Support Tools

Abstract Effectively managing unpredictability requires decision support tools that can predict the financial and business outcomes of various supply chain strategies. This paper will discuss the role of these decision support tools and their characteristics as well as review a case study. In the case study, decision support tools facilitated development of strategies that increased after tax profit by $140 Million. These strategies included: • Reliability improvement strategy: Identifying the reliability improvements that offered the biggest profitability impact. • Supply chain strategy: Defining inventory management and production scheduling rules that ensured order shipment within two days. • Capital investment strategy: Defining when new capacity should come on line as well as the minimum capital investment.

Institutional investors, particularly pension funds, based in developed Anglo-American capital markets are increasingly investing in international markets, including emerging markets, in an effort to capitalize on the rapid growth rates of these markets. But investment in far-flung jurisdictions carries with it risk and uncertainty, particularly when the corporate standards of firms in emerging markets are below those found in these investors' home countries. In order to mitigate the risks posed by poor corporate standards of behaviour, institutional investors increasingly apply nonfinancial criteria not only to individual firms in emerging markets, but to the corporate practices of whole countries. Though countries and their regulatory regimes are central to external capital-investment decisions, we find convergence to global standards occurs when key actors in the investment value chain demand levels of corporate and social behavior greater than those currently consistent with countries' own regulatory frameworks. We test this hypothesis using the decision of the California Public Employees Retirement System to screen out several emerging-market countries from their investment portfolio on the basis of a variety of nonfinancial criteria.

48 Background: Radiotherapy (RT) utilization is the proportion of patients (Pts) with a new diagnosis of carcinoma that receives at least one course of RT during the duration of their illness (MacKillop et al). In Ontario, the benchmark for utilization is 42%, and the target rate for Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) is 48%. However in 2005/06 Ontario’s utilization rate was only 35%. This shortfall implies that a significant number of Pts in Ontario were not receiving the best possible treatment. Methods: CCO has developed Capital Investments Strategies to take into account a growing population, an increased incidence of cancer (2.7% per annum), and changing demographics. The most recent (2012) has developed a plan for a gradual improvement in utilization at a rate of 0.5% per annum. With support from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC), the amount of RT Units (RTUs) available increased from 77 (2005/06) to 103 (2013/14). In addition, the MOHLTC supported training programs for provincial Medical Physicists and Radiation Therapists to ensure effective staffing for increased RTUs. Results: Due to investments in RTUs and training, the number of Pts treated in Ontario has risen over 38% from 26,448 in 2005/06 to 36,613 in 2012/13. As a result, provincial utilization rates have risen from 35.1% in 2004/05 to 38.8% in 2012/13, closer to provincial targets. Notable improvements have been seen in centres such as The Carlo Fidani Peel Regional Cancer Centre, where the total number of RT Pts treated increased from 623 (2005/06) to 2532 (2012/13). Similar improvements are seen in other Local Health Integration Networks where comparable investments have been made. These improvements have been attained at the same time as provincial RT wait times have significantly improved from 80.2% (Jan 2010) to 91.6% (Dec 2012) of Pts seen within targets, exceeding provincial targets of 87%. Conclusions: The increase in RT utilization rates provincially demonstrates the success of developing a comprehensive capital investment strategy and coupling it with increased investments in human resource planning. The increased utilization rate has outpaced the increasing cancer incidence and demonstrates the success of these strategies, providing better access to care for cancer Pts in Ontario.

Sovereign Bond Markets

Sovereign debt restructurings are perceived as inflicting large losses to bondholders. However, many bonds feature high coupons and often exhibit strong post-crisis recoveries. To account for these aspects, we analyze the long-term returns of sovereign bonds during 32 crises since 1998, taking into account losses from bond exchanges as well as profits before and after such events. We show that the average excess return over risk-free rates in crises with debt restructuring is not significantly lower than the return on bonds in crises without restructuring. Returns differ considerably depending on the investment strategy: Investors who sell during crises fare much worse than buy-and-hold investors or investors entering the market upon signs of distress

Optimal Investment Strategy

With the gradual development and improvement of the financial market, financial derivatives such as futures and options have also become the objects of competition in the financial market. Therefore, how to make the most favorable and optimized investment and consumption when options are included? It has become a problem facing investors. Aiming at the optimal investment problem of investors, this paper studies the calculation of an optimal investment strategy in stochastic differential equations in financial market options on the basis of fuzzy theory. Now, stochastic calculus has become an important branch of stochastic analysis, finance, control, and other fields. The study of introducing stochastic differential equations is mainly to solve the stochastic control problem, which is the principle of the stochastic maximum. In finance, some hedging or pricing problems of contingent rights can eventually be transformed into a series of stochastic differential equations. Based on the historical data of five aspects of bank deposits, bonds, funds, stocks, and real estate of four listed insurance companies, the paper analyzes the optimization strategy of the capital investment of listed insurance companies based on the investment yield of the domestic investment market. According to the final results, the historical proportion of bank deposits of the superior company is 27%, and the optimal proportion given by the model is 25%; the total proportion of funds and stocks is 15%, and the optimal proportion of funds analyzed in the model is 20% and the optimal proportion of stocks is 10%. Therefore, the final results show that the investment efficiency of listed insurance companies can actually increase investment in stocks and funds and reduce the proportion of bank deposits to obtain greater investment returns.

