The no-nonsense finance guide to building a profitable and enjoyable trades business

Inhaltsangabe:Introduction:The construction industry is one of the most booming industries in the world. In particular, in the United Arab Emirates this industry has experienced a constant growth over the course of the last few years. Driven by the UAE?s oil wealth, the country has witnessed an unmatched development and transformation. Oil revenues have lead to a driving construction boom and completely change the face of the state.The construction industry is still one of the engines of economic growth in the UAE. One of the highest concentrations of cranes in the world speaks volumes about the incredible pace of construction taking place, particularly in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but also in the other emirates. The fact that about 30,000, or 24 percent of the world's 125,000 construction cranes are currently operating in the region speaks for itself.The UAE?s construction projects stands out clearly from building projects in other parts of the world, due to the fact that there is no constraint on constructional imagination and there is no place in the world where construction moves as fast as in the UAE. With some of the most innovative mega projects  such as  ?Burj Khalifa? (the tallest building in the world), or ?The Palm Jumeirah?, ?The Palm Jebel Ali? and ?The Palm Deira? (the world?s largest man-made islands) with epithets of world?s biggest, best, and tallest the UAE construction industry remains unbeaten.The construction industry is a complex environment in which each organization is faced with numerous opportunities and threats. This academic paper provides an in-depth analysis of the fast growing construction industry in the UAE, while scanning the construction business for opportunities and threats. This thesis implements the PESTEL analysis that will be used to analyze the UAE?s construction industry. The main objective of this paper is to identify the factors in the macro-environment that might affect an organization. Having the PESTEL context, this output is used to execute a SWOT analysis. The PESTEL factors combined with external micro-environmental factors are classified as opportunities and threats in a SWOT analysis. Thus, the thesis also aims to identify the opportunities and threats in the construction business. This academic paper does not assess company?s internal strengths and weaknesses.Through strategic analysis of the UAE?s construction business this paper creates an adequate framework that helps participants of the […]

Opportunities and Threats in the Construction Business

A Strategic Analysis of the Construction Industry in the United Arab Emirates

Clearing houses, or CCPs, were among the very few organisations to emerge from the global financial crisis with their standing enhanced. In the chaotic aftermath of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, they successfully completed trades worth trillions of dollars in a multitude of financial instruments across listed and over-the-counter markets, and so helped avert financial Armageddon.  &lt;p&gt;That success transformed the business of clearing. Governments and regulators around the world gave CCPs and the clearing services they provide a front-line role in protecting the global economy from future excesses of finance. CCPs, which mitigate risk in financial markets, responded by greatly expanding their activities, notably in markets for over-the-counter derivatives, and often in fierce competition with one another.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In &lt;i&gt;The Risk Controllers&lt;/i&gt;, journalist and author Peter Norman describes how CCPs operate, how they handled the Lehman default, and the challenges they now face. Because central counterparty clearing is a complex business with a long history that continues to influence decisions and structures even in today’s fast changing world, &lt;i&gt;The Risk Controllers&lt;/i&gt; explores the development of CCPs and clearing from the earliest times to the present.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It draws on the experiences of the people who helped to shape the business of clearing today. It sets the development of CCPs and clearing in the broader context of changes in society, politics and regulation. The book examines turning points, such as the 1987 stock market crash, that set clearing on a new path and the impact of long running trends, including the exponential growth of computer power and the ebb and flow of globalisation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Written in non-technical language, &lt;i&gt;The Risk Controllers&lt;/i&gt; provides a unique and accessible guide to CCPs and clearing. It is essential reading for clearing professionals, legislators and regulators whose job it is to take this vitally important business into the future.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“&lt;i&gt;The recent crisis has, thankfully, renewed interest in the importance of central counterparties: how they can help preserve stability or, as Hong Kong showed in 1987, undermine stability if they are not super sound. Peter Norman’s book places the role of clearing houses in a historical context, and explains why the financial system’s plumbing matters so much. It should be read by anyone interested in building safer capital markets.&lt;/i&gt;”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Paul Tucker, Deputy Governor Financial Stability, Bank of England&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich VWL - Finanzwissenschaft, Note: 1,3, Hochschule Aschaffenburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist das Konzept der Carry Trades und Wechselkurse. Zu Beginn dieser Arbeit werden zunächst die Grundzüge zu Wechselkursen und zum internationalen Devisenmarkt erläutert. Die anschließende Darstellung der Zinsparitätentheorie und des Forward Premium Puzzles dient dem besseren Verständnis für die Analyse der Carry Trades in den folgenden Kapiteln. Neben dem eigentlichen Konzept der Carry Trades wird in dieser Arbeit besonders auf den Yen Carry Trade aufgrund seiner hohen praktischen RelevanzBezug genommen.Aus der Analyse der Entwicklungen verschiedener Carry Trade Währungspaare wird ersichtlich,dass sich eine Anlage in spekulative Devisenpositionen nur dann als gewinnbringend erweißt, wenn die ungedeckte Zinsparitätentheorie nicht eintritt. Weiterhin konnte ein Teil der massiven Wechselkursverwerfungen der letzten drei Jahre auf das Eingehen und Glattstellen von Carry Trades zurückgeführt werden. Allerdings kann dasgenaue Volumen, welches in Carry Trades investiert ist, nur anhand unterschiedlicherInformationenquellen näherungsweise geschätzt werden.

This book offers a radical new way of approaching the Old Testament. Sigmund Wagner-Tsukamoto argues that rational, institutional and constitutional economic lessons can be derived from the Old Testament, with applications to social conflict and resolution. The book suggests that this religious text also anticipated many modern economic advances.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A, ( Atlantic International University ), course: Project Leadership, language: English, abstract: Leadership is a crucial component of project management in any development sector. However, the construction sector in developing countries has features and processes that make leadership even more vital. Construction projects by governments demand huge financial and technical resources and the project teams are usually large and diverse. The process of project construction management is long and involves a large number of separate and connected tasks. Good leadership is also crucial in government construction projects since poor performance can have negative repercussions for the nation and the general population. Thus, effective leadership is essential and can provide answers to the many challenges that the construction sector faces which has long term socioeconomic implications for developing countries. This paper investigates the challenges that are faced by government initiated construction projects in developing countries and suggests possible ways of addressing them through effective leadership. Several studies have been undertaken to investigate factors leading to low productivity, cost overruns and hazards among other challenges in specific construction projects but less has been done to discuss the general challenges facing construction projects. In doing this, attention should be paid to contexts because they differ. This prompted me to study the Zimbabwean case.
