmalat a multinational general food company (Ferrarini & Giudici, 2005). In the late 1980’s, Parmalat was Italy’s eighth largest food company and listed on the Italian Stock Exchange in Milan. During the nineties, the Parmalat Group followed a strategy to expand its reach through diverging into new markets like football and the tourism. Family started playing a more important role as Tanzi was placing relatives in important positions and boards of the holding. The Parma football club was acquired and Tanzi’s son Stefano became the club’s president while his daughter, Stefania, became the CEO of the tourism firm, Parmatour (Buchanan & Yang, 2005). By the end of 2002, the group was a world leader in the markets of milk, diary products and beverages and incorporated several well-known brands as Archway, Frica, Grisbi, Mother’s, Pomi and Welsh Farms. Parmalat's figures covered a consolidated turnover reached €7.6 billion in 2002, 36.000 employees and 146

The case of Euroland Foods S.A. is about a multinational company that produces high-quality ice cream, yogurt, bottled water, and fruit juices. Euroland Foods was founded in 1924 by Theo Verdin. The performance of the company was steady over the years, but since 1998 to 2000 the company had no growth. The management team thought that was because of the low population growth in northern Europe and market saturation in some areas. The management team hoped that increase in market share and sales would help company growth.
