The investment importance, their financing issues at the small business level reflect the current agenda of the state socio-economic development. The investment market is a set of objects and subjects actions through the investment services implementation. In general, the Russian investment market tasks are: innovative projects implementation; development of the investment potential of the market as a whole. The article defines the small business role, it presents the financial support forms for small businesses. The authors come to the conclusion that the “project finance” category is a complex tool that can be presented in different forms and types. A similar point of view has developed due to the lack of consensus among researchers and practitioners; the main features of financing investment projects in the small business segment are highlighted: the lack of their own funds to finance investment projects; the attracting financial resources difficulty in investments using credit instruments (lack of collateral); underdevelopment of small business.

Investments are considered the most effective means of business recovery. A favorable investment climate is formed by the normative-legal and economic activity of the state. Accordingly, the article discusses the main directions of state regulation of investment activity. Limited investment resources are a major challenge for the effective development of the region, implementation of strategic goals and objectives. Its solution largely determines the modernization of business, which determines the development of the region and its investment attractiveness. Investments should be attracted in such areas of business, the realization of which will contribute to the development of the regions. In this regard, the most promising fields in Georgia are: tourism, energy, construction, agriculture, transport and communications. Taking into account national-state interests, the volume of investments in the structure of foreign investments should be increased, which will be directed to the revival and development of production. Integrated territorial investment measures must meet the different and diverse needs of different territories. Keywords: Business, Region, Investments, Competitiveness, Infrastructure, inflation.

В статье рассмотрены вопросы влияния инвестиционной деятельности предприятий на формирование и развитие бизнес-процессов. Определено, что большинство исследователей рассматривают инвестиции как синтетическую категорию, которая включает следующие элементы: сбережения, средства, имущество или ценности, процессы вложения или осуществления расходов, эффект, прибыль, доход. При этом определяющим фактором должна быть эффективность осуществленных вложений, а также достижение цели инвестирования. То есть инвестиции являются емким понятием, которое содержит основные элементы, определяя закономерности функционирования и саморегуляции инвестиционной сферы. Аргументировано, что инвестиционная деятельность предприятий связана как с научно-исследовательскими разработками, научными исследованиями, подготовкой высококвалифицированного персонала, так и приобретением необходимых средств производства, технологического оборудования, строительством инженерных сооружений, объектов недвижимости. The article discusses the influence of investment activities of enterprises on the formation and development of business processes. It has been determined that most researchers consider investments as a synthetic category, which includes the following elements: savings, funds, property or values, processes of investment or expenses, effect, profit, income. In this case, the determining factor should be the effectiveness of the investments made, as well as the achievement of the investment goal. That is, investment is a capacious concept that contains basic elements, defining the patterns of functioning and self-regulation of the investment sphere. It is argued that the investment activities of enterprises are associated both with research and development, scientific research, training of highly qualified personnel, and the acquisition of necessary means of production, technological equipment, construction of engineering structures, real estate.

The main purpose is to сonduct research about investment activities, the design of business processes, to evaluate and find improvements that help to organize business process. Business-process is based on the circumstances, that the financial director is responsible for the company’s money and investments one of the important components of the mentioned cash flow. In the given article the high-level business process of investment activity is offered, also there are given pre-investment and investment budgeting sub-processes. The author proposes to distinguish three phases: Pre-investment, investment, exploitation. Improvements in business process are perceived by members of companies and directors, finance departments as one of the main factors in improving the quality of investment activity. The results of the study can be useful for business managers in the context of developing improvement measures in investment activity, identifying key areas for improving the business process, which will improve profitability, transparency of financial activities, and trust and willingness to cooperate with investors in the future.

Full textAbstract:
The state of investment processes in agriculture was studied; the structural shifts and priority trends of investments were analyzed. The influence of the institutions was substantiated on the development of the investment policy, formation of investment processes. The influence of formal institutions (legal regulations for the ‘rules of play’) was assessed on the investment efficiency. The role of the formal institutions was identified in the investment success of the big agricultural business of Ukraine. The main causes of the low investment attractiveness of small and medium-sized business in the agrarian sector of the Ukrainian economy were defined – a limited and inefficient use of budget funds, weak market and investment maturity of non-formal institutions. The state of the non-formal institutions (sociocultural, psychological type of the Ukrainian peasantry) was identified as the main reason of the small and medium-sized business lag compared to the investment achievements of the agricultural holdings. The ways of development for the non-formal institutions were substantiated from the experience and examples of Poland and other developed countries. It was accentuated that asset capitalization of the small and medium-sized companies would be important for development of the investment processes in Ukraine.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how entrepreneurs market their business opportunities towards business angels in the investment process. This is achieved by introducing the business model canvas as a mitigating framework to help entrepreneurs in communicating and structuring the information desired by business angels. Design/methodology/approach This paper mobilises a case study approach by following a series of investment processes and investment meetings between entrepreneurs and business angels through 27 semi-structured interviews as well as participant observation and qualitative participant feedback from 13 investment processes. Findings The findings illustrate how introducing a framework like the business model canvas helps alleviate the informational and communication challenges between entrepreneurs and business angels. However, some problems occurred when the entrepreneurs and the business angels did not fully agree on the value proposition of the investment opportunity. Research limitations/implications The findings show that entrepreneurs who market their business cases to investors obtain better feedback and a higher chance of funding using the business model canvas. Implications of this paper also relate to the preparation of the entrepreneurs and that matchmakers between entrepreneurs and investors can use the business model canvas to facilitate such processes. Originality/value This paper contributes to both the theory of the investment process as well as the application of the business model canvas.

