Daoud, Dana, and Veronica Högfeldt. "Expanding into new markets : Is Lebanon a potential market for Swedish fast fashion companies?" Thesis, Högskolan i Borås, Institutionen Textilhögskolan, 2013. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hb:diva-17106.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of the thesis is to describe and analyze the potential in a new and foreign market and the market we chose to define is Lebanon. We want to see if there is any potential for Swedish fashion companies to establish there and what kind of problems and barriers the companies could bump into if they decide to expand their operations to Lebanon.The theories that the study is based on are Push & Pull, The Uppsala-model, the Internationalization model, international market environments and the entry modes.Lebanon is a potential market for Swedish fashion companies. It is a market with a big consumer group that likes to spend money on fashion. Since Sweden is famous for fashion that comes with both good quality and price, it would profit them if they entered the Lebanese market. Companies should travel to Lebanon and experience the market and the potential there by themselves, before they enter it. It is important that companies which are in the starting hole to expand to a newmarket collect as much information as possible about it before establishing there to be able to succeed.<br>Program: Magisterutbildning i Fashion Management

Full textAbstract:
In the wake of globalization, an increasing amount of firms must consider internationalization strategies to remain competitive. The strategic decision of where to expand is complex by nature. This is particularly true for retailers, and despite this being generally accepted, relatively little is in fact known about retailers ́ choice of foreign markets. Hence, this study investigates international market selection (IMS) strategies of Swedish retailers with global operations. The purpose of this study is twofold; first, to explore which criteria Swedish retailers use upon making international market selection decisions and investigate the relative importance among these criteria. Second, to assess the possibilities of creating a weighted IMS model for retailers, which can be use as guidance for marketing practitioners. The research questions which will be answered are: How do Swedish international retailers select foreign markets? What are the possibilities of creating a weighted IMS model for retailers? The study embraces a qualitative strategy with an exploratory research approach and a multiple case study design. Through extensive literature review, a conceptual framework is constructed, and subsequently developed, post gaining insight in practitioners’ reasoning. The empirical data was gathered through interviews with managers of Swedish retailers with international presence, as well as strategy consultants who routinely work with strategy conformation for Swedish retailers. Our findings show that criteria which influence IMS decisions among Swedish retailers are quite similar among firms and can be arranged under three main categories; market attractiveness, psychic distance and internal factors. Moreover, as a result of the empirical findings, we suggest previous IMS research lack one important factor which influences the IMS decisions, namely “gut-feeling”/coincidence. The relative importance among factors proved to vary among firms. Consequently, four concepts aiming at explaining the variations were developed. The four concepts include firm size, firm objective, industry of the firm, and ownership structure. Finally, with support from respondents, we arrived at a conclusion suggesting that construction of a weighted IMS model for all types of retailers is unfeasible. However, if the scope is limited to only include firms of similar characteristics as proposed by the four concepts, such model could potentially yield solid validity.

Full textAbstract:
The fashion industry has become an industry with high attention, and in recent years Swedish fashion has become a strong name internationally. At the same time, it is a competitive industry where smaller fashion companies are competing with big clothing chains. For these actors it is important to internationalise and enter foreign markets to be able to grow. This requires resources and capital that many of the smaller fashion companies today is missing; market knowledge, export knowledge and commercial knowledge. This makes it interesting to see what factors are important for smaller Scandinavian fashion companies to succeed in establishing on the international market. The purpose of this dissertation is to evaluate and analyze conditions for three smaller Scandinavian fashion companies' internationalisation process. The study is based on case studies of these fashion companies. Theories have been chosen according to the background. These highlights the importance for companies to have knowledge of their market, and how internationalisation is a process of knowledge in which they learn something from each step. Furthermore, how companies in some cases follow a particular pattern and how the establishment can be done in specific steps. It may be important to develop relations with actors in their environment. By different theories, the authors have designed an assumption about what is important for the smaller fashion companies. In the dissertation we have found that the most significant and important factors are collaborations, available resources internally or externally, and to have knowledge of the market. The expansion of the business as a foreign establishment means that companies need to seek help outside their organization to succeed internationally.

