#this of course is mainly due to him growing up in VR and thus not fully understanding that his actions actually have consequences

[abisalli]

I don't know much about Bart, but your art of him is always so cute I just have to love him 🥺 There's something so hilarious and chaotic about the way you draw him and his hair 🤭

Thank you so much! I love (drawing) Bart, he’s easily one of my all time favorite DC characters

I base my depiction of Bart mainly on his YJ and Solo-Run appearance, where he is indeed very chaotic and has very fluffy hair

Here are some comic panels serving as examples:

#asks #bart allen #my son.... <3 I love him so much #also yes Bart is very impulsive (ha!) and chaotic but he's also very introverted which is precisely why i love him so much #he just so desperately wants to do the right thing but he doesn't always go about it the right way #this of course is mainly due to him growing up in VR and thus not fully understanding that his actions actually have consequences #but he learns it along the way dw <3 #okay that's enough of my Bart propaganda go about your day now

 CASE STUDY (20 Marks)

The case chronicles the 200 year old legacy of the family business of the Rothschild Family. Started by Mayer Amschel Rothschild in 1790, in Frankfurt, the banking business of the family ruled Europe for centuries (dominated financially). The 5 sons of Mayer strategically placed in different financial centers of Europe took advantage of International events, thus creating their initial wealth. The case focuses on the reasons for the success and failure of family business at different times. It explores the concepts of family values, Succession Planning, inheritance planning, growing entrepreneurs within the family, controlling ownership of business, and adapting to changing times. Mayer was born in 1744 in a ghetto of Frankfurt known as the Frankfurter Judengasse, which was home to the largest Jewish community in Germany. After losing his parents at the tender age of twelve, Mayer struggled to make his way up to become a court Jew . He joined the banking firm of his father’s colleague, Jacob Wolf Oppenheimer, and later established himself as a rare coin trader. His clients included the prince of HesseKassel.

The good connections that Mayer developed during this period earned him the title of court agent. By 1780, Mayer had become a wellknown trader of coins, medals, and antiques in Frankfurt . He made enough money to buy a new house in 1787. The growing circle of suppliers and customers in his existing business gave him the impetus to move into the banking business by the early 1790s. Over the next few years, Mayer’s banking

business achieved remarkable growth and, by 1797, he was counted among the richest Jews in Frankfurt. Mayer had 5 sons and 5 daughters. By the end of the 18th century, his banking business had become too big for him to control alone. One of the major reasons for the success of the Rothschild family was the individual success of the five sons of Mayer. According to Amschel, Nathan acted like the commanding general in London, and the four brothers were like his soldiers and everyone played a very important role

in taking the family’s business forward. However, the individual success of the descendants was not under the control of any single person as the family got bigger from the third generation onward and the businesses grew more independent. To make every business of the family a success in the future would be tough without coordination of all the other family members. Every crisis in Europe opened up new opportunities for the Rothschild family; rather, they utilized the conditions to their benefit. When the ghetto of Frankfurt was bombed by the French army in 1796, it reduced the restrictions placed upon Jews in Germany. As a result, Mayer’s business flourished and his newly started banking business received a boost.. After the battle of Waterloo, Nathan and his brothers

concentrated on expanding the business and increasing the wealth of the family primarily by giving loans to governments. The London House with the help of Paris, Frankfurt, Naples, and Vienna, between the years 1815 and 1859, issued a total of 50 loans worth 250 million sterling pounds, mainly to governments which were in need . The Rothschild family banks altogether became the most powerful bank in financial history and dominated bond issues. According to some industry experts, the principal contribution of the Rothschild family to nineteenth century capitalism was the development of the bond market. The early days of the 19th century saw the introduction of the taxation system and the Rothschild’s style of operating with a single commercial account couldn’t sustain itself. The different Houses continued with their separate businesses independently. The failure of the Rothschild’s Austrian bank in the 1930s, the Nazis seizing the family’s property in Austria, and the nationalization of the French Bank in the 1980s showed a breakdown in the power and control the Rothschild family had enjoyed for nearly 200 years...

