Marney R: The Emerging Markets
Investor’s Guide to Country Risk

The Emerging Markets Investor’s Guide to Country Risk

Systematic Risks and the Threats to Investment Performance

Dieses Buch stellt das gesamte Spektrum der Anlageklasse Private Equity systematisch dar und bietet eine umfassende und zugleich kompakte Grundlage für dieses Wissensgebiet. Der inhaltli­che Schwerpunkt liegt zunächst auf der Erläuterung der wichtigsten Private-Equity-Investment­strategien wie Venture Capital, Growth Capital, Leveraged Buyouts, Distressed Assets und Mezzanine Finance. Darauf aufbauend werden unterschiedliche Zugangsmöglichkeiten zu der Anlageklasse, wie Investitionen in Private-Equity-Fonds, Fund-of-Funds-Strukturen sowie der Kauf von Aktien börsennotierter Private-Equity-Manager erklärt. Wichtige Zielgruppen sind Mitar­beiter institutioneller Investoren wie Pensionskassen und Vermögensverwaltungsgesellschaften, Mitarbeiter von Family Offices sowie vermögende Privatinvestoren, die überwiegend über Fonds­vehikel in die Anlageklasse investieren. Aufgrund seiner durchgehenden Systematik eignet sich das Buch jedoch auch als Lehrbuch im Hochschulstudium sowie als Nachschlagewerk für Invest­ment Professionals in der Private-Equity-Branche.Der Inhalt<ul><li>Einführung</li><li>Private-Equity-Direktbeteiligungen</li><li>Private Equity Fonds</li><li>Private Equity Dachfonds</li><li>Aktien börsennotierter Private-Equity-Manager als Anlagemöglichkeit</li><li>Gesamtwirtschaftliche Auswirkungen von Private Equity</li></ul>Die AutorenMehdi Mostowfi ist Professor für Finance an der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissen­schaften (ZHAW). Er ist stellvertretender Leiter des Instituts für Financial Management und Leiter der Fachstelle Corporate Finance &amp; Capital Markets. Sein beruflicher Werdegang umfasst Tätig­keiten als Senior Investment Manager für Private-Equity-Investitionen bei der Deutschen Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft (DEG), als Investment Banker bei Morgan Stanley sowie als Berater bei McKinsey &amp; Company im Corporate Finance &amp; Strategy Practice.&nbsp;Fabian Danko ist Dozent und stellvertretender Leiter der Fachstelle Corporate Finance &amp; Capital Markets an der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (ZHAW). Fabian Danko hält einen Master of Arts in Accounting and Finance der Universität St. Gallen (HSG) und verfügt über mehr als 10 Jahre Erfahrung in den Bereichen M&amp;A und Private Equity. In seiner letzten Funktion bei einem Schweizer Private-Equity-Unternehmen war er für die Transaktionsstruktur sowie die finanzielle Due Diligence der Akquisitionen verantwortlich.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dieses Buch deckt das gesamte Spektrum der Anlageklasse Private Equity systematisch ab und präsentiert eine methodisch-didaktische, umfassende und dennoch kompakte Grundlage für dieses Wissensgebiet. Die inhaltliche Zielsetzung des Buches besteht in der Vermittlung von wissenschaftlich fundiertem, in der Praxis gut verwertbarem Wissen auf dem Gebiet Direct Private Equity Investmentstrategien (Venture Capital, Growth Capital, Leveraged Buyouts, Distressed Assets und Mezzanine Finance), Private Equity Fonds (mit jeweiligem Fokus auf eine der Direct PE Investment Strategien) sowie auf Fund of Private Equity Funds (Primaries, Secondaries und Co-Investments). Nachdem sich die Zielgruppe des Buches neben Studierenden und Wissernschaftlern in erster Linie aus Mitarbeitern von institutionellen Investoren (von Pensionskassen, Vermögenswaltungsgesellschaften und Family Offices) und vermögenden Privatinvestoren bildet, die in der Regel über die Vehikel PE Fonds und PE Fund-of-Funds in diese Anlageklasse investieren, soll der Schwerpunkt des Buches auf der Darstellung dieser Anlageformen liegen. Neben einem grundlegenden Verständnis der Produkte/ Investitionsvehikel soll der Leser mit der grundsätzlichen Vorgehensweise bei ihrer Analyse und Bewertung vertraut gemacht und hierdurch unter anderem befähigt werden, selbstständig eine Due Diligence im Vorfeld einer Investition in Private Equity Fonds (oder Fund of Funds) durchzuführen. Für die Analyse und Prüfung von PE-Fonds ist jedoch ein gutes Verständnis der Direct PE Investmentstrategien unerlässlich. Daher wird im Anschluss an das Einführungskapitel (über PE als Anlageklasse) zunächst in diese Thematik (PE-Strategien, Bewertung von Direct PE-Investitionen und Exit-Strategien) eingeführt, bevor die Themen PE Fonds und PE Fund-of-Funds ausführlich behandelt werden. In Zusammenhang (und Abgrenzung) zu PE-Fonds wird das Buch auch auf neuere Alternative Anlageformen in Private Equity (wie zum Beispiel Crowd-Investing) eingehen. Des Weiteren ist das Buch unseres Wissens die erste Monografie, die über die genannten Anlageformen hinaus auch auf die Möglichkeit der Investition in börsennotierte Manager (als Alternative zu PE-Fondsinvestitionen) eingehen und deren Gemeinsamkeiten/Unterschiede zu Investitionen in (von den Managern verwalteten) Fonds herausstellen wird.&nbsp;

