Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, , course: Master of Business Administration, language: English, abstract: Sime Darby is one of the biggest multinational companies in Malaysia. It has large number of plantations around Malaysia. Not to mention, it has also ventured into other businesses that brought profit to the business. The pressures are increasingly heavy so that it might cause negative effects on the employees and organization. In addition, the fact that bribery and corruption cases have happened before, causes the pressure to retain the image and name of Sime Darby. Organizational climate is known as the weather for the employees that changes accordingly to the emotions, moods, feelings and environments as well as surrounding of the places. One employee can affect the moods, feelings and environment of those above. The purpose of this study is to find the level of awareness on these variables: administration and operation climate, work motivation climate and ethics at the workplace climate. Also, it is used to find the relationship between the independent variables with dependent variable. The independent variables used are administration and operation climate, work motivation climate and ethics at the workplace climate. The dependent variable is organizational climate. The results showed that there is a relationship between each independent variable with the dependent variable. The correlations fall within +1 and -1 for all variables towards dependent variable. Several recommendations have been given to the readers to understand the effects of positive and negative organizational climate to the organization.

This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

This study comprises a review of oil palm development and management across landscapes in the tropics. Seven countries have been selected for detailed analysis using surveys of the current literature, mainly spanning the last fifteen years. Indonesia and Malaysia are the obvious leaders in terms of area planted and levels of production and export, but also in literature generated on social and environmental challenges. In Latin America, Colombia is the dominant producer with oil palm expanding in disparate landscapes with a strong focus on palm oil-based biodiesel; and small-scale growers and companies in Peru and Brazil offer contrasting ways of inserting oil palm into the Amazon. Nigeria and Cameroon represent African nations with traditional groves and old plantations in which foreign ‘land grabs’ to establish new oil palm have recently occurred.

The oil palm industry has transformed rural livelihoods and landscapes across wide swathes of Indonesia and Malaysia, generating wealth along with economic, social, and environmental controversy. Who benefits and who loses from oil palm development? Can oil palm development provide a basis for inclusive and sustainable rural development? Based on detailed studies of specific communities and plantations and an analysis of the regional political economy of oil palm, this book unpicks the dominant policy narratives, business strategies, models of land acquisition, and labour-processes. It presents the oil palm industry in Malaysia and Indonesia as a complex system in which land, labour and capital are closely interconnected. Understanding this complex is a prerequisite to developing better strategies to harness the oil palm boom for a more equitable and sustainable pattern of rural development.