 Answer the following question.

Q1. Comment on the success of the family business of Rothschilds and their strategic moves.

Q2. Explain how the family beliefs, culture, and faith in religion played an important role in decision • making of the owners.

Tom (who works for Blocks Ltd.), and Deirdre, (who works for Fones Ltd.), are employed as production managers. Last night, both of them attended a staff development meeting organized by a Production Management Institute (a professional body), of which they are members. During the teabreak, Tom and Deirdre discussed the various leadership styles that they were following in their respective organizations. Tom told Deirdre that he had a friendly personality and was optimistic that he will get on well with the workers in the factory. He went on to say that a total of fifty workers are employed, with 40 of them having been employed with the business for over 20 years. The others, mostly unskilled, tend to be younger workers who stay for a year or so and then move on, since Tom thinks that they are harder to motivate. Tom is aware that new Health & Safety regulations are due to be implemented and this will require discipline in the workforce. He is thinking of adopting a more autocratic leadership style.

 CASE STUDY (20Marks)

The case chronicles the 200 year old legacy of the family business of the Rothschild Family. Started by Mayer Amschel Rothschildin 1790, in Frankfurt, the banking business of the family ruled Europe for centuries (dominated financially). The 5 sons of Mayer strategically placed in different financial centers of Europe took advantage of International events, thus creating their initial wealth.The case focuses on the reasons for the success and failure of family business at different times. It explores the concepts of family values, Succession Planning, inheritance planning, growing entrepreneurs within the family, controlling ownership of business, and adapting to changing times. Mayer was born in 1744 in a ghetto of Frankfurt known as the Frankfurter Judengasse, which was home to the largest Jewish community in Germany. After losing his parents at the tender age of twelve, Mayer struggled to make his way up to become a court Jew . He joined the banking firm of his father’s colleague, Jacob Wolf Oppenheimer, and later established himself as a rare coin trader. His clients included the prince of HesseKassel.

The good connections that Mayer developed during this period earned him the title of court agent. By 1780, Mayer had become a wellknown trader of coins, medals, and antiques in Frankfurt . He made enough money to buy a new house in 1787. The growing circle of suppliers and customers in his existing business gave him the impetus to move into the banking business by the early 1790s. Over the next few years, Mayer’s banking

business achieved remarkable growth and, by 1797, he was counted among the richest Jews in Frankfurt. Mayer had 5 sons and 5 daughters. By the end of the 18th century, his banking business had become too big for him to control alone. One of the major

reasons for the success of the Rothschild family was the individual success of the five sons of Mayer. According to Amschel, Nathan acted like the commanding general in London, and the four brothers were like his soldiers and everyone played a very important role in taking the family’s business forward. However, the individual success of the descendants was not under the control of any single person as the family got bigger from the third generation onward and the businesses grew more independent. To make every business of the family a success in the future would be tough without coordination of all the other family members. Every crisis in Europe opened up new opportunities for the Rothschild family; rather, they utilized the conditions to their benefit. When the ghetto of Frankfurt was bombed by the French army in 1796, it reduced the restrictions placed upon Jews in Germany. As a result, Mayer’s

business flourished and his newly started banking business received a boost.. After the battle of Waterloo, Nathan and his brothers 3/14/2017 Aeren Foundation

The case chronicles the 200 year old legacy of the family business of the Rothschild Family. Started by Mayer Amschel Rothschildin 1790, in Frankfurt, the banking business of the family ruled Europe for centuries (dominated financially). The 5 sons of Mayer strategically placed in different financial centers of Europe took advantage of International events, thus creating their initial wealth.The case focuses on the reasons for the success and failure of family business at different times. It explores the concepts of family values, Succession Planning, inheritance planning, growing entrepreneurs within the family, controlling ownership of business, and adapting to changing times. Mayer was born in 1744 in a ghetto of Frankfurt known as the Frankfurter Judengasse, which was home to the largest Jewish community in Germany. After losing his parents at the tender age of twelve, Mayer struggled to make his way up to become a court Jew . He joined the banking firm of his father’s colleague, Jacob Wolf Oppenheimer, and later established himself as a rare coin trader. His clients included the prince of HesseKassel.

