...Chapter 1: The problem and its background Introduction For a long time, India has viewed its sphere of influence as stretching far beyond the subcontinent itself but has had little ability to project this influence beyond its borders. It is only in the last few years that India has been able to become more influential both in the surrounding regions and the world at large. This was mainly anchored on its ‘look east policy’ initiated in the early 1990s that saw the country focus on the East Asia and Pacific regions as an economic framework for expanding ties and promoting economic growth. With the new expanded strategic vision – “Look East” policy 2, India has broadened the definition of its security interest in its strategic economic endeavors. It is generally seen that India’s partnership with ASEAN have had an impact on India’s economic, political, and security related involvement ‘in these larger, concentric coalitions around ASEAN…in East Asia and in the Asian Pacific’ (Gujral, 1996, p. 12). The look east policy has integrated a larger regionalization framework and strategy encompassing the Asia Pacific issues (Scott, 2007). WE ARE TECHNOLOGY THESIS EXPERTS! ORDER NOW! WWW.UKESSAYHUB.COM The Indians-ASEAN links do not only have economic frameworks but strategic underpinnings as well. As Scot (2007) has indicated, china has been a factor in all of the India’s initiatives albeit blurred in economic progressions. Some analysts have argued that the growing...

...BENEFIT / ADVANTAGES OF HAVING STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT A business without strategy is a business without direction. A strategy without a competitive advantage is a business without a precondition of success. Managing strategically is to make decisions and implement strategies that allow an organization to develop and maintain competitive advantage. Competitive advantage is a concept that motivates strategists to replicate the strategies that make most successful companies successful. The most significant benefits are: Discharges Board Responsibility The first reason that most organizations state for having a strategic management process is that it discharges the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Forces an Objective Assessment Strategic management provides a discipline that enables the board and senior management to actually take a step back from the day-to-day business to think about the future of the organization. Without this discipline, the organization can become solely consumed with working through the next issue or problem without consideration of the larger picture. Provides a Framework for Decision-Making Strategy provides a framework within which all staff can make day-to-day operational decisions and understand that those decisions are all moving the organization in a single direction. It is not possible for the board to know all the decisions the executive director will have to make, nor is it possible for the executive director to know all the decisions...

His journey metaphorically river marks a significant change in identity, the point at which you realize that what people need is not his scientific knowledge as a physician, but his desire for social change.

...ACCOUNTING FRAMEWORK History of Accounting That's Summa Story! From the oaves to Cafe Paoioli By Derry Cotter, FCA Accountants are generally recognised as making a valuable contribution to society, by providing the information that allows entrepreneurship to flourish, business to operate efficiently, stakeholders' interests to be protected, shares to be fairly priced, and taxation and audit requirements to be satisfied. Accounting, however, has not always enjoyed such an established position, and today there is often a tendency to take our profession's status for granted. It is interesting, therefore, to examine the factors that have brought accounting to the preeminent place that it occupies today. Our story begins in primitive times, when cave dwellers collected enough food to satisfy their daily requirements. Before long, the more enterprising among them would set aside some for future use. In effect that was surplus capital, and it represented the first step towards the accumulation of wealth. Soon, they 50 were exchanging their surplus for commodities owned by different cave dwellers. This exchange, which constituted a form of barter, was the first step in the development of a system of commerce.' Record keeping is thought to have begun around 4,000 BC in Babylonia and Assyria. Chatfield- describes the Babylonians as obsessive bookkeepers, with records being kept by scribes, who are regarded as the predecessor of today's accountants. Hundreds of scribes were...

...Accountancy is the production of financial records for organizations and shows readers in money terms the economic resources the company has under its control and represents it in terms of relevance and does this faithfully. Accounting is called “the language of business” because it acts as a vehicle for a business entity to report their financial information to groups of people outside of the company’s day to day activities. Some researchers believe the earliest instance of accounting was from a cave engraving in South Africa that was dated 76,000 years old. However the earliest proven accounting records have been dated back 7,000 years ago and were found in Mesopotamia. The people of the time relied on its primitive practices to record the growth of crops and herds. In Iran during the 4th and 3rd century, socioeconomic situations led to unequal distributions of wealth and so the leaders and priests appointed people to look after the financial matters. Godin Tepe, an archaeological site in western Iran, scripts only containing tables with figures were found. In Tepe Yahya, an archaeological site found in the Kerman Province in Iran, the scripts contained geographical representations as well. In both sites buildings containing large rooms for storage crops had tokens that were used for bookkeeping purposes on clay scripts which represented a cognitive leap for mankind. (Accountancy, n.d.) These early practices of record keeping were used mainly for the record keeper and...
