Title	:	Consumer Perception towards Tall Buildings
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Deepak Murlidhar Sundrani,
	:	10.9790/487X-0441619

Abstract: The recent trend in Real Estate in most Indian cities is that builders/ developers are constructing tall buildings. However many people are unwilling to stay in tall buildings due to the lack of confidence in evacuation in case of fire and earthquake. Some people are willing to stay in tall buildings as the view is much larger and noise pollution and smoke pollution from vehicles reduces as you go up and people feel that they are at the top of the world. These people also consider the probability of occurrence of fire and earthquake as very low. Also, those who want to stay in tall buildings do so as they prefer to stay in an iconic building.

Abstract:Globally, there is an increased recognition of the important role played by micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the economic development of a country. Similarly, in the South Asia region, MSMEs is the main engine behind the economic growth. In particular, MSMEs are the biggest contributors to GDP, employment and plays a core role in the supply chain of large businesses. One of the major problem faced by MSMEs in South Asian countries is lack of finance to advance business growth. MSMEs are short of setup capital, liquid capital, working capital and investment capital to survive and grow in a dynamic and predatory competitive business environment. MSMEs heavily depend on the financial institutions such as banks, credit corporations and development banks for the supply of finance to meet their daily financial needs. Against this backdrop this paper will analyze the performance of MSMEs in recent decade and also examine the financial obstacles faced by MSMEs. In addition with this paper will provide some recommendations for change in government policy and regulation in assisting MSMEs.

Abstract:Algorithmic trading strategies have one of the most significant roles for the new era of financial market. Various Hedge funds, Mutual funds and other investment banks are widely using various algorithmic trading strategies for risk management and future volatility estimation for financial instruments. In this paper, we focus upon one algorithmic approach with the aspect of special case of GARCH model, its ability to deliver volatility forecasts and moving average with multiple weighted price of asset. This model is useful not only for modeling the historical process of volatility but also in giving us multi-period ahead forecasts and helps to give exact entry price.

Title	:	Services Marketing Theory Revisited: An Empirical Investigation into Financial Services Marketing
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Anisa Jan

Abstract:Recently many authors (Enis and Roering 1981; Wright 1995; Lovelock and Gummeson 2004; Vargo and Lusch 2004) have challenged the uniqueness of service particularly with advancements in technology. However some authors are still having a strong belief that services are different than tangible goods and therefore require different marketing frameworks. This has resulted in a fresh 'services-marketing-is-different' debate. The present article tests the validity of basic assertion of services marketing theory that four specific characteristics—intangibility, heterogeneity, inseparability, and perishability—make services uniquely different from goods and also analyses the data for difference in perception across public and private sector financial firms. The data has been collected through structured questionnaire administered among 877 managers of financial service firms which is regarded as one of the pure service. Findings suggest the theory is pretty much valid till now, however the significance of each characteristic varies across services. The study concludes that the biggest challenge faced by services firms is heterogeneity and not intangibility as reported by most of the earlier studies. Marketing managers of service firms can use the study to identify the challenges that are unique to their services and therefore focus on the most critical issues facing them.

Country	:	India
Authors	:	Varun Dawar
	:	10.9790/487X-0444650

Abstract:Corporate Bond market in India, unlike developed and other Asian counties, is relatively underdeveloped both in terms of depth and liquidity. Given the excessive reliance of corporates on bank funding, credit risks are fairly concentrated within the banking sector. Also the share of corporate issuances is abysmally low when compared to the same in government securities market. Globally bond markets are much bigger than the size of equity market whereas in India the size of corporate debt market has remained insignificant in comparison to that of equity. Although the equity markets in India have grown at a brazen pace fuelled by reforms and participation, bond markets have lagged and continue to remain plagued with various issues and unfavorable policy environment. This paper reviews the current state of corporate bond market in India and discusses issues and policies that can help further deepen and improve liquidity in corporate bond market.