The good connections that Mayer developed during this period earned him the title of court agent. By 1780, Mayer had become a wellknown trader of coins, medals, and antiques in Frankfurt . He made enough money to buy a new house in 1787. The growing circle of suppliers and customers in his existing business gave him the impetus to move into the banking business by the early 1790s. Over the next few years, Mayer’s banking

business achieved remarkable growth and, by 1797, he was counted among the richest Jews in Frankfurt. Mayer had 5 sons and 5 daughters. By the end of the 18th century, his banking business had become too big for him to control alone. One of the major

reasons for the success of the Rothschild family was the individual success of the five sons of Mayer. According to Amschel, Nathan acted like the commanding general in London, and the four brothers were like his soldiers and everyone played a very important role in taking the family’s business forward. However, the individual success of the descendants was not under the control of any single person as the family got bigger from the third generation onward and the businesses grew more independent. To make every business of the family a success in the future would be tough without coordination of all the other family members. Every crisis in Europe opened up new opportunities for the Rothschild family; rather, they utilized the conditions to their benefit. When the ghetto of Frankfurt was bombed by the French army in 1796, it reduced the restrictions placed upon Jews in Germany. As a result, Mayer’s

business flourished and his newly started banking business received a boost.. After the battle of Waterloo, Nathan and his brothers 3/14/2017 Aeren Foundation

concentrated on expanding the business and increasing the wealth of the family primarily by giving loans to governments. TheLondon House with the help of Paris, Frankfurt, Naples, and Vienna, between the years 1815 and 1859, issued a total of 50 loans worth 250 million sterling pounds, mainly to governments which were in need . The Rothschild family banks altogether became the most powerful bank in financial history and dominated bond issues. According to some industry experts, the principal contribution of the Rothschild family to nineteenth century capitalism was the development of the bond market. The early days of the 19th century saw the introduction of the taxation system and the Rothschild’s style of operating with a single commercial account couldn’t sustain itself. The different Houses continued with their separate businesses independently. The failure of the Rothschild’s Austrian bank in the 1930s, the Nazis seizing the family’s property in Austria, and the nationalization of the French Bank in the 1980s showed a breakdown in the power and control the Rothschild family had enjoyed for nearly 200 years...

 Answer the following question.

Q1. Comment on the success of the family business of Rothschilds and their strategic moves.

Q2. Explain how the family beliefs, culture, and faith in religion played an important role in decision • making of the owners.

 CASE STUDY (20Marks)

The case chronicles the 200 year old legacy of the family business of the Rothschild Family. Started by Mayer Amschel Rothschildin 1790, in Frankfurt, the banking business of the family ruled Europe for centuries (dominated financially). The 5 sons of Mayer strategically placed in different financial centers of Europe took advantage of International events, thus creating their initial wealth.The case focuses on the reasons for the success and failure of family business at different times. It explores the concepts of family values, Succession Planning, inheritance planning, growing entrepreneurs within the family, controlling ownership of business, and adapting to changing times. Mayer was born in 1744 in a ghetto of Frankfurt known as the Frankfurter Judengasse, which was home to the largest Jewish community in Germany. After losing his parents at the tender age of twelve, Mayer struggled to make his way up to become a court Jew . He joined the banking firm of his father’s colleague, Jacob Wolf Oppenheimer, and later established himself as a rare coin trader. His clients included the prince of HesseKassel.

