...Executive Summary This report aims at providing an overall analysis of the repayment behavior of the SME loan borrowers of Brac Bank Limited. Before going to the analysis, it is mandatory to know something about the organization, its core products that it offers to its customers; about the SME loan, its classifications and the whole of its process starting from loan sanction to recovery and closing of the loan. That’s why, first of all, I made an overview of the organization, BRAC bank Limited, where I had completed my internship program. Here I tried to focus the bank’s history of origination, its mission and vision, major departments and business units and major products and services. Then I said something about Asset Operations Department, the department where I was to perform my job responsibility. SME is the next section where I gave my concentration. Here I focused on the terms and conditions of giving SME loan, enterprise selection criteria and documentation. Then talked about the procedure of SME loan where I delineated the sanction, disbursement, repayment and closing of SME loan. After talking about the whole process of SME loan, I made an attempt to analyze the repayment behavior of SME loan borrowers. For this end in view, I have collected information about 20 SME borrowers. Then I have chosen eight major variables which have an impact on the recovery rate of SME loan. That is, these are the variables which may change the repayment behavior of SME borrowers...

...The Global Pharmaceutical Industry Case Analysis This case by Sarah Holland and Bernardo Bátiz-Lazostudies studies the evolution of the ethical pharmaceutical industry and analyses the various forces affecting the discovery, development, production, distribution and marketing of prescription drugs. The authors further analyses the critical issues of corporate social responsibility in the industry and the strategies being followed by major pharmaceutical companies and the challenges and opportunities for the future. This case bases its research to find evidence to support or disprove findings of a report published in the Gardiner by analysts at the investment bank of Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein which claimed that the world's major drugs companies are operating a business model that is unsustainable and rapidly running out of steam. On the surface however, the pharmaceuticals business seems like the epitome of a modern, mature industry that has found a comfortable way to make profits by the billion. According to the case large pharmaceuticals companies are currently facing the most challenging times since a decade. Even though the industry has made tremendous contributions to human well-being, its roles and actions are still criticized by the media and under constant scrutiny by national governments in their efforts to reduce expenditure in healthcare.

...making. As it has been demutualized recently by this new act, DSE has turned into a profit making company. In our financial market it has been expected to have a significant impact. Only separating ownership and trading rights is not the objective of demutualization. Two other major objectives are to ensure greater and improved governance, and to ensure efficiency and performance of the exchange. As major financial restructuring was shouted out, demutualization is implemented as one step towards that. After the demutualization the ownership structure has been changed. While previously the ownership was confined to the members of the DSE, now the shareholders will be the owner of the exchange. Another change is that DSE now has a different legal form as it is now a company not a mutual organization. Authorized capital of DSE is Tk. 25,000,000,000 which is divided into 2,500,000,000 shares having face value of Tk. 10 for each. Paid up capital presently is Tk. 18,037,765,000 which comprises 1,803,776,500 shares. These shares are allotted equally to 250 initial shareholders of the DSE. Thus each shareholder got 7,215,106 shares having total value of Tk. 72,151,060. After the demutualization, assets of DSE are revalued as per the direction of the ‘The Exchanges Demutualization Act, 2013’. In revaluation, Net Assets method...

...corporate governance and risk management can make the financial system more secure has become a crucial question. Clifford Chance organised three round-table debates between 2009-2010 to assess this issue. With financial regulatory reform continuing to dominate the global political agenda, Clifford Chance has decided to publish a summary of these discussions as part of its commitment to promoting a balanced and informed analysis of the challenges that lie ahead. Much has been written and spoken about the causes of the financial crisis. Most people accept it is time to learn the lessons and move on. While the need to reform the banking and the financial services sector is beyond question, there is a tension between the desire to ‘get it right’ and the intense pressure for politicians and regulators to act quickly and decisively. In the ensuing debate over regulation and reform, the real issues of corporate governance and risk management have been largely obscured by the remuneration question. “There are some conflicting imperatives,” said Michael Bray, a partner in Clifford Chance’s London office. “We still have a long way to go.” Among a host of challenges facing the global financial community are questions of its own reputation, harmonizing rules of conduct and regulation, and myriad issues surrounding individual and corporate behaviour and culture.

...Organizational Ethics of the Rent to Own Industry Christian Watson ETH/316 12/22/14 Irma Flores-Brothers/University of Phoenix Organizational Ethics of the Rent to Own Industry When it comes to the rent to own industry there are many questions of unethical behavior and Rent A Center as the industry leader is at the forefront of the questionable practices. It is relatively easy to obtain some of the hottest merchandise available today at rent to own stores at relatively cheap weekly and monthly rates. But in the world of rent to own nothing is truly how it seems because to obtain these deals customers can expect to pay as much as 311 percent in interest to own the merchandise. These high interest rates are the reason that many refer to the rent to own industry as “predatory lending”. High cost isn’t the only thing that is troubling the rent to own industry; the industry is also engaged in many questionable business practices. Among these practices allegations against companies such as Rent A Center and Aarons include: failure to disclose prior damage to rented property, instructing employee’s to make collection calls before account due dates, including contract provisions that illegally barred class-action law suits against the company’s and even allowing its employee’s to use collections practices that include banging on doors, cursing at customers, threatening arrest and demanding payments from third parties. Rent to own companies say that they offer a crucial service...

...------------------------------------------------- Clinical trial From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | This article may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. Please consider splitting content into sub-articles and using this article for a summary of the key points of the subject.(October 2010) | Clinical trials are a set of procedures in medical research and drug development that are conducted to allow safety (or more specifically, information about adverse drug reactions and adverse effects of other treatments) and efficacy data to be collected for health interventions (e.g., drugs, diagnostics, devices, therapy protocols). These trials can take place only after satisfactory information has been gathered on the quality of the non-clinical safety, and Health Authority/Ethics Committee approval is granted in the country where the trial is taking place. Depending on the type of product and the stage of its development, investigators enroll healthy volunteers and/or patients into small pilot studies initially, followed by larger scale studies in patients that often compare the new product with the currently prescribed treatment. As positive safety and efficacy data are gathered, the number of patients is typically increased. Clinical trials can vary in size from a single center in one country to multicenter trials in multiple countries. Due to the sizable cost a full series of clinical trials may incur, the burden of paying for all the necessary people and services...