Management may see security as an inhibitor to the daily operations if the investment is not well aligned with current business activities or is presented in financial terms not relevant to their agenda. While this article shows that security improvements create bottom-line business benefits, there is still a need for security managers to focus on quantifying those benefits in relevant financial terms. The purpose is to demystify the principles of general investment processes and criteria for calculating the benefits and costs of investments while accentuating alignment to the imperatives of the organization that makes the investment. When security investments are assessed alongside other investment projects it helps to consider them on an equal footing, implying the use of similar, and ideally the same, methods of financial cost projection. It is equally important to position and present the proposed investment in a relevant business context.

The object of this study is the business processes of making an investment decision based on determining the state of the investment attractiveness of the enterprise. To support the adoption of investment decisions under the conditions of a fast-moving and dynamic environment, information-analytical support to the algorithm using intelligent information systems has been developed. The relevance of the study is justified by the continuous development of digitization processes, in particular in the financial realm. The traditional approach to the reproduction of management decision-making technology is complemented by the tools and methods of intelligent information systems. In particular, the modeling of the target subject area using UML made it possible to determine the main requirements for the projected information-analytical support (user roles, available options, types of connections and the logic of interaction between them). SQL queries to the information database speed up the process of processing and obtaining the necessary data samples. Business intelligence (BI) tools are used to create interactive reports that provide access to operational financial data. At the stage of making investment decisions, these tools make it possible to study a wide range of analytical data based on the results of the assessment of the investment attractiveness of the enterprise obtained at the previous stage of the developed algorithm. Monitoring of the main indicators of the enterprise's investment attractiveness is carried out on the basis of a dashboard, an information panel (display) with graphs, tables, and figures that clearly reflect the dynamics and rates of change of the investigated indicators. The results of the use of algorithmic information-analytical support make it possible to quickly prepare and make investment decisions. A visual description of the projected information-analytical support, visual content of the results of investment analysis, the validity of decisions due to the use of reliable retrospective information from an aggregated database

