A Case Study on Self-Interest on Mutual Fund Management

A Case Study about Self-Interest on Mutual Fund Management

Abstract: Previous research has concluded that mutual funds’ clients do have asymmetric performance reactions. Such behavior gives the fund manager the opportunity to optimize the fund’s own interests. Using a unique database from a financial system wherein commercial interests, investment banking and portfolio management are concentrated in the same banking group, we show that mutual funds tend to exhibit biased portfolios, i.e., financial assets of the group’s parent company outweigh other financial asset holdings.

This cannot be explained by performance, risk or securities’ characteristics, and is consistent with the hypothesis of the existence of self-interest on mutual fund management. read more in Self-Interest on Mutual Fund Management..

A Study on Contingency Approach

A Study on Contingency Approach: Its Foundations and Relevance Approach to Theory Building and Research in Marketing

Introduction: During the 1960s, management theory and research began to adopt a new orientation, one that embodied a remarkably simple concept and enabled significant advancements in the study of management and organisations. This orientation, now referred to as the contingency approach, emphasizes the importance of situation influences on the management of organisations and questions the existence of a single, best way to manage or organised. Today, the contingency approach dominates theory and research in the management literature.



A Study on Contingency Approach

Contingency approaches are positioned within management as mid-range theories between the two extreme views which state either that universal principles of organisation and management exist or that each organisation is unique and each situation must be analysed separately. The contingency approach entails identifying commonly recurring settings and observing how different structures, strategies and behavioural processes fare in each setting.

These were relatively small attack networks by today’s standards, ranging from several hundred to more than two thousand computers.
