The internationalization and deregulation of domestic financial systems since the 1980s has increased the risks and propensity of failure in national banking systems and financial markets, as experienced in Russia, Brazil and Asia. Through an insightful analysis of confidential information secured after the fall of Esbank in Turkey, this book shows that bankruptcy for profit, namely looting and outright fraud, was an important cause of the Turkish banking crisis during the 1990s. Looting primarily involved lending the bank's resources to firms that were directly controlled by the parent company - also the largest shareholder of the bank. The failure to establish an effective system of regulation and supervision against financial...

China is undergoing a dramatic economic revolution. This has posed many policy challenges for the government. One area of concern is the strength of the banking and finance sector and whether it can be modernised without collapsing. This book is a study of banking and finance sector reform during the decade surrounding China’s accession to the World Trade Organisation in 2001. The book examines the complex relationship between banking reform, the emergence of the Chinese stock market and the challenge of reforming state owned industries. The author assesses the government’s cautious approach to reform, which the Chinese call ‘crossing the river by feeling the stones’, through a highly original exploration of debates among Chinese...

This study advances our understanding of international new ventures by investigating the entire start-up, growth and management process of such ventures. By looking at the process from an initial idea to the development and management of an international new venture, the study also develops existing findings that entrepreneurs in these ventures often rely on their social and friendship ties. But the study takes this idea much further. In addition to investigating network ties generally, the study investigates the founding and early success of an international network of luxury leather goods producers and distributors in order to show how the dynamics of ethnic ties facilitate management and growth in international new ventures.

Die europaische Borsenlandschaft befindet sich seit mindestens zwei Jahrzehnten in einem dramatischen Wandel. Die technologischen Fortschritte sowie die Deregulierung und Liberalisierung fuhrten zu einer weitgehenden Integration der globalen Finanzmarkte. Seit der Einfuhrung des Euros sehen Investoren die Wertpapiermarkte im Euro-Raum als einen einheitlichen Kapitalmarkt. Borsen sind seither mit einem verscharften Wettbewerb konfrontiert, dem sie mit verschiedenen Strategien begegnen. Eine mogliche Strategie ist die Borsenkooperation, welche zunehmend zu beobachten ist. Diese Arbeit untersucht zwei Borsenzusammenschlusse unterschiedlichen Integrationsgrades in der Europaischen Union - Xetra und Euronext. Es erfolgt einerseits eine...

This thesis is about how to measure the capacities and capabilities that national governments in poor countries have in developing the institutions that govern their country and how they can promote their development. As International Financial Institutions (IFIs) and rich countries have emphasized the importance and role of institutions and governance structures, we can investigate whether the exercise of collecting data on the quality of these institutions has led to a deeper understanding of the underlying process and better development outcomes. At first we will see how the developments and results of development assistance have launched the concept of good governance in recent times. Further on, we will see that this emphasis on...

Nach dem Assoziierungsabkommen von 1993/95 sind die Aufnahmebedingungen fur die Kandidaten klar umrissen. Sie betreffen vordergrundig handelspolitische Fragen, Umweltprobleme und den bilateralen Dialog generell. Globalisierung erweist sich auch hier als ein vordergrundig okonomischer Prozess.

The Chinese market is rapidly increasing and yet its full potential is, by far, not reached. Foreign companies are competing for the opportunity to be a part of the development of China and Swedish companies are no exception. Sweden is a country that, to a large extent, is dependent on international trade and due to this fact China is a very important emerging market. We believe that its size and potential will attract more and more Swedish companies in the coming years. A crucial success factor when doing business internationally is the art of negotiation. According to Graham and Lam (2003) negotiating business deals in China will be one of the most daunting and interesting challenges facing Western executives during the next few...

Traditional theories, models, and methods within the business literature often address a general view of the environment including sociocultural, technological, political, and economic factors. However, there is a lack of infrastructural attention in these concepts which this paper intends to contribute with by analyzing how regional specific infrastructural variables can be aggregated to one comparative measure and what that measure's scope of use could be in the market analysis. In this paper, infrastructural data are compiled and calculated in a manner which allows an indexing which is presented as an Infrastructural Status Index (InfraStat Index). The contributions of this index are that it is a complementary part of the company's...

The phenomenon of emerging market economies have gained much attention from the global economy perspective in recent years. Although economic growth and various reforms restructure these markets, some common characteristics differentiate them from stabilised ‘market economies’. This study examines the operational environment of Western companies in Russia, focused on distribution, supply management, organisation structures, human resource management and forms of entry. Since the general business environment has a great influence on the business behaviour of companies, economic factors, market and institutions, legal-political and technical conditions are also observed. Moreover, the situation on the Russian market is compared with...

Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) has become an important management practice and a business strategy that yields many benefits to companies. Over the last decade the BPO service market has been growing at a steady pace, but the 2008-2009 economic crisis, that affected every economy in the world, also affected the BPO service market. The effects of the crisis will continue to be seen and the consequences will probably impact markets and economies in the years to come. In this context there is a need to see how the BPO service market is being affected, how the companies are coping with economic downturns, and how an outsourcing venture could be successfully undertaken under these conditions. Moreover, it is necessary to analyze whether...

There are groups of countries for which booms and recessions of economic activity occur approximately at the same time. They are said to have synchronous business cycles. However, there are countries the economic activity of which fluctuates very unevenly in relation to one another. This book uses several different methodologies to evaluate what effects the several factors have on bilateral business cycle synchronization. The book finds strong evidence that the bilateral trade intensity and similarity of economic development have the effect on business cycle synchronization. The findings of this work suggest that the true costs of joining a monetary union might be overestimated due to convergence and increased trade after joining a...

Byzantine currency, money used in the Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the West, consisted of mainly two types of coins: the gold solidus and a variety of clearly valued bronze coins. By the end of the empire the currency was issued only in silver stavrata and minor copper coins with no gold issue. Early Byzantine coins continue the late Roman conventions: on the obverse the head of the Emperor, now full face rather than in profile, and on the reverse, usually a Christian symbol such as the cross, or a Victory or an angel (the two tending to merge into one another). The gold coins of Justinian II departed from these stable conventions by putting a bust of Christ on the obverse, and a half or full-length portrait of the Emperor on...

Coffeeshops are establishments in the Netherlands where the sale of cannabis for personal consumption by the public is tolerated by the local authorities (in Dutch called gedoogbeleid). Under the drug policy of the Netherlands, the sale of cannabis products in small quantities is allowed by 'licensed' coffee shops. The majority of these "coffeeshops" also serve drinks and food. It is not allowed for a coffeeshop to serve alcohol (although in the past some coffeeshops in central Amsterdam have transgressed this law without reproach) or other drugs (a policy that is universally adhered to). The idea of coffeeshops was introduced in the 1970s for the explicit purpose of keeping hard and soft drugs...
