...Project Finance and Private Public Partnership in financing logistics infrastructure. Introduction Finance scholars acknowledge a clear-cut distinction between corporate finance and project finance. The two techniques are considered as basically different approaches to the problem of raising debt to fund capital investments. In corporate finance lenders assess the creditworthy of a whole company, evaluating the going concern, the full range of projects in place, and the cautional value of all the assets. The amount to lend and the risk-spread are decided on a global evaluation of the firm’s economic and financial situation. In project finance, the goal is the implementation of a specific project. Lenders typically finance a special purpose vehicle for the development and construction of a particular project, looking to cashflows and project’s assets as sources of payment for their loans, rather than to the credit ratings of the project sponsors. Historically project finance was widely used in financing transport and logistics infrastructure, like railways or channels. More recently, in the past decades, there has been a new wave of global interest: large amounts of debt have been raised to finance projects like motorways, distriparks, maritime ports, intermodal logistic platforms. These infrastructures are built, owned and operated by special purpose vehicles (SPV), organized for that single project and financed mainly by debt. In many cases, SPVs are not wholly owned by private...

...As a brief description of the subject in the study, the life cycle of logistics can also be maximized through establishing effective management organizing efforts to maintain a certain company’s operational structure that will avoid or prevent errors and mismanagement that can take place within the corporation. In this case, the 360 degree logistics can be found when there will be a capital expenditure that will be carried out to fund materials and human resources that will be helping to manufacture product.

The monetary value will be distributed to the accounting department of a certain organization to fund services, raw materials, and salaries to employees that completes the life cycle of the business operating organization.

...Introduction Today there is great interest in the technology class BIG DATA, connected with the continued growth of data that have to operate large companies. The accumulated information for many organizations is an important asset, but handle it and benefit from it every day becomes more and more expensive. In my essay, I will try to describe the concept of "big data" and explain how it works. What "Big data" means? The concept of big data is rapidly gaining popularity. However, the exact idea of what constitutes a concept is not at all, especially for people outside the IT-sphere. The easiest way to explain this ignorant man on a practical example. Two years ago, a huge network of Target stores began using machine learning in the interaction with customers. As a training sample used data collected by the company for several years. As markers of specific customers to use banking and nominal discount cards. Algorithms analyze how and in what conditions were changing consumer preferences, and make predictions. And, on the basis of these forecasts, the buyer makes all sorts of special offers. In the spring of 2012, a scandal broke out when the father of twelve years old school girl complained that his daughter sent leaflets with suggestions for pregnant women. When the network is already prepared Target recognize the error and apologize to the aggrieved customers, it turned out that the girl really was pregnant, even though she and her father at the time of the complaint did...

PUNE 2-4 December 2009: As delegates assembled in Pune, India’s car sales figures for November were released – and they made startling reading. Growth is back in India: market leader Maruti Suzuki saw sales jump 60% over the same month in 2008 (though only 17% up on 2007); Tata Fiat was up 55%; Hyundai up 93%; GM up 65%; and Mahindra more than doubled at 102%. The figures confirm that late 2008 was just a brief pause in the upward trajectory of car production and sales. But logistics is groaning under the strain. Both speakers and delegates lamented the low cost/low investment logistics model which exists in the automotive sector in India. OEMs called for a significant increase in the low level of involvement from sophisticated 3PLs.
