Download or read book Singapore And Switzerland Secrets To Small State Success written by Yvonne Guo and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cases of Singapore and Switzerland present a fascinating puzzle: how have two small states achieved similar levels of success through divergent pathways? Are both approaches equally sustainable, and what lessons do they hold for each other? While Singapore is the archetypal developmental state, whose success can be attributed to strong political leadership and long-term planning, Switzerland's success is a more organic process, due to the propitious convergence of strong industries and a resilient citizenry. Yet throughout the course of their development, both countries have had to deal with the dual challenges of culturally heterogeneous populations and challenging regional contexts. Edited by Yvonne Guo and Jun Jie Woo, with forewords from Ambassadors Thomas Kupfer and Tommy Koh, Singapore and Switzerland: Secrets to Small State Success features contributions from distinguished scholars and policymakers who explore the dynamics of two small states which have topped international rankings in a dazzling array of policy areas, from economic competitiveness to education to governance, but whose pathways to success could not be more different.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intervention by the Swiss Federal Council when Swisscom, the country's former monopolistic and still partly government-owned telecommunications provider, wanted to acquire its Irish counterpart showed that conflicts of interest can arise in a government-linked company, especially if the stake is directly owned by the government like in Switzerland. Singapore, a comparable country to Switzerland, also has many government-linked companies. Most of them are privatized and listed on the stock exchange, but the Singaporean Government still holds some stakes in them through state-owned holdings companies. These state-owned holding companies' policy is to act as a financial investor; therefore conflicts of interest can be reduced to a minimum. This master's thesis wants to inquire further how good corporate governance procedures in government-linked companies are and how far the governments have an influence on these companies. For this purpose a comparative case study was conducted by comparing the two biggest government-linked companies in Switzerland and Singapore, the two telecommunications providers Swisscom and SingTel. The study assessed criteria in regard to corporate governance such as board conduct, disclosure, and the role of the major shareholder (i.e. the government). The results showed good practices of corporate governance in both companies, which can also be attributed to the good corporate governance regulations in these countries. Areas for improvement included improvement of the corporate governance culture, sharpening of the role of the board within the company, fostering increased voluntary disclosure, and clarifying the role of the government in the government-linked companies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asia's miraculous recovery from the 1997 crisis ushered in unexpected transformations to its economies and financial sectors.

Offering broader and deeper coverage than other handbooks, the Handbook of Asian Finance explains what is going on in Asia today. - Devotes significant attention to the systematic risk created by banks' exposure to links between real estate and other sectors - Explores the implications implicit in the expansion of sovereign funds and the growth of the hedge fund and real estate fund management industries - Investigates the innovations in technology that have ushered in faster capital flow and larger trading volumes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first sight, a free trade agreement (FTA) between Switzerland and the United States seems implausible, but this important new study concludes that an FTA between the two countries would be highly worthwhile to both. As leading advocates of market capitalism, Switzerland and the United States are well situated to conclude an FTA that breaks new ground in dismantling barriers. The study finds that the annual GDP gains to each partner from expanded trade could be on the order of $1.1 billion.