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The concept of a business existing to fulfil the wants and needs of the various stakeholders acknowledges that the prime goal of any commercial business is that of profit maximisation and the resultant stock price maximisation (Brigham & Ehrhardt, 2002:10). Any decision by the senior management or the board of an organisation should be primarily in the interest of its shareholders. It follows that any decision that does not add shareholder value subtracts from shareholder value; in other words, decisions must impact the bottom line financially. The manufacturing sector has seen its fair share of methods, interventions and programmes aimed at cost reduction and profit maximisation through a variety of total quality management (TOM), statistical process control (SPC), right/downsizing, efficiency improvements and yield maximisation. One of the most enduring and successful of these has been the advent of the lean manufacturing philosophy, defined as the complete and thorough elimination of waste to reduce the time line from receipt of customer order to delivery. It is a process-focused philosophy and not results focused, the belief being that the elimination of waste from all aspects of the process will ultimately result in financial success. Toyota have developed, and perfected more than most, the concept of lean manufacturing. They have termed their lean initiative the Toyota Production System (TPS). At the core of TPS is the concept of one piece flow controlled by customer pull. Given the success derived from TPS by Toyota it is only natural that other organisations have shown interest and have attempted, in varying degrees of success, to copy the TPS. But the magnitude of attempting to change the philosophy of an organisation in the short term is a daunting task and it is understandable why adopters of a lean way forward have rather turned to the lean tools as drivers of the process and value. The attraction of lean tools is that they can be applied in many areas of an organisation independent of one another. Organisations have a range of needs that need to be satisfied which include growth, increased profits, cash now and talent retention. The need to decide what interventions to apply when and where and what impact to profit and share value is of paramount importance to decision makers of organisations. By analysis of the results of a global industrial packaging company's efforts to implement lean through a tool-based approach, this study attempts to offer guidance to those organisations interested in implementing lean tools. The tools employed comprise four operational and three commercial tools. A financial model examining the impact of the tools on financial metrics is then developed and tested. The results show that the impact of the applied tools impact directly financial metrics used by investors to assess the relative attractiveness of an organisation's shares for the period 2003 to 2007. Further research should be conducted to determine the performance of the organisation for a ten to fifteen-year period to determine future success.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die konsep dat 'n sakeondememing bestaan om die verwagtinge en behoeftes van die onderskeie rolspelers te dien erken dat maksimale wins en die gevolglike optimale aandeleprys die primere doelwitte van enige kommersiele onderneming is (Brigham & Ehrhardt, 2002:10). Enige besluit deur die senior bestuur of the direksie van 'n ondememing behoort dus primer in die belang van sodanige ondememing se aandeelhouers te wees. Gevolglik sal enige besluit wat geen waarde tot die aandeelhouer bied nie, sodanige waarde verminder en moontlik lei tot disinvestering; met ander woorde, besluite moet finansieel 'n invloed op winsgewendheid he. Die vervaardigingsektor het al verskeie metodes, ingrypings en programme beleef wat gemik is op kostevermindering en winsverhoging deur middel van 'n verskeidenheid van algehele kwaliteitsbestuur ("total quality management"), statistiese prosesbeheer ("statistical process control"), herstrukturering deur middel van sogenaamde afskaling ("rightdownsizing"), verbetering van effektiwiteit en opbrengs. Een van die standhoudendste en suksesvolste van hierdie is die skep van die "spilvrye" vervaardigingsfilosofie ("lean manufacturing philosophy") wat gedefinieer word as: die totale en volledige eliminering van verspilling om die tydsverloop tussen die ontvangs van die klient se bestelling tot die aflewering te verminder. Die aanname word gemaak dat die eliminering van verspilling vanuit alle aspekte van die proses uiteindelik finansiele sukses tot gevolg sal he. Die filosofie is dus gefokus op die proses en nie op resultate nie. Toyota het die konsep van "spilvrye"-vervaardiging ontwikkel en, meer as ander, vervolmaak en verwys na hul inisiatief as die "Toyota Production System" of TPS. Sentraal tot die TPS is die konsep van enkel-aaneenlopende produksievloei beheer deur klienteopdrag en -behoefte. As gevolg van Toyota se sukses met die toepassing van die TPS is dit te verwagte dat ander organisasies belangstelling sou toon en met wisselende sukses gepoog het om die TPS na te boots. Om die filosofie van 'n organisasie in die kort termyn te verander is so 'n omvangryke taak dat dit begryplik is waarom nuwe bekeerlinge tot die "spilvrye" -filosofie eerder "spilvrye"-instrumente verkies as die dryfvere van die proses en waarde. Die aantrekkingskrag van "spilvrye"-instrumente is dat dit onafhanklik van mekaar in baie areas van 'n organisasie deur individue, werkspanne of konsultante aangewend kan word. Insluitend groei, die verhoging van wins, kontantvloei en die behoud van talent, het organisasies uiteenlopende behoeftes wat aangespreek moet word. Dit is van die uiterste belang vir besluitnemers van organisasies om te besluit op toepaslike ingryping, wanneer en waar, asook die uitwerking op wins en aandeelwaarde. As 'n poging om belangstellende organisasies te help, bied hierdie studie 'n analise van die resultate voortspruitend uit 'n globale industriele verpakkingsmaatskappy se pogings om die "spilvrye" konsep deur middel van 'n instrument-gebaseerde benadering te implementeer. Die resultate toon dat die impak van die toegepaste instrumente 'n direkte invloed het op die finansiele meetinstrumente, wat deur beleggers aangewend word om die relatiewe aantrekkingskrag van 'n organisasie se aandele vir die tydperk 2003 tot 2007 te bepaal. Om toekomstige sukses te bepaal behoort verdere navorsing egter gedoen te word ten opsigte van die organisasie se prestasie oor 'n tien- tot vyftien-jaar tydperk.

This research focuses on large-scale manufacturing systems having a number of stations with multiple tools and product types with different and deterministic processing steps. The objective is to determine the production quantities of multiple products and the tool requirements of each station that maximizes net profit while satisfying strategic constraints such as cycle times, required throughputs, and investment. The formulation of the problem, named OptiProfit, is a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) with the stochastic issues addressed by mean-value analysis (MVA) and queuing network models. Observing that OptiProfit is an NP-complete, nonconvex, and nonmonotonic problem, the research develops a heuristic method, Differential Coefficient Based Search (DCBS). It also performs an upper-bound analysis and a performance comparison with six variations of Greedy Ascent Procedure (GAP) heuristics and Modified Simulated Annealing (MSA) in a number of randomized cases. An example problem based on a semiconductor manufacturing minifab is modeled as an OptiProfit problem and numerically analyzed. The proposed methodology provides a very good quality solution for the high-level design and operation of manufacturing facilities.