Bar oder mit Karte? Oder doch mit App oder Blockchain? Sebastian Gießmanns rasante Geschichte der Kreditkarte führt uns in die verborgenen Welten des digitalen Bezahlens. Sie zeigt erstmals, wie unsere digitale Gegenwart in Nordamerika mit einer kleinen Plastikkarte begonnen hat, was Magnetstreifen und Chips eigentlich bedeuten und wie Europa einmal führend im digitalen Bezahlen werden konnte. Gießmann führt die Leser:innen elegant in die verschwiegene Innenwelt von Banken, Kreditkartenorganisationen und computerisierter High-Tech-Sicherheit. Er würdigt die Alltäglichkeit der Transaktion ebenso wie die irrwitzigen true crimes des Kreditkartenbetrugs. Das Kreditkarten-Buch fragt nach der Wahrheit hinter den Werbeslogans, Firmenlogos und Fernsehspots. Wie wir bezahlen, ist politisch. Soziale Teilhabe und Differenz, Konsum, finanzielle Überwachung, die Zukunft des Bargeldes: Im digitalen Bezahlen steht nicht weniger auf dem Spiel als unsere ökonomische Identität.

India Studies in Business and Economics

This book presents fresh research on how Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), patterns of clustering, digitalization and innovation policies, interact and influence India's industrialisation and its greening or sustainability. As India seeks to accelerate its process of industrialization especially focusing on the manufacturing sector, different interactions between agents of industrialization need to be understood better through evidence-based research. The volume through its 17 original contributions, focuses on three broad interrelated themes: FDI, export performance, innovation and environmental sustainability; growth, competitiveness and spatial distribution of MSMEs concerning access to finance, digitalisation and sustainability; and, green technology, circular economy and challenges towards clean transition and green industrialization. Research presented in this book does not see industrialization as an isolated process from globalization and appreciates the need to act upon specific impacts of foreign trade and investments. With a focused and futuristic approach towards industrialisation in India, it provides rigorous evidence-based treatment of complex interactions using secondary and primary sources of data deploying appropriate analytical techniques. In light of empirical findings, each chapter comes up with policy lessons for industrial strategy.


Shedding new light and evidence, this book makes an important contribution by helping to generate a better understanding of the process of green industrialization and how it can be fostered to create inclusive and sustainable prosperity. It will be an invaluable resource for policymakers, analysts, researchers and students of industrial and environmental economics.

Sustainable Development Goals Series

This book is open access, What makes people competent at work? This question is becoming complicated with the emergence of new technologies and the hastened pace of global economic exchanges. While there is less consensus about what people should know and be able to do to be rewarded in the workplace, the discussion about skills and competencies becomes even hotter among those who express concern about the gaps between the demands and supplies of "skilled" workforces.
&nbsp;
Given this situation, one of the main objectives of this book is to clarify the true nature of often-discussed "skills gaps", using the cases of manufacturing workers in the Global South. Instead of discussing the issues based on a broad, ambiguous understanding of human abilities, after an extensive, cross-disciplinary review of the literature and theorization, the book proposes a detailed classification of cognitive, non-cognitive (including socio-emotional skills and personality traits), and technical abilities. Then, it presents both contextually relevant and generalizable explanations about relationships among them. By doing so, the volume offers insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking ideas to reform their human resources development policies and practices.
&nbsp;
The second objective of the volume is to propose the analytical perspective of Realist-Constructivism, using the "skills gaps" analysis as the empirical case, to demonstrate its theoretical, conceptual, and practical capacities to overcome the dichotomy between induction and deduction through abductive reasoning with a set of instruments to collect data that enable such analysis.
&nbsp;
Empirical surveys, using a set of questionnaires and skills assessment we developed, were conducted in four countries in the Global South: Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa, and Pakistan. With Realist-Constructivism, we can consider work-related competencies in close relation to the specific workplace requirements and culture, while situating them within broader industrial, economic, and regulatory frameworks. Our methods and instruments enable us to link the subjective epistemologies of competencies among individuals in the micro-ecologies of the workplace with the ontological realities of labor market opportunities and evaluations.

How to Analyze, Select and Manage Digital Assets

Investing in Crypto with Confidence

For a long time, it has not only been sociologists, historians, and some heterodox economists who criticize the model of complete rationality. For the increasingly influential branch of behavioral economics, it is precisely the frequently observed "irrationality" of economic actors that constitutes the central point of departure for analysis. Anyone who still searches for the economically rational human being, the 
 homo oeconomicus
 , will find him, among other places, in financial advice literature. However, in this particular literary genre, unlike his scholarly counterpart, he does not embody an abstract principle of economic action or a hypothesis to be empirically tested concerning the behavior of real actors. Rather, he presents himself as a normative ideal and model to which "smart," "forward-looking," and "eager-to-learn" readers are encouraged to orient themselves. Philipp Neeb examines a corpus of approximately 200 historical and contemporary works of financial advice in German and English regarding the question of how norms and criteria of rational decision-making in dealing with money have been communicated under specific historical conditions. The underlying perspective is that of the sociology of knowledge. The specific selectivity with which financial advice literature asks for criteria of rationality for monetary decisions corresponds, according to the author's thesis, to an overemphasis of economic roles and economic concerns over all other relevant roles and life contexts. It is thus simultaneously an expression of a popular 
 reflection theory
 of the economy.