Access to finance is one of the most significant challenges for the creation, survival and growth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), especially, innovative ones. However, forced bank mergers by Central bank of Indonesia may hurdle SME financing and growth. Using the financial data of seven Indonesian bank mergers within 2004-2009, periods three years before and after the merger, this study examines whether bank mergers may hurdle SME financing and growth. The study concludes that bank mergers in Indonesia decreased SME crediting but increased bank performance and SME crediting no longer influenced bank performance either. Bank mergers hurdle SME financing and growth.

Abstract The paper examines the relationship existing between commercial property investment returns and public capital investment (budgetary expenditures) on road infrastructure in Fadikpe area, Minna (Nigeria) with the aim of determining the degree of impact of public capital investment on commercial property investment returns. The paper addresses a pertinent policy and practice question on the impact of government’s budgetary expenditures on real estate sector of the economy. Government increasingly faces funding challenges in providing new infrastructure or improvement of existing ones, thus, keen to know the areas of greater impact of its expenditures and the extent to which the benefits from the impact may go in augmenting or providing funds (through tax) for new road infrastructure provision or repair of existing ones. The research uses the before-and-after case method to identify an increase in property values (rental and sales) as measured by the trend of property investment returns before-and-after budgetary expenditures. The results show that commercial property investment returns in the area increased after budgetary expenditure (road construction) took place. The results form the basis upon which the government should consider more budgetary allocations and expenditures related to road transportation infrastructure in its budgetary allocation decisions. The results also quantify the proposed alternative source of funding (property tax) that can be harnessed via capturing the increase in property investment returns.

279 Background: To ensure appropriate access to radiation treatment (RT) for Ontario cancer patients for the next decade and that future capital investments in radiation equipment are appropriately timed and strategically placed, Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) has updated its RT Capital Investment Strategy. The strategy was designed around 4 core principles: i) recognizing treatment machine capacity should match the demand resulting from increasing cancer incidence rates and increasing utilization rates as per CCO goals; ii) keeping pace with advancing technology; iii) ensuring value for money by maximising the use of current infrastructure; and iv) minimizing costs through centralized planning and procurement processes. Methods: A multidisciplinary provincial expert panel reviewed and revised the planning parameters used to project treatment demand and required capacity (including fractions of RT per treated case, number of cases treated per hour, uptime of treatment units). The panel reviewed current practice, impact of new and emerging treatment technologies and benchmarks from other jurisdictions. To project the future demand for radiation therapy, growth in cancer incidence (by county) as well as modest improvement in RT utilization rates were assumed. Results: Recommendations included: i) moving to 12-hour treatment days in all large centres and on 50% of equipment in centres operating fewer than 6 treatment units; ii) ensuring appropriate funding for the replacement of existing RT equipment; iii) equipping constructed rooms in 4 regional cancer centers – thereby adding 6 linacs; iv) equipping swing bunkers across the province – thereby adding 10 linacs; and v) planning for the construction of new facilities to add RT capacity in 3 regions of the province. Conclusions: Funding to implement recommendations from previous capital investment strategies has resulted in an equitable distribution of RT resources across the province. We believe the planning strategies and recommendations outlined in the strategy will improve access to quality RT care as close to home as feasible for Ontario patients.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce social enterprise self-employment programs (SEPs) as a two-dimensional human capital investment strategy that can potentially advance economic development. Design/methodology/approach SEPs are frequently utilized as a tool for increasing economic self-sufficiency in poor communities. Literature discussing the use of commercial enterprise SEPs to increase economic development highlights the potential for creatingthe similar programs geared toward creating social enterprises. Human capital theory is used to illustrate how social enterprise SEPs can foster human capital, a predictor of economic growth and development. Examples of existing social enterprise SEPs are discussed to highlight how they can be designed. Cases of human capital-oriented social enterprises are also used to outline different business forms social enterprise SEPs can help create. Findings This general review paper suggests that social enterprise SEPs can be a sound two-dimensional human capital investment strategy. It argues that social enterprise SEPs can train aspiring social entrepreneurs to create businesses than subsequently foster human capital in their local communities. Research limitations/implications This paper introduces the concept of social enterprise SEPs, opening up a new area of research for scholars to explore. Researchers should examine participant and organizational factors of existing social enterprise SEPs to assess their impact, as literature has linked them to success rates of commercial SEPs. Practical implications This paper emphasizes the need for SEPs to offer task-related training as opposed to general business training to prepare social entrepreneurs in effort to run successful social enterprises. Originality/value The concept of social enterprise SEPs is new, and literature pertaining to it is scarce. This paper introduces them as a tool for attending to community problems while equipping future generations of social entrepreneurs with the skills to create social enterprises.
