It had a favourable balance of trade only twice once in 1950-51 because of the increase in prices of primary commodities like cotton and other raw materials as a result of the Korean War boom the second time was after the devaluation of the rupee and the oil crisis in 1972-73. After that the trade deficits of Pakistan`s economy have been gradually and steadily increasing. So, can the depreciation of the Pak rupee improve this phenomenon This present study implies the error correction model to estimate the short run equilibrium and heterogeneous panel cointegration method to examine the long run relationship between the real exchange rate and the bilateral trade balance of Pakistan and her selected 4 major trading partners (USA,UK,China and Germany) for the period 1980-2008. Using annual data, the empirical results indicate the devaluation of the Pakistan rupee deteriorates her bilateral trade balance with China but improves it with USA, UK and Germany. In the panel cointegrated framework, a long- run negative relationship between the real exchange rate and the bilateral trade balance exists for Pakistan. ····· 10361113728

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. The sector has gained initial results in the beginning stages of the market oriented economy model. ····· 10361113606

Due to lack of studies on this growing market the current work aims to examine the performance of foreign companies acquiring Russian targets in the period of 1994-2009. A sample of 96 transactions was investigated to determine wealth created for bidding companies. Foreign acquirers show positive and statistically significant returns for several event windows. Thus, on average, the results support the argument that cross-border acquisitions in the Russian market create value for acquiring companies. The examination of factors that might influence the performance of bidding companies is also part of this research. The results show that acquirer size and previous acquisition experience have significant negative effect on value created in cross-border acquisitions, while acquirer profitability show a positive significant impact on the stock reaction to the announcement of M&A deals. This book should be particularly useful to professionals working in the field of M&As in the Russian market, students of Business studies, and anyone else interested in this topic. ····· 10361113232

Recent high profile corporate scandals and accusations of irresponsible behavior, however, have led to organizational crises and are pressuring the banking industry to modify current practices of for instance lending, advising and investment. U.S. banks were the first designated scapegoats when the financial crisis hit in late 2007.

The concept became important due to concerns for the lack of aid effectiveness in Africa, particularly among countries receiving high volumes of aid. It has been suggested that aid itself may be the problem. This book presents Zambia as a case of an aid dependent country. Aid dependency is defined, and the book shows how this may have an adverse effect on the course and the pattern of development. To begin with, the historical context of the development of the country s economy is analysed to establish the roots of this dependency. The financial and economic variables are then examined to establish the extent of aid dependency. Nevertheless, it is argued that aid dependency is more than a state of accounts. The debilitating effects extend to institutions responsible for economic policy-making including planning, budgeting and public finance management. Aid dependency also has serious implications for ownership and sovereignty, as the ability of policy makers to respond to the needs of the country is compromised by the dominance of donors in the aid relationship. ····· 10361112943