Full textAbstract:
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make the backbone of virtually all economies but most of them are only marginally engaged with global markets, particularly those from developing countries. Our ability to advise these firms is currently limited for two major reasons: on the one hand, conventional International Business literature treats the firm as a black box and does not advance in decision-making dynamics that are critical to SMEs' foreign expansion; on the other, recent SME internationalization studies have achieved important progress but seem dependent on the use of Effectuation theory to represent the decisions that guide SME internationalization. This thesis focuses on closing this gap, developing a treatment of SME internationalization that focuses specifically on characterising internationalization-related decisions as being based on firms’ control of their own means, which allow them to proactively create opportunities and take advantage of contingencies (that is, the control principle). Empirically, this thesis builds on a quantitative research design based on survey data collected from 851 SMEs distributed in Brazil, China, Italy, Poland, and Sweden. Analyses of these data were performed with multiple regression equations and structural equation modelling using partial least squares. Results show that SMEs seem more inclined to adopt control-based decisions during internationalization when under uncertainties related to their business networks and when they come from emerging markets. They also reveal that the paths toward the realization of international market performance with control-based decisions seem to involve both firm-level and individual-level dynamics, with social networking playing a critical role. Finally, the findings collectively make it possible to draw a picture that clarifies the conceptualization of the control principle and hints on the multi-level nature of control-based internationalization. Despite limitations, such findings contribute to both International Business and International Entrepreneurship literatures while advancing extant understanding of the nature of the control principle and its role in SME internationalization.

Full textAbstract:
Market microstructure and imperfect information in macroeconomics both highlight the importance of private information in a rational expectations framework. This thesis draws on both sources to understand exchange rate forecasting errors. A theoretical model is developed showing that exchange rate forecasting errors depend on both forecast revisions as in the Woodford imperfect information model and order flow as in the Evans-Lyons simultaneous trade model. Empirically, the results were encouraging and the analysis concluded that apparently irrational forecast errors in the foreign exchange markets can be rationally explained by forecast revisions and order flow.

Full textAbstract:
The literature on retail internationalisation, particularly regarding emerging markets such as China, is underdeveloped and mostly descriptive. Until recently, China was not an open market, so very little external research has been conducted on it. Chinese culture and language remain relatively inaccessible for non-Chinese researchers. Models that apply to other markets may have little validity in the context of China - a unique collection of markets.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation consists of three essays, each of which studies a unique perspective of how Chinese firms participate in foreign markets.
The first essay investigates a government regulation that restricts the use of intermediaries linking domestic producers and foreign buyers. A model is developed to describe the matches between automakers and intermediaries. It shows that the regulation leads to market division, inefficiencies in matching, and double marginalization. The model predictions coincide with a number of stylized facts: a strong decline in the number of auto intermediaries, assortative matching, export price increases for intermediaries, and substantial churning in the sets of intermediaries registered by the automakers. Welfare analysis shows that this regulation benefits automakers while intermediaries are made worse off.
The second essay studies the sales allocation of Chinese exporters between domestic and foreign markets. The exports to domestic sales ratio is decreasing in firm productivity. Heterogeneous marketing cost elasticities are introduced in the model to rationalize this empirical phenomenon. A higher marketing cost elasticity domestically gives rise to a larger sales expansion in the home market as firm productivity increases. Empirical tests of the model predictions provide evidence to support the role of marketing costs and are inconsistent with alternative explanations related to variable markups and product quality.
The third essay examines the persistence of trade relationships from a historical point of view. It studies the effect of treaty linkages established between Chinese cities and foreign countries during the 19th century on China's trade today. Evidence shows that trade is higher among the group of countries and cities that were involved in treaty arrangements. These higher levels of trade may be due to complementary in industry structure and business knowledge developed in the treaty port era. An alternative explanation is that today's trade is due to the relatively high levels of development of the trading partners and is unrelated to treaty ports.<br>Business, Sauder School of<br>Strategy and Business Economics, Division of<br>Graduate

