By investment, economists mean the production of goods that will be used to produce other goods, wherein decision to purchase stock or bonds are thought as investment. An investment theory is a concept based on different factors processing of invests to determine how to choosing the right investments for a particular goal or purpose. When it comes to investing, there is no shortage of investment theories can be applied it to makes the markets tick. Odd Lot Theory is contrarian strategy based of a very simple form of technical analysis which measuring odd lot sales. An odd-lot trade is one of less than 100 shares and only small investors tend to engage in odd-lot transactions How successful an investor or trader following the theory is depends heavily on whether the investor checks the fundamentals of companies that the theory points toward or simply buys blindly. Small investors are not going to be right or wrong all the time, so it is important to distinguish odd lot sales that are occurring from a low-risk tolerance from odd lot sales that are due to bigger problems. Individual investors are more mobile than the big funds and thus can react to severe news faster, so odd lot sales can actually be a precursor to a wider sell-off in a failing stock instead of just a mistake on the part of minor investors. The odd-lot trader is on the correct path as the market is going up that is selling off part...

...Summary In the face of consumer changes and current economic conditions, Clorox must make several key decisions regarding resource allocation and strategic focus across its product divisions. Specifically, there has been a strong focus since 2006 on product sustainability and green initiatives. As such, Clorox needs to determine if this is the right strategy to pursue for the long-term and if it needs to be green organization-wide, not just toward a few products. In recent years, many changes have been made to start shifting public perception of Clorox toward being an eco-friendly supporter. Due to this strategy and consumer trends, Clorox should stay the path of being an eco-friendly, green organization. Current consumer preferences support the notion that green sustainability is a megatrend, not a passing fad. To achieve the Centennial Strategy goal of double-digit profit growth in 2013 and to implement green initiatives and best practices across all Clorox product divisions, small changes in strategy and an increase of approximately $18 million in marketing and advertising needs to happen in the short run. The tweak in strategy will open new growth opportunities in other consumer segments, which will allow Clorox to capitalize on consumer trends and increase revenue. Advertising will support and educate these new segments and is based on the original advertising campaigns that were launched for these divisions in previous years. Research and development will continue in the...

...to increase their revenue and market share. It is essential that within this current climate, the organisation adapts their strategies to the internal and external demands of the constantly changing environment to secure their financial position for the future. This report has been designed to provide an in depth strategic analysis of the internal and external environments the BBC operates in. Our internal analysis has demonstrated that BBC has high levels of turnover but the gearing level has also been rising. To counteract this it has been recommended that the BBC can exploit their resources and implement a short term strategy to increase their services by publishing adverts, expanding the BBC iPlayer internationally and introducing pay per view services to create additional revenue streams to combat the stagnated and threatened licence fee and government grants. The external analysis has indicated that technology has been rapidly changing and competitive rivalry is an issue within this industry therefore a long term opportunity has been recommended for the BBC, to penetrate into BRIC and other international markets to promote their brand and take advantage of the huge growth potential in these markets whilst creating larger profits to be reinvested in quality, their people and technological advancement.

Please address all correspondence to me at wschan@mit.edu. 1 1 INTRODUCTION 1 2 Introduction There is a large amount of evidence that stock prices are predictable. In the last decade, various studies have shown that stock returns exhibit reversal at weekly and 3-5 year intervals, and drift over 12-month periods.1 Some research shows that stock prices appear to drift after important corporate events for up to several months.2 This suggests that some of the drift is driven by underreaction to information. However, there are also numerous days when financial markets move dramatically, but without any apparent economic news or...

...BALANCED SCORECARD APPLICATION IN LENDING/MICROFINANCING INSTITUTIONS: A STRATEGIC MAP IMPLEMENTATION IN THE PHILIPPINES CONTEXT This paper studies the application of Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a powerful measurement and assessment system, in lending/micro financing institutions. Adopting the balanced scorecard (BSC) model, this exploratory study investigates the critical performance measures that lending/micro-financing institutions in the Philippines need to emphasize in their performance reporting to drive high performance. The proposed model can assist the lending institutions in assessing organizational performance, making it highly applicable for managers. Reviewing the existing literature, the paper also provides an implementation guide for BSC in the Philippines perspective. Eventually, the performance indicators for measurement purposes of the introduced case study are proposed. Keywords: Lending/ Micro financing Institutions, MFIs, Financial Services, Balanced Scorecard, BSC, Organizational Performance Assessment, performance reporting, Philippines. 1. Introduction In many developing countries, microfinance plays a vital role in providing the poor (i.e. micro-entrepreneurs, small farmers, fishermen) with access to credit and helping them improve their lives by encouraging entrepreneurial activity (Arch, 2005; Bhatt & Tang, 2011; Khandker, 1996; Llanto, 2004). It has also proven to be “a potent tool for poverty reduction by helping the poor...

...In Press, Business Ethics Quarterly Getting to the Bottom of “Triple Bottom Line”* by Wayne Norman and Chris MacDonald March 2003 Abstract: In this paper, we examine critically the notion of “Triple Bottom Line” accounting. We begin by asking just what it is that supporters of the Triple Bottom line idea advocate, and attempt to distil specific, assessable claims from the vague, diverse, and sometimes contradictory uses of the Triple Bottom Line rhetoric. We then use these claims as a basis upon which to argue (a) that what is sound about the idea of a Triple Bottom Line is not novel, and (b) that what is novel about the idea is not sound. We argue on both conceptual and practical grounds that the Triple Bottom Line is an unhelpful addition to current discussions of corporate social responsibility. Finally, we argue that the Triple Bottom Line paradigm cannot be rescued simply by attenuating its claims: the rhetoric is badly misleading, and may in fact provide a smokescreen behind which firms can avoid truly effective social and environmental reporting and performance. Introduction The notion of “Triple Bottom Line” (3BL) accounting has become increasingly fashionable in management, consulting, investing, and NGO circles over the last few years. The idea behind the 3BL paradigm is that a corporation’s ultimate success or health can and should be measured not just by the traditional financial bottom line, but also by its social/ethical and environmental performance...
