单选题Under the worldwide principle of taxation, the foreign earnings of a domestic company are subject to full levies of both its host and home countries. The foreign branches and subsidiaries of MNEs are therefore subject to varieties of taxes, both direct and indirect, in the countries where they operate. The problem is that the income earned in the foreign country may be subject to income taxes twice. MNEs' income is taxed in the country where the income is earned and again, the income might be taxed in the parent country. This could result in double taxation. A foreign tax credit is a means to avoid double taxation of foreign-source income. A parent company's domicile (country of residence) can elect to treat foreign taxes paid as a credit against the parent's domestic tax liability or as a deduction from taxable income. Companies generally choose the credit, as it yields a one-for-one reduction of domestic taxes payable (limited to the amount of income taxes actually paid), whereas a deduction is only worth the product of the foreign tax expense and the domestic marginal tax rate.

单选题Tuned In I was lucky enough to be given a preview copy of a great new book by Craig Stull, Phil Myers, and David Meerman Scott called Tuned In. I got the preview, but it is being published today. The authors tell so many great stories that illustrate their big point, which is that you need to be willing to listen to what's going on around you to really produce a business breakthrough. I am a big fan of David's, so I recognized David's voice in places throughout the book, especially when it explains how to detect the difference between tuned-in and tuned-out marketing. But I also recognize the voices of Craig and Phil, because I am a certified product manager from their company, Pragmatic Marketing. So when the book differentiates between listening to your customers and listening to your overall market, I hear them. When they tell you that you need to get out and talk to people to identify the ideas that are the same as yours, I remember hearing in class: ' Nothing good ever happens in the office. ' So, nothing this book said really surprised me. And that's the real genius of the book. So often, a really great book says something that seems completely obvious — right after you hear it. This book is one of those. Well of course you need to talk to your whole market and not just your existing customers. In my last book, I tried to help people take these approaches in Internet marketing. This book has a bigger agenda, where the authors help you see how to succeed in all the parts of an offering, from product development to marketing. Zipcar is just one of dozens of stories that bring the Tuned In principles to life. If you've ever wondered why your company is made stupid in its strategy, and why it kills every successful product idea before it ever sees the light of day, read this book. It will challenge you to transform your company or leave it.

单选题 Higher education in America is no longer the preserve of a privileged elite, with more than seven million undergraduates now enrolled in the roughly 2,600 colleges and universities that grant bachelor or higher degrees. In 2002, the most recent year for which figures are available, 1,291,900 students received bachelors' diplomas and 606,958 completed graduate programs. The latter figure is worth noting, since it tells us that almost half of those who are completing college believe that a single degree won't suffice for what they want to do or be. A census study last year found that among adults aged thirty to thirty-four, only 41 percent had attended high school without going to college. These high school graduates, moreover, represent a dwindling part of the population. Another 32 percent had earned at least a bachelor's degree, while 27 percent had spent time on a campus, whether a community college or a four-year college, without finishing. Viewed one way, that figure shows a high attrition rate. The claim that almost six in ten Americans in their early thirties have had some kind of college experience thus needs further scrutiny. The experience can range from small seminars in philosophy at Colgate to lectures in motel management at Southwest Missouri State. Some colleges have rigorous core curriculums: students elsewhere must choose courses from huge catalogs in order to amass the 128 credits needed for a BA. Reed College in Oregon limits its enrollment to 1,312 students, while at Michigan State University an entering student would be one of 34,617. In fact, there are places open for anyone who wants to pursue a bachelor's degree and can pay for it, and many colleges must work hard to attract students. In a study published this year, James Fallows concluded that for all but the richest ten or twenty universities, an important part of managing enrollment is simply being sure that enough paying customer will show up each fall. The Princeton Review, a commercial organization with no ties to the university, compiles useful information about what it calls "the best 257 colleges" in the country. It reports that reputable although less well known schools like Creighton, Duquesne, and Evergreen State accept at least 85 percent of those who apply. But for many American families, knowing that there are many openings is not reassuring. On the contrary, increasing numbers of parents are investing money and energy to ensure that their children be accepted by a college that is recognized and admired. Ross Doughat writes candidly about these efforts in his memoir of student life in Harvard's class of 2002, Privilege: Harvard and the Education of the Ruling Class. "People send their children to Harvard, above all," he says, "because they want them to succeed." And an early sign of their success will be the college they attend. When friends ask where the children are going. Parents want to give a response that brings congratulatory smiles; yet the number of schools that evoke this reaction is relatively small. True, people may recall having heard, say, of Carleton and Grinnell; but they don't see them as being among the first tier. As Doughat writes, ambitious parents don't want to be seen as having children whose attainment was less than the best. Regional loyalties are being replaced by the growing power of a handful of national name brands. A neurologist in Tulsa who himself went to Oklahoma State now wants Dartmouth or Duke for his daughter, and a senior vice-president at Procter & Gamble who went to Lehigh now wants to tell people about his son at Stanford. From my own observation, perhaps fifteen schools are on aspiring parents' lists. Collectively, admissions officers at these schools considered 171,824 applications last year, and turned down 145,962, for an overall acceptance rate of about 15 percent. In fact, figures like these are public knowledge, reported in guides that are well known in many high schools. Thus the 18,628 students who applied to Stanford knew in advance that only one in eight would be successful. Even given such odds, thousands are willing to try. On their side, colleges don't discourage applications, since a high rejection rate raises their standing in US News & World Report and similar rankings. Of course, the 171,824 total contains multiple submissions. In this anxious age, it is not unheard of for a high school senior to apply to as many as ten schools or more. Each year, some 10,000 applicants to the top twelve colleges receive more than one acceptance. That produces a second measure of prestige: how many of those a school invites actually enroll. Here Harvard again leads, with 78 percent choosing to attend. What is interesting is that even at Amherst, Duke, and Williams, fewer than half of those invited accept, which means these colleges must admit the equivalent of two classes to fill up one. No-show rates would be even higher were it not for offers of early admission, which exact a pledge to attend before the application season is over.