Previous issue date: 2014-10-28<br>With transnational corporations (TNCs) around the world today numbering over 60,000 and more than 800,000 affiliates working abroad, it is easy to understand how modern day international business could have transformed into a major global player serving at the axis of politics, social and environmental responsibility. Additionally, with accountability to a large variety of both public and private stakeholders, all exerting significant power and influence, today’s global corporate structure is reinventing modern international relations, and in some cases, dominating it. (Muldoon 2005) This transformative nature of globalization today can also serve as a source of friction among this growing chorus of players and is bringing irreversible change to these relationships and how they impact and influence business around the world. (Muldoon 2005) From the largest to the smallest international corporation seeking to expand into new international markets, the challenges that come with corporate ambition can mean the difference between success and failure and they find a home at the intersection of international relations, diplomacy and economics. To successfully navigate these challenges, especially in emerging economies, a company must now factor in more than just the 'bottom line' and address complex issues that include human rights differences, environmental regulations, labor rights and values of each country. (Henisz, 2014) Combined with modern-day mobility achieved through technology and the Internet, corporations today have a great capacity to reach targeted audiences and establish a presence, but it is this same technology that also allows for immediate response to any corporate action. This constant, 24-hour news cycle, where everyone is made to be a real-time reporter through social media, has created a situation that demonstrably necessitates the ability to not only 3 respond immediately, but also to have real-time understanding of the challenges faced by a corporation as it looks toward global expansion. International Business Diplomacy, or simply Business Diplomacy as it will be referred to in this paper, combines all of these nuanced factors into a relatively new discipline that offers companies looking to expand into new markets, guidelines and directives so that they can more strategically map corporate direction, limit risk and achieve their objectives. This paper will examine the history of diplomacy and how the concept of statecraft became intertwined with the increasing globalization of business. Following a scholarly examination of how modern Business Diplomacy came into being, and the unique challenges that come with its application, particularly the liabilities needed to be overcome, this paper will apply the concept to the Brazilian aerospace manufacturer Embraer, tracking its strategic emergence from a small, regionally focused aircraft producer to global leader in the regional and executive jet market platforms. It will then examine Embraer’s entrance into the Chinese market, where the company suffered from several missteps and eventually had to refocus its business model from commercial to executive jets. Finally, as globalization continues to 'emancipate international business from its institutional and social constraints,' (Muldoon 2005) this paper will address how the relatively new and emerging discipline of Business Diplomacy is continuing to mature and grow in stature and influence through the proposition of a new challenge or 'liability' that corporations must also overcome as they expand into new markets. Through the analysis of Embraer in China, this paper will introduce the Liability of Governance to the lexicon of Business Diplomacy and propose specific steps that a company can undertake to avoid it.

Expanding the work done by Bekiros and Marcellino [2013] to emerging markets will give a better understanding of the prediction power of artificial neural networks with a wavelet design. The finan- cial perspective discussed will be from an investor or traders view with possible strategies and policies. Investors who seek a better un- derstanding of future volatility or a trader that wishes to improve the prediction of returns can learn from our conclusions. Continu- ously improving prediction models is a difficult but rewarding task, especially considering the effort and resources already invested in the area. The investments in emerging markets have been on a de- cline the past years but still has the possibility to bloom into a more attractive choice.

Marumo, Kohei. "Expansion methods applied to distributions and risk measurement in financial markets." Queensland University of Technology, 2007. http://eprints.qut.edu.au/16506/.
Full textAbstract:
Obtaining the distribution of the profit and loss (PL) of a portfolio is a key problem in market risk measurement. However, existing methods, such as those based on the Normal distribution, and historical simulation methods, which use empirical distribution of risk factors, face difficulties in dealing with at least one of the following three problems: describing the distributional properties of risk factors appropriately (description problem); deriving distributions of risk factors with time horizon longer than one day (time aggregation problem); and deriving the distribution of the PL given the distributional properties of the risk factors (risk aggregation problem). Here, we show that expansion methods can provide reasonable solutions to all three problems. Expansion methods approximate a probability density function by a sum of orthogonal polynomials multiplied by an associated weight function. One of the most important advantages of expansion methods is that they only require moments of the target distribution up to some order to obtain an approximation. Therefore they have the potential to be applied in a wide range of situations, including in attempts to solve the three problems listed above. On the other hand, it is also known that expansions lack robustness: they often exhibit unignorable negative density and their approximation quality can be extremely poor. This limits applications of expansion methods in existing studies. In this thesis, we firstly develop techniques to provide robustness, with which expansion methods result in a practical approximation quality in a wider range of examples than investigated to date. Specifically, we investigate three techniques: standardisation, use of Laguerre expansion and optimisation. Standardisation applies expansion methods to a variable which is transformed so that its first and second moments are the same as those of the weight function. Use of Laguerre expansions applies those expansions to a risk factor so that heavy tails can be captured better. Optimisation considers expansions with coefficients of polynomials optimised so that the difference between the approximation and the target distribution is minimised with respect to mean integrated squared error. We show, by numerical examples using data sets of stock index returns and log differences of implied volatility, and GARCH models, that expansions with our techniques are more robust than conventional expansion methods. As such, marginal distributions of risk factors can be approximated by expansion methods. This solves a part of the description problem: the information on the marginal distributions of risk factors can be summarised by their moments. Then we show that the dependence structure among risk factors can be summarised in terms of their cross-moments. This solves the other part of the description problem. We also use the fact that moments of risk factors can be aggregated using their moments and cross-moments, to show that expansion methods can be applied to both the time and risk aggregation problems. Furthermore, we introduce expansion methods for multivariate distributions, which can also be used to approximate conditional expectations and copula densities by rational functions.

