Absorption Characteristics

It is eminent to understand, be aware of and encourage domestic retail investors towards investment in the capital market in a developing economy such as India for tackling the situation of capital insufficiency and financial instability. Therefore, the study was purposed to find out the different dimensions of cognition that affect investment attitude and the different characteristics of risk absorption affecting the investment decision making. The study also intended to find the direct and the mediating impact of investors’ cognition directly and through risk-absorption scenarios on the level of interest on investment. The study used the causative research design and by using stratified random sampling, received 392 responses from investors with risk-absorption characteristics from four strata of Odisha (a state of India) through a self-constructed questionnaire. Factor analysis was used to find out the factor of cognition and risk absorption. Multiple linear regression was used to find out the effect of both factors of cognition and risk absorption on the intensity of purchase financial product or level of interest in investment. Mediation analysis was used to find the mediating impact showing the direct and indirect impact of cognition on interest in investment and through the factors risk absorption. The study found that the dimensions of cognition (hot, cold, social and meta) have a significant impact on the level of interest towards investment, so financial product sellers must use these dimensions and sources of cognition to bring up interest from the domestic investor to invest in the domestic capital market. It has also been found that the risk-absorption characteristics play a mediating and vital role in the relation between investors’ cognition and level of interest in investment. Therefore, it is imperative to uplift the risk-absorption capacity through different dimensions of cognition and sources of information, which can reflect in a better understanding of the market and investment scenarios.

We document that managers stockpile excess inventory to mitigate the operational risk posed by labor unions and to maintain bargaining power in labor negotiations. Inventory levels are higher for union firms and are incrementally higher preceding the renegotiation of collective bargaining agreements with unions. Inventory stockpiling at union firms is more salient when capital market pressure for transparency or information spillover from peers constrains managers from using disclosure strategies. We further show that managers weigh the costs and benefits of inventory stockpiling, as holding excess inventory due to the presence of a union is negatively associated with future profitability but provides the benefits of avoiding a stockout and mitigating negative outcomes from a strike. Our findings highlight the importance of a major stakeholder, i.e., labor, in managers' investment decision-making.

SMEs play a vital role in the process of industrialisation in developing countries because of their ability to adapt to the changing environment. In view of the multiple constraints and complexity of investment decision-making process, a study was undertaken to analyse the investment structure/practices of SMEs in Mauritius. The results of the study reveal that of the SMEs with an investment of over Rs. 1 million, 76% are corporates, and of those with an investment of more than Rs. 3 million, 90% are companies. Similarly irrespective of their year of formation, 64% of SMEs in the corporate sector are willing to re-invest more than Rs. 1m in plant and machinery, but even government incentives like raising the qualifying investment limit and duty concessions have not encouraged SMEs to invest over Rs. 3m in plant and machinery. A sectoral analysis reveal that SMEs in the metal product and workshops were willing to reinvest but those in the textile product group were not. As far as sectoral investment since 1990 is concerned, the two sectors which have witnessed increased investment in Plant and Machinery are food and beverages and chemical, rubber and plastics. The growth and modernisation of SMEs warrant considerable government support in the form of tax and duty concessions and soft-term loans.

Engineering Projects

Investment decisions are usually made on the basis of the subjective judgments of experts subjected to the information gap during the preliminary stages of a project. As a consequence, a series of errors in risk prediction and/or decision-making will be generated leading to out of control investment and project failure. In this paper, the variable fuzzy set theory and intelligent algorithms integrated with case-based reasoning are presented. The proposed algorithm manages the numerous fuzzy concepts and variable factors of a project and also sets up the decision-making process in accordance with past cases and experiences. Furthermore, it decreases the calculation difficulty and reduces the decision-making reaction time. Three types of risk correlations combined with different characteristics of engineering projects are summarized, and each of these correlations is expounded at the project investment decision-making stage. Quantitative and qualitative change theories of variable fuzzy sets are also addressed for investment risk warning. The approach presented in this paper enables the risk analysis in a simple and intuitive manner and realizes the integration of objective and subjective risk assessments within the decision-makers' risk expectation.

Geographical Diversification

This study illustrates the effectiveness of geographical diversification using capital market data. The paper uses historical capital market prices to show how the neglect of geographical diversification results in a deterioration in investment decision-making. In addition, the correlations between the capital markets of the former socialist countries are presented, which in many cases can be explained by real economic processes and geopolitical events. Quantitative, real-time financial and statistical data provided by capital markets can also be used to justify the dependence systems between countries and groups of countries, but the method can also be used in many cases to show the economic and geopolitical changes between countries. The study shows how concentrated the world’s stock markets are, which means that smaller capital markets cannot separate themselves from economic events, money and capital market news, or events of the largest ones.

Investment Behaviour

Investment plays a vital role in a developing country such as India, as it provides the necessary funds for undertaking productive activities to be circulated in the economy. Savings are our country's largest source of investment. Investments are subject to the individual’s attitudes, beliefs and perceptions. As a result, the attitudes and expectations of investors have a major impact on their investment behaviour. Locus of Control is one of the most important factors that affect individual’s decision-making behaviour. Locus of Control is people's assumptions about what causes their lives to have good and bad outcomes (Rotter, 1966). It is said that there is internal and external LOC. Individuals with internal LOC assume they control their own destiny, whereas individuals with external LOC relate their experiences to destiny, luck or chance. Consequently, LOC has a great influence on an individual's investment decision-making behaviour. As a result, this study attempts to assess the LOC of an individual investors, segment them based on their level of internal and external LOC, and also to understand the impact of locus of control on the savings and investment behaviour of individual investors. The study revealed that most of the investors in Kerala were moderates and the locus of control of an individual investor affected their savings and investment behaviour

This study examines Behavioral Factors and Investment Decision Making in the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). Thus, the research question is what are the psychological factors affecting investment decisions in the Nigerian capital market. A structured questionnaire was used in collecting data and it was able to collect data from 75 investors with the application of a convenient sampling method. Using overconfidence bias, availability bias, conservatism, and herding effect to define the most important behavioral element affecting investment decision making by investors in the Nigerian. Multiple regression analysis was used as the key methodological method for evaluating the research hypothesis, whereas the internal consistency of the questionnaire calculated from Cronbach's alpha on all variables showed values greater than 0.7 with a sufficient level of reliability. The primary beneficiary group would be the buyers on the stock market who would be educated enough about the effect of their own behavioral influences on their stock market decision making. The knowledge would be useful in making optimal investment decisions and avoiding unfavorable decisions to increase their resources. In turn, it will be helpful to policymakers and stock market regulators to help them understand the position of behavioral influences inherited in consumer decision-making and that may be associated with the need for stock market brokers to update their customer's trading practices to a higher level. The findings of this study suggest that overconfidence, availability bias, and herding impact demonstrated a positive significant relationship with NSE investment decision-making except conservatism which showed a negative relationship with investment decision-making but at 0.01 levels statistically significant. On the basis of the results, it can be generalized that the most prevalent factors affecting investor investment decision taking in NSE are overconfidence, availability bias, and herding influence.
