Book Synopsis Asymmetric Information, Corporate Finance, and Investment by : R. Glenn Hubbard
Download or read book Asymmetric Information, Corporate Finance, and Investment written by R. Glenn Hubbard and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, specialists from traditionally separate areas in economics and finance investigate issues at the conjunction of their fields. They argue that financial decisions of the firm can affect real economic activity—and this is true for enough firms and consumers to have significant aggregate economic effects. They demonstrate that important differences—asymmetries—in access to information between "borrowers" and "lenders" ("insiders" and "outsiders") in financial transactions affect investment decisions of firms and the organization of financial markets. The original research emphasizes the role of information problems in explaining empirically important links between internal finance and investment, as well as their role in accounting for observed variations in mechanisms for corporate control.
Book Synopsis Information and Investment by : G. B. Richardson
Download or read book Information and Investment written by G. B. Richardson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information and Investment is a classic account of how market economies actually work. Rather than assuming 'perfect knowledge', it is concerned to identify the market structures and arrangements that make it possible for businessmen to have enough information to take investment decisions uponwhich the allocation of resources depends. It rejects the perfect competition model of economic interdependence and shows that some so-called 'market imperfections' are essential for the operation of the system. When the book was originally published, in 1960, Richardson's analysis of how marketstructures affect the availability of necessary information to those working within them represented a new development in economics. It provided a foundation for subsequent work and an intellectual basis for government competition policy. The reissue contains two of Richardson's later papers on related issues and a foreword by David J. Teece. It continues to be relevant to economic theorists concerned with the transition from collectivism to market systems in Eastern Europe and the consequent need to devise new institutions for theeffective allocation of resources.

Book Synopsis Information Technology and the Productivity Paradox by : Henry C. Lucas Jr.
Download or read book Information Technology and the Productivity Paradox written by Henry C. Lucas Jr. and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-04-29 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From networks to databases, email to voicemail, the amount of capital being invested in information technology each year is staggering. By 1996, U.S. firms were spending more than $500 billion annually on software, networks and staff. The recently merged Bank of America and NationsBank have an initial IT budget of 4 billion dollars. As firms like this push rapidly into the business world of the 21st century, the question has remained: how do firms measure returns from these substantial investments in information technology? Henry C. Lucas, effectively answers this question by providing a creative and reliable framework for measuring the competitive advantages and profits gained through investments in state-of-the-art information systems. There is value in information technology, and it is possible to show returns, Lucas argues--unfortunately this value just doesn't always show up clearly on the bottom line of a ledger. In five expertly presented sections, he spells out exactly what businesses can expect from their information technology investments--some investments create a measurable value, some do not, but all are important nonetheless. Through a precise mix of frameworks and models, such as an Investment Opportunities Matrix, and punctuated with real examples from successful firms, this is the first book to allow executives to see exactly how their information technology investment can be expected to return value, thereby maximizing their advantages in an age of global competitiveness. Indeed, firms who manage their information systems most efficiently are best suited to succeed in a rapidly evolving marketplace. With so much at stake, Information Technology is certain to be the essential guide for firms determined to compete and flourish in the highly competitive economy of the next century.
Book Synopsis Investing in Information by : Andy Bytheway
Download or read book Investing in Information written by Andy Bytheway and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-28 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers together, in a new way, established and contemporary thinking about how to get the best out of information technology and information systems investments. Working managers who are beset by the complexities of information management in the age of Big Data and the Social Web, and students who are trying to make sense of information management in a chaotic world that is more and more driven by the Internet, will all benefit from this new treatment of a long-standing and problematic domain. Importantly, the book reveals and clarifies the dependencies that exist between the inner world of information technology and the outer world of people and organisations at work. The book differs from other books in its reflective approach. It avoids lengthy, descriptive, and prescriptive dogma. Rather, it provides tools for thinking about information management and it identifies strategic and tactical options at six levels: from the simple consideration of information technology and information systems, right through to issues of organisational performance and business strategy. At the heart of the matter are two critical and tightly connected issues: the ways that we conceive and manage an organisation’s processes, and the ways that we conceive and manage the information that an organisation needs to sustain those processes. The six-level framework that achieves this clarity is the “Information Management Body of Knowledge” (familiarly known as the “IMBOK”). This easy-to-understand and easy-to-remember framework has been found to be extremely useful in business, in government, in civil society and in education. Throughout the book, selected research papers are identified and summarised. There are also summary chapters from three different operational perspectives: performance and competency assessment using the IMBOK, undertaking research into related issues, and a review of parallel expert thinking. This book stands as a reference point and resource for all those who need to straddle the disparate worlds of “information technology” and “business”. It provides firm pedagogical foundations for courses dealing with business management in the information age, and it provides a sound reference framework for researchers who need to position research projects related to information technology and information systems in a wider context. For busy managers, who simply wish to identify, understand and successfully manage information technology-related opportunities, it provides an ideal arrangement of ideas and tools that will help them.

