The various regulatory measure taken by SEBI and the Government brought confidence in the investors and the capital market has witnessed strong growth in the past few years due to the keen interest from both the foreign institutional investors as well as domestic investors. Today, investing in capital market is quite complex and the investor should take due care while choosing the investment options. Generally the investor has to consider the fundamentals, analysis of return (pricing), and investor preference etc. before the investment decisions. For the analysis and the selection of the best security, a number of models and techniques are available and Capital asset Pricing Models are used widely to decide the risk return relationship of securities in the market. But the literature shows that the testing of the empirical validity of these models give different results in different markets. Therefore this study is an attempt to test the suitability of CAPM in Indian context by using 9 years daily data of 70 companies which has been the part of BSE -100 Index. ····· 10361115659

Power grids share basic characteristics with Supply Chain Management. Since resilient behavior is not an individual or specific system`s attribute but a holistic phenomenon based on the synergic interaction within complex systems, resilience drivers in power grids were identified. Resilience is a function of Reliability, Recovery capability, Vulnerability and Pipeline Capacity. In order to embed heterogeneous variables into the model, parameterization of resilience drivers were developed. A principle of improving resilience through redundancy was applied in the model by using a virtual redundancy in each link which allows reliability improvement throughout the entire network. Vulnerability was addressed through a quantitative standard and mitigated through security allocation.Decision makers are enabled to improve overall power grid performance through reliability development as well as security allocation at the more strategic links identified by the optimal solutions. ····· 10361115635

Little attention is given to explaining the practical processes and actions by which an entrepreneurial business is developed. Providing a new perspective to existing literature, this case study presents a functionalist approach to examining and explaining how organisational and business practices are undertaken in the entrepreneurial firm, The Last Bag. The study examines, from an ANT perspective, how the entrepreneur navigates around the pitfalls that threaten the survival of a small entrepreneurial firm. It suggests that the success of an entrepreneurial firm is ultimately dependent on alliance formations and and an actor`s ability to `interest` other actors into an `actor-world`. The case study is potentially of interest to scholars in the fields of entrepreneurship or business development - and really anyone who is dedicated to exploring ANT.

Based on this lens are qualitative interviews led to collect empirical data from two hierarchical levels in four companies with very different businesses. After analysis, the study shows that the strategic drift is well known by companies. Good communication is recognised as a way to tackle this strategic drift and is high on companies` agenda. The project-structure owns several assets (like customization, size and resilience) which make it better to process information flow and which eventually reduce or eliminate the strategic drift. Yet, classical organisations and project-structures seem to create synergy for a company which uses adequately both, regarding the type of business. ····· 10361115364
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Over the past two decades, Uganda has implemented a number of public sector reforms enabling the country to register one of the most impressive economic turnarounds in Sub-Saharan Africa. General Idi Amin`s power grab had prompted a period of political instability and insecurity, leading the economy into a period of prolonged decay. The amelioration of conflict, kick-started rapid economic growth, which has now been sustained for some 20 years (Selassie, 2008). The growth momentum has remained strong, with real economic growth averaging close to 8 percent over the last 5 years. Many analysts have often attributed this improvement and performance to the quality of macroeconomic management with relative improvements in public financial management systems. However, these reforms are yet to yield significant shifts in the structural transformation of the economy. Compared with other economies that have experienced such long episodes of sustained growth, the Ugandan economy remains more reliant on subsistence agriculture while poverty reduction still remains a challenge. ····· 10361115361

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This work analyzes the role of innovation in M&A deals. On this topic literature is controversial. Some authors considered M&As as poison pills for innovation due to lack of resources and time managers can devote to innovation . Some others claimed that, under particular circumstances, an M&A can favor a right recombination of skills that can produce innovative outcomes. Starting from the critical review of these issues, my work would try to support the thesis that innovation can be produced from a M&A deal, evaluating the impact of innovation on M&A performances and describing how innovation can be managed. These questions have been answered through an inductive study focused on the analysis of 40 large M&A deals of the last decade. The main conclusions support the theories that consider M&As as opportunities to achieve innovativeness. It has been found that when companies have complementary skills, the potential innovative outcome and the achievable performances are higher. This research shows that there could be different profitable patterns of innovation management, which spread a peculiar type of innovation and require specific arrangements. ····· 10361115245

It then discusses key aspects of corporate governance. Survey evidence indicates that corporate governance is fairly understood in the insurance industry in Zimbabwe. Research findings further reveal that directors` remuneration is mainly a function of company performance and that to some extent Zimbabwean insurance companies are owner-managed. Other findings from the study suggest that enterprise- wide risk management is embraced by a few insurance companies and that boards are, to a great extent, chaired by non-executive directors who are not necessarily independent.Results of this study suggest that while an outright claim that insurance company collapses are wholly attributed to poor corporate governance is not well supported with empirical evidence at hand, it might be that in some cases corporate governance is not always put in practice by directors as well as it might be and could be that for some insurance companies more needs to be done. ····· 10361115242