Full textAbstract:
Contrary to the long-received theory of FDI, interest rates or rates of return can motivate foreign direct investment (FDI) in concert with the benefits of direct ownership. Thus, access to investor capital and capital markets is a vital component of the multinational’s competitive market structure. Moreover, multinationals can use their superior financial capacity as a competitive advantage in exploiting FDI opportunities in dynamic markets. They can also mitigate higher levels of foreign business risks under dynamic conditions by shifting more financial risk to creditors in the host economy. Furthermore, the investor’s expectation of foreign business risk necessarily commands a risk premium for exposing their equity to foreign market risk. Multinationals can modify the profit maximization strategy of their foreign subsidiaries to maximize growth or profits to generate this risk premium. In this context, we investigate how foreign subsidiaries manage their capital funding, business risk, and profit strategies with a diverse sample of 8,000 matched parents and foreign subsidiary accounts from multiple industries in 38 countries.We find that interest rates, asset prices, and expectations in capital markets have a significant effect on the capital movements of foreign subsidiaries. We also find that foreign subsidiaries mitigate their exposure to foreign business risk by modifying their capital structure and debt maturity. Further, we show how the operating strategy of foreign subsidiaries affects their preference for growth or profit maximization. We further show that superior shareholder value, which is a vital link for access to capital for funding foreign expansion in open market economies, is achieved through maintaining stability in the rate of growth and good asset utilization.

