Ebook Outsourcing in times of crisis: how external relationships deliver real business results

Submitted by puput on Fri, 09/04/2009 - 01:51

With a deep and widening economic recession well underway, few industries or corners of the globe are likely to be spared its long reaching consequences. But turbulent times can be and very often are catalysts for great change for businesses: opportunities to capture new customers (as competitors’ weaknesses are revealed and exploited), develop new products and services (to meet customers’ evolving needs), preserve brand loyalty, and gather critical data to help predict and preempt future disasters.

Ironically, the very programs and funding earmarked to drive these kinds of changes are often the first thing to go in a struggling economy. Rather than invest in the change, and the unknowns that go along with it, many executives are inclined to sit still and wait for better times. Others are looking to move forward and are taking a renewed interest in outsourcing as a means of achieving immediate cost efficiencies, but also in helping them address more strategic business objectives.

PDF Ebook Corporate Hedging for Foreign Exchange Risk in India

Submitted by antoq on Fri, 08/14/2009 - 01:35

In 1971, the Bretton Woods system of administering fixed foreign exchange rates was abolished in favour of market-determination of foreign exchange rates; a regime of fluctuating exchange rates was introduced. Besides market-determined fluctuations, there was a lot of volatility in other markets around the world owing to increased inflation and the oil shock. Corporates struggled to cope with the uncertainty in profits, cash flows and future costs. It was then that financial derivatives – foreign currency, interest rate, and commodity derivatives emerged as means of managing risks facing corporations.

In India, exchange rates were deregulated and were allowed to be determined by markets in 1993. The economic liberalization of the early nineties facilitated the introduction of derivatives based on interest rates and foreign exchange. However derivative use is still a highly regulated area due to the partial convertibility of the rupee. Currently forwards, swaps and options are available in India and the use of foreign currency derivatives is permitted for hedging purposes only.

Ebook Diabetes In Nunavut

Submitted by wulan on Sat, 08/08/2009 - 02:58

This report provides an overview of Type 2 Diabetes in Nunavut for the period of 1997- 2002 as well as some supplementary information on diabetes that may be of assistance to the population health program staff.

In the past various approaches, including sample surveys have been used in order to obtain population-based estimates of the incidence and prevalence of diabetes. For this report, we have used comprehensive administrative health data to create a population-based database of cases of clinically diagnosed diabetes. There are limitations to this approach as these data rely on the diagnostic reporting of many physicians and community health nurses and clinical precision cannot be assured. It is possible that different diagnostic criteria are being used across the territory.
