Frontiers in Finance
March 2008 | PDF | 48 pages | English
The financial services sector has been much in the news recently and the news has not been good. Within the space of a few months, we have seen the onset of a severe credit crunch, a liquidity crisis at Northern Rock leading to a run on the bank and Société Générale revealing it has lost 4.9 billion ($7.1billion; £3.7 billion) closing out massive unauthorized trades placed by a rogue employee. Some respected commentators are speculating about the onset of a global recession.
This edition of frontiers in finance is primarily focused on retail banking, but touches on all of these themes. While it is impossible and foolhardy to predict in detail how the credit crunch will play out, some general implications can be foreseen. And the rest of 2008 looks certain to be a bumpy ride.
On the other side of an increasingly-connected globe, Chinas capital markets continue to expand. The sheer size of the sums of money involved means that the country is already a significant force. The authorities are steadily liberalizing Chinas exchanges. Stock market capitalization has risen ten-fold in just 2.5 years. Bond and derivative markets are less well-developed as yet. But unless there is a dramatic policy U-turn by the government, these are likely to follow suit.

KPMG - The video games market in China: Moving Online
2007 | PDF | English | 32 pages | 1.2 MB
The video games industry generates several billion dollars of revenue each year in Asia Pacific alone. Now, the development of online game play has the potential to drive even more dramatic expansion in the media and entertainment market. Video game companies are developing an everwider range of products that reach beyond the traditional teenage and twenty-something demographic. Video games are also integrating with mobile and social networking technologies.
China has emerged as one of the key markets in Asia Pacific and is increasingly playing a role in content development. It has recently seen some notable listings of software and video games companies on international and domestic stock markets.
We believe this report comes at a timely moment in the evolution of the video games industry. The jury is still out as far as evaluating the success of some of the business models and their ability to secure the revenue streams that will sustain the industrys future growth.

This grandfather of all people-skills books was first published in 1937. It was an overnight hit, eventually selling 15 million copies. How to Win Friends and Influence People is just as useful today as it was when it was first published, because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated. Financial success, Carnegie believed, is due 15 percent to professional knowledge and 85 percent to "the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people." He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated. He also emphasizes fundamental techniques for handling people without making them feel manipulated. Carnegie says you can make someone want to do what you want them to by seeing the situation from the other person's point of view and "arousing in the other person an eager want." You learn how to make people like you, win people over to your way of thinking, and change people without causing offense or arousing resentment. For instance, "let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers," and "talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person." Carnegie illustrates his points with anecdotes of historical figures, leaders of the business world, and everyday folks. --Joan Price --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.