En utilisant des données haute-fréquence inédites, cette thèse étudie trois types de regroupements (“clusters”) présents dans le marché des changes: la concentration d'ordres sur certains prix, la concentration des transactions dans le temps et l'existence de groupes d'investisseurs prenant les mêmes décisions. Nous commençons par étudier les propriétés statistiques du carnet d'ordres EBS pour les paires de devises EUR/USD et USD/JPY et l'impact d'une réduction de la taille du tick sur sa dynamique. Une grande part des ordres limites est encore placée sur les anciens prix autorisés, entraînant l'apparition de prix-barrières, où figurent les meilleures limites la plupart du temps. Cet effet de congestion se retrouve dans la forme moyenne du carnet où des pics sont présents aux distances entières. Nous montrons que cette concentration des prix est causée par les traders manuels qui se refusent d’utiliser la nouvelle résolution de prix. Les traders automatiques prennent facilement la priorité, en postant des ordres limites un tick devant les pics de volume.Nous soulevons ensuite la question de l'aptitude des processus de Hawkes à rendre compte de la dynamique du marché. Nous analysons la précision de tels processus à mesure que l'intervalle de calibration est augmenté. Différent noyaux construits à partir de sommes d'exponentielles sont systématiquement comparés. Le marché FX qui ne ferme jamais est particulièrement adapté pour notre but, car il permet d’éviter les complications dues à la fermeture nocturne des marchés actions. Nous trouvons que la modélisation est valide selon les trois tests statistiques, si un noyau à deux exponentielles est utilisé pour fitter une heure, et deux ou trois pour une journée complète. Sur de plus longues périodes la modélisation est systématiquement rejetée par les tests à cause de la non-stationnarité du processus endogène. Les échelles de temps d'auto-excitation estimées sont relativement courtes et le facteur d'endogénéité est élevé mais sous-critique autour de 0.8. La majorité des modèles à agents suppose implicitement que les agents interagissent à travers du prix des actifs et des volumes échangés. Certains utilisent explicitement un réseau d'interaction entre traders, sur lequel des rumeurs se propagent, d'autres, un réseau qui représente des groupes prenant des décisions communes. Contrairement à d'autres types de données, de tels réseaux, s'ils existent, sont nécessairement implicites, ce qui rend leur détection compliquée. Nous étudions les transactions des clients de deux fournisseur de liquidités sur plusieurs années. En supposant que les liens entre agents sont déterminés par la synchronisation de leur activité ou inactivité, nous montrons que des réseaux d'interactions existent. De plus, nous trouvons que l'activité de certains agents entraîne systématiquement l’activité d'autres agents, définissant ainsi des relations de type “lead-lag” entre les agents. Cela implique que le flux des clients est prévisible, ce que nous vérifions à l'aide d'une méthode sophistiquée d'apprentissage statistique<br>The aim of this thesis is to study three types of clustering in foreign exchange markets, namely in price, trades arrivals and investors decisions. We investigate the statistical properties of the EBS order book for the EUR/USD and USD/JPY currency pairs and the impact of a ten-fold tick size reduction on its dynamics. A large fraction of limit orders are still placed right at or halfway between the old allowed prices. This generates price barriers where the best quotes lie for much of the time, which causes the emergence of distinct peaks in the average shape of the book at round distances. Furthermore, we argue that this clustering is mainly due to manual traders who remained set to the old price resolution. Automatic traders easily take price priority by submitting limit orders one tick ahead of clusters, as shown by the prominence of buy (sell) limit orders posted with rightmost digit one (nine).The clustering of trades arrivals is well-known in financial markets and Hawkes processes are particularly suited to describe this phenomenon. We raise the question of what part of market dynamics Hawkes processes are able to account for exactly. We document the accuracy of such processes as one varies the time interval of calibration and compare the performance of various types of kernels made up of sums of exponentials. Because of their around-the-clock opening times, FX markets are ideally suited to our aim as they allow us to avoid the complications of the long daily overnight closures of equity markets. One can achieve statistical significance according to three simultaneous tests provided that one uses kernels with two exponentials for fitting an hour at a time, and two or three exponentials for full days, while longer periods could not be fitted within statistical satisfaction because of the non-stationarity of the endogenous process. Fitted timescales are relatively short and endogeneity factor is high but sub-critical at about 0.8.Most agent-based models of financial markets implicitly assume that the agents interact through asset prices and exchanged volumes. Some of them add an explicit trader-trader interaction network on which rumors propagate or that encode groups that take common decisions. Contrarily to other types of data, such networks, if they exist, are necessarily implicit, which makes their determination a more challenging task. We analyze transaction data of all the clients of two liquidity providers, encompassing several years of trading. By assuming that the links between agents are determined by systematic simultaneous activity or inactivity, we show that interaction networks do exist. In addition, we find that the (in)activity of some agents systematically triggers the (in)activity of other traders, defining lead-lag relationships between the agents. This implies that the global investment flux is predictable, which we check by using sophisticated machine learning methods

