The Business of Being Born Better to give birth to your baby at the hospital...or in your home? Co-producer/star Ricki Lake initiated the filming of this eye-opening documentary--during which director Abby Epstein happened to become pregnant--to contrast the experiences of women who deliver their children in a hospital environment with those who complete their pregnancies at home with the assistance of midwives. 84 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo Surround; Subtitles: Spanish.

Director: Abby Epstein
DVD: Color, Dolby, Dubbed, DVD, NTSC, Subtitled, WidescreenBirth is a miracle, a rite of passage, a natural part of life. But birth is also big business. Compelled to explore the subject after the delivery of her first child, actress Ricki Lake recruits filmmaker Abby Epstein to question the way American women have babies. Epstein gains access to several pregnant New York City women as they weigh their options. Some of these women are or will become

Business, Law and Culture in the US and Europe The laws of continental Europe and those of the USA are substantially distinct. The general difference between common law, as practiced in the US, and civil law, as practiced in continental Europe, is widely accepted, even if it is not always understood. American court rulings, for instance, can be extreme in the eyes of Europeans, who are not familiar with concepts such as punitive damages.

The perception of Europeans and Americans about each other’s laws is often wrong, yet people are so convinced that they have heard it right, that smaller and even medium sized businesses make important decisions based on wrong assumptions. A European company did not dare to sell a product in the US because management was afraid, not of product liability issues but of the mere belief that liability insurance premiums would be too steep and still not cover all legal expenses. Internal memos and plans of European companies preparing to establish US ventures describe organization, strategies, financing, products and much more, in great detail – but in a single sentence declare that the new company should be incorporated in Delaware ‘of course’. The General Counsel of a very large American conglomerate at least once told an audience that when you do business in Germany, anything that is not expressly allowed in writing is prohibited by law.

What nonsense! But what they reflect is a lack of understanding, not just of the law but also of the underlying cultures. Law and culture, certainly business culture, are strongly intertwined. They continuously affect and influence each other. In some areas the laws of the USA and of continental European countries are poles apart. As a result certain situations are dealt with in a manner that seems unfamiliar at first. Parties involved cross-Atlantic business transactions are often surprised by the outcome when a contract is terminated, a creditor becomes insolvent, or minority shareholders assert certain rights.

Without pretending to be an academic tome1 this book aims to help Europeans and American businesses and their business partners understand where and how their legal and cultural systems are at odds. It provides insights to better understand the differences by putting the law in a cultural context. It does not teach ‘the law’, nor does it provide legal advice. Of course each and every European country implements its own legislation. Of course within the US, too, local law (that is, non-federal law) differs by state. Whenever legal interpretation is necessary you should consult an attorney who is familiar with local law. Here, the main distinctions, the major pitfalls, the different concepts that you may come across when doing business across the pond are addressed. It is not a law book, but a book that describes the law in a cultural perspective to make you aware of some very important distinctions when conducting business across the Atlantic.

A History of Business in Medieval Europe, 1200-1550 (Cambridge Medieval Textbooks) A History of Business in Medieval Europe, 1200-1550, demolishes the widely held view that the phrase "medieval business" is an oxymoron. The authors review the entire range of business in medieval western Europe, probing its Roman and Christian heritage to discover the economic and political forces that shaped the organization of agriculture, manufacturing, construction, mining, transportation, and marketing. Then they deal with the responses of businessmen to the devastating plagues, famines, and warfare that beset Europe in the late Middle Ages. Medieval businessmen's remarkable success in coping with this hostile new environment prepared the way for the economic expansion of the sixteenth century.

How can municipalities in Central Europe create favourable conditions for local business? What and how can municipalities learn from each other? How can each individual in the local area contribute? And what requirements have to be met before know-how can successfully be transferred on a communal level?

To answer all these questions, the authors of this book draw on results from a six-year research programme and comprehensively discuss the manifold opportunities, restrictions and prerequisites of establishing favourable conditions for small and medium enterprises in rural municipalities in Central Europe.

Western Europe Business Internet Access 2004-2008 Forecast

This IDC study sizes and forecasts the market for business Internet access services in Western Europe. It presents IDC's estimates of current and projected market size for business Internet access by country, service type (dial, broadband, and leased line) and company size simultaneously, with leased line bandwidth splits and mobile worker Internet connections. End-user spending is similarly broken down by country, service type, and company size simultaneously, by leased line bandwidth and for mobile workers.

According to James Eibisch, research director, European Business Network Services, the study shows that the market overall is continuing to increase in terms of spending, but will flatten noticeably towards the end of the forecast period, 2008. Continued growth in spending is coming almost entirely from broadband (the sum of ADSL, SDSL, VDSL, and other DSL variants, Ethernet/FttX, cable, satellite, broadband fixed wireless, and powerline) with dial and traditional leased line spending in decline throughout the forecast period in most countries.

The Global Etiquette Guide to Europe: Everything You Need to Know for Business and Travel Success (Global Etiquette Guides) Ideal for Everyone from Global Executives to Globe-Hopping Tourists

Did you know:
* In Switzerland, a kiss on the cheek can be either expected-or deeply offensive?
* If you don't want to share in after-dinner drinks in Hungary, you'd better have a good excuse-like doctor's orders?


In today's high-stakes, highly charged international business world, you simply can't afford a misunderstood gesture, an ill-placed word, or a misinformed judgment. The Global Etiquette Guide to Europe shows both business and leisure travelers how to understand, appreciate, and manage-as well as maximize the benefits of-the myriad cultural differences that can exist between you and your European business hosts. This fact-filled cultural guidebook provides detailed advice on:

* Dining * Drinking * Speaking * Eye contact * Hailing a taxi
* Dress * Negotiating * Gift giving * Conducting a meeting
* Tipping * Holidays * Dealing with authorities

Just as customs vary greatly between Europe and the United States, so do they vary among the diverse nations of Europe. What is proper and expected in France, for example, may be a deal-breaker in Sweden. The Global Etiquette Guide to Europe will familiarize you with the customs, habits, tastes, and mores of every key European nation-nearly forty in all-and help you guarantee the mutual respect and acceptance that are vital for keeping every international business relationship agreeable, effective, and successful.

From the supplier: Management education in Poland is getting established with standards adapted from the International Society of Business Education. Most Polish universities have business courses to offer while new business schools have come into existence. Foreign programs and foreign assistance are usually a part of the Polish management education. The tuition is high by Polish standards and the enrollment quota generally poses a problem. Despite in their objective to develop a quality business education.
