...FACTORS INFLUENCING PENSION MANAGERS’ INVESTMENT DECISION A CASE STUDY OF ZANZIBAR SOCIAL SECURITY FUND (Z.S.S.F) By: ABDULAZIZ M. RAMIA REG. NO: ZU/MBA/0001/12 FACULTY OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROPOSED SUPERVISOR: DR. MASOUD A Concept Paper Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Master of Business Administration in Finance (MBA- Finance) of Zanzibar University 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY 1.1 Introduction In most economies value is presently obtained through a market process where supply meets demand. Here is where finance and financial markets come into play. They provide the tools to optimize the allocation of resources through time and space and to manage risk. Finance is by nature quantitative like economics but it is subject to a large level of risk. It is the measurement of risk and the implementation of decision-making processes based on risk that makes finance a quantitative science and not simply accounting. Pension is a benefit promised to an employee by an employer during employment and is payable on leaving or retiring from the employer’s service. In the developed countries, pension plans are established and managed through creation of trust. In many cases, the fund is invested by the employer and pension is payable from the recurrent revenue of the employer. In general the main purpose of pension is to provide people with an income when they are no longer earning a regular income from employment...

...To some extent, government investment is the most important factor in the revival of British industry as it simulates growth with the economy. Government intervention is required to ensure the UK has the infrastructure, skills and access to investment to allow manufacturing to thrive. Financially attractive environments provide incentives to locate manufacturing industries in the UK. Nissan has been provided a £9.3m grant for the Nissan note to be built in the UK, production would have been in India if not for this investment, jobs would have left the uk resulting in an increase in unemployment, Nissan currently provides 6000 jobs in the UK. The regional growth fund help to meet the educational policies set by the government. More teachers and young people will go behind the scenes, this gives people a first-hand view of modern manufacturing and the exciting careers that are available to inspire the next generation to go into engineering and manufacturing. This will assist with the skills shortage that the uk is currently facing. Airbus, the world’s leading aircraft company, received £1.4m in funding from the fund to help provide training to develop a £190m investment in the production of new low carbon diesel engines at its Dagenham, £8m of the investment coming from the Regional Growth fund, this investment will create 300 jobs in that area, further reducing unemployment and through the training scheme people will gain the necessary skills that they need to revive the British...

One implication of this assumption is that, in a world without taxes, firms are indifferent to funding their investment programs from internal or external funds. However, there is a rapidly growing body of literature examining the possible existence of imperfections in capital markets and their effects on firms' financial and real decisions. In this paper we provide some econometric evidence on the impact of financial factors like cash flow, debt, and stock measures of liquidity on the investment decisions of U.K. firms. These variables are introduced via an extension of the Q model of investment, which explicitly includes agency costs. We discuss whether the significance of cash...

Customer loyalty 4. Perceived popularity and real visibility 5. Point-of-sale merchandise uptake 6. Supplier bargaining power 7. New product success 8. More product line extensions 9. Significant competitive advantage 10. Point-of-sale merchandise uptake 11. Easier market development 12. Stable cash flow and easier planning 3. Looking at the two lists, do you think that there is a relationship between the two? That is, does a strength/performance in one list contribute to a better result for a similar factor in the other list? (Example, a strong brand can be built by social media, yet strong brands will generally have a greater social media presence and uptake.) Yes, I imagine that there is a relationship between the two records. According to my perspective I surmise that is does quality in one rundown add to a superior result for a comparable...

After a huge success LV started to make shoes, watches, jewelry, accessories, sunglasses and books. (2nd slide) Political factors The global luxury goods market can be separated into America, Europe, Japan, Asia-Pacific, and rest of countries by region. Overall, the major luxury goods consumption countries have relatively stable political environment in recent years. However, in southern Europe, the governments’ financial turmoil and austerity measures indicated an underlying weakening demand of luxury goods for local people. But the gap was filled by travelers from other countries. The import duty policy in different countries is another factor should be considered in the industry. The high import duty will be part reason of high price differences between different countries. Consequently, the grey market can be formed in the countries which have high price differences.