Through sports, cities can reach fans from all different walks of life to rally together and support a competitive cause. Each city’s fan base is distinct—with their individual personalities being reflective of the culture and environment of the home city. The intent of this paper is to study the effect of multiple on and off field factors as they relate to attendance across three major professional sports in city markets. This will determine which city markets have the strongest, or weakest, overall fan bases. Ultimately, this study will end with an educated recommendation for professional sports franchise relocation or a league expansion.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a decade of financial deregulation on stock markets in term of market integration within Asia-Pacific countries. It investigates the existence of inter-relationships between five emerging and two developed stock markets in the region. Then, it examines the 'causal' relationships between each market and its country's economic fundamentals. The study is comprised of three major sections of empirical analysis: In the first section, three tests, correlation coefficients, unit root tests, and cointegration tests, are used to examine the short-term as well as long-term changes in the co-movement patterns of Asia-Pacific stock markets before and after financial deregulation. The second section employs VAR model to estimate and analyze the dynamic interdependencies among Asia-Pacific stock markets and trace out the effects of shocks to those markets. It also examines whether there is one or more dominant or particularly influential market within the region. Finally, the third section investigates the existence of interactions between stock returns and domestic economic fundamentals by applying causality tests. It focuses on the predictive content of historical information of stock returns in explaining economic variables, and hence, it tests whether the economic variables do or do not Granger-cause stock returns, and vice versa. The study provides a number of interesting and important results which can help us to understand the nature of stock market integration as well as evolution of financial integration in this increasingly important region. The study suggests that financial liberalization has enhanced the inter-relationships among Asia-Pacific stock markets, and that therefore high capital controls account for instances of low interactions. The study shows that the effects of a shock to stock markets are completed within two days, indicating that stock markets adjust quickly, but not instantaneously, to all relevant information in the region. The study also finds that Japan and Hong Kong are the most influential markets in terms of their effects on other markets in the region. Moreover, the result of the absence of cointegration may simply rule out the existence of a long- run equilibrium tending relationship, but does not invalidate any short-run relationships which may arise due to profit-seeking opportunities in transactions. Furthermore, examining the 'causal' relationships between a stock market and economic fundamentals shows that the exchange rate and the corporate bond rate are the only two out of several factors tested that are 'causal' of stock returns in many markets in the Asia-Pacific region. In short, the results are consistent with the view that stock returns only respond to monetary variables. Hence, one possible implication is that most of the indicators of macroeconomic fundamentals in the Asia-Pacific region are not the predictors of stock returns and that information captured in a stock market does not reflect changes in its country's macroeconomic fundamentals.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines the stock and foreign exchange markets of a group of Pacific Basin countries. The main purpose is to investigate the role of foreign ownership restrictions and taxes on potential linkages between these markets, and their interrelations with the rest of the world. The overall analysis highlights the presence of substantial financial links at the regional and global level. In particular, it shows close financial links even for markets with extensive capital controls. It also finds linkages between their stock and foreign exchange markets and that foreign currency risk is a significant component of domestic stock returns. When examining for potential sources of these close financial links, the research indicates that Country Funds have provided indirect ways of foreign participation in the local stock markets and contributed to these financial links. Furthermore, the thesis also emphasised the role of economic integration. of the Pacific Basin countries for their financial integration. The study found that the Asian financial crisis of mid 1997 had some effects on the financial links of the Pacific Basin Rim at the regional and global level. In addition, while the turmoil has increased the economic integration at the regional level, it has reduced economic integration with the U. S. However, the thesis shows that neither Japan, nor the U. S., dominates the Pacific Basin Rim. Some countries, such as Thailand, present closer links with the U. S., and others, such as Korea and Taiwan, with Japan. The evidence provided in the thesis has implications for international portfolio diversification and for the use of foreign exchange restrictions to isolate local capital markets from world market influences.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Peter Ireland<br>The literature on real business cycles finds that one reason why emerging economies are more volatile than developed small open economies is that they face greater financial frictions. Indeed, according to several measures of financial depth and access, financial systems in emerging countries are on average less developed than those in developed small open economies. Despite the lag in financial development, private credit, particularly unsecured credit to households, has been steadily increasing during the last two decades in emerging countries in Latin America. During this period of rising credit, various countries in the region observed an increase in the size of their middle income class population and the emergence of the vendor financing channel in their consumption credit market. Estimates by the World Bank suggest that the share of middle class households increased from 20.9 % in 1995 to 40.7 % in 2010. In addition, the share of poor households was approximately halved and reached 23.4 % at the end of this 15 year period. This phenomenon not only increased credit demand but also motivated the entry of new suppliers in the consumer credit market in countries like Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Brazil. In spite of a significant decline in unemployment in recent years, the lack of formal employment and poor credit history were still impeding many individuals from gaining access to consumer finance from traditional financial institutions. In order to enable new middle class shoppers access items typically offered by large retail stores, the retailers themselves started offering credit. In this dissertation, I study the relationship between middle class size, unsecured credit markets and aggregate consumption volatility in emerging countries. In the first chapter of this thesis, we examine the link between middle class size and consumption growth volatility using a sample of middle income countries. In the second chapter, we study the effect of an expansion of the middle class on vendor financing incentives and unsecured credit supply on its extensive margin. In the third chapter, I study business cycle implications of a reduction in the share of financially excluded households in an emerging economy. In the first chapter, I empirically examine the effect of middle income class size on consumption growth volatility in emerging countries. Using a panel data of middle income countries, I find that a larger middle class size tends to increase aggregate consumption growth volatility, particularly at lower levels of financial system depth. Financial development plays a significant role in determining the sign of the marginal effect of middle class size on aggregate volatility. Unlike emerging countries, the effect of the size of the middle class and the role of financial development on consumption volatility in developed countries is ambiguous. The key message of this analysis is that as more households escape poverty thresholds and reach the middle income class status in developing and emerging economies, it becomes more important to deepen financial systems from the perspective of aggregate consumption volatility. In the second chapter, I explore through the lens of a theoretical model, potential reasons triggering an increase in credit supplied by the non traditional financial sector, i.e vendors, at the extensive margin. I find that a reduction in the average risk of default and an increase in the market size of credit customers raise vendor financing incentives. This model rationalizes the observation that the improvement of economic conditions of the low-income and financially constrained households potentially led to increased credit supply by vendors in several countries of Latin America. In the third chapter, I study business cycle implications of a decline in household financial exclusion in a dynamic general equilibrium model suitable for emerging economies. Using Mexico as a case study, I estimate the model with Bayesian methods for the period 1995 to 2014. Standard measures of predictive accuracy suggest that the extended business cycle model with limited credit market participation outperforms a model with zero financial exclusion. The results of the estimation suggest that a rise in credit market participation in an emerging economy increases aggregate volatility of key macroeconomic aggregates, and that financial frictions play a key role in this relationship. I confirm this prediction by re-estimating the model for Mexico after splitting the sample into two non- overlapping decades. A key implication derived in this chapter is that a reduction of financial exclusion within an emerging country may lead to higher consumption growth volatility and trade balance volatility, and that fewer financial frictions dampen the marginal effect. As household financial access increases in these countries, a greater need for improving broad financial development measures arises

