Catching The Behavior Of Stock Market: Numerical Approach To Estimate The Catalytic Chemical Model Parameters, Zäafri Ananto Husodo, Lenny Suardi, Ririen Setiati, Risca Fleureta Hudiyono

The Indonesian Capital Market Review

This research proposes a numerical approach in estimating the trend of behavior of this market. This approach is applied to a model that is inspired by catalytic chemical model, in terms of differential equations, on four composite indices, New York Stock Exchange, Hong Kong Hang Seng, Straits Times Index, and Jakarta Stock Exchange, as suggested by Caetano and Yoneyama (2011). The approach is used to minimize the difference of estimated indices based on the model with respect to the actual data set. The result shows that the estimation is able to capture the trend of behavior in stock market well.


Understanding Emerging Market Sovereign Bond Yield Spread: Role Of Default And Non-Default Determinants, Adelia Surya Pratiwi Jan 2015

Understanding Emerging Market Sovereign Bond Yield Spread: Role Of Default And Non-Default Determinants, Adelia Surya Pratiwi

The Indonesian Capital Market Review

This paper is motivated by the fact that emerging market assets size has been expanding and trying to use sovereign debt market as part of capital market as main research focus. It is highlighting the distinction between default and non-default determinants and examining their significance in explaining emerging market sovereign bond yield spread.

Extensively, we also found the significance to add volatility of …

Super Bowl Xlix, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It is a 153 page document made public by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that begins with these awkward sentences: The day of the Super Bowl game (the “Game” or the “Super Bowl”) is America’s unofficial holiday, a day when the attention of an entire nation is focused on the Game in one region between the championship teams of the American and the National Football Conferences. The most highly anticipated annual sports event in North American sports is also a time for festive celebration and civic pride.”

A Case For Developing Spiritual Intelligence In Leaders Through Equine Facilitated Learning, Cora Maziere, Olen Gunnlaugson Jan 2015

A Case For Developing Spiritual Intelligence In Leaders Through Equine Facilitated Learning, Cora Maziere, Olen Gunnlaugson

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Unpredictable circumstances, growing stresses in an ever-increasing global market, and ubiquitous ennui have left organizations and today’s leaders in government, industry, and academia without the necessary tools to transition to change in a principled manner. The authors explain that the development and maintenance of genuine leadership skills — adaptive to the dictates of the modern world — must be borne from one’s inner self, a retreat to spirituality. One available method of achieving this is through Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning (EFEL), a technique whereby leaders develop critical management skills by working with horses.


The End Of Tomorrow: Have We Lost Control? Do We Still Have Time To Stop The Inevitable? Soon We Will Know It's All About Leadership, Emilio F. Iodice Jan 2015

The End Of Tomorrow: Have We Lost Control? Do We Still Have Time To Stop The Inevitable? Soon We Will Know It's All About Leadership, Emilio F. Iodice

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

There are many varying aspects of desired leadership in business and in government: managerial competencies, policy-making aligned with the needs of all affected stakeholders, effective communication skills, and the infusion of ethics in all forms of decision-making. However, none command attention more than the ability to lead in a world where every eco-system is in decline and the health of the planet is dangerously threatened. It will be those leaders who understand the magnitude, science, and extreme importance of this issue who are in the highest demand and to whom we look to protect the progress made in human rights …


Commitment In University Students: Generator Of Successful Professionals, Maria Del Rosario Hernández Coló Jan 2015

Commitment In University Students: Generator Of Successful Professionals, Maria Del Rosario Hernández Coló

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

The University has historically been regarded as the harbinger of values, human rights, and other noble pursuits. It is within this atmosphere that personal development, mutual respect, and collaboration are expected to flourish through commitment to work and study. Yet in order for meaningful and sustainable social, economic, and political changes to take root, the author opines that certain adjustments to the overall social fabric are occasionally required and can only be achieved through unyielding commitment — an essential value transmitted from person to person through both individual and collective reflection.


Bhagavad Gitā & The Art Of Leadership: Old Text, New Context!, Satinder Dhiman Jan 2015

Bhagavad Gitā & The Art Of Leadership: Old Text, New Context!, Satinder Dhiman

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Author and scholar Satinder Dhiman focuses upon the pervasive and necessary role of spirituality in values-based leadership. He notes that while the leadership literature is plentiful, the Bhagavad Gītā represents one of the very few writings which explores the core psychological, philosophical, ethical, and spiritual underpinnings of leadership roles. In this article, the author applies hermeneutics to the Gītā to highlight important leadership lessons and to apply such lessons to contemporary organizational leadership. Through selfless work, a true leader eschews an egoistic pursuit of self-aggrandizement to achieve the freedom of serving others. Thus, Dhiman concludes, the Gītā teaches its readers …


Favoritism: Ethical Dilemmas Viewed Through Multiple Paradigms, I-Pang Fu Jan 2015

Favoritism: Ethical Dilemmas Viewed Through Multiple Paradigms, I-Pang Fu

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Favoritism is a controversial issue in many cultural settings. Related terms include nepotism and cronyism; all three are identified with misconduct in the merit-based business world. The flip side is ethics — the principles of conduct governing an individual or a group (Merriam-Webster, 2012). According to John Dewey (1902), “Ethics is the science that deals with conduct insofar as this is considered to be right or wrong, good or bad.” Since favoritism is perceived as being linked to workplace misconduct, it is necessary to use ethics in examining this issue. The current study applied four lenses of ethics identified by …

Memo To Ceo: Five Easy Ways To Invigorate The C-Suite, Ritch Eich

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

As business is inherently stressful, especially for those in leadership positions, maintaining a restorative workplace environment is essential to promoting sound mental health and achieving sustained competitive excellence. Eich stresses that chief executives must continuously monitor their teams for ennui and malaise. As the previous article describes the impact of spirituality in the workplace, Eich notes the importance of creating an environment marked by the arts and measured forms of relaxation — whether in the form of comforting music, gardens, artwork, and/or time off from work. A reflective, calming work environment promotes a healthy psyche which, in turn, fosters creativity …

Values Generation: Turning Values Into Wealth, Leon Miller Jan 2015

Values Generation: Turning Values Into Wealth, Leon Miller

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Much of management behavior is focused on increasing benefits (usually thought of — in terms of Utilitarian ethics — as maximizing utility). Good, in terms of what increases benefits; thus, what is preferred by business is defined as the ability to motivate individuals in a way that increases desired outcomes (or that enhances organizational performance). This talent (referred to as the art of persuasion or the art of management) is valued because it facilitates achieving the desired results. Managers with such persuasive or motivational skills are highly regarded because of their ability to increase personal wealth, improve performance, and contribute …