Dieser `Versorgungsausgleich` wurde durch das zum 01.09.2009 in Kraft getretene `Gesetz zur Strukturreform des Versorgungsausgleichs (VAStrRefG)` grundlegend neu geregelt. Durch den neuen Versorgungsausgleich wird bei einer Scheidung grundsätzlich jedes Anrecht auf eine Versorgung, soweit es in der Ehezeit erworben wurde, jeweils hälftig zwischen den geschiedenen Ehegatten intern geteilt. Für die Versorgungsträger stellt die neue Rechtslage eine besondere Herausforderung dar. Die meisten privaten und betrieblichen Versorgungsträger hatten eine Realteilung in der Vergangenheit ausgeschlossen und mussten meist nur eine Auskunft zu der betroffenen Versorgung geben. Durch das neue Gesetz muss jedoch die tatsächliche Teilung für jede einzelne Versorgung innerhalb der von den Familiengerichten vorgegebenen Fristen ermöglicht werden. Fondsgebundene Versicherungen werden in dem Gesetz nicht explizit erwähnt.Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Forschungsfrage, wie die Interessen der drei von dem Versorgungsausgleich betroffenen Parteien - ausgleichsverpflichtete Person, ausgleichberechtigte Person und Versorgungsträger - von den Gestaltungsspielräumen, die dem Versorgungsträger bei der Umsetzung des Versorgungsausgleichs vom Gesetzgeber gelassen werden, beeinflusst werden. Eine genaue Untersuchung hierzu findet für fondsgebundene Versicherungen statt. Dabei werden drei verschiedene Teilungsmöglichkeiten für fondsgebundene Versicherungen untersucht und in Bezug auf ihre Auswirkungen auf die Interessen der drei vom Versorgungsausgleich betroffenen Parteien hin verglichen. ····· 10361108491
für 45.80€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Lack of employment has pushed many people into self employment in the informal sector in Nairobi and Kenya at large. Micro and small enterprises (MSEs) are recognized by the government for their contribution to the GDP. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are assisting the operators of MSEs in this sector to become more entrepreneurial. The ICT that is widely used in the sector is the mobile phone. Studies done on the usage of ICTs among MSEs have mostly concentrated on the roles of computers and internet usage, and given contradicting results on the benefits of using these technologies in e-commerce. Evidence on the role of mobile phones among MSEs in Kenya is lacking, especially, the evidence on factors facilitating and preventing their adoption, and the effects of the adoption on the performance of an MSE. This thesis analyzed the determinants of mobile phone possession, the extent of its usage in e- commerce, and the impact of mobile phone usage on the performance of an MSE. The hypotheses that were tested and strongly rejected were: a) e-readiness factors that is, characteristics of the owner, the attributes of the firm and the environment under which the firm operates, have no effect on the adoption of mobile phones and their usage in e-commerce and b) the adoption of mobile phones and their use to transact business has no effect on the performance of an MSE. Data for the study was collected from the 8 divisions of Nairobi Province. Three models were estimated using these data, namely, the logit model, the probit model and the LPM (linear probability model). The main findings of the thesis are as follows: a) the majority of MSEs in Nairobi`s informal sector are poor although a few of them had sales running into millions of Kenya shillings b) the sector is dominated by literate people, the majority of whom were male operators c) many of the operators had mobile phones, and they used them for business transactions d) each MSE paid a daily fee of 20 Kenya shillings to the City Council officers e) the key readiness factor influencing the possession of the phone is electricity f) education has a strong influence on the usage of the phone for e-commerce and g) mobile phone possession and usage for e-commerce are highly associated with sales turnover and with employment creation within the informal sector. It is recommended that MSEs be categorized by the value of items sold and not the number of employees. A clear distinction should be made between MSEs in the informal sector and those in the formal sector. Further, a conducive, operating environment which accommodates electricity needs to be provided. Computer training and innovations associated with the usage of mobile phones should be encouraged and facilitated among MSEs to enhance their performance. Research on business start-ups and innovations due to mobile phone usage should be carried out. Finally, research on specific transactions of mobile phone usage in e-commerce needs to be conducted. ····· 10361107887
für 49.80€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book is needed as it helps in translating theories related to entrepreneurship into an understanding of the action on the ground in a developing country influenced by Buddhism. By doing so, the book builds entrepreneurial capacity regarding context and business activities in countries similar to Sri Lankan. The book does this by evidencing a case of co-creation of knowledge involving two universities, University of Nordland, Norway and University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka. The chapters all relates to how entrepreneurship is conducted, and how the institutional framework in Sri Lanka limits and opens for entrepreneurial opportunities. Together, the chapters evidence the interdisciplinary nature of entrepreneurship. The book project came into being when The Norwegian Centre for Cooperation in Higher Education (SIU) funded a NUFU cooperation project, `The entrepreneurial university`, as a co-operation between University of Nordland, Norway (UoN) and University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka (UoR). NUFU is an abbreviation for `The Norwegian Programme for Development, Research and Education`, and its aim is to build research and educational capacity in the south on issues important for the south. SIU is Norway`s official agency for international programmes and measures related to higher education. It is commissioned by several national and international public organisations to administer programmes within all levels of education. The aim of the book project is to generate new knowledge related to how UoR could facilitate entrepreneurial growth in its region. The NUFU project suggests that exploitations of marine resources could be the content of such an entrepreneurial effort. The studies reported in this book then represent different approaches to an understanding of how the institutional structures hinders or facilitate entrepreneurship in Sri Lanka. The universities involved in the book project hope that the outcome could strengthen our efforts to serve our public responsibilities as knowledge developers and knowledge providers. Universities also have a responsibility to activate knowledge and to help creating viable societies. This we seek to accomplish by doing the research reported in the book. We also hope that the reader of the book will gain new insights useful in their work. The teacher in entrepreneurship that would like to offer his students knowledge on the conditions for entrepreneurship in Sri Lanka would find a set of helpful insights. These insights are to some extent also relevant for other developing countries and countries similar to Sri Lanka. The practitioner is also provided support in his strives to understand the limitations and the opportunities that are available in such an environment. The included chapter also offers implication for policy makers seeking to improve the conditions and the institutional framework for entrepreneurship. Aid organizations need to cooperate with the forces shaping the business environment and the findings reported in the book could be helpful in this task. The ones interested in developing joint research between universities in the north (west) and the south (east) are also offered hints for improved practises. ····· 10361107323

