...diversification through the creation of internal capital markets (Williamson, 1970), higher debt capacity (Lewellen, 1971; Shleifer & Vishny, 1992) and economies of scope (Teece, 1980). Meanwhile, the costs of diversification stem mainly from agency problems. Managers may diversify to protect their human capital (Amihud & Lev, 1981), to increase their private benefits (Jensen, 1986; Morck et al., 1990), or to entrench themselves (Shleifer & Vishny, 1989). Within a diversified firm, managers may have easy access to capital through cross subsidization (Meyer et all., 1992), which may lead to over-investment (Jensen, 1986; Stulz, 1990; Berger & Ofek, 1995). Recent literature shows that corporate diversification strategies are associated with significant value loss and that increasing corporate focus is value-enhancing. Examples of these studies include Lang and Stulz (1994), liebeskind and Opler (1994), Berger and Ofek (1995, 1996), Comment and Jarrell (1995), John and Ofek (1995), Servaes (1996), and Denis et. Al. (1997). The evidence in thse studies suggests that the costs of diversification outweigh the benefits. Given the extensive evidence that diversification is associated with a reduction in firm value. Even firms in the developing countries inclusive Malaysia, international diversification had gradually become integral part of the business growth strategy since the late 1980s. 2.0 INTERNATIONAL DIVERSIFICATION and INDUSTRY DIVERSIFICATION Based...

...trust and reliance placed by investors, analysts and other stakeholders. Superior financial reporting could be useful in convincing a firm’s present and potential employees of its financial soundness, so that as key users of firm’s accounting information they can trust the firm as a dependable employer. The rising use of pay for performance plans and the need for international tradability of employees stocks and stock options further underscore the need for respectable accounting rules. Harmonization with Global financial market Increasingly, Indian accountants and businessmen feel theneed for convergence with IFRS. Capital markets provide an important explanation for this change. Some Indian companies are already listed on overseas stock exchanges and many more will list in the future. Internationally acceptable accounting standards will then become the language of communication for Indian companies. Better access to and reduction in the cost of capital raised from global capital markets since IFRS are now accepted as a financial reporting framework for companies seeking to raise funds from most capital markets across the globe.

RAJAN AND LUIGI ZINGALES* This paper examines whetherfinancial developmentfacilitates economic growth by scrutinizing one rationale for such a relationship: thatfinancial development reduces the costs of external finance to firms. Specifically, we ask whether in-dustrial sectors that are relatively more in need of externalfinance develop disproportionately faster in countries with more-developedfinancial markets. We find this to be true in a large sample of countries over the 1980's. We show this result is unlikely to be driven by omitted variables, outliers, or reverse causality.

...run the easiest.” Henry Miller “[These are colossal] disproportions that have accumulated over the last few years. This primarily concerns disproportions between the scale of financial operations and the fundamental value of assets, as well as those between the increased burden on international loans and the sources of their collateral. … In effect, our proposal implies that the audit, accounting and ratings system reform must be based on a reversion to the fundamental asset value concept. In other words, assessments of each individual business must be based on its ability to generate added value, rather than on subjective concepts. In our opinion, the economy of the future must become an economy of real values. How to achieve this is not so clear-cut. Let us think about it together.” From the Address of Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister of Russia, at the Davos Economic Forum (February, 2009) This Part analyzes the pre-analytical foundations and macro-economic impact of the Modern Portfolio Theory1 (MPT) tenets, on which much of the present Western investment theory and financial economics is erected. Our general inference is that while the former are tautological at their core and treat capital investment pricing processes as if those relate to an impersonal network of natural oscillators, the latter are perceivably dangerous in spite of the belief in the strong ‘performativity’ (self-fulfillment) of MPT (McKenzie, 2006). Performative the MPT may be, but this performativity...

...globe where some genius brains have been able to use the vulnerable platform of stock market to their own advantage by enriching themselves enormously at the cost of unprecedented financial losses to thousands of others. A common tool used by these manipulative brains is what in common parlance is known as Insider trading. With the vast developments in trade and commerce all over, every person has become very materialistic. That is the reason why people in general and particularly those in business have developed profit motives. And it is quite often that to fulfill their own monetary expectations, such people employ illegal or immoral means. One such illegal method used by some vested interests in area of corporate business is insider trading.[1] Thus, when an insider of a company uses its price sensitive confidential information to buy or sell its securities thereby making a personal profit, he commits acts to the detriment of the interests of bona fide investors of the company. However, in reality, insider trading can be both legal and illegal. Legal in the sense when the corporate insiders officers, directors, and employees buy and sell stock in their own companies, whereas illegal insider trading refers to buying and selling of stock by corporate insiders not within their own company.[2] UK and USA had long back created separate boards for the regulations of the securities market. UK has the securities and investment Board (SIB) and USA...

...Abstract The paper talks about the primary market, FDIs, capital makets, banking sector and infrastructure financing as well. With all these elements in the India Financial market, it happens to be one of the oldest across the globe and is definitely the fastest growing and best among all the financial markets of the emerging economies. The history of Indian capital markets spans back 200 years, around the end of the 18th century. It was at this time that India was under the rule of the East India Company. The capital market of India initially developed around Mumbai; with around 200 to 250 securities brokers participating in active trade during the second half of the 19th century. The journey of Indian financial markets has been of many shades over the last decade. We have seen a lot of progress, but also significant pauses. Many twists and as many turns. Awe inspiring growth punctuated by its gasping lack of inclusiveness. Presumably, these are the teenage pangs of a free economy which is jostling for its rightful place in the Globe. The fastest free market economy is now face to face with the challenges and opportunities to opt for either slow and steady or fast and furious growth, in the next decade. Financial market You are fully aware that business units have to raise short-term as well as long-term funds to meet their working and fixed capital requirements from time to time. This necessitates not only the ready availability of such funds but also a transmission...