Abstract Title: Emerging Markets – A Case Study in Foreign Market Entry toBangladesh Keywords: emerging market, entry strategy, market entry, factors behind entry choice, entry mode, entry node, entry timing Background: Internationalism and international marketing are hot topics among the strategy discussions of the companies and as a result companies continuously look for new, unreached sales potential to their products and services as well as better use of their resources. Purpose: To find the most efficient international market entry strategy for companies moving from developed/transition economy to an emerging market. Theoretical framework: The base for the start of internationalisation process is company’s inner motives and resources. Motives and resources combined with the cultural distance, competition and general external environment of host country form potential company-specific risks for the entry to foreign market. Potential customers in combination with company resources shows how big is the match between market demand and what company can offer and therefore determines the potential reward. Risks and reward are both input to the decision making process where the potential benefits and drawbacks are analysed against each other. The output of this decision making is the entry strategy. Methodology: Internet was mainly used to collect secondary data about company resources, cultural distance and external environment. Interviews with 150 retailers inBangladesh were conducted to collect primary data about the competition and consumer behaviours in the hosiery market ofBangladesh. Then comparative analysis was made based on the model developed by the authors to reach to the decision. Conclusion: The most effective entry strategy for the entry to emerging markets is indirect exporting through an agent in case there is high location risk, moderately high competition risk, medium country risk and moderately low demand risk, the company has no surplus finances for big investments and no prior experience in doing business in an emerging market.

[Truncated abstract] Given the theoretical and historical evidence that support the benefit of investing internationally. there is Iittle knowledge available of proper international portfolio construction in terms of how much should be invested in foreign countries, which countries should be targeted, and types of assets to be included in the portfolio. The prospects of these benefits depend on the market volatilities, cross-country correlations, and currency risks to change in the future. Another important issue in international portfolio diversification is the growth of newly emerging markets which have different characteristics from the developed ones. Addressing the issues, the thesis intends to investigate the nature of volatility, conditional correlations, and the impact of currency risks in international portfolio, both in developed and emerging markets. Chapter 2 provides literature review on volatility spillovers, conditional correlations, and forecasting both VaR and conditional correlations using GARCH-type models. Attention is made on the estimated models, type of assets, regions of markets, and tests of forecasts. Chapter 3 investigates the nature of volatility spillovers across intemational assets, which is important in determining the nature of portfolio's volatility when most assets are seems to be connected. ... The impacts of incorporating volatility spillovers and asymmetric effect on the forecast performance of conditional correlation will also be examined in this thesis. The VARMA-AGARCH of McAleer, Hoti and Chan (2008) and the VARMA-GARCH model of Ling and McAleer (2003) will be estimated to accommodate volatility spillovers and asymmetric effect. The CCC model of Bollerslev (1990) will also be estimated as benchmark as the model does not incorporate both volatility spillovers and asymmetric effects. Given the information about the nature of conditional correlations resulted from the forecasts using a rolling window technique, Section 2 of Chapter 4 investigates the nature of conditional correlations by estimating two multivariate GARCH models allowing for time-varying conditional correlations, namely the DCC model of Engle (2002) and the GARCC model of McAleer et al. (2008). Chapter 5 conducts VaR forecast considering the important role of VaR as a standard tool for risk management. Especially, the chapter investigates whether volatility spillovers and time-varying conditional correlations discussed in the previous two chapters are of helps in providing better VaR forecasts. The BEKK model of Engle and Kroner (1995) and the DCC model of Engle (2002) will be estimated to incorporate volatility spillovers and conditional correlations, respectively. The DVEC model of Bollerslev et al. (1998) and the CCC model of Bollerslev (1990) will be estimated to serve benchmarks, as both models do not incorporate both volatility spillovers and timevarying conditional correlations. Chapter 6 concludes the thesis and lists somc possible future research.

