We analyzed the content of cosmetics advertisements in women's magazines published in China and Korea and compared the Chinese ideal of beauty and psychosocial values to those of Korea. Our analysis of 341 advertisements showed that 62% of Korean advertisements were for domestic brands, and 46.2% depicted Korean models, with 19.3% depicting white models, whereas 75% of the Chinese cosmetics advertisements were for international brands, and 26.5% of them featured Chinese models, with 32.7% depicting white models. The results indicate that advertisers in the Chinese magazines more strongly presented Western images as ideals of beauty than did advertisers in Korean magazines. We also found that a high number of cosmetics advertisements in the Chinese magazines contained price information and emphasized psychosocial values, such as activeness and self-confidence, which were less common in advertisements in the Korean magazines. The results imply that Chinese consumers expect concrete product benefits and are more likely to aspire to Western-type beauty than are Korean consumers.

ProQuest Historical Newspapers: Leftist Newspapers and Periodicals is a source for leftist publications (mostly newspapers), largely published in the twentieth century. Here, the user can access articles in PDF format from 156 national and international publications. Navigating this database and the documents therein can be easily done, but articles cannot be magnified or reduced, which may prove problematic with PDFs of old newspapers. Database content can be found through browsing or by using a basic and/or advanced search. The browse and basic search options here are understandable, but the advanced search is not self-explanatory and can possibly confuse the user. As a consequence, a new user of this database will probably benefit from instruction in its use from either the vendor or someone else familiar with this resource. However, when this search function is used properly it can produce numerous, on-point results for any query. The same is true of the basic search and browsing features, though they tend to produce larger lists of results that are less on-point than the advanced search. The vendor did not provide specific price information for this review, only indicating that pricing is determined by an institution's size and number of users. As this provides potential subscribers with very little insight into the cost of acquiring this resource, its advised that they contact ProQuest for a price quote tailored to their own institution. Its licensing agreement is the same as those used for all ProQuest databases and is average in its composition (though somewhat longer than average). The quality and quantity of content in this resource is notable, and it will certainly be of use to those looking for articles from leftist newspapers and periodicals. However, the definition of “leftist” here may be problematic for some users! Communist and Socialist publications are certainly available in this database, but those for Anarchists, Social Democrats, and other leftists are not.

Saat melakukan penawaran saham perdana (Initial Public Offering atau disingkat IPO) adalah saat yang penting bagi perusahaan. Harga perdana saham mempunyai dampak yang signifikan terhadap perusahaan yang mengeluarkan sekuritas (issuers). Kas yang diperoleh dari pasar perdana ini, oleh issuersdapat dinikmati secara langsung. Hasil penjualan saham masuk ke perusahaan sebagai dana segar yang bisa tak terbatas jum-lahnya dibandingkan surat hutang, tergantung pada prospek perusahaan di masa men-datang di mata investor. Seringkali harga perdana ditetapkan berdasarkan informasi non harga (non-price information). Metode yang paling lazim digunakan underwriters dan investor untuk menilai saham perdana adalah dengan menggunakan pendekatan perusa-haan-perusahaan yang dapat diperbandingkan (comparable-firms approach). Pendekat-an ini menggunakan price-earning ratioperusahaan-perusahaan yang dapat diperban-dingkan sebagai penentu awal (yang dianggap mewakili open market price) untuk kemu-dian dikalikan dengan earnings perusahaan yang akan menawarkan saham perdananya. Oleh karenanya, informasi earnings yang disampaikan sebelum perusahaan menawarkan saham perdananya memegang peranan yang sangat penting untuk mendongkrak harga saham perdana.Alasan di atas cukup kuat untuk sampai pada dugaan bahwa issuers mungkin saja mela-kukan earnings managementdengan meninggikan laba dan melaporkannya pada infor-masi yang dipublikasikan sebelum penawaran saham perdananya untuk mendapatkan insentif dari pasar modal. Kajian tentang hal tersebut memberikan bukti bahwa manajer mengatur earnings pada saat mendekati penawaran perdana (penelitian oleh Friedlan 1994, Shivakumar 2000).Kebanyakan investor yang menggunakan informasi pada prospektus sebagai satu-satunya sumber informasi yang mudah dan murah, akan sangat mudah terpengaruh oleh pilihan-pilihan kebijakan akuntansi issuers dalam rangka earnings management.Penelitian ini mengkaji kemungkinan perusahaan-perusahaan yang melakukan penawar-an saham perdananya di Bursa Efek Jakarta mengatur earnings sedemikian rupa dan meng-informasikannya melalui prospektus dengan tujuan mencapai harga perdana yang setinggi-tingginya. Setelah itu, perusahaan mengembalikan earnings ke tingkat semula.
