Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la empresa invertir consiste en emprender nuevos proyectos y asignar fondos en congruencia con sus objetivos a largo plazo. Un proyecto de inversión exige la adquisición individualizada de una serie de activos aislados y su integración, para que su conjunto cumpla una funcionalidad específica, capaz de generar unas rentas superiores a la suma de los desembolsos de comprar los activos individuales. El valor que se prevé que creará esa agregación, medido por la diferencia entre el valor actual de las rentas futuras y el de los desembolsos previstos, nace de los recursos materiales y los conocimientos de que se disponga, que son los que le permiten diseñar y organizar los activos aislados para conseguir que rindan más juntos que separados. Con este planteamiento, este Cuaderno de Documentación se centra en el análisis económico de proyectos de inversión y diferencia los estratégicos ‒son los que inciden significativamente sobre los factores clave de éxito de la empresa y afectan a su posición competitiva‒ y los operativos, más orientados a consolidar la posición alcanzada por los logros de los estratégicos. Este análisis económico de un proyecto de inversión evalúa su rentabilidad, su liquidez y su riesgo, sobre la base de que ha de ofrecer unas rentas superiores al desembolso que requiera su ejecución, es decir, que genere más dinero del que absorba, y que ese exceso justifique el riesgo asociado. Para ello, se representa y evalúa el proyecto por sus dimensiones principales: su vida o duración, su tamaño, su movimiento de fondos, que estima la diferencia entre los cobros y los pagos previstos en cada periodo, y sus indicadores de medida. Se revisan en detalle estos indicadores más habituales, sus ventajas y limitaciones y la relación que hay entre ellos. Posteriormente se evalúa el riesgo del proyecto, es decir, la posibilidad de que genere pérdidas significativas, y para ello se describen tres métodos: la formulación de escenarios alternativos, el análisis de la sensibilidad del proyecto a sus principales variables y la utilización de la simulación para configurar el perfil de riesgo del proyecto. Por último, se revisan algunas áreas de la evaluación de proyectos de especial importancia como son: la decisión de cancelar un proyecto; la penalización de los proyectos estratégicos por usar el método del descuento de flujos; el desglose del proyecto por tramos de riesgo y la utilización de tasas de descuento diferentes en cada tramo; la relevancia del riesgo sistemático del proyecto y la necesidad de utilizar tasas diferentes para cada proyecto; y la consideración en el análisis de las opciones que, en general, ofrece todo proyecto y que aportan una flexibilidad que añade valor. Por último, se diferencia entre la rentabilidad económica del proyecto y la rentabilidad de su promotor a fin de mostrar los efectos favorables y las limitaciones del denominado apalancamiento financiero.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Download or read book Global Investment Competitiveness Report 2017 2018 written by World Bank Group and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Investment Competitiveness report presents new insights and evidence on drivers of foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing countries, and FDI’s role in development. The report’s survey of 750 executives of multinational corporations finds that a business-friendly legal and regulatory environment is a key driver of investment decisions in developing countries, along with political stability, security, and macroeconomic conditions. The report’s topic-specific chapters explore the potential of FDI to create new growth opportunities for local firms, assess the power of tax holidays and other fiscal incentives to attract FDI, analyze characteristics of FDI originating in developing countries, and examine the experience of foreign investors in countries affected by conflict and fragility. Three key features of this Global Investment Competitiveness report distinguish it from other publications on FDI. First, its insights are based on a combination of first-hand perspectives of investors, extensive analysis of available data and evidence, and international good practices in investment policy design and implementation. Secondly, rather than exploring broad FDI trends, the report provides detailed and unique analysis of FDI depending on its motivation, sector, geographic origin and destination, and phase of investment. Thirdly, the report offers practical and actionable recommendations to policymakers in developing countries wishing to reform their business climates for increased investment competitiveness. As such, the report is meant to complement other knowledge products of the World Bank Group focused even more explicitly on country-level data, detailed reform diagnostics, and presentation of best practices. We are confident this report will bring value and fresh perspectives to a variety of audiences. To governments and policymakers, including investment promotion professionals, the report offers direct insights into the role of government policies and actions in investors’ decision-making. To foreign investors and site location consultants, the report provides information on FDI trends and drivers across sectors and geographies. For academic audiences, the new datasets on investment incentives and FDI motivations enables opportunities for additional research and analysis. Lastly, for development assistance providers and other stakeholders, the report highlights key approaches for maximizing FDI’s benefits for development.

This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling book, now with a new preface by the authors At once a bold defense and reimagining of capitalism and a blueprint for a new system for doing business, Conscious Capitalism is for anyone hoping to build a more cooperative, humane, and positive future. Whole Foods Market cofounder John Mackey and professor and Conscious Capitalism, Inc. cofounder Raj Sisodia argue that both business and capitalism are inherently good, and they use some of today’s best-known and most successful companies to illustrate their point. From Southwest Airlines, UPS, and Tata to Costco, Panera, Google, the Container Store, and Amazon, today’s organizations are creating value for all stakeholders—including customers, employees, suppliers, investors, society, and the environment. Read this book and you’ll better understand how four specific tenets—higher purpose, stakeholder integration, conscious leadership, and conscious culture and management—can help build strong businesses, move capitalism closer to its highest potential, and foster a more positive environment for all of us.