Assignment (MComm)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Rapid development of asset pricing models, asset return prediction models,
information technologies, and the integration and globalisation of world
economic markets, require the investor to have a fundamental understanding
of the role of asset allocation (diversification) and the various strategies
available in achieving investor's risk and return objectives.
Assets are allocated across different asset classes in an attempt to optimise the
combination of investment returns and investment risk. In this way your
investment will not be subject to the volatility of anyone asset class alone. It
is important to note that the movements of one class of assets (stocks, bonds or
cash) may be somewhat offset by the non-correlated movement of a different
class of assets. The intent of asset allocation is not necessarily to increase
return as much as it is to fmd the accepted rate of return, while simultaneously
reducing risk or maintaining it at a predefined level.
This study explores the underlying theories concerning the relative importance
of asset allocation in determining portfolio performance, and the three primary
asset allocation strategies available. It also discusses relevant theory of how
the predictability of asset returns and the investment horizon of a portfolio can
have an impact on which asset allocation strategy to utilize in achieving the
necessary risk and return objectives of the investor.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die toenemende ontwikkeling van bate prys modelle, modelle wat die
opbrengs van bates vooruitskat, informasie tegnologie, asook die integrasie en
globalisering van internasionale ekonomiese markte, vereis dat die
investeerder 'n omvangryke kennis moet beskik oor die rol van bate allokasie
(diversifisering) en die verskillende strategië beskikbaar tot die bereiking van
investeerder risiko en opbrengs doelwitte.
Bates word geallokeer tussen verskillende bate kategorieë (aandele, effekte of
kontant) in die poging om die kombinasie tussen belegging opbrengste en
belegging risiko te optimaliseer. Sodoende word die belegging nie blootgestel
aan die onbestendigheid van slegs een bate kategorie nie. Daar moet gelet
word dat die beweging van een kategorie van bates (aandele, effekte of
kontant) teengewerk kan word deur die nie-korrelerende beweging van 'n
ander kategorie van bates. Die voorneming van bate allokasie is nie
noodwendig die toename van opbrengste nie. Daar word gestreef na die
bereiking van 'n aanvaarbare opbrengskoers, terwyl risiko verminder word of
volhou word op 'n voorafbepaalde vlak.
Hierdie studie ondersoek die onderliggende teorieë rakende die relatiewe
belangrikheid van bate allokasie om portefuelje opbrengste te kan bepaal,
asook die drie primêre bate allokasie strategieë beskikbaar. Relevante teorie
word bespreek, betreffende die vooruitskatting van bate opbrengste en die
horison van 'n portefuelje, asook die impak wat beide het op die keuse van 'n
geskikte bate allokasie strategie, om sodoende aan die nodige risiko en
opbrengs doelwitte van die investeerder te kan voldoen.

Full textAbstract:
Business angels invest directly in unquoted companies managed by someone else who is not a relative and represent an important source of funds for new start-ups (~1.0% of GDP according to the GEM). This doctoral thesis addresses and contributes in two issues in business angels’ research, the disparity of definitions and contradictory evidence on business angels screening criteria in previous literature.
The research identifies and discusses 10 definitional issues, investigates how definitional choices are driven by sampling methodologies and to what extent they impact study results. The review of 24 previous studies proves that there are multiple definitions, often chosen due to the sampling methodology employed and that the use of inconsistent definitions leads to study different population of investors with different results. The study advocates for a consensus definition, preferably wide, and proposes a framework to advance towards that.
Based on statistical analysis of a database of 215 projects and using three different sources to avoid bias (investor, entrepreneur and project documentation), the research concludes that the screening phase is critical within the investment process (45% rejection rate) and that success is driven by presentational skills, rather than the business opportunity or the entrepreneurial team. Sector, development stage and macroeconomic environment do not influence investment criteria. At the initial screening, business angels take their decisions based on intuitive and intangible aspects, rather than on rational considerations and tangible elements, such as the business opportunity or the entrepreneurs’ credentials. The comparison of results with previous research based on investors recollections, rather than actual behaviour, suggests that investors are not fully aware of the criteria they effectively use. In the informal venture capital market, investment process inefficiencies are as important as market inefficiencies (lack of information or investment projects) previously researched.
The findings should lead to assess the measures of support for business angels implemented to date, based on data on big investors, to target smaller investors on issues of diversification, continuity of investment history and avoiding investment process inefficiencies.<br>Els inversors privats o business angels inverteixen directament en empreses cotitzades gestionades per un tercer no familiar i representen una de les fonts principals de fons per noves empreses (~1.0% del PIB segons el GEM). La tesi aporta en dos punts de la recerca en inversors privats; la disparitat de definicions i l’evidència contradictòria sobre els seus criteris de filtratge de projectes.
La recerca identifica i argumenta 10 problemes de definició, investiga com la tria de definicions està influïda per la metodologia de mostratge emprada i com impacta al seu torn en els resultats. La revisió de 24 estudis anteriors demostra que hi ha múltiples definicions, a vegades escollides en funció de la metodologia de mostreig i que l’ús de definicions inconsistents porta a diferents resultats. L’estudi defensa una definició de consens, preferiblement àmplia, i proposa un marc conceptual per facilitar-ho.
Basant-se en l’anàlisi estadístic d’una base de dades de 215 projectes i utilitzant 3 fonts diferents per evitar biaix (l’inversor, l’emprenedor i la documentació del projecte), la recerca conclou que la fase de filtratge inicial és crucial dins del procés d’inversió (45% taxa de refús) i que l’èxit en la fase de filtratge depèn sobretot de les habilitats presentacionals enlloc de l’oportunitat de negoci o de l’equip emprenedor. El sector d’activitat del projecte, el desenvolupament o l’entorn macroeconòmic no influeixen en els criteris d’inversió. En la fase de filtratge inicial els inversors prenen les seves decisions basant-se en la intuïció i aspectes intangibles, enlloc de consideracions racionals i elements tangibles, com l’oportunitat de negoci o les credencials de l’emprenedor. La comparació amb resultats d’estudis anteriors basats en els inputs dels inversors suggereix que els propis inversors no són totalment conscients dels criteris utilitzats efectivament. En el mercat de capital risc informal, les ineficiències del procés d’inversió són tan importants com les ineficiències de mercat (falta d’informació o falta de projectes) investigades anteriorment.
Les conclusions haurien de portar a revisar les polítiques de suport als business angels implementades fins ara, definides a partir de grans inversors, per abordar inversors més petits amb problemes de diversificació, continuïtat de l’activitat inversora i ineficiències en el procés inversor.

