The image is a screenshot of a page from a PDF titled "Eiteman D. Multinational Business Finance 16ed 2023.pdf" viewed on the Preview application. The page number is 117 out of 635. The content focuses on "Structural Ownership Differences Across the World" as part of "GLOBAL FINANCE IN PRACTICE 4.2." The text discusses how ownership influences organizational processes globally, highlighting differences in ownership structures in various regions such as the United States, Advanced Asia, China, and Latin America. A key feature of the page is a chart titled "Ownership by Investor Category, Regions of the World," which visually represents the distribution of ownership by different investor categories like private corporations, public sector, strategic individuals, institutional investors, and other free-float across different regions. The source of the data is the "OECD capital market dataset, end year 2017." The document's layout is clean, with a focus on readable text and a well-organized chart. The colors in the chart are muted pastels, making it easy to distinguish different categories. The text is structured in two columns, with a notable section bordered in a pale yellow box, which draws attention to the specific topic of structural ownership differences.

Larry Page is depicted in this black and white portrait. He is wearing a dark suit jacket over a black shirt, exuding a formal yet approachable demeanor. His hair is short and light-colored, styled neatly. Larry Page has a subtle smile, suggesting a relaxed and confident mood. The image is clear and high-resolution, emphasizing his facial features and expression. The background is plain white, focusing attention solely on him. The lighting is even, highlighting his face and attire without creating harsh shadows. This portrait, likely captured in a controlled indoor setting, presents Larry Page in a professional context, reflecting his stature in the business and technology world.

I like Larry Page.

I think he's the benchmark leader.

I love the way he managed Google, from the start. I think Sergey Brin, and then Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg, Paul Buchheit, Craig Nevill-Manning, and these people like Omid Kordestani (Pearson) or Salar Kamangar.

Larry Page, ran a good operation. His honesty as a partner, to Sergey, his wealth being on par, with both listed very closely in wealth-rankings, is something very rare (in a world, where most are envious, betray and end relationships), showing his sincerity, his loyalty and good-will.

I admire his original motto, "don't be evil". He put his values into the business. This was copied by every business in the world. Every business depends on Google to function, people depend on Google for their directions home. They check facts with it, to stay alive.

I would say, he combined the best of the best in:

1. vision with his dreams of a research database for academics like Steve,

2. humanistic, friendly team building like Zuck,

3. with a good, free business model that Wozniak would love,

4. he showed humility throughout it, very impressively, like Bill Gates, and

5. he's shown operational precision, similar to Tim Cook.

I admire Larry Page, above all the other leaders of the world, in politics, or business or academia for those reasons.

Although, I have a slightly better haircut
The image is a screenshot of a PDF document viewed in the Preview app on a Mac. It displays a section from the book "Multinational Business Finance" by Eiteman, specifically from Exhibit 15.2. The page lists corporate tax rates for selected countries as of 2017. The data is presented in a table format with two columns: one for the country name and another for the corresponding corporate tax rate. The page number shown is 480 out of 635, and the chapter is titled "Multinational Tax Management." The background is white, with black and blue text, typical of a professional document format. The screenshot captures the upper portion of the page, with the table extending beyond the visible area, indicating continued content. The interface shows the Preview app’s menu bar at the top, with options like File, Edit, View, and others visible. The page layout is standard, suggesting it is part of a larger academic or reference text focused on financial topics.

The image is a screenshot of a page from a PDF titled "Eiteman D. Multinational Business Finance 16ed 2023," displayed in the Preview application on a Mac. The page number is 480, and it is part of "PART 4 Financing the Global Firm." The main focus is a table listing corporate tax rates for various countries, including Singapore, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, St Maarten, Sudan, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand, Trinidad & Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, UK, US, Uruguay, Vanuatu, Venezuela, Vietnam, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The corporate tax rates vary, with the United Arab Emirates having the highest at 55% and Vanuatu the lowest at 0%. The table is sourced from KPMG's corporate tax rate table, accessed in January 2018. The text below the table discusses global tax environments, statutory income tax rates, and the impact of passive income on withholding taxes. The document appears to be an academic or professional text on international business finance.

The image is a page from a PDF document viewed in Preview on a Mac, focusing on the "GLOBAL FINANCE IN PRACTICE 17.2" section. The topic discussed is "The Chinese Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and Debt-Trap Diplomacy." The text explains how the BRI, launched by the Chinese government, represents the largest investment in global infrastructure projects, spanning more than 60 countries. The initiative is separated into two parts: the "belt," which recreates the Silk Road over land, and the "road," a network over oceans. A timeline diagram at the bottom illustrates the steps involved in the BRI project development path, highlighting activities and interests from both Chinese organizations and host countries. The process includes project consideration, financing by Chinese banks, construction by Chinese firms, and eventual operation and maintenance by the host country. The potential for debt obligations to become burdensome is noted. The page features a beige background with a mix of black and red text. It includes italicized and bold sections to emphasize key points. The document seems to be academic or business-focused, possibly intended for educational purposes or professional analysis.
