...CHAPTER 1 GLOBALIZATION AND THE MULTINATIONAL FIRM SUGGESTED ANSWERS TO END-OF-CHAPTER QUESTIONS QUESTIONS 1. Why is it important to study international financial management? Answer: We are now living in a world where all the major economic functions, i.e., consumption, production, and investment, are highly globalized. It is thus essential for financial managers to fully understand vital international dimensions of financial management. This global shift is in marked contrast to a situation that existed when the authors of this book were learning finance some twenty years ago. At that time, most professors customarily (and safely, to some extent) ignored international aspects of finance. This mode of operation has become untenable since then. 2. How is international financial management different from domestic financial management? Answer: There are three major dimensions that set apart international finance from domestic finance. They are: 1. foreign exchange and political risks, 2. market imperfections, and 3. expanded opportunity set. 3. Discuss the three major trends that have prevailed in international business during the last two decades. Answer: The 1980s brought a rapid integration of international capital and financial markets. Impetus for globalized financial markets initially came from the governments of major countries that had begun to deregulate their foreign exchange and capital markets. The economic integration and globalization that began in the eighties...

...8th International Conference on Islamic Economics and Finance Measurement of Financial Development: A Fresh Approach Noureen Adnan 1 Financial development can be defined as the policies, factors, and the institutions that lead to the efficient intermediation and effective financial markets. A strong financial system offers risk diversification and effective capital allocation. The greater the financial development, the higher would be the mobilization of savings and its allocation to high return projects. Financial development can be measured by a number of factors including the depth, size, access, and soundness of financial system. It can be measured by examining the performance and activities of the financial markets, banks, bond markets and financial institutions. It is observed that higher the degree of financial development in a country, the wider will be the availability of financial services. A developed financial system offers higher returns with less risk. In this paper it is attempted to collect main components of financial development including Banks, Stock markets, insurance companies and bond markets for 41 economies during the period of 1988 to 2009. The method of principal component is utilized to extract a single financial development index out of them. Principal component analysis is a modern tool of data analysis.

... CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Risk management structure should be well thought-out, as well as a cultural fit and sustainable. (Smiechewicz, 2001) Uncertainty is not measurable. Risk is. - Frank Knight, Risk, Uncertainty and Profit (1921) 1.1 Introduction Success in business, to a certain degree, requires owners and managers to take calculated risks. The most successful business is usually managed by people who know when to push forward and when to pull back, when to buy and when to sell, when to stand firm and when to compromise. The successful company is managed by people who understand what risk in business is, and how this risk should be managed and mitigated. Risk is an undeniable reality of doing business today, whether domestically or globally. A successful entrepreneur does not fear risk, but strives to understand it, to manage it, even to take advantage of it. As risk management tools and techniques become more and more complex, however, companies require the services of a Risk Management specialist. A growing specialty in this field, globally, is that of international accounting risk management. International accounting professionals can contribute to the 2 success of their companies must have a strong grasp of financial risk management techniques for multinational and multilateral business transactions of great complexity. Unfortunately, as the world of business becomes increasingly borderless, risk management becomes, likewise, borderless, and thus...

...German University 2 Thesis Advisor, Swiss German University Abstract The analysis of biological assets valuation with fair value accounting and historical cost accounting method in plantation subsector of Indonesian agricultural industry, in the period of 2007-2012, tries to evaluate the relevance of historical cost towards the fair value of biological assets. It also tries to look for empirical evidence on the differences in calculations on biological assets between FVA and HCA toward company’s EBIT, net income, and potential tax liabilities. The research tests 5 companies within the plantation subsector in agricultural industry listed in Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI). This study shows that there is a strong correlation between all variables tested. Among all statistical tests conducted, all hypotheses are rejected. This study concludes that the historical value of biological assets does not represent its real fair market value, or irrelevant. Also, the change in biological assets valuation from historical cost to fair value accounting would significantly affect the company’s EBIT, tax expense, and net income. Keywords: Fair Value, Historical Cost, Agricultural Industry, Plantation, Fair Market, EBIT, Tax Expenses, Net Income. 1. Introduction The dynamic market condition, particularly the volatility of the country’s economic conditions will likely affect the company’s performance over time (Besanko, Dranove, Shanley, & Schaefer, 2007).

Implication on global economic III, Conclusion I, Introduction Asia is the most dynamic region in the world economy at present. The development of Asia is twice the rate when compared to the other regions. The policy orientation, which stresses free movement of capital, goods and services across the national boundaries are the reasons for the growth which is possible now. The economic efficiency and transfer of technology which foster shifts in productions and comparative advantages are the results of the enhancement. (Chong) Because of the Global Financial Crisis, Southeast Asia has been the Gold rush modern- day as international companies clamor to get a piece of the action. As the major part of the young population of 600million and the increasing middle class people are the few bright spots for economic growth and investment returns. Unfortunately, according to my research has found that much of this region’s growth in recent years had been by ballooning credit and asset bubbles a pattern that is also occurring in the numerous emerging economies across the globe.

The research is expected to answer the importance question: Are HRM practices influenced by national culture or not? It is generally accepted that the practices of management is considered to be universal until Hofstede (1980:42) published the seminal work: Culture’s Consequences: International Differences in Work Related Value in 1980.

Kearney released its last Foreign Direct Investment Confidence Index, the global economy has faced unprecedented turmoil—a housing market collapse, a banking system teetering on the edge, rising unemployment and falling sales across almost all industries. In the 2010 FDI Confidence Index®, we examine the future prospects for international investment flows in the context of these tumultuous times. While conditions have improved, senior executives at the world’s largest companies remain wary of investing during the current climate, and few expect a full turnaround before 2011. Amid the economic downturn of the past two years, several emerging markets remain attractive to foreign investors. China, India and Brazil are in the top five of the 2010 Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Confidence Index, while emerging markets with large consumer bases, such as Indonesia and Vietnam, also rank highly. However, some smaller, more open emerging economies dropped in the rankings. For example, Hong Kong, a globalized economy according to the A.T. Kearney Globalization Index, fell to 14th.1 In Asia, investors are...