Capital investments play a crucial role for the business of every firm. In an industrial context, energy efficiency is an important means to meet future energy needs and in the same time reduce climate impact. In this thesis, the investment process for capital investments is therefore studied by addressing the case of industrial capital investments improving energy efficiency. The thesis specifically aims to illuminate how additional benefits, i.e. non-energy benefits, are and can be acknowledged in the investment process by applying an ex-ante perspective. The thesis holds the decision-making process as unit of analysis and aims to contribute with insights on firm level. Especially in an energy-efficiency context, such a process perspective has only been scarcely applied. The thesis is based on a literature review and two empirical studies. The literature review is the starting point of the thesis and reviews the literature on benefit concepts and investment behaviour of energy-efficiency investments. It is then followed by an explorative study in which thirteen industrial Swedish firms are interviewed on how they consider non-energy benefits. Investment motives and critical aspects for adopting energy-efficiency investments are also addressed. It also includes a questionnaire, distributed and collected during a networking event for energy-intensive firms within Swedish manufacturing industry. The second empirical study is a case study conducted at a Swedish pulp and paper firm. It aims to take a comprehensive perspective on the investment process as well as to analyse how and when non-energy benefits are acknowledged in the investment process. This case study approach enables participants at different levels in the organisation to be engaged in the study and new perspectives to be addressed. The results indicate a general investment process passing through the phases identification, development and selection. Investment motives, information, internal coordination and external actors appear as key aspects of the investment process. Energy-efficiency investments are primarily initiated due to cost-savings motives. However, the subsequent investment process appears as consistent for all investment categories; the investment process described here is thus not specific for energy-efficiency investments only. The results instead indicate an investment process influenced by investment size; it influences the extent to which information is collected and assessed before making the decision, i.e. level of procedural rationality, as well as how the investment project is coordinated within the firm. Last, suppliers are involved in the investment process to a large extent from an early stage. Regarding non-energy benefits, the results indicate that various benefits have been observed but far from all are acknowledged in the investment process. They are to a larger extent acknowledged for larger investments when more resources are devoted to the investment process. Quantifiable non-energy benefits improve the business case for energy-efficiency investments and non-energy benefits should thus be quantified to the extent possible. Yet, nonenergy benefits characterised by a lower level of quantifiability could still be important, such as benefits related to work environment, and should therefore be considered. However, the findings indicate a frequent use and reliance upon an investment manual, implicating a need for simplicity when addressing the additional benefits. This indicates that there should be an emphasis on a limited number of main benefits, rather than seeking to acknowledge all possible benefits.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the investment process within Swedish franchises. Furthermore, the study aims to investigate the franchisees participation in the investment process. Theory: The theoretical framework of reference in this essay consists of hand-picked theories and previous research articles of the investment process and franchise. Method: The thesis is a qualitative case study in which semi-structured interviews have been conducted with four cases. All companies are full members of the Swedish Franchise Association. Empirics: The data collected through semi-structured interviews is presented company á company to make the essay as clear and transparent as possible. Analysis of the empiricism comes in a separate section where the data is set against the theoretical framework of reference. Conclusion: The study results in the absence of a specific model for the investment process of Swedish franchises. The weight the companies put into the different phases of the investment process varies depending on how the franchise concept is structured. The study shows that franchisees participation in the investment process varies for the same reason.<br>Syfte: Syftet med denna undersökning är att undersöka investeringsprocessen i svenska franchiseföretag. Vidare är syftet att undersöka franchisetagarens delaktighet i investeringsprocessen. Teori: Den teoretiska referensramen i denna uppsats består av handplockade teorier och tidigare forskning rörande investeringsprocessen och franchise. Metod: Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ fallstudie där semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med fyra fallföretag. Samtliga företag är fullvärdiga medlemmar i Svenska Franchiseföreningen. Empiri: Den data som samlats in med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer presenteras företag för företag i syfte att göra uppsatsen så tydlig och transparent som möjligt. Analys av empiri presenteras i ett eget avsnitt där datan ställs mot den teoretiska referensramen. Slutsats: Undersökningen påvisar att det inte finns någon specifik modell för investeringsprocessen i svenska franchiseföretag. Tyngden företagen lägger i de olika faserna av investeringsprocessen varierar beroende på hur franchisekonceptet är uppbyggt. Undersökningen visar att franchisetagares delaktighet i investeringsprocessen varierar av samma anledning.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MTech (Business Information Systems))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018.<br>Railway organisations in South Africa are government parastatals. These organisations have embarked on mega modernisation programmes. Project and procurement process alignment is crucial to the successful implementation of such programmes, as the disconnect between the two processes may result in project cost overruns and escalations. Projects in the parastatal organisations are not completed on or executed according to the planned schedules. The two main research questions are stated as follows:
i) What factors affect the alignment between procurement and project management processes in the South African railway organisation? ii) How can the parastatal organisation align the procurement and project management processes? For the research methodology, a subjectivist ontological and interpretivist epistemological stance was followed. The research approach is inductive, with a case study as strategy. Data collection was done on a non-random, purposively selected unit of analysis and observation. Purposive sampling allows the researcher to rely on his or her own judgement when choosing to participate in the study. Participants were selected based on characteristics of a population and the objectives of the study. The participants belong to three departments, namely IT, SCM, and the Project Management Office (Project Managers). These three departments were selected because of their relevance to the study. Interviews were conducted using semi-structured questionnaires. The instrument used was interview guide. Data was analysed by firstly transcribing the interviews. To confirm the correctness of the interviews, the data was validated. Data was further analysed by means of summarising, categorising, and conducting a thematic analysis. Ethical principles were followed in accordance with the policies and procedure of CPUT. The study revealed that project and procurement process misalignment in the railway sector in South Africa does exists. A detailed discussion of factors contributing to this misalignment are discussed further in chapter five and chapter six is recommendations.