...consumer wealth, and people’s propensity to consume but ignores “the costs and risks of doing business in the market.” These costs are grouped into a category classified as “distance” which itself is sub-divided into four dimensions: cultural distance, administrative distance, geographic distance, and economic distance [CAGE]. Ghemawat proceeds to list factors that influence distance and industries that are affected by the specific dimension. These results are framed in an artificially created schematic: the CAGE Distance Framework. Important attributes contributing towards cultural distance include different languages, different ethnicities, different religions, and different social norms. Important attributes contributing towards administrative distance include absence of colonial ties, absence of shared monetary or political association, political hostility, government policies, and institutional weakness. Factors toward geographic distance include physical remoteness, lack of a common border, lack of sea or river access, size of country, weak transportation or communication links, and differences in climate. Factors towards economic distance include...

...Cost of Short-Term Financing 1) Commercial Paper The EPG Mfg. Co. uses commercial paper regularly to support its needs for short-term financing. The firm plans to sell $100 million in 270-day maturity paper on which it expects to have to pay discounted interest at a rate of 12 percent per annum. In addition, EPG expects to incur a cost of approximately $100,000 in dealer placement fees and other expenses of issuing the paper. The effective cost of credit to EPG can be calculated as follows: APR = [($9,000,000 + $100,000)/($100,000,000 - $100,000 - $9,000,000)] * [1/(270/360)] = 13.35% 2) Accounts Receivable Loans The AB Co. sells electrical supplies to building contractors on terms of net 60. The firm’s average monthly sales are $100,000; thus given the firm’s 2 month credit terms, its average receivables balance is $200,000. The firm pledges all its receivables to a local bank, which in turn advances up to 70% of the face value of the receivables at 3% over prime and with a 1% processing charge on all receivables pledged. AB follows a practice of borrowing the maximum amount possible, and the current prime rate is 10%. The APR of using this source of financing for a full year is computed as follows: APR = [($18,200 + $12,000)/$140,000]*[1/(360/360)] = 21.57% 3) Factoring Accounts Receivable $100,000 receivable is factored, carrying 60-day credit terms, a 2% factors’s fee, a 6% reserve and interest at 1% per month on advances...

...needs are needed at the same time as well as conflicting needs. Frederick Herzberg developed a theory on motivation during the midst of the 20th century which is most commonly known as the "dual factor theory". This is generally used when investigating motivation in organisations. His study was based on a survey of a study of 203 people across the 2 professional groups of engineers and accountants at Pittsburgh University, where they were asked to recall times over the previous year when they felt "exceptionally good" and "exceptionally bad" and their explanation for each case. From this study he identified two distinct list of factors that altered their motivation. These lists were a set of factors which cause satisfaction and dissatisfaction with both lists being mutually exclusive. The factors of satisfiers or Motivators, which are understood to yield a real sense of motivation in employees, are ordered in a list increasing in frequency beginning with a sense of personal achievement and growth, feelings of responsibility, intrinsically interesting work, feelings of recognition because the work is important and ending with a sense of achievement. These factors are all intrinsic to the individual and to do with job content. The opposite factors are known as dissatisfiers or hygiene factors. These will not motivate people in an organisation but are necessary within the...

...ourselves in textbooks and piles of notes is what most of us resorts to do. However, an imperative questions should be asked ; does strenuous and long hours of studying truly guarantees the distinctions that we need and ultimately success in our life? Or otherwise, there are many other factors that contribute in determining the academic success as a student? First and foremost, it is an undeniable fact that one needs to study and do work conscientiously to improve on one's results. However, getting distinctions can not simply be achieved through long hours of staring at diagrams or regurgitating lines from textbooks. One needs to fully contemplate the subject in hand before one is able to answer questions regarding the matter. As a high-school student, the challenge that emerges would be to understand abundant materials within a short period of time before the examination. Therefore, the requisite skill is to be able to select important points and elaborate on it. Making mind maps and doing research from external sources may prove to be helpful in helping one to have profound understanding of the subject. Thus, innovative ways of studying is a factor that contribute to academic success. Another factor which is often dismissed as unimportant would be parental support. Although in today's generation, high-school students no longer depends on their parents to ask for academic guidance, parents must still play an active role in doing whatever means necessary to provide moral as well...