碩士<br>元智大學<br>管理碩士在職專班<br>106<br>As of October 2006, according to constitutional law No. 617, Taiwan deems that Adult publications and content are to be divided into two categories: “hard-core” and “soft-core”. The latter category is protected by Taiwanese law. Demand in the Adult Video market domestically had begun experiencing an upward boom over the last few years and is considered a profitable market. As such, regulating the copyright of content is of utmost importance. Moreover, JAV (Japanese Adult Video) content has traditionally been held in high regard within the Taiwanese AV industry.
In May 2011, Japan’s leading Adult Video Production Group, Beidu Group, brought together 210 film distributors and established the Intellectual Property Promotion Association (IPPA) to serve as a single point of contact to counter piracy. Likewise, simultaneously entering the Taiwanese market to tackle the same issue domestically through mass scale litigation in violation of copyrights.
This thesis applies litigation strategy implemented in the Japanese AV industry to form the basis of the initial strategic step to combating violation of copyrights in the Taiwanese AV DVD market. Furthermore, it will also discuss establishing collaboration and building dialogue amongst local companies to jointly confront and overcome external challenges faced within the industry.
Firstly, a case study featuring multiple in-depth interviews will be discussed to illustrate the current status quo of the Taiwanese AV DVD market conditions. Subsequently, it will examine and provide an analysis whether harnessing litigation strategies utilized in the JAV industry for the Taiwanese AV DVD market is a viable and robust market entry strategy. To conclude, this thesis will provide closing commentary on the forthcoming outlook of the local industry, whilst present feasible recommendations toward the future state of the Taiwanese AV DVD market.

Full textAbstract:
As part of the world’s globalisation process over the past decade, more and more companies are expanding to foreign countries, including an increasing number of new ventures. These companies then face the important strategic decisions regarding the foreign market and the entry mode strategy. Especially the entry mode choice has many criteria that need to be considered, such as the entry modes’ levels of resource commitment, risk and control, the company’s and industry’s characteristics, as well as the decision-maker’s preferences. Concerning new ventures, their limited personnel and financial resources and sensitivity towards external influences are further characteristics to consider.
This dissertation aims to illustrate and analyse the difficulties that especially new ventures face when expanding to foreign countries and will apply this knowledge to the real-life case example of the Exporo AG. The company is a digital real estate investment venture based in Hamburg, Germany, which chose to expand to France as part of their growth strategy. When the decision for the best entry mode strategy needed to be made, some tension between the three founders arose, as all three put their emphasis on different characteristics.
Related to this case study and the current relevant literature, a teaching note is formulated, which provides the framework for a coherent class concept with instructive class discussions.<br>Como parte do processo de globalização verificado ao longo da última década, uns números crescentes de empresas procuram crescer através do alargamento das suas operações a países estrangeiros, nomeadamente também as strat-ups. Nestas decisões as empresas enfrentam importantes decisões estratégicas em relação ao mercado externo e à estratégia de modo de entrada. A escolha do modo de entrada tem muitos critérios que precisam ser considerados. No que diz respeito a novos empreendimentos, os recursos escassos, de recursos humanos e financeiros, e a sensibilidade para influências externas são outras características a serem consideradas.
Esta dissertação tem como objetivo ilustrar e analisar as dificuldades que os novas empresas enfrentam na sua expansão internacional utilizando a empresa alemã Exporo como aplicação real desta problemática. A Exporo permite investir digitalmente em imobiliário e está sediada em Hamburgo, na Alemanha. Após grande expansão no mercado doméstico opta por se expandir para a França como parte de sua estratégia de crescimento. A decisão pela melhor estratégia de modo de entrada gera tensão entre os três fundadores, já que todos os três enfatizavam características diferentes.
