Theory predicts that market‐timing activities bias Jensen's alpha (JA). However, empirical studies have failed to find consistent evidence of this bias. We tackle this puzzle in a nested model analysis and show that the bias contains an exogenous market component that is unrelated to market‐timing skill. In a comprehensive empirical analysis of US mutual funds, we find that the timing‐induced bias in JA is mainly driven by this market component, which is uncorrelated with measured timing activities. Measures of total performance that allow for timing activities are virtually identical to JA, even if timing activities are present in the evaluated fund. Hence, we conclude that JA is a sufficient measure of total performance.
There is no denying that organizations, whether domestic or global, whether educational, governmental, or business, are undergoing rapid transformation. However, what is causing it? Prompted by the need to remain relevant and competitive, organizations constantly try to reinvent themselves. Those that do not, according to the laws of economics, will simply serve no purpose and will eventually cease to exist. Regardless of sector or industry, an organization's success pivots around its human talent. Hence, it is crucial to manage it and cultivate certain traits, knowledge, and skills. In today's global economy, organizations are more interconnected than ever before and thus the challenges they face require that employees possess not only expert knowledge, problem-solving, cross-cultural, and cross-functional teaming skills, but also good communications skills and agile thinking.
Many researchers have explored the phenomenon of intercultural communication since Edward T. Hall first brought it to light in the late 1950s. Although the literature is quite extensive, the ongoing sociopolitical struggles are evidence that even in the twenty-first century, society has limited intercultural as well as intracultural communication competence. This limited understanding continues to bring about discord in every facet of life, including work.
The modern workforce is expected to possess certain knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are inherently different from those expected from previous generations. Due to globalization, intercultural competence and highly effective communication skills are at the top of the list - a working knowledge of English as the lingua franca of today's business world can be considered as a first step.
The use of gamification in workplace learning to encourage employee motivation and engagement
(2019)
When we think about playing a game, be it a card game, board game, sport, or video game, we generally associate the act of playing with a positive experience like having fun, enjoying the interaction with others, or feeling a greater motivation to reach a certain goal. By contrast, workplace learning is often perceived as being dull. Employees are likely at some point in their career to find themselves stuck in a rigidly defined seminar for a long period of time or in front of their computer navigating through a mandatory e-learning course on a dry topic such as standards of business conduct of safety policies.
In recent years, organizations have tried to leverage the motivating quality of games for more serious learning contexts. Gamification entails transferring those elements and principles from games to nongaming context that improve user experience and engagement. In this chapter, we will specifically focus on the context of workplace learning.
Relocation of production to countries with low labour costs has induced increased labour market flexibility, which has been praised as a silver bullet for economic growth and low unemployment. Within a unionised oligopoly framework, in which a multinational firm has the option to relocate its production to a foreign country, we analyse the welfare implications of both centralised and flexible wage-setting regimes. For very low foreign wages, wage flexibility leads to higher welfare than a rigid centralised regime. In contrast, for ‘intermediate’ wage levels in the foreign country, an industry-wide uniform wage leads to higher social welfare than flexible wages.
Management and cost accounting has been the basic toolbox in business administration for decades. Today it is an integral part of all curricula in business education and no student can afford not to be familiar with its basic concepts and instruments. At the same time, business in general, and management accounting in particular, is becoming more and more international. English clearly has evolved as the „lingua franca“ of international business. Academics, students as well as practitioners exchange their views and ideas, discuss concepts and communicate with each other in English. This is certainly also true for cost accounting and management accounting.
BWL Basiswissen
(2010)
Fundierte Entscheidungen im Unternehmen verlangen ein solides BWL-Wissen - egal ob im Marketing, im Controlling, in der Finanzplanung, im Personalwesen oder im strategischen Management. Doch nicht jeder Praktiker im Unternehmen besitzt diese Kenntnisse. Professor Dr. Ottmar Schneck hat alle wichtigen Aspekte zusammengefasst: von den klassischen Themen des Managements über die Geschichte und die Entwicklung der Betriebswirtschaftslehre bis hin zu den aktuellen Ansätzen der modernen BWL. Die Inhalte sind systematisch und praxisnah dargestellt - Übersichten, Fallbeispiele, kurze Zusammenfassungen und Übungen am Ende jedes Kapitels erleichtern die Wissensaneignung.
Das Erkennen und Steuern von Risiken wird in einem turbulenten und dynamischen Umfeld von Unternehmen immer wichtiger. Neue Regularien wie Basel II, Solvency II und vor allem die aktuellen Reglementierungen vieler Staaten aufgrund der aktuellen Finanzmarktkrise führen zu einem verstärkten Einsatz von Instrumenten des Risikomanagements auch außerhalb von Banken und Versicherungen. Die Kenntnis der rechtlichen Vorgaben (Basel II, DRS, SolvV und MaRisk), der risikotheoretischen Grundlagen und deren Mess- und Frühwarnmethoden (Szenario, Delphi) ist für Unternehmen aus diesem Grund weiterhin eminent wichtig.Über die Grundlagen des Risikomanagements hin zu Risikocontrolling und -steuerung (d.h. der Identifikation und Messung von Risiken) beschäftigt sich dieser Praxisleitfaden zum Risikomanagement darüber hinaus auch mit dem Thema Risikovorsorge und -abwälzung durch Derivate, das für die Planung eines Risikomanagements im Unternehmen von enormer Bedeutung ist. Abschließend wird ein Fallbeispiel einer erfolgreichen Risikomanagement-Implementierung betrachtet. Schritt für Schritt soll damit nicht nur die konkrete Implementierung demonstriert sondern darüber hinaus gezeigt werden, dass solch eine Einführung möglich und sinnvoll ist.
