Besides, rapidly developing countries and China, in particular, are becoming one of the main sources of Foreign Direct Investment. This paper examines the entry mode choices of Chinese multinational enterprises in Spain. A new theoretical framework is proposed, where the entry mode preference is examined as a two-dimensional decision, namely joint- venture vs wholly-owned subsidiaries and greenfield vs acqusition projects. Then, after an empircial section dedicated to Chinese foreign direct investment in Europe, the study provides a special focus on Spain and reviews Chinese FDI flows on a regional, industry, and firm level. This is the first attempt so far to characterize the entry mode preference as a two-dimensional decision, and apply this framework to Chinese multinationals. Hence, this work should prove useful to academic researchers working in the field of Chinese investment as well as anyone who would like to get an overview of Chinese firms that have invested in Spain. ····· 10361114881

It has been argued that foreign capital inflow particularly in the form of FDI is likely to encourage national economic development in a host country by playing supportive role to local investment and by bringing many other benefits. Pakistan is a developing country and characterized by low per capita income, burden of external debt, lack of capital, low saving rate, rapid growth of population, and deficit in balance of payment etc. Domestic resources are short to finance the development needs of the country, therefore, FDI is one of the important sources of external finance for the economic growth and development of Pakistan. ····· 10361114747

The study shows that informal cross border traders encounter a lot of challenges during the conduct of their business. Some of these challenges, in terms of severity include border formalities, lack of government support and high transport costs. Informal traders are not organized and do not join associations. This study recommends that informal cross border traders` associations embark on recruitment campaigns to educate the informal cross border traders about the benefits they get by belonging to an association. It also encourages associations to come up with savings clubs to mobilize funds from members for loaning to those members in need at an interest. Finally it also recommends that the government come up with a set of relaxed regulations that would create a non formal board to oversee the informal trade activities. It would then make it mandatory for informal traders to register with the board, making it easier to monitor, regulate and intervene. ····· 10361114720

It has been done through the estimation of the long memory fractional parameter, using simulation technique. The study also investigates empirically the impact of global warming on global agricultural production. The simulation-result exhibits a non-trend behavior of global warming that produces a contradictory outcome of profound uncertainties against the case of true world temperature data trend. The results of empirical investigations assert that in the late 21st century unabated global warming would have a negative impact on global agricultural production in the aggregate and the impact could be severe if carbon fertilization benefits do not materialize, especially if water scarcity limits irrigation. In addition, if warming would not halt in the 2080s, but would continue on a path toward still higher global temperatures in the 22nd century, agricultural damage could be more severe. The study also shows that the composition of agricultural effects is likely to be seriously unfavorable to developing countries with the most severe losses in Africa, Latin America and India. ····· 10361114631

Due to the increasing importance of quality standards the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995 established the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Measures and the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT. These quality standards are also applicable on the production and exports of horticulture sector of Pakistan. Due to the imposition of WTO quality standards many quality issues and packaging problems have been generated. The study analyze the major fruit production and fruit exports of Pakistan before (1984-95) the implementation of the WTO quality standards and after the implementation of the WTO quality standards and the results shows that in Pakistan the level of WTO quality standards implication is very low. Public sector does not conduct quality control assessment. Due to the improper cold storage system for fruits most of the production goes waste. Although the production and exports of many fruits are increasing but still there is a need to give importance to the WTO quality standards certification. ····· 10361114494

The author believes that the success of a research paper relies greatly on using results from a number of these sources and formulating theories that are as objective as possible to maximize the validity of the findings. Thus, the present document examines the preparation of Bulgaria for future participation in the structural policies of the EU with the purpose of achieving economic and social harmonization on the basis of the introduction of principles of regional and social policy. Structural funds are among the instruments used to achieve the aims of economic and social harmonization, and thus the preparation for their most effective and efficient use during the pre-accession period is very important. Within this context, the book examines the necessary organizational, administrative, legal and financial measures which must be undertaken in the pursuit of successful future participation in the structural funds of the EU. ····· 10361114176

This book aims at not only reviewing the aforementioned literature but also making an appreciable contribution to it by presenting an alternative perspective on the transmission process of financial crises across the markets, which states that an interdependence effect experienced in non- crisis periods could weaken, could disappear completely and could veer as well in crisis periods as a result of the contagion process.The confirmation of the offered alternative perspective on the transmission process of financial crises across the markets gives rise to a very important policy implication to emerge:the policy-makers are less likely to be able to prevent financial crises experienced outside from being transmitted to their own country, even if they could exactly predict the interdependence effect to exist. ····· 10361113965

Some are proposing that investments from MNCs can play a part in poverty reduction, but little academic literature exists on business strategies for MNCs in poor markets. MNCs engage in various activities through FDI in developing markets, but traditional business approaches to new markets are no longer adequate. This book examines the characteristics of poverty, explores the promise of FDI and evaluates three new business approaches developed for MNCs entering poor markets. The analysis of the business strategies suggests five pointers for MNCs to help reduce poverty in developing countries. By following the five pointers MNCs can create a competitive advantage and form sustainable businesses that include instead of exclude the poor. The analysis should help shed some light on business opportunities in poor markets, and should be especially useful for professionals in International Business and Strategy fields, or anyone else who may be considering doing business in developing countries. ····· 10361113878

The industries in two industrial parks were studied i.e. Pul-e-Charki and Jumma Mohammad Mohammadi, where many Afghans are engaging with the traditional and modern manufacturing of goods. With the implementation of new economic policies many problems in the SME sector have been reduced and economic situations have improved. The establishment of new standardized industrial parks improved licensing procedures, new sources of raw material. Up gradation of machinery (from manual and semi mechanical to full mechanical methods) have contributed to expanding business. Likewise, entrepreneurs have more appropriate conditions to operate work themselves generating their creativity in production.