Full textAbstract:
The textbook covers the main issues of controlling and analyzing the effectiveness of an organization's business processes. It is when managing business processes that an entrepreneur incurs the main costs and receives the main income, which subsequently forms the financial result of the entire activity or other beneficial effect. Therefore, the analysis of indicators and factors of cost formation and business development is an important task for the organization's analysts. Controlling and analyzing the effectiveness of business processes help to identify bottlenecks, problem areas and optimize the work of the organization as a whole. They provide information about which processes generate the most revenue and which require additional investments. Thus, an entrepreneur can focus his efforts on developing and optimizing the most profitable business processes. Ultimately, effective business process management allows an entrepreneur to achieve a positive financial result and a beneficial effect in the organization's activities. It follows that controlling and analyzing the effectiveness of business processes are an integral part of successful management and development of an organization.

AbstractThe study investigates systemic risks affecting capital investment flows in Ukraine’s post-crisis economy, employing VAR models and the Kalman filter. It analyzes the relationship between investment flows and key macroeconomic indicators. Utilizing neural network tools, the research identifies pivotal factors influencing investment processes amidst wartime. The study delineates primary strategies for risk mitigation, including the adoption of modern warfare economics principles, combating systemic dysfunctions such as corruption, and legitimizing property rights through targeted investments. Furthermore, in the financial sector, there is a notable emphasis on the imperative: to enhance commercialization in banking, align regulations with EU standards, develop money, bond, and securities markets, facilitate small business financing and financial inclusivity, and mobilize external financing to sustain financial stability.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractPurpose—This paper aims to describe an amiable approach of addressing challenges to transitioning to a circular economy through collaboration and knowledge sharing between different partners.Design/methodology/approach—The design science research methodology is used to identify the problem of the circular economy, suggest solutions, develop a usable artefact based on gathered user feedback interviews (n = 15) with US recyclers and industry experts.Findings—There are two main approaches to navigating the circular economy, soft and hard methods. Hard methods include investing in digitalization and newer technologies to improve one’s processes. However, these methods require an initial capital investment and high operation costs, which can deter many SMEs. Soft methods on the other hand, include methods such as collaboration and sharing of knowledge. These methods require no initial investments, but rather rely on the use of learning from partners to improve their processes and gather data to evaluate internal structures. These soft methods are explained in detail and an artefact has been developed to showcase these approaches.Business and social implications—This article furthers ideas of the circular economy regarding collaboration to identify the right sourcing partner. This is of growing importance to meet regulatory requirements of increasing recycling quotas on specific materials like secondary plastic.Originality/value—The developed artefacts of material sheet and utility analysis tools improve the transparency of reusable material flows. It has been proven for a global producer of reusable plastic packaging solutions operating in the US with state-specific recycling content requirements. It provides a decision-framework to secure sourcing of secondary plastic to acceptable costs, CO2 reduction/sustainability and partner’s fit.