When entering into China, the Western firms have to face some new network conditions that derive from its socio-cultural environment. This study aims to test one of the cultural specialties, guanxi`s effect on the foreign market entry process of the Western firms into China. Using data collected from Swedish firms established in China, the study finds that under the influence of guanxi, the market entry process of Western firms into China appear to show some different features compared with that into Western country markets. It takes more time to become established in China, more social activities and more non-business actors are involved in the process. These social activities within business circles are shown to contribute to the longer establishment time for Western firms operating in China. The findings suggest the existence of a social dimension to the business relationships and the need of a multi-level perspective of business relationships and networks. ····· 10361102737

While identifying it as one of the recent developments currently changing the physiognomy of global politics, it specifically focuses on its challenges, consequences and implications for Africa particularly, in the realm of equality of membership, requisite inputs into the policy process and, the encapsulating assertiveness of the global village. In the process, it was argued and revealed that, globalisation is the final conquest of capital over the rest of the world and that its `antecedents` and `uneven thesis` are explainable within the one- arm banditry and ethos of capitalism. Furthermore, it was argued that this will continue to be so, irrespective of its aim at the transcendental homogenization of political and socio-economic theory across the globe and its purported benefits to mankind. The central thesis of our study is that the asymmetry of power and interests of the member states of the global village, as well as the lopsidedness in the rules of the game there-in, cannot benefit Africa and her people. ····· 10361102693

The core engine of the GSVC is the unceasing attempt on the part of large and advanced capitalist enterprises to cut costs, in order to survive and thrive in the midst of global oligopolistic competition. A crucial characteristic of the globalizing services value chain GSVC, and one that goes a long way to explain its extraordinary expansive drive, is that it affects not only traditional services, but also many activities which were traditionally embodied in the industrial manufacturing process. Thanks to technological progress in information and communications technologies (ICTs) and other areas, these activities can presently be disembodied. Such a vertical disintegration of the production process allows the newly-created services activities to be performed in a remote location, transformed into informational inputs, and purchased through market transactions. ····· 10361102518

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The standard development and growth theory and practice in the post-Second World War era gravely misled about the key determinants of economic development. The postwar models focused mainly on the patterns of savings and investment by a representative household and firm. According to such models, the biggest development challenge was raising the rate of capital accumulation. The socialist economies-including the Soviet Union, China and, in case of even India, they took the emphasis on capital accumulation to the extreme, by employing various forms of compulsion, including extreme suppression of peasant incomes, to raise national saving rates in order to speed industrialization, urbanization and development. The savings-led model of development proved to be inadequate both in theory and in practice. China and India are the largest economies today, which have fully integrated into global markets but there are fundamentally different conditions in the two places such as differences in the extent of urbanization, industrialization, and rural development, even differences in solving poverty and unemployment problems. ····· 10361102387
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The idea that free trade is a desirable factor for the economy originates all the way back in the 18th century: Adam Smith (1776) predicted that countries could grow if they would all specialize according to their absolute advantage and that all will gain from free trade. David Ricardo (1817, p. 88) opposed tariffs based on the argument that they generate inefficient usage of domestic resources in his view, countries should specialize in goods for which they have a comparative productivity advantage. Recent studies have examined the relationship between openness and growth, with mixed results some (e.g. Edwards, 1993) argued that trade openness promotes growth, while others (Rodriguez and Rodrik,2000)have criticised this idea with a series of arguments, such as the inappropriateness of variables used for expressing trade openness.
