All relevant data is collected in a centralized database which enables Connex to automatically monitor and assess its carbon emissions. The cost of carbon has been minimized at four levels: • Reduced energy consumption bills. • Reduced administration overheads. • Compliance with NGER, EREP & GRI legislation. • A reduction in the number of carbon permits that need to be purchased. Utilizing carbon management software to automate reliable, accurate reporting and financial forecasting is essential to enable organizations to understand the impacts of possible ‘whatif’ scenarios. It also provides an invaluable resource for the benchmarking of emission reduction initiatives over time, providing tangible results that demonstrate improvements made. Featured Organizations Connex is Australia’s largest commuter rail network which operates 331 train fleet, travelling across 15 train lines to provide 12,664 services to the people of Melbourne each week. Prima Consulting is a professional services company that specializes in Information Management. Prima Consulting provides services to major Australian organizations as well as key government departments. The Problem to be Addressed Connex has an environmental mandate to use energy and resources wisely and as such, required a framework to support an ongoing commercial strategy for the integration of Carbon Management. Tracking consumption and emissions obligations under the current National Greenhouse Emission Reporting (NGER) was creating a mass of data entry, with up to 70 percent of Connex’s sustainability department’s time being spent on collating reports. Connex’s obligations include adhering to the Australian Governments greenhouse gas reporting system (OSCAR) and meeting the Victorian Government’s requirements for an Environment and Resource Efficiency Plan (EREP), whilst keeping the long term view of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) for Sustainability Reporting. Answer the following question. Q1. How Prima Consulting’s Sustainability Management solution helped Connex in sustainability? Explain Q2. Discuss the role played by Connex in relation to NGER, OSCAR and GRI.

The idea of harmonizing the corporate tax rate, to further the goal of a single market that provides similar conditions to companies across national borders, has been floated in the EU for some time now but has not been acceptable to all the countries. As investment conditions within the EU become more homogenous, individual countries like Ireland have used tax competition as a means of differentiating themselves and attracting foreign investment. The expansion of the EU on May 1st 2004 has brought the issue back into the limelight. High tax member states like Germany have strongly argued for tax harmonization and a minimum corporate tax rate, while low tax member states like Ireland and the new EU members have opposed any such proposal Answer the following question. Q1. Discuss the conflict of interest within the EU on the issue of corporate tax. Q2. Explain the merits and demerits of tax harmonization and tax competition Assignment Solutions, Case study Answer sheets Project Report and Thesis contact aravind.banakar@gmail.com www.mbacasestudyanswers.com ARAVIND – 09901366442 – 09902787224

This resulted in a situation where many patents were awarded to vague ideas without scrupulous review. Also there were many instances where the approved patents stifled further innovation, than encourage it and patents were used more like a weapon against competition. Many were apprehensive about the suitability of the patent system of the industrial age to the information age and suggested revamping not just the patent system, but also the entire system of intellectual property law. Answer the following question. Q1. Discuss the conditions that led to the troubles for USPTO, the relevance of business method patents and the viability of the Patent Law in protecting innovators in the information age Q2. Analyze the potential benefits that the reforms could bring to the US economy, which drives a considerable part of worldwide industrial growth.
