Abstract: One major concern in the international economic sanctions is the potential problem of consequences of sanction's results. This paper seeks to explore the consequences of sanction's results (successful, positive, minor & failed outcomes) on the target countries human rights, democracy and life expectancy. We analyse the sanctions implemented by U.S.A & U.N based on the dataset of policy results index and the sanctions contribution results index qualitative analysis in Hufbauer, Schott, and Elliott [HSE 2008]. The Imposition of Economic Sanctions (IES) includes 2765 cases in 73 countries during 35 years, since 1978 - 2012. This analysis evidence of consequences of sanctions results suggesting that sanctions played only a minor role in reaching the outcome, we reject the hypothesis that the sanctions and their consequences jointly have no impact on Human Rights, Democracy and Life Expectancy, In other words, our judgment in these cases is that sanctions did not contribute importantly to the sender’s goals.

Abstract: Today the Indian mutual fund industry is considered as one of the major and prominent player in the Capital Market. Mutual fund being a long term investment avenue is still relatively new for majority of Indian investors. The rate of savings in India is above 32% which is the second highest in the World after China. But still the Indian investors prefer Bank deposits, Post Office savings, and investment in physical assets like Gold and Real Estate.

Abstract: A reliable and inexpensive source of finance represents the lifeblood of any business venture. Access to finance continues to be a primary obstacle to the existence and growth of SMEs. This study seeks to assess the opportunities and risks associated with providing factoring for SMEs in Ghana. It delves into the existing sources of external financing for SMEs, the receivable management strategies employed by SMEs and then examines the extent to which SMEs in Ghana will fulfil the requirements for factoring. The research finds that out of the sampled SMEs, those in the manufacturing and distribution sectors presented a greater opportunity for factoring. It also revealed that the rather laid-back approach of SMEs to the management of their receivables presents a viable business opportunity for a factors’ account receivable management service to be provided.

Abstract: The rapid growth of internet in last two and half decades has provided a vast scope for research activities related to internet. One of the areas of research is e-commerce. As one of the marketing channels, e-commerce can be used to display product information as well as to do the transactions. Internet buying/e-commerce has a global reach and several corporations count on global markets for expansion and growth. However consumers in different countries exhibit different behavior while buying on internet because of the cultural differences. Thus, though there are several studies done in foreign countries on e-buying behavior, they can not be extended to India. The researcher therefore planned to do a doctoral study of e-buying behavior in India. As a part of this study this paper examines effect of some personality traits of the internet users in Maharashtra state in India on their intention to transact on line (ITOL). The results show that three traits namely Web-adventurism, e-buy history, and risk averseness affect the ITOL of the internet user in that order. Risk averseness affects ITOL negatively. The demographics (Age, Years of service, Income) and exposure (education, foreign travel) do not affect ITOL significantly. The paper then discusses the contribution and limitations of the study.
