...Examine the concept of time value of money in relation to corporate managers. Propose two (2) methods in which time value of money can help corporate managers in general. The time valuation of money is the idea that money available now could be worth more than the same amount in the future, because that current money has the possibility of earning money in the future. Think if the expression, “It takes money to make money!” If you are guaranteed to have $100.00 now or $100.00 in 3 years, you would probably take the money now. However, the $100.00 you could have now can be utilized to make even more money in the future through investing. This concept is very important in the business world as corporations are always looking to increase investing opportunities that will prove profitable. Time valuation enables corporate managers to determine two major aspects of investments; How much to invest and the rate of return on that investment. A company needs to know how much they need for an initial investment and how much that investment will yield over a given period of time. This is also where compounded interest plays a major role, the more the interest is compounded the greater the yield. Examine the pros and cons of a sinking fund from the viewpoint of both a firm and its bondholders. Determine the fundamental manner in which this knowledge could be helpful to a financial manager. Provide a rationale for your response. Sinking funds are a method of repaying funds that were...

...even more difficult by the fact that personalized needs have altered in recent years. For instance, in many circumstances financial compensation is not considered as the main motivational factor of employees. Due to its innovative and youthful nature, the Information Technology (IT) industry has been considered to be at the forefront of dealing with organizational issues, such as how to motivate employees. Organizations that lie within this industry have adopted various innovative motivational practices. Examples of those include opportunities to work from home, used in parallel with traditional motivational practices, such as pay-for-performance. In general, not all industries have adopted innovative practices in a broader scale, despite the fact that numerous studies have proven their success. This can be due to issues such as general...

...Marie-Joëlle Browaeys & Roger Price Part One CULTURE AND MANAGEMENT Concept 1.1 Facets of culture Introduction to Part One Setting the scene This introductory chapter will give an outline of the research in the field of culture and management, which in turn serves as a framework for Part One. The concept of culture Many experts in their fields have wracked their brains to come up with what they consider to be their concept of ‘culture’. Those working in the field of cultural anthropology, alone, for example, have come up with a long list of definitions of the concept, based on their analysis of ethnological, social, psychological and linguistic data. The attempt made by Bodley (1994) to summarize these (Table I.1) gives an idea of all the facets of culture that need to be taken into account from an anthropological perspective. Although acknowledging the multiplicity of cultures, the authors of this book consider that the fundamental aspect of culture is that it is something all humans learn in one way or another. It is not something people inherit, but rather a code of attitudes, norms and values, a way of thinking that is learnt within a social environment. Family, the social environment, school, friends, work – all these help to form this code and determine how people see themselves and the world. The national culture and the particular region which people live in also help to shape a person’s cultural profile. Although culture is reflected in individual...

In India, the major example is Satyam which is one of the largest IT companies in India. All these events have made stake holders realize the urgency and importance of good corporate governance. Before investing money in any company people are quite concerned how companies are being managed. International organizations like IMF, WTO and World Bank are also insisting on transparency. All this has made Corporate Governance and transparency up the public agenda. Good Corporate Governance makes for good business sense. It increases confidence of shareholders in the company.
