This thesis develops a preliminary profile for entrepreneurs in order to determine which factors influence the decision to opt for entrepreneurship, and whether they vary across selected countries. The model takes perceptual factors into account, in addition to the traditional demographic variables which dominate the literature. A pooled dataset of 69 countries - surveyed in 2010 and 2011 by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) — is utilized, with similar sets of economies classified as being either factor-driven, efficiency—driven or innovation—driven. The data is analyzed in several stages: first, a probit model is run on the entire dataset, referred to as the “global sample". Then, similar results are estimated on a sample consisting of observations from Pakistani respondents only, referred to as the "Pakistan sub-sample", and Bangladeshi respondents only , referred to as the “Bangladesh sub-sample". The results are also extended to the grouping of factor- driven economies - which are at similar stages of economic development — referred to as the "factor-driven sub-sample“. A comparative table juxtaposes choices concerning entrepreneurship in Pakistan, neighboring Bangladesh, factor-driven economies and the world in general. The results indicate that, globally, there is a quadratic (non-linear) relationship between age and entrepreneurial inclination, women are on average less likely to pursue entrepreneurship than men, and individuals who are already doing paid work are likelier candidates to turn entrepreneur. Among the perceptual variables, three variables — opportunity awareness. personally knowing an entrepreneur, and self-confidence in one‘s own knowledge, skills and abilities — increase the likelihood of a person turning entrepreneur, whereas the fear of failure reduces this probability. By comparison, for Pakistan, factors like age and gender have less importance, whereas perceptual variables like personally knowing an entrepreneur and self-confidence are correlated with the decision to pursue entrepreneurship

عوامی سوٹ شلوار قمیض

چئیر مین ذوالفقار علی بھٹو شہید سے پہلے شلوار قمیض کو آپ کسی بڑے ہوٹل اور مخصوص کلبوں میں پہن کر نہیں جا سکتے تھے وہاں صرف سوٹ پہن کر ہی جا یا سکتا تھا ۔مجھے یاد ہے کہ 1989ء پرل کانٹی نینٹل ہوٹل میں پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی کی کوئی تقریب تھی وہاں جب ہم پہنچے تو پارٹی کارکنان میں پیلز لیبر بیورو کے مزدور رہنمائوں اور کارکنوں کی بھی خاصی تعداد تھی جو پرانے کپڑوں میں بیٹھے ہوئے تھے ۔تو میں نے دوستوں سے کہا یہ پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی کا خاصہ ہے کہ یہاں آپ سوٹڈ بوٹڈ لوگ ہی نہیں عام کپڑے پہنے مزدور بھی نظر آئیں گے اور ان کو وہی عزت و وقار ملتا ہے جو ایک تھری پیس پہنے شخص کو عزت ۔انہیں چئیر مین ذوالفقار علی بھٹو شہید نے دی ۔چند دن پہلے پورٹ قاسم کراچی میں پیلز لیبر بیورو کی لیبر یونین کی جیتنے کی خبر سنی تو ایسا لگا کہ کسی قومی اسمبلی کی بڑی سیٹ سے معرکہ سر ہوا ہے کہ پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی بنیادی طور پر مزدوروں کسانوں پسے ہوئے طبقات کی جماعت ہے ۔

 

 

Theoretical Study of Indian Banking System

Banks play a significant part in India's financial system and contribute to economic growth. The banking industry is the foundation of every contemporary economy. It is one of the most significant foundations of the financial industry and plays a crucial role in economic performance. It is crucial for the growth of the nation's economy that financial demands be met; industry and agriculture demonstrate the greatest degree of dedication and accountability. Therefore, the growth of the nation is intimately tied to the growth of banks. Banks should not be seen as money changers in the contemporary economy, but as development leaders. In several economic sectors, they serve a crucial role in aggregating deposits and debt payments. The financial system reflects the country's economic life. Economic vitality is contingent upon the stability and efficacy of the financial system, which in turn is contingent upon a solid and sustainable banking system. A solid banking system that integrates deposits into productive sectors and a melting bank system allow the bank to fulfill its duties to investors. After India's independence, banks play a significant part in the country's social and economic growth. India is dominated by the banking industry, which accounts for more than half of the financial sector's assets. The Indian banking sector has seen a remarkable transformation due to the reforms of the financial industry, which are implemented in phases. In this context, the researcher has conducted an overview analysis of the Indian Banking System, resulting in the current paper.

Ceo and Executive Compensation, Ownership Concentration and its Effect on Firm Performance

The study aimed to explore the impact of executive compensation and ownership concentration on firm performance. For this purpose relevant part of 524 annual reports of companies listed on KSE 100 are examine during the period from 2008 to 2014. The regulatory framework (the Companies Ordinance 1984 and Code of Corporate Governance 2002) is very well articulated and covering all aspect of compensation and ownership concentration but the compliance of the law is not significant in Pakistan. Since many SROs are required to maintained functional website having information regarding company profile, Governance, investor relationship, media, election of directors, statement of compliance and financial statement. I am unable to access functional website of at least 15% of targeted sample (KSE 100 index). Since majority of the companies in Pakistan are family centered that lead to ownership centering and these family owned companies are performing well therefore the owners does not open the slot for individual/institutional investors to avoid hostile takeover. CEO dominance is high under such conditions since the probability is higher that CEO is the owner of the company and he/she has the major role in BOD selection. This dominating position empowers him/her to restrict the monitoring role of the BOD and directors forced to ratify management decisions. CEO uses the same influence for setting up the compensation of top executives. This study also confirms that compensation has the positive relationship with firm performance where majority shareholding is with institutional investor but the same relationship become negative if ownership changes to non-institutional investors. Companies having financial business are subject to multiple legal / regulatory reviews in Pakistan. Studyreveals that legal regulation has impact on this relationship since I have observe that top executive compensation relationship with the firm performance is insignificant in companies having financial business in the comparison to the companies involve in non-financial business where I found some relationship between top executive compensation and firm performance. Ownership structure in Pakistan also has the impact on relationship between ownership concentration and firm performance. Study observes the negative relationship between ownership concentration (represent by capital owned by top five shareholders) and firm performance. Market as whole observed an approximate reduction of .033% in AROA by Increase of 1% in ownership concentration. Institutional investors have external exposure and experience to manage companies therefore their ability to produce good results are higher. Study confirmed that ownership concentration have the positive relationship with firm performance where majority of the shareholding is with institutional investor but the same relationship become negative if ownership changes to non-institutional investors. It noted that results of above mention variables are varying in different sectors. Impact of executive compensation and ownership concentration on firm performance is high in sectors like Services, Cement, Chemical, Fertilizer, Oil and Gas and other industry while sectors like Banks, Food, Power Generation and Distribution have limited impact and no impact have been noted in Non-banking Finance Companies and Textile.
