...Prior to 1988 there was virtually no private sector in Russia or throughout the former Soviet Union. To take part in all but the most basic private sector activities was illegal. All productive assets, including land, industrial enterprises, homes and farms were in theory owned by “the people” (Leonard, Watson, 2013). This statement essentially sums up how privatized firms would be met if de-privatization becomes law. Their investment firms would become illegal and they would have to explore other ways to work within the law or dissolve. If we explore free markets they would be Pareto efficient and would favor the young. However, it would hurt the politically charged groups from the old regime like government officials. (Brickley, Smith, Zimmerman, 2009). Mass privatization was an excellent solution to the problem that state ownership was omnipresent and domestic wealth holders were insufficient to buy the assets. The mass privatization strategy also facilitated an extremely speedy ownership change in most transition economies, as few countries had contained a private sector of any significance in 1990 (Leonard, Watson, 2013). This information makes de-privatization favorable in my opinion. While privatization seems excellent, it stifles future growth and limits opportunities for all. The process to transition should be gradual and well thought out. Privatized companies run a large risk of losing their business if a violation is made. Politicians and Soviet era managers...

Asimismo, se resalta los problemas socio-ambientales que se originan dado que se quiere formalizar esta actividad por medio de empresas mineras, pero debido al posicionamiento de las empresas informales que dan trabajo remunerado a los pobladores de las zonas rurales que no son atendidas por el Estado, estas prefieren apoyar a estas firmas que la dan una manera de subsistencia más tangible que la ofrecida por el sector formal. Finalmente, podemos mencionar que se requiere de políticas de Estado que contribuyan al desarrollo de las regiones por medio de actividades productivas...

...PUBLIC SECTOR ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE 1.0. Introduction: One of the main distinguishing factors between public and private sector organisations lies in their objectives and sometimes funding structure. While public sector bodies have a more social objective and focus more on the allocation or distribution of public goods and services within the country, private sector bodies have the main objective of increasing the wealth of their shareholders (IFAC, 2011). However, both private and public sector bodies face similar operational and business challenges brought on by the economic environment and climate. A crucial question therefore is how to account for the activities of private sector bodies and public sector bodies in a way that reflects the operational structure of the organisation and yet their varying objectives (Barton, 2000). There exist two main schools of thought on the nature of accounting in the public sector, each of which is formulated by the view of the role of the public sector within the economy (Evans, 1995). The traditional method of accounting within public sector organisations has often advocated the use of the cash basis of accounting, with larger emphasis rather placed on compliance with the rules and regulations governing the sector (Wynne, 2003). However, weaknesses in public sector management have brought to the fore the importance of efficiency and hence the adoption of the accrual method of accounting within the public sector. According to...

...Tamnun E Mursalin "Digital Bangladesh" is currently the most commonly used words in politics, media, among the intellectuals and the civil societies. Since our Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in her party's election manifesto pledged to develop a digital Bangladesh by 2021, it has given a great hope to the citizens of Bangladesh. It turned out to be an opportunity for our prime minister to be in the United States during the time of election, and experiencing the Obama election campaign. Her learning has helped Awami League wining the election in Bangladesh in 2008 with Obama-like campaign strategy-the call for 'change', which has been responded widely by the Bangladeshi citizens. However, the focus here is Digital Bangladesh, widely accepted by Bangladeshi people from all walks of life. Not too many people understood the concept of digital Bangladesh but they believed it, as something related to information technology. It has been widely accepted by a good number of young voters, believing that the concept of Digital Bangladesh will solve most of our national crisis involving corruption, unemployment, illiteracy, poverty and price-hike. Even though without knowing Bangladesh has already gone through a bit of experience on digitization through few national level of ICT projects, such as, Chittagong Customs Automation System, selection process of teletalk mobile user through internet, project initiated by the pervious government on machine-readable digital passport system and finally...

...Small sector coopetitive potential and big corporate coopetitive potential contribute to the conditions generating unstable relations with cooperation elements dominating (square 4). Small sector coopetitive potential indicates a minor significance of coopetitive relations for the corporate growth strategies. Companies are not directly threatened by the situation in the sector and may admit that the self-reliant management is beneficial to them. That is why their coopetition inclination is not big. While a large compatibility of competitors may appear to be an insufficient condition to develop competitive cooperation. The presented coopetition matrix and structure of its variables provide us with a basis for research into coopetitive relation characteristics in the sector and the corporate context. The matrix shows the essence of complexity of coopetition as well as its dynamic character. The model may become an important instrument to examine coopetitive relations serving a thorough analysis of the factors influencing the creation and development of corporate competitive cooperation. At the same time, it may support the process of planning and control of corporate coopetition effects. The original coopetition model is dynamic. It enables a coopetitive relations analysis on account of time changes in sector coopetitive potential and coopetitive potential of the involved parties. The research on corporate coopetition enables its evaluation from the dynamic perspective, the indication...