Book Synopsis Networks of International Trade and Investment by : Sara Gorgoni
Download or read book Networks of International Trade and Investment written by Sara Gorgoni and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2018-03-30 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, the international economy has witnessed fundamental changes in the way manufacturing is organised: products are no longer manufactured in their entirety in a single location. Instead, the production process is often split across a number of stages located in countries that are frequently far apart from each other. By spreading out their manufacturing and supply chain activities globally through international investment and intra-firm trade, Multinational enterprises (MNEs) play a focal role in this reorganisation of production. Our ability to understand the global economy, therefore, requires an understanding of the interdependencies between the entities involved in such fragmented production. Traditional methods and statistical approaches are insufficient to address this challenge. Instead, an approach is required that allows us to account for these interdependencies. The most promising approach so far is network analysis. ‘Networks of International Trade and Investment’ makes a case for the use of network analysis alongside existing techniques in order to investigate pressing issues in international business and economics. The authors put forward a range of well-informed studies that examine compelling topics such as the role of emerging economies in global trade and the evolution of world trade patterns. They look at how network analysis, as both an approach and a methodology, can explain international business and economics phenomena, in particular, in relation to international trade and investment. Providing a comprehensive but accessible explanation of the applications of network analysis and some of the most recent methodological advances in its field, this edited volume is an important contribution to research in international trade and investment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want to have more peace of mind—no matter how world events are impacting the market—Investing Redefined has the advice you need to hear. Were you one of millions of Americans in 2008 wondering what you could have done differently to manage risks to your investments? Since then, have you changed your investment strategy or are you still doing the same things you did before the meltdown? Are you prepared for the next major crisis? Randy Swan believes it’s not a question of if, but rather when, the market will suffer another dramatic fall—and approaching the market in the same old way is the path to financial suicide. You need to redefine your investing strategy to seek protection for your money. Swan breaks down the factors that influence market events— from world governments and global debt to technological wild cards—and explains why most individuals, including investment professionals, are not adequately prepared for the likely consequences of the next market crisis. This book offers investors a new way to play the game. Randy Swan shares the strategy that his company, Swan Global Investments, has developed to remain always invested and always hedged against the worst risks, while making the most of the opportunities a down market can offer. His advice is to learn and be prepared: He shows you how in this valuable book.

Download or read book Handbook on Sustainable Investments: Background Information and Practical Examples for Institutional Asset Owners written by Swiss Sustainable Finance and published by CFA Institute Research Foundation. This book was released on 2017-12-27 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fast growing share of investors have recently widened their scope of analysis to criteria regarded as extra-financial. They are driven by different motivations. Adoption of sustainable investment strategies can be driven, on the one hand by the sole motivation to hedge portfolios against knowable risks by expanding the conceptual framework to incorporate the latest best practice in risk management. Other investors focus rather on a long-term view and make an active bet on societal change. Recent empirical research has shown that considering sustainability factors within investment practices does not come at a cost (i.e. through a reduced opportunity set) but allows for competitive returns. Furthermore, the growing market and resulting competition in the wake of sustainable investing going mainstream has the welcome effect to compress fees for such products. Hence, staying informed about recent trends in sustainable investing is imperative no matter what the main motivation is.