Abstract Blockchain technologies provide means to develop services that are secure, transparent and efficient by nature. Unsurprisingly, the emerging business opportunities has gained a lot of interest that is realized in form of successful Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) that are able to raise billions of USD through crowdfunding campaign. In this exploratory research we study 91 ICOs through content analysis in order to investigate the special characteristics of ICO crowdfunding as business models towards the possible investors. We found that ICOs can be described through (1) the model for providing incentives for investment, (2) the pricing strategy, (3) the token strategy and (4) the activities for crowd involvement in value co-creation.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn this chapter, we dive deeper into the capital budgeting process, which is the process of making a list of investment projects to be done. We make these investment decisions more tangible by presenting detailed calculation examples—including the calculation and forecasting of (incremental) cash flows and their drivers. Subsequently, we identify behavioural challenges in the capital budgeting process, such as the tendency to continue poor projects for too long, to underestimate risk, and to overestimate cash flows. Next, we integrate social and environmental factors in the capital budgeting process—integrated capital budgeting. The constrained, expanded, and integrated PVs (introduced in Chap. 6) are now shown with cash flow projections. It is shown that FV, SV, and EV can have shared, reinforcing, or conflicting underlying value drivers—and that the way and extent to which they are taken into account affect decisions.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of spatial, economic and social transformation and their influence on the development of a landscape valorization strategy, in terms of the possibilities for implementing structural changes in the territory of a country, through which structural changes to support the introduction of new technologies and innovations, resulting in a change in the sectoral structure of a country's economy. On the other hand, by assessing the impact of social transformation, an explanation will be sought for a number of processes related to the motivation to upskill the workforce in different regions, and possible ways of stimulating them will be sought by creating opportunities to improve the existing business environment in lagging regions in developing countries. An assessment of the role of spatial transformation is necessary in view of creating the conditions to stimulate investment in lagging regions, and to achieve sustainable development through a balanced use of available resources. On the other hand, the need to develop a strategy for the valorisation of the landscape should be highlighted in the light of an assessment of spatial, economic and social transformation, in the context of the objectives set by a number of countries to achieve the transition to a low-carbon and digitalised economy. This process, on the other hand, implies considerable efforts to increase the digital skills of the population, which will have an impact on the development of personal and collective incentives for the development and application of innovation in the socio-economic life of the population in the regions. On the other hand, the need to develop a valorisation strategy for the landscape is underlined by the search for opportunities to increase investment in green technologies in productive activities.

The article examines the role of investments in the development of the economy of the Kyrgyz Republic in the context of the integration of the Eurasian Economic Union, presents regional aspects of investment processes in the Kyrgyz Republic, analyzes the main indicators of investment activity in terms of economic activities and regional distribution.
 In our country, investments play an important role in the development of both regions of the country, and medium and large businesses. It is difficult for enterprises to choose independently from the crisis, and the state does not always have the means to subsidize and invest in enterprises and regions. Thus, if the state is interested in a stable and strong economy, then it should create a favorable investment climate at the legislative and executive levels. The formation of a favorable investment climate in the country, which determines the profitability of the investment process, is one of the main tasks facing the state.

Full textAbstract:
Investments, approached as a factor influencing the future, have an essential role in economic growth and development by stimulating the production process and by creating new, high-performing structures that are correlated with the specific needs of individuals and society. From the point of view of access to resources, but also of economic-social competition, economic development generates a higher level of performance, certified on the basis of qualitative and quantitative evaluation processes. In this context, the analysis system of investment projects must be based on operational principles and instruments with medium and long-term impact, capable of aligning with strategic visions. In this paper, based on the research carried out in the specialized literature and the analyzed studies regarding public investments, we identify the current challenges regarding the performance of public investment projects and propose a series of criteria for evaluating the performance of public investments and a sequence of stages to ensure the elimination of non-performing projects at the local, regional and national level. The results of the present research reveal the inadequate prioritization of public investments to ensure adequate sustainability and offer us the opportunity to develop new research directions in the following works in which we will analyze the impact that inadequate prioritization has on the sustainability of local, regional and national communities.

Full textAbstract:
The "Financial Behavior" in the field of "decision making" is the topic that awarded the economist Richard H. Thaler the Nobel Prize in 2017. According to him, after many investigations made on human decisions, it is noticed that they often depend on nature, intuition, habits, cognitive biases, emotional biases which lead the investor to wrong decisions. Given that the investments play an important and central role in the economy, the main purpose of the paper is to analyze the investment decision making process based on emotional bias, or more specifically the overconfidence bias. This study captures the impact of gender, and level of education on overconfidence during investment decision making in North Macedonia. The results show that investors' decisions were significantly influenced by the overconfidence bias. Although men and women are found to be overconfident, studies have shown that the degree of overconfidence varies among them and men are more overconfident than women. Also, overconfidence increases with the level of education. Based on the results certain recommendations are provided in order to assist future investment decision-making processes by notifying and eliminating the overconfidence bias identified during this research as a key factor leading to wrong and failing, non-rational investment decision making.

Full textAbstract:
This presentation discusses how the Forest Investment Attractiveness Index (IAIF) and the Process to Improve the Business Climate for Forest Investment (PROMECIF) can be useful to improve forest sector governance. The general objective of the IAIF is to measure the business climate for investments in the sustainable forest business. The IAIF allows the systematic, periodic, quantitative and more rigorous analyses of the factors that affect the success of forest direct investment and business decision making. This presentation was created for a side event to the 24th Session of the Latin American and Caribbean Forestry Commission that took place on June 26th, 2006, in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic.