...The concept of pay performance is attractive to the public sector because its basis is rooted in the perception that superior performance should be acknowledged and rewarded. Its implementation is varied, consisting of individuals, work groups, or departments being evaluated and having financial incentives distributed as base pay increases, one-time bonuses, or a combination. “Merit pay” is a term typically associated with pay for performance where individual performance ratings are directly correlated to annual salary increases in hopes that the incentive with increase employee effort and productivity. However, the critical component that directly affects success with this pay structure is employee perception on how equitable and attainable the expectations are within the incentive plan. Employees form beliefs and take actions based on how satisfied they are with their jobs as well as an opinion about state agencies as places to work and pursue careers. If these employees feel that the performance appraisal systems are not fair, then they will not be motivated by the premise of linking their pay to incentives. Moreover, these same employees will eventually become disgruntle and work at less productive rates because they feel as though “politics” or favoritism determines the outcome of their evaluations not personal achievement. Many employees were attracted to public sector jobs because of they were perceived to be secure with good benefits. Now, public agencies are moving...

...(540MW), Talwandi Sabo(1980 MW), Rajpura (1400 MW)and with NTPC (2640 MW with PSPCL share of 1320 MW). So the total installed capacity in the state by the end of 2014-15 is expected to be 9118 MW. In addition, has signed MOUs with private companies for setting up thermal plants in the state of more than 5000 MW capacity. In addition, presently P has allocation of 1840 MW from central sector plants which is expected to cross 470 MW in the next 5 years. As there is no difference between the powers contracted on long term basis with plants set up outside the state either by central sector or private sector companies and the PPAs signed for procurement of power with private companies setting up plants in the state so mission appears to have been secured well before 2015 without investing even a penny in any project. The question is what will be doing in the next 5 years whereas generation is concerned? In the past, the management of repeatedly argued in favour of setting up plants under state sector and has mentioned it many a times that "setting up of thermal plants in the state sector is in the interest of the state" but surprisingly this commitment has not been explicitly depicted in the draft vision statement which is not only shocking but depressing for the engineers. We would like to know the vision of the company to expand its generation business by setting up new plants with own resources and also up-gradation of the capacities of the existing plants. We will like...

...PUBLIC SECTOR ACCOUNTING Assignment 5 ------------------------------------------------- Melina Subastian / 296511 Number 3: Based on five public sector accounting techniques, which one do you prefer as the best to be applied? Explain your answer! First of all, I think it is necessary to observe the five techniques that can be applied in public sector accounting in order to decide which one is the best to be applied. 1. Budget Accounting. This technique presents the budgeted amount and the actual amount recorded in pairs (double entry). 2. Commitment Accounting. This accounting technique recognizes transactions and records them at the time the order was issued. This can be used in conjunction with cash accounting and accrual accounting. 3. Fund Accounting. The technique is performed with the concept of fund. It treats a working unit as an accounting entity and budget entity which stands alone. 4. Cash Accounting. In this technique, revenues are recorded when cash is received, and expenses are recorded when cash is removed. 5. Accrual Accounting. This technique differentiates between cash revenues and rights to earn cash, and cash expenditures and obligations to pay cash. In my opinion, accrual accounting technique is the best technique to use for public sector organizations. In this technique, revenues and expenses are recognized when earned or incurred, regardless of whether cash is received or spent. The use of the accrual basis in the public sector is one...

Please note that the content of this Lecture Guide is listed in its recommended teaching order, rather than in numerical order. Indicative Content: 1.1.1 Explain the business organisation as a transformation process: • Business organisations undergo a transformation process from inputs into outputs, using physical inputs plus finance and skills to produce both goods and services. • Use examples from both manufacturing and service sector organisations to illustrate the process. 1.1.2 Describe the different ways in which a business may structure its activities: • Organisational structures can be based on the functions of the organisation, its product ranges, or geographical regions. Alternatively some less hierarchical organisations may use a matrix structure, especially if the firm is project based. 1.2.1 Discuss the complexity, volatility and uniqueness of an organisation's environment: • The organisation in its environment has to face a wide range of internal and external influences which affect business activity. • The immediate or operational environment interacts with suppliers, competitors, the labour market and financial institutions. • The general or contextual environment consists of economic, political, legal, and social factors. Each functional area of the organisation may be affected. • Whilst organisations have some...
