Literature Review Since CAPM was accepted and admitted in fundamental concepts by most people in financial economics, factor model researching becomes a popular topic in finance. In 1992, Eugene Fama and Ken French established the empirical foundations for the Fama & French Three-Factor Model. It is designed to capture the relation between average return and size and the relation between average return and B/M (price ratios). The three factors model can be described by the equation below:

The Prince vs. Henry V A comparison of attributes After reading Machiavelli’s The Prince and watching Shakespeare’s Henry V in class, one begins to notice similarities between the authors’ idea of what a “perfect king” should be. The patterns between the ideal ruler of Shakespeare and the ideal ruler of Machiavelli can be seen in numerous instances throughout this story. For the duration of this essay, I will compare the similarities in both pieces to give the reader a better understanding

is 'The star of England'. However, Henry also has a less attractive side, which is occasionally portrayed in the scenes between the choruses. This may seem inconsistent. Henry can be cunning and manipulative. When he wishes to fight the French, he says to the Archbishop of Canterbury that he wants his blessing, because then God will be on his side. If Canterbury agrees, then effectively anything bad that happens to Henry and his army thereafter is his fault. 'May I

to become one of the greatest actors of the twentieth century. His attempt in the role of the main character ‘Henry’ was nothing short of this by delivering an epic performance in the midst of a gay, colourful depiction of battle. Kenneth Branagh’s production (1989) attempted greater realism in the battle scenes and focused more on Henry’s inner conflicts. There was not as much emphasis on the patriotic elements of the play as in Olivier’s. Branagh’s film was constructed

As people in the twenty-first century generally don't believe in ghosts and don't consider revenge a duty, why is a play like Hamlet still of interest to film and theatre audiences? As William Shakespeare began writing Hamlet in 1598 - at the end of the 16th century - the play which would go on to become one of his most famous pieces of work was geared towards an audience of “churls”, “groundlings” and the less-educated members of theatre-going society, just as equally as the more educated and

Introduction: The abrupt and unanticipated collapse of Enron Corporation was due to one of the largest accounting frauds in U.S. history. This scandal had significant impact on the financial markets by causing enormous financial losses for numerous investors. Before filing for Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcy protection in December of 2001, Enron was named the "Most Innovative Company in America" by Fortune Magazine from 1996 to 2001, and also named first in 1999 on its list of the "100 Best

Can Critical Regionalism counteract the impact of Globalisation on our cities? In the era of constant networking and relaying of information, the world has become a much smaller place. The shrinking world has somewhat become a familiar spectacle of identical fads and lifestyles. At least in the developed countries, globalisation has given birth to homogenous consumer culture. Demonstrated not only by the expansion of multi-national cooperations such as Apple and Starbucks but also by the indistinct

economy in the late 1990s, as the old millennium was ending and the new one beginning, one particular company discovered a new way to rise to the top in the trading business. Enron, originally known as a “natural gas pipeline company [started by Kenneth Lay in 1985], soon became known as an energy-trading corporation that bought and sold gas as well as electricity.” (Fox, 1). With over 20,000 employees and 40 worldwide businesses, The Houston, TX Corporation soon became a prodigy of the times. Originally

Ethics is defined as the discipline dealing with what is good and bad and doing so with moral duty and obligation. The corporate perception of ethics often varies from the definition of the term which can cause an abundance of issues in the workplace. Interpretations range from what a person’s feelings say are right or wrong, religious beliefs, law requirements, or just what is acceptable to society morals. Despite the varying translations of business ethics one thing that is undeniable is the huge

written by none other than Danish philosopher and poet, Søren Kierkegaard. Born in 1813, Søren Kierkegaard was well acquainted with Shakespeare’s text and often referred to it in his writings. When watching Kenneth Branagh’s unique, unabridged adaptation of Hamlet, it is apparent that Kenneth Branagh was able to capture how similar his Hamlet and Søren are in character while making his mark in cinematography history. The connection between Branagh, Shakespeare, and Kierkegaard goes beyond the setting
