In each business communication is crucial. Whether big or small the most effective instrument in organizations pertains to communication. Misunderstanding and challenges emerge with one-on-one interactions. Nevertheless, businesses influence effective communication strategies through persistent communication. However, a conductive environment on every level opens the door to communication whereby enabling the organizational members freely to express their ideas, criticisms, and feedback. When managers engage in conversation with employees “specially,” about their ideas, viewpoints on the emerging issues in customer and service production as well as the business environment develops an inclusive culture that demonstrate significant results. In the economy of business financial organizations explicate their vision for success in developing a long relationship.

...Academic Finance as a Career: The Good, The Bad, and the Not-So-Pretty Don Chance James C. Flores Endowed Chair of MBA Studies Louisiana State University Current version: January 4, 2011 (Original version: November 19, 2007) Most undergraduate and masters students in finance (MS and MBA) are preparing for a career in the world of finance. Oftentimes, jobs in finance have titles like financial analyst, credit analyst, and assistant treasurer, with the possibilities of someday becoming a vice president of finance, chief financial officer, treasurer or some other high-ranking position of responsibility. Finance is an important field to study because it deals with the management of money, a subject of central concern to every business, government agency, or nonprofit organization, and indeed every individual. Knowing how the financial world operates, the characteristics of securities, and how investment decisions should be made serves one well for many career paths. The study of finance also helps to prepare a person to manage his or her own money and increase the likelihood of accruing significant wealth over time through solid principles of investing. Few students consider another finance-related career option: becoming an academic in finance. Most students know little about this career choice. Their experiences with finance academics are typically limited to their familiarity with classes taken from their professors. But there is a lot more to it than this. And it is probably...

Lease is a contract between the owner and the user of assets for a certain time period during which the second party uses an asset in exchange of making periodic rental payments to the first party without purchasing it. Under lease financing, the lessee regularly pays the fixed lease rent over a period of time at the beginning or at the end of a month, 3 months, 6 months or a year. At the end of the lease contract the asset reverts to the real owner. Leasing is an important new method of financing. Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFIs) play a significant role in meeting the diverse lease financial need of various sectors of an...

...Challenges Facing the Finance Industry This paper will explore three problems facing the finance industry. Those problems include cybersecurity, compliance with regulation, and risk management. Three solutions will also be addressed later in this paper. 1 When one thinks about the finance industry, banks, credit agencies, insurance companies, and equity firms may come to mind. Over the years financial institutions have not been up to par. With the financial crisis that happened in 2008, the world is still recovering and paying high taxes for the amount of debt that it acquired. As a result of that crisis, the financial industry faces challenges that include cybersecurity, complying with regulation, and risk management. Although the industry faces these challenges, there are solutions that can make things operate smoother. One of the finance industries biggest challenge this year is cybersecurity. According to Hewitt, “The potential hacking of sensitive customer information is a top threat facing the financial industry in 2014.” Technology is vastly changing, and more people are beginning to use different softwares to handle the financial side of the business. With technology evolving, hackers are getting more experienced, and cyber-attacks are beginning to occur more frequently and more wide spread than they have been in the past. According to Rodriguez, “As the cost of technology decreases, the barriers to entry for cybercrime drop, making it easier...

...ABSTRACT Behavioural finance is part of finance that seeks to understand and explain the systematic financial market implications of psychological decision processes. It utilizes knowledge of cognitive psychology, social sciences and anthropology to explain irrational investor behavior that is not being captured by the traditional rational based models. INTRODUCTION Classical investment theories are based on the assumption that investors always act in a manner that maximizes their return. Yet a number of research show that investors are not always so rational. Human become puzzled when the uncertainty regarding investment decision engulfs them. People are not always rational and markets are not always efficient. Behavioral finance explains why individual do not always make the decisions they are expected to make and why markets do not reliably behave as they are expected to behave. Recent research shows that the average investors make decisions based on emotion, not logic; most investor’s buy high on speculations and sale low on panic mood. Psychological studies reveal that the pain of losing money from investment is really three times greater than the joy of earning money. Emotions such as fear and greed often play a pivotal role in investor’s decision; there are also other causes of irrational behavior. It is observed that stock price moves up and down on a daily basis without any change in fundamental of economies. It is also observed that people in the stock market...

...Accounting, School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University, Beijing, People’s Republic of China, and Analyst forecast accuracy 257 Wenjuan Xie Department of Accounting and Finance, Whittemore School of Business and Economics, University of New Hampshire, Durham, New Hampshire, USA Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of unidentifiable individual differences among financial analysts on the cross section of their earnings forecast accuracy. Design/methodology/approach – The paper employs the concept of analyst fixed effects to control for unidentifiable individual differences. Various psychological factors, such as decision style and personality traits, are documented to impact individuals’ decision making. However, analysts’ individual differences in such psychological factors are not captured by identifiable personal attributes employed in finance literature, such as years of experience. The methodology used addresses this issue and presents a more comprehensive study of analyst forecast accuracy. Findings – The paper documents that unidentifiable analyst-specific effects are significant, and that controlling for them improves model fitting and changes the explanatory power of some of the traditionally used independent variables in the literature. The paper confirms that the analyst’s firm-specific experience, the intensity of following that a firm receives, and the forecast horizon are all significantly and consistently related to forecast accuracy...
