Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 brought international repercussions unlike any previous attacks. The Global War on Terrorism was launched in response to these attacks. Nine years after the GWOT was lunched, the international community views the military approach as ineffective, as a war against Muslims and as a means for US dominance. The international community doubt the intentions of the US government and view the western media as insensitive to non-westerners; as the GWOT has had little impact on reducing international terrorism. In addressing the root causes of international terrorism we have to look at general issues such as oppression, military interventions, unresolved conflicts and authoritarian regimes supported by Western imprealist rather that only focusing on more immediate causes and circumstances that motivate and facilitate specific campaigns and acts of international terrorism. 120 pp. Englisch.

UTI started India's first mutual fund in 1964 to mobilize household savings and investing the funds in capital markets. There are many type of mutual funds like equity, debt, balanced etc. SEBI has issued guidelines for the working of mutual funds. There are various risks associated with them but the returns are also high. The growth which accrues by investing in mutual funds is adding to the importance of mutual funds. Association of Mutual Funds (AMFI)has been created in 1995 to maintain professional and healthy environment in the market. Many companies like ABN AMRO, HDFC,UTI,TATA, ICICI are operating in this field. The Indian mutual fund industry has evolved from a single player monopoly in 1964 to a fast growing, competitive market on the back of a strong regulatory framework. The growth in this sector is tremendous and in future it has great prospects. Though, there are certain obstacles in the growth of mutual funds yet, regulatory framework and global competition will certainly improve upon. I Hope that this analysis will definitely contribute to the research by academicians,industry practitioners and students on the topic. 60 pp. Englisch.

The decline (though at varying levels) was also witnessed among emerging and developed stock markets. While various factors could be responsible for the performance observed, this study examined the role of selected emerging and developed stock markets on the performance of the Nigerian stock exchange. The philosophy of the study is premised on the increasing linkage of financial markets across the globe and the likely implication of such interdependence on their performance. Within the context of financial crisis, the major findings from the study were in two folds: first, the Nigerian stock exchange was more integrated to the developed stock markets during the crisis period hence, declining performance observed during the period studied in the Nigerian stock market, can be attributed to the financial crisis. Lastly, contrary to the role that counter cyclical policies are expected to play in stabilizing business circles, the Nigerian stock market was more responsive to oil market policy adjustments than to the monetary policy actions during the financial crisis. 76 pp. Englisch.

Since literature suggested that compared to CAC instruments, economic instruments are cost-effective, this study set out to examine whether fuel tax is indeed preferable. Quantitative analysis was carried out to evaluate the cost- effectiveness of policy measures. Toxicity weightage factors were assigned to the criteria pollutants to derive a composite index of toxic load' inventory while the prevailing costs were used for calculation. The findings of the research were mixed. While banning of new two-stroke motorcycles was found to be most cost-effective, setting of emissions standards for diesel vehicles was least cost-effective. The cost-effectiveness of a fuel tax was calculated for different tax regimes and found to fall in between. It suggested that both categories of instruments should be implemented to achieve the objective with least cost to society. 120 pp. Englisch.

Due to the influence of advertising is it possible that current generations perceive their 'culture' in a simulated manner Could society be living in an 'ideal' culture, created by the media 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Cultural intelligence is a recently introduced concept which explains the ability of a person to successfully adapt to a new cultural environment. With the increasing number of employees nowadays working in international settings it becomes extremely important to have a way to measure if a person is able to work effectively in an international team. However, so far,there is very limited empirical evidence on this topic. In the present paper I will describe an empirical study I did with international students and managers in order to find if cultural intelligence predicts work performance. The participants were first asked to fill in a questionnaire measuring their cultural intelligence and after that they were asked to solve a business task. Then I asked their colleagues to evaluate their performance on the business project. The results showed that cultural intelligence predicts performance on global working assignment. This means that people who are more culturally intelligent perform better than people who are less culturally intelligent on an international business task. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In recent decades, tourism industry has been increasingly recognized as having the economic potential to contribute to reduction of poverty in developing countries. Its geographical expansion as well as the fact that it is labour intensive in nature, account for this potentiality. The industry can spread employment opportunities especially in rural areas in post-colonial Africa. However, while policy makers, academics, economists, media pundits and development partners are overly focused on the idea of poverty to the detriment of not only other wealth creation initiatives but also the destruction of indigenous cultural values. This book provides critical analysis of the pros and cons of commoditization of culture in rural Tanzania like many other post-colonial African societies. The dominant paradigm of free market economy today succumbs to various economic challenges globally. The book provides economic significances of cultural tourism but at the same time the author reminds the readers not to turn a blind eye to the effects of such commoditization. Its fabrication may lead to the destruction of the social fabric of the society. 92 pp. Englisch.

The main objective of the financial sector reforms in the early 1990s was to create an efficient, competitive and stable financial sector that could contribute in a greater measure to stimulate growth. The Indian financial sector has essentially been bank-based, and the funding of a substantial part of economic activity has depended on the efficient functioning of the banking system. Consequently, a good deal of reform activity in the 1990s was directed towards the banking sector.Given the macroeconomic significance of banks, it is imperative to address the performance of banks. The financial health of the banks can be affected by NPA accumulation. A way out could be a proper monitoring and regulatory framework to assess the performance of banks. 92 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Dove aims at reaching their target women through an innovative approach by using 'real' women with 'real' shapes and sizes in advertising to represent their company. The Body Milk advertisement depicts women with all shapes and sizes from different generations, ethnicity and stages in life, which illustrate the main elements of Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty. Within the advertisement Dove focuses on women assumed identical to parts of the target audience, which indicates a light selling approach as no product information is provided and the personal aspects of the brand is therefore emphasised. An analysis of the target audience of the advertisement reveals that Dove has chosen to focus on a broad segment, thereby going against main principles of segmentation concepts. An assessment of the advertisement reveals that Dove goes against the norms within their industry by disagreeing with the ideals presented by the media, hence depicting 'real' women. This approach can be affected by the relationship the target women hold towards the media. However, is this an approach that works 72 pp. Englisch.