Breslin, Shaun. Open for Business? China’s Inward Foreign Investment Charm Offensive. EuroHub4Sino, 2025. https://doi.org/10.31175/eh4s.cb0a.
Full textAbstract:
Key Takeaways: - In February 2025, China’s Ministry of Commerce issued a new Action Plan for Stabilizing Foreign Investment. - The Action Plan forms part of a longer- term process of gradually opening up more sectors to foreign investment, and piloting reforms to partially liberalise previously closed areas (in the service sector, telecoms, education and healthcare). - China’s leaders are particularly keen to emphasise the “voluntary and unilateral” nature of these liberalising reforms, and to contrast them to protectionist moves in advanced Western economies. - The 2025 Action Plan is an example of the performative element of administrative change and political action in China. It is best thought of as an attempt to send a message to outsiders to convince them of the leadership’s intent to further open the economy, to make it easier to invest, and to guarantee the rights of both current and future foreign investors. - There is a relatively strong belief (or perhaps hope) in China that the Trump presidency will result in Europeans seeking to reset Sino-European relations. - Despite the messaging, it remains far from clear when or if new sectors will become truly open to foreign investment, and if guarantees and assurances will always be honoured. - Many of the questions Europeans have long had about reciprocity and the openness of the Chinese economy essentially remain unanswered.

This presentation, directed to private sector investors from Finland, is about the investment climate for sustainable forest businesses in selected Latin American countries. The Forest Investment Attractiveness Index (IAIF) and the Process to Improve the Business Climate for Forest Investment (PROMECIF) were also discussed as tools to measure and help to improve the climate. The IAIF allows the systematic, periodic, quantitative and more rigorous analyses of the factors that affect the success of forest direct investment and business decision-making. This presentation was created for the AEL FinPRO Seminar "The Opportunities for the Forest Industry in Latin America," held in Helsinki, Finland on June 8th, 2006.

Stadnyk, Vаlentyna, Pavlo Izhevskiy, Nila Khrushch, Sergii Lysenko, Galyna Sokoliuk, and Tetjana Tomalja. Strategic priorities of innovation and investment development of the Ukraine's economy industrial sector. [б. в.], 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.31812/123456789/4471.
Full textAbstract:
The problem of determining the investment priorities of the national economy development has been actuated. It has been argued that the formation of institutional preferences for activation of industry investment processes should be carried out taking into account the potential ability of each sectoral group enterprises to increase the added value. The scientific and methodical approach for sub-sectors investment attractiveness assessment has been formed on the example of the Ukrainian food industry. It has been recommended to use for this substantiated set of relative performance indexes which are duplicated in aggregate statistical state surveys based on the enterprise’s financial statements. It has been formed the recommendations for the investment priorities of food industry development in Ukraine which are based on the appropriate calculations made by the TOPSIS and CRITIC methods. Methods of economic-statistical and comparative analysis were used for structural and dynamic characteristics of the Ukraine industrial enterprises activities. Given that innovation processes should also cover small and medium-sized industrial enterprises, whose resource opportunities are mostly limited, it is proposed to expand them within the framework of a strategic partnership. Graphic modeling methods have been used to visualize the process of building the business structures resource potential on the basis of their strategic partnership. The influence of the motivational environment on the value of organizational relations within the partnership has been formalized.

Full textAbstract:
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) manages over 2,000 traffic signals in the State. It is unfeasible to identify systemwide improvement opportunities by evaluating the performance of thousands of traffic signals on monitoring dashboards. This report describes how a scalable technique based on connected vehicle (CV) trajectory data systematically evaluates performance at the movement level to prioritize retiming and maintenance activities. In total, eleven timing changes were implemented at nine traffic signals over various time-of-day (TOD) periods using the proposed approach. The method achieved average control delay and split failure reductions of up to 53 sec/veh and 30%, respectively. A before-after performance analysis is presented for each intersection and the business processes implemented to achieve these results are discussed. The business process analysis resulted in a companion study, SPR-4857, which identified signals with operational performance problems that should be further evaluated for potential capital investments, such as turn lane additions.

Bernal, Richard L. Chinese Foreign Direct Investment in the Caribbean: Potential and Prospects. Inter-American Development Bank, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0009313.
Full textAbstract:
China has recently become the third largest source of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the world and is a major source of development aid for developing countries, including those in the Caribbean. The capital flows it provides have taken the form of loans to governments to finance infrastructure projects and to expand production of oil and other raw materials. There have been indications of interest in further investment in the Caribbean from Chinese enterprises and entrepreneurs. This is driven by both state policy, which seeks to more actively integrate China into the global economy, and enterprise-level interests by both state and private enterprises. Caribbean governments have generally been receptive to prospective incoming FDI. This paper identifies the instances of Chinese FDI in the Caribbean to date and discusses the potential for further investment, highlighting opportunities in agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, mining, infrastructure, and fishing. The factors influencing the emergence of Chinese FDI in the Caribbean include: the ongoing learning process by both investors and the governments of host countries; the performance of vanguard companies; transnational ethnic business networks; the local business environment; and the policies of Caribbean governments.
