CORPORATE AFFAIRS, COMMUNICATION & PUBLIC RELATIONS IN DISASTER TIMES – A CASE ANLAYSIS OF THE BENTO RODRIGUES DAM INCIDENT OF NOVEMBER 2015

Introduction On the 5th of November, 2015, the Bento Rodrigues Dam broke its bounds and flooded major settlements in Minas Gerais, in south east Brazil. The immediate result was due to an accidental leakage in the Bento Rodrigues Dam which caused the release of a large volume of toxic materials into the nearby Santarem River valley which flowed into the Doce River. The Dam is owned by Samarco which is owned jointly by Vale and British-Australian mining giant, BHP Billiton. The purpose of this research is to identify the major business and corporate communication issues that occurred in the ...

Anger is a physiological, emotional response when an individual feels threatened, or when one’s space, relatives and properties get violated. It is a normal emotion experienced by all individuals acting as an alarm to warn people when something seems wrong.

The body’s reaction to anger depends on the intensity of the emotion. In the case of an anger burst, the brain triggers the release of adrenaline that leads to increased heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, the body muscles tighten in readiness for a reaction like a fight or flight. People tend to express anger in different ways and that ...

Watson appreciates the test from a chemical point of view, but fails to see any practical utilization of it. His doubts are quickly shattered by Holmes’s explanation of the test’s significance in a crime investigation as he points out that: “had this test been invented, there are hundreds of men now walking the earth who would long ago have paid the penalty of their crimes” (Doyle, ASIS 16). Given the fact that branches of Forensics medicine such as blood stain pattern analysis or forensics toxicology arose in the second half of the nineteenth century (“forensic medicine”), Holmes is a fictional ...

Introduction to gamma-ray bursts

The universe is made up of many objects some of which scientists have managed to discover while others are yet to be discovered. Gamma-ray bursts form the highest and most complicated cosmic events present in the universe. These are high-energy explosions discovered during the cold war by astronomers. The discovery was made after the United States suspected the soviets could test nuclear weapons in space. They installed satellites in the space that detected gamma-ray flashes. It was until 1997 when astronomers discovered that gamma-ray bursts are caused by explosions of young energetic stars found in the distant galaxies. These ...

Based on the Timothy Bresnahan, Shane Greenstein, and Rebecca Henderson’s article Schumpeterian Competition and Diseconomies of Scope, the authors suggest that in the past, the incumbent and successful firms fail in new markets due to the strategies they use in these markets. Other suggestions in this article include the fact that the organization frames of these big firms have been unable to flex appropriately for the new era in technology due to their fixed nature. Additionally, it is suggested that, the fear of cannibalization coupled with the underinvestment could also be a source of failure in these incumbent firms. ...

The article of Schumpeterian Competition and Diseconomies of Scope suggests that in the past, the incumbent and otherwise successful firms fail in a new market is because of the strategies that they use in the market. Some assert that the framers of these big companies are rigid to changes in technology, which at times make them irrelevant to the dynamism in business. Others still consider the fear of cannibalization coupled with underinvestment as the reason for failure. However, the waves of innovative technology and activity threaten the existence of several big and small firms despite of their size or market ...

Introduction

Economic growth stems from, and brings forth further commercial activities. The aggregation of commercial activities influences the rate in which economic growth thrives, hence the importance of noting each kind of activity. Among the most obvious manifestations of a growing economy is the emergence of advanced infrastructures. Positive progress in the economy usually reveals itself through the presence of infrastructural improvements on roads, transportation and real estate spanning commercial, business and residential facilities. The evolution of real estate infrastructure serves as among the most compelling signs of economic growth. One could ...