The good connections that Mayer developed during this period earned him the title of court agent. By 1780, Mayer had become a wellknown trader of coins, medals, and antiques in Frankfurt . He made enough money to buy a new house in 1787. The growing circle of suppliers and customers in his existing business gave him the impetus to move into the banking business by the early 1790s. Over the next few years, Mayer’s banking

business achieved remarkable growth and, by 1797, he was counted among the richest Jews in Frankfurt. Mayer had 5 sons and 5 daughters. By the end of the 18th century, his banking business had become too big for him to control alone. One of the major

reasons for the success of the Rothschild family was the individual success of the five sons of Mayer. According to Amschel, Nathan acted like the commanding general in London, and the four brothers were like his soldiers and everyone played a very important role in taking the family’s business forward. However, the individual success of the descendants was not under the control of any single person as the family got bigger from the third generation onward and the businesses grew more independent. To make every business of the family a success in the future would be tough without coordination of all the other family members. Every crisis in Europe opened up new opportunities for the Rothschild family; rather, they utilized the conditions to their benefit. When the ghetto of Frankfurt was bombed by the French army in 1796, it reduced the restrictions placed upon Jews in Germany. As a result, Mayer’s

business flourished and his newly started banking business received a boost.. After the battle of Waterloo, Nathan and his brothers 3/14/2017 Aeren Foundation

concentrated on expanding the business and increasing the wealth of the family primarily by giving loans to governments. TheLondon House with the help of Paris, Frankfurt, Naples, and Vienna, between the years 1815 and 1859, issued a total of 50 loans worth 250 million sterling pounds, mainly to governments which were in need . The Rothschild family banks altogether became the most powerful bank in financial history and dominated bond issues. According to some industry experts, the principal contribution of the Rothschild family to nineteenth century capitalism was the development of the bond market. The early days of the 19th century saw the introduction of the taxation system and the Rothschild’s style of operating with a single commercial account couldn’t sustain itself. The different Houses continued with their separate businesses independently. The failure of the Rothschild’s Austrian bank in the 1930s, the Nazis seizing the family’s property in Austria, and the nationalization of the French Bank in the 1980s showed a breakdown in the power and control the Rothschild family had enjoyed for nearly 200 years...

 Answer the following question.

Q1. Comment on the success of the family business of Rothschilds and their strategic moves.

Q2. Explain how the family beliefs, culture, and faith in religion played an important role in decision • making of the owners.

The good connections that Mayer developed during this period earned him the title of court agent. By 1780, Mayer had become a wellknown trader of coins, medals, and antiques in Frankfurt . He made enough money to buy a new house in 1787. The growing circle of suppliers and customers in his existing business gave him the impetus to move into the banking business by the early 1790s. Over the next few years, Mayer’s banking

business achieved remarkable growth and, by 1797, he was counted among the richest Jews in Frankfurt. Mayer had 5 sons and 5 daughters. By the end of the 18th century, his banking business had become too big for him to control alone. One of the major

reasons for the success of the Rothschild family was the individual success of the five sons of Mayer. According to Amschel, Nathan acted like the commanding general in London, and the four brothers were like his soldiers and everyone played a very important role in taking the family’s business forward. However, the individual success of the descendants was not under the control of any single person as the family got bigger from the third generation onward and the businesses grew more independent. To make every business of the family a success in the future would be tough without coordination of all the other family members. Every crisis in Europe opened up new opportunities for the Rothschild family; rather, they utilized the conditions to their benefit. When the ghetto of Frankfurt was bombed by the French army in 1796, it reduced the restrictions placed upon Jews in Germany. As a result, Mayer’s

business flourished and his newly started banking business received a boost.. After the battle of Waterloo, Nathan and his brothers 3/14/2017 Aeren Foundation

concentrated on expanding the business and increasing the wealth of the family primarily by giving loans to governments. TheLondon House with the help of Paris, Frankfurt, Naples, and Vienna, between the years 1815 and 1859, issued a total of 50 loans worth 250 million sterling pounds, mainly to governments which were in need . The Rothschild family banks altogether became the most powerful bank in financial history and dominated bond issues. According to some industry experts, the principal contribution of the Rothschild family to nineteenth century capitalism was the development of the bond market. The early days of the 19th century saw the introduction of the taxation system and the Rothschild’s style of operating with a single commercial account couldn’t sustain itself. The different Houses continued with their separate businesses independently. The failure of the Rothschild’s Austrian bank in the 1930s, the Nazis seizing the family’s property in Austria, and the nationalization of the French Bank in the 1980s showed a breakdown in the power and control the Rothschild family had enjoyed for nearly 200 years...
