...CAPITAL MARKET AND MANUFACTURING SECTOR FINANCING IN NIGERIA Ewa, Efa Okoi Department of Business Management University of Calabar, Nigeria +234-8037-796-936 efa_ewa@yahoo.com Abstract This paper discusses mainly the role of the capital market in financing the manufacturing sector in Nigeria. The discussion centered on the state of the Nigerian manufacturers, background, challenges and the imperatives of the capital market meeting the financial and investment challenges of the sector in the face of recent economic reforms and increasing competition posed by globalization. The study sought to determine the extent to which the Nigerian capital market contributes to the development of manufacturing industries. An attempt was made to highlight government intervention in funding the sector and the reality of the country’s manufacturing sector. The study revealed that the Nigerian manufacturing sector has been on the decline owing mainly to government reliance on the oil industry, the decaying infrastructural facilities in the country and non-access to investment fund by local manufacturers. The study concluded that the capital market, despite the problems and challenges it may faced, is a veritable tool in the growth and development drive of the country’s manufacturing sector. 1. Introduction The manufacturing sectors in any country of world rely on medium and long-term fund to carry out its productive activities. Equity capital alone is never adequate and external...

As a result, industrial sector in Malaysia has been rapidly grow over the past few dacades. Industrial sector can be define as a category of stocks that relate to producing goods used in construction and manufacturing. This sector includes companies involved with aerospace and defense, industrial machinery, tools, lumber production, construction, cement and metal fabrication. Performance in the industrial goods sector is largely driven by supply and demand for building construction residential, commercial and industrial as well as the demand for manufactured products. When the economy contracts and consumers save more and spend less, activity in this sector drops because companies will postpone expansion and produce fewer goods. The industrial sectors are drawn for each contain a mixture of international corporations, national companies, entrepreneurial smaller and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) and informal local businesses. Each part of a sector may have different impacts and dependence on economics activity. In many of the examples, the process of changing performance in industry sectors has followed a common sequence, though the detail varies considerably between sectors. For example, a realization by the leaders of major companies that their long-term business interests, survival as well as profitability, depend on understanding...

...US wage rate discourages FDI in insurance services. However, it also shows that FDI in manufacturing and insurance services complement each other. Thus, the foreign acquisition of US manufacturing assets may have contributed to the almost fourfold increase of FDI inflows in insurance services between 1987 and 1998. 1) Introduction Since the 1980s, many foreign firms have seen the US as a relatively attractive destination for direct investment. Foreign direct investment (FDI)1 allows investors to exert a significant influence on the host country. It creates a global marketplace in which firms from one country are operating another firm in a totally different environment. The US has undergone a major process of restructuring and deregulation that has encouraged this type of investment. In 1998, US FDI inflows accounted for 30% of worldwide FDI inflows (US $193 billion) with the second largest host country (the UK) a distant US$130 billion behind. The dot com bubble in the 90s spurred the nearly doubling of FDI levels in the US in 1998 as overseas firms were eager to tap into the expanding market. Most FDI growth was contributed by the large inflows of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As). For example, new investment by foreign direct investors through M&As in the US accounted for 90 per cent of total investment expenditures in foreign affiliates in 1998 (UNCTAD,1999). The insurance sector in the US is a prime example of an industry that has undergone many M&As as a...

The evidence show that during 1970s and 1980s there were of structural changes in economic activities where developing countries enters the global markets. In his preface, Giplin (2001; xi) point out that “…important step toward the creation of a truly global economy, since the mid-1980s the world has also witnessed the extraordinary growth of economic regionalism as a countermovement to economic globalization.” Similarly, Magdoff (1992; 50) state that “In fact, capital exports have helped shape the evolving global economy ever since the end of the Second World War”. Moreover, Glyn and Sutcliffe (1992; 79) point out that “…left the world economy leaderless in the 1970s and 1980s with increasingly open economies disciplined by market forces, but without a unique center of gravity.” This implies that global economies forces t To provide a well-structured discussion, this essay will begin by briefly introducing into how neo-liberalism in the mainstream of development thinking greatly achieve its victory of defence mechanism for a new wave of market orientation intervention, before discussing the structural changes. It will then provide explanation on how these structural changes resulted to globalisation. It will also examine the economic policy making implication of the state in general. It will then conclude by looking at the practical...

...Development in Malaysia Ali Salman Saleh∗ and Nelson Oly Ndubisi∗∗ Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in play a vital role in the Malaysian economy and are considered to be the backbone of industrial development in the country. However, few studies examined their development, challenges and future prospects. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to examine and analyse the role of SMEs in different sectors as well as their major contribution to the economy. The paper goes further to review the existing literature as well as the empirical studies in order to identify the major challenges (domestically and globally) that face this sector. The key messages from the studies examined in this paper are that Malaysian SMEs still face many domestic and global challenges in achieving economies of scale and competing internationally. Among the challenges are the low level of technological capabilities and limited skilled human capital resources, a low level of technology and ICT penetration, low levels of research and development (R&D), a substantial orientation towards domestic markets, a high level of international competition (for example, from China and India), a high level of bureaucracy in government agencies, and internal sourcing of funds. These characteristics suggest that government programs and incentives are either insufficient or not delivered effectively enough to overcome these problems. This paper attempts to identify the challenges as a positive first step towards ...

Ai Group National CEO Survey 2013 Business prospects in 2013 3 Key messages Business prospects in 2013: Australia's gap year? The Australian economy is going through significant change, with multiple, long-term forces restructuring our economy (such as global growth shifts and our own demographic changes), and ongoing challenges in our immediate outlook (such as the high Australian dollar and our relatively high business cost base). Recent drivers of growth are waning, with capital investment by the mining industry due to peak soon and federal and state government investment already past its post-GFC peak. But other potential growth drivers – most notably commercial and residential investment – are yet to show signs of a meaningful pickup. The global outlook also remains challenging, with only Asia generating any real growth in demand. As a result, in 2013, we are likely to see a gap in Australia’s economic momentum....

...Banking Internationalization drives and export orientation are prominent in the organizational strategies of a number of leading Indian firms and multinationals located in India. This is a significant indicator of the growing competitiveness of firms, industries, and the nation. This paper examines the sources of competitive advantage in a few selected sectors and firms and explores the internationalization possibilities and potential. International marketing strategies are complex and tend to vary widely across nations, industries, and firms. The elements that form the ingredients of international strategies are numerous and their importance is tightly interwoven to contexts. With a view to enrich the existing body of international marketing theory, the authors investigate the international marketing strategies adopted in 12 different business sectors in India in an attempt to explore and explain the similarities and differences found in this varied set of industries. The examples span the old economy industries such as the assembly and manufacturing enterprises that are both skill-and capital-intensive and also the new economy sectors that are information-intensive. This study is exploratory in nature and offers a classification scheme using case research methodology, grounded theory approach, and modeling techniques. The five-cluster classification (visual map) may prove to be useful in many strategic and tactical...
