Each year, we need to move the ball forward. Th e LDEI Board meets the second Tuesday of every month via con- ference call. With fi nite time and resources, it’s important that we stay focused. So at the top of each agenda, the board’s mission statement is clearly highlighted: Th e mission of the LDEI Board is to foster the growth and success of the organization by supporting the development of new and existing chapters. It provides guidance, education, connectivity and eff ective communication among LDEI members. One way we planned to advance the mission this year was by examining the standing roles and responsibilities of each board member to see how each helps to fulfi ll our mission.

  • The True History of Chocolate Michael Coe
    The True History of Chocolate Michael Coe April 20, 2006 Dallas Museum of Art Horchow Auditorium Carol Robbins: ...University and Curator Emeritus in Yale's Peabody Museum of Natural History. For many years, he was advisor to the Center for Pre- Columbian Studies at Dumbarton Oaks, Washington. He has conducted field research in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. His research interests include Khmer culture history and the archaeology of Colonial New England, in addition to the Olmec and Maya civilizations of Mesoamerica for which he is perhaps best known. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and he is the author of 18 books and monographs. I am not sure whether that tally includes Final Report: An Archaeologist Excavates His Past which will be released later this year. As I reviewed the titles last night, I realized the extent to which many of Michael Coe's books represent personal memories for me, steps in my own attempts to interpret the art and cultures of our collection. So, I offer a personalized tribute. In 1968, when Michael Coe's America's First Civilization: Discovering the Olmec was published, I was secretary to the Director at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts--as we were at that time. The book was Director Merrill Rueppel's Christmas gift to me. The photograph on the back dust jacket, Michael Coe standing beside the Las Limas figure became an enduring image for me. About that time, I acquired Mexico and The Maya. Other survey books have appeared but rarely do their descriptions rival Michael Coe's vivid word pictures.

  • Coffee and Chocolate – Can We Help Developing Country Farmers Through Geographical Indications?
    Coffee and chocolate – can we help developing country farmers through geographical indications? Justin Hughes A report prepared for the International Intellectual Property Institute, Washington, D.C. 2009 Coffee and chocolate – can we help developing country farmers through geographical indications? Justin Hughes♦ “Coffee is simply an export crop to be consumed elsewhere. A major exception is when quality is embedded in a geographical origin (national, regional, local, or single-estate). When this is the case, producers and their cooperatives, associations or governments create symbolic attributes. It is not only the material coffee that is sold, but also a place, a story, sometimes a sense of exoticism.” 1 Daviron & Ponte OUTLINE INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ................................................................................4 PART I – AN OVERVIEW OF THE LAW AND ECONOMICS OF GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS......................11 A.

A partir de estadísticas oficiales y otras fuentes bibliográficas y hemerográficas, el objetivo de este artículo es caracterizar el consumo de cacao y de sus productos derivados, tanto al nivel mundial (a partir de la década de 1960) como de Venezuela (a partir de 1949), desde una perspectiva sostenible. Es una investigación documental, descriptiva y explicativa. Los principales hallazgos dan cuenta que, exceptuando a Brasil, los mayores consumidores mundiales no son los países productores. Desde 1960 se ha registrado una tendencia creciente en el consumo mundial del cacao y derivados, así como una creciente inversión por parte de empresas trasnacionales.

  • An Australian Case Study
    Patalinghug – Volume 7, Issue 2 (2016) e-Journal of Social & Behavioural Research in Business Vol. 7, Iss. 2, 2016, pp: 29 – 48. ”http://www.ejsbrb.org” A Case Study of Organizational Form: Hershey versus Mars Jason C. Patalinghug Department of Economics and Finance Southern Connecticut State University 501 Crescent St. New Haven, CT 06515 Phone: (203) 392-7337 Fax: (203) 392-5254 Email: [email protected] Abstract Purpose: This study examined the history, growth and structure of two of the world’s largest confectionery makers, Hershey and Mars, to determine why these two companies chose their current organizational form. Design/method/approach: This paper starts off with an analysis of the industrial foundation which is a common organizational form in Europe but rarely found in the United States. A historical analysis is then made of both Hershey and Mars using literature from economics, law, history and management to come up with answers as to why the two corporations are organized the way they are today. Findings: The study found that Hershey adopted the industrial-foundation organizational form based on the donor-agency theory which assures donors that their donations are not redistributed as profits to residual claimants. The non-distribution constraint in the Hershey Trust Company prevents dividends (donations) from being redistributed to residual claimants, and that the non-distribution constraint makes more sense for Hershey because its founder, Milton Hershey, expressed his preference to leave a long lasting legacy. The study also found that Mars has chosen a family-controlled organizational form based on the competitive advantage theory which postulates that firm value is maximized when families retain control, benefitting both family and nonfamily shareholders.
