Development and the African Diaspora: Place and the Politics of Home

Development and the African Diaspora: Place and the Politics of HomePublisher: Zed Books | ISBN: 1842779001 | edition 2008 | PDF | 272 pages | 1,45 mbThis innovative book examines the relationship between African "civil society" and "home association" networks in the diaspora. Remittances home via these networks outweigh official development assistance.Looking in particular at Cameroon and Tanzania, the authors argue that building "civil society" in Africa must be understood in tandem with the political economy of migration and wider debates concerning ethnicity and belonging. They demonstrate both that diasporic development is distinct from mainstream development, and that it is an uneven historical process in which some '"homes" are better placed to take advantage of global connections than others. In doing so, the book engages critically with the current enthusiasm among policy-makers for treating the African diaspora as an untapped resource for combating poverty.To start click HERE:mirrormirror!!!

Pop Finance: Investment Clubs and the New Investor Populism

Pop Finance: Investment Clubs and the New Investor Populism By Brooke HarringtonPublisher: Princeton University Press 2008-03-17 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0691128324 | PDF | 1.6 MBDuring the 1990s, the United States underwent a dramatic transformation: investing in stocks, once the province of a privileged elite, became a mass activity involving more than half of Americans. Pop Finance follows the trajectory of this new market populism via the rise of investment clubs, through which millions of people across the socioeconomic spectrum became investors for the first time. As sociologist Brooke Harrington shows, these new investors pour billions of dollars annually into the U.S. stock market and hold significant positions in some of the nation's largest firms. Drawing upon Harrington's long-term observation of investment clubs, along with in-depth interviews and extensive survey data, Pop Finance is the first book to examine the origins and impact of this mass engagement in investing.One of Harrington's most intriguing findings is that gender-based differences in investing can create a "diversity premium"--groups of men and women together are more profitable than single-sex groups. In examining the sources of this effect, she delves into the interpersonal dynamics that distinguish effective decision-making groups from their dysfunctional counterparts.In addition, Harrington shows that most Americans approach investing not only to make a profit but also to make a statement. In effect, portfolios have become like consumer products, serving both utilitarian and social ends. This ties into the growth of socially responsible investing and shareholder activism--matters relevant not only to social scientists but also to corporate leaders, policymakers, and the millions of Americans planning for retirement.

Business Legislation

Business Legislation By C. RamagopalaPublisher: New Age Publications (Academic) 2008-12-01 | 200 Pages | ISBN: 8122422322 | PDF | 1.5 MBTeaching law to management students, rather than students of law, is a challenge. This would, indeed, be a bigger challenge when the students do not have any rudimentary knowledge about law.Now, majority of students who join MBA are from non-commerce background so they would not have had any opportunity to study even the fundamentals of law. The problem is where to start. I have the answer. The UGC syllabus of “Business Legislation” has been taken as the basis for writing this book. The compelling force behind me to take up this task is my students. They have approached me to make a tailor-made book available to them to meet the needs of UGC syllabus as no book is available to cater their total needs, all at one place. This book crisply covers the syllabus and even the chapters are dealt in the same order of the UGC syllabus of MBA. In this process, many university students’ requirements are covered, to a large extent, as a greater number of institutions have, involuntarily, chosen same topics in their syllabus too.The second aspect is the treatment of explanation. Many consider law is complicated and nothing is said, directly. I intend to give a different treatment for the subject. I have chosen the straight way to explain in an easy and direct method. Language is not to stand as a barrier as many Hindi medium students have been joining MBA, of late. They want the subject to be dealt in an easy way to understand, with practical and professional approach, but not in a legal way. This book is meant for managers of tomorrow. They require understanding of law for managing the business and not to practise as lawyers. Legal concepts are explained in a layman’s language.The best compliment I have enjoyed on my earlier book “Export-Import Procedures, Documentation and Logistics” is from Hindi medium students, pursuing MBA. They have complimented “No difficult words are in the book, which we have not understood”. I thank them for making the book to go for reprint, within six months of its first appearance. This book has been accepted as a recommended reading book at IIM, Indore too.During my interaction and long observation, majority of students and, in particular, working executives, busy with their employment start preparing, a couple of weeks before the commencement of examinations. To facilitate them for quick and easy understanding, Descriptive Questions provide the necessary clues (reference to paragraphs, broadly) for finding answers, quickly, and also serving as a ready suggested answer book.I have my family members Sandhya-wife, Radhi, Kalyan, Dheera and Kish, and my lovely little American grandsons –Theer and Tarkh– not preventing me to write, who have extended their support in one way or other to steer the book to a happy ending.CA.

Corporate Restructuring Through Disinvestment

Corporate Restructuring Through Disinvestment (An Indian Perspective)by Harjit SinghPublisher: New Age International 2007 | EAN: 9788122421620 | 161 Pages | PDF | 1.1 MBBusiness combinations, corporate restructuring, financial reengineering, corporate reorganizations are the terms used for restructuring the corporate sector. In India, corporate restructuring by way of disinvestment of public sector enterprises has become a fashionable concept in recent years. It started from the middle of seventies with the disappointment of public sector, but the voices of protest were very weak and periodic. But the continuous failure of public sector to fulfill the role assigned to it intensified the voices of protest. The opening of certain sectors earlier reserved for the public sector was undertaken in the beginning of eighties but the government was to some extent hesitant to make a clear statement. Then ultimately in the year 1991, under the stewardship of Dr. Manmohan Singh, then finance minister, the process of corporate restructuring through disinvestment was actually started and got momentum.The game is old but the rules are new and still developing. This book is an attempt to cover this much talked but less understood issue in the Indian perspective and is essential reading for anyone who wants to know the nuts and bolts of corporate restructuring through disinvestment, its present status and is interested in knowing how it is gaining worldwide acceptance. In addition, the book proposes a theoretical framework for understanding how restructuring has become a potent tool for strategy decision-making for an organization. This book has focused on the vital areas like why government took decision to disinvest public sector which once was expected to be the engine of growth, public sector in India, disinvestment drive in India, its past, present and future.About the Author(s):Dr. Harjit Singh , MFC (Gold Medalist), MBA (Dual), M.Phil.

Modern commercial banking, 2nd Edition

Modern commercial banking, 2nd Edition by: H.R. Machiraju

Publisher: New Age International2008 | EAN: 9788122420913 | 364 Pages | PDF | 1.1 MB

The basic function of a commercial bank is risk management. Banks have to adopt a risk management approach to maximise shareholder value/net value and to conform to the RBI guidelines (1999). Further the adoption of ALM and diversification of activities to earn fee income has resulted in the assumption of risks which had to be hedged by derivatives. Since major banks are foreign exchange dealers, exchange risk and interest risk have to be covered. Finally derivatives themselves carry a lot of risk which has become a major concern of regulators.

The book analyses and presents the concepts in banking in relation to the consolidated balance sheet of scheduled commercial banks in India. Risks have been identified and the tools available to hedge them are presented. All chapters are revised and enlarged to take into account the developments since the last edition.

Banking systems in vogue.

Functions of a commercial bank.

Functions of bank capital.

Retail banking.
