The capital markets have a function of economics because capital markets provide a facility or vehicle which brings together two interests, namely those who have excess funds and those who need funds.

The model used to investigate the applicability and usefulness of VaR in stock investment in Indonesia Manufacturing companies. Using the methodologies as described, the maximum potential loss on each stock and its portfolio of nine stocks calculated at 95% confidence level. The models were validated using back testing and Kupiec test. The research found that there are different results of VaR calculated using variance covariance, historical simulation, and Monte Carlo models. However, variance covariance model is the valid one to measure the maximum potential loss of stocks.

Abstract

The need for developing empathy skills in the workplace continues to challenge organisations today. Findings from earlier research highlighted the need for developing these empathy skills. Interviews were undertaken in early 2017 with a mix of empathy trainers and managers of organisations where empathy is signalled as a key skill. The purpose of the inquiry was to explore their perspectives of empathy so as to discover emerging themes that increase our understanding of empathy in the workplace, elucidate optimal ways for developing one’s empathy and for reducing or mitigating empathy burnout. Challenges that emerged from the findings were: maintaining empathy across professional and personal environments; generally participants found they had energy for one of other, not both; caring too much; having time to empathise; managing expectations; professional boundaries; empathy equality i.e. to victim and offender; communicating empathy, and desensitisation. This paper explores these challenges. Four themes emerged from the findings: interpretations of empathy, context; including theory of mind, empathy burnout, and strategies for developing empathy. These themes informed the development of a Flow Model of Empathy.

Abstract

Studies on topic such as loan repayment at microfinance institutions are increasingly interesting due to the slumped current global economic condition and the many occurrences of bad debts. Various ways found by the researchers to increase loan repayment. Those ways are, for example, monitoring, mentoring, training, and economic approach. The research is different to previous research in terms of approach used, which is by linking harmonious culture to the loan repayment rate. The research aims to analyze the relationship between entrepreneurship training and harmonious culture in the effort to increase loan repayment of companies (debtors). 358 qualified debtors are used in the research. Data on the loan repayment rate in 2012 is used as a base for evaluation and reevaluated in 2017 in the same sample. In addition, an assessment on the perception of debtors toward the entrepreneurship training and the implementation of harmonious culture by microfinance institutions is conducted through questionnaire distribution. Data collected is analyzed using regression analysis. The result of regression analysis indicates that entrepreneurship training in form of the ability to develop business, entrepreneurship skill, and marketing skill has no relationship with loan repayment rate. Assistance program in form of cost in increasing faith to God through ceremonies at the companies give new spirit to achieve optimism in business progress since debtors believe that there are other forces in addition to human efforts that could change the business achievement. Cultural activities in maintaining harmonious relationship with others and natural environment gives positive impact on the increase in loan repayment. Harmonious culture implemented by the debtors linked to business activities in form of loan repayment is something new. The research result gives suggestion on human capital theory that harmonious culture is an attribute in determining one’s performance.
