Is the Love of Money Universal Amongst Aspiring Malaysian Managers?

- -Quah Chun Hoo, Wong Si-Maan and Joshua Ignatius

This research examines the influence of the love of money and religiosity on the Machiavellian orientations of future managers. Data was collected from 163 business undergraduates from a local public university in Malaysia. Results from the hierarchical regression analysis showed that there is a positive relationship between love of money and Machiavellianism. In addition to this, the relationship between religiosity and Machiavellianism was not substantiated. Similarly, through simple regression, there was no attainable evidence to conclude a significant relationship between love of money and religiosity. However, the t-test results showed a significant difference in the love of money between Malays and non-Malays in Malaysia.

Board Characteristics that Promote Effective Governance: A Perspective on Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica

- -Rolph N S Balgobin

The term `Corporate Governance' (CG) has been used flexibly and in a variety of contexts to describe various aspects of corporate accountability. This is not surprising, given the history of corporate development and the rise of the professional salaried manager as a new subspecies of the economic man. This paper begins by considering CG and its history, which is followed by a brief examination of the nature of boards and then a full discussion on the board characteristics which promote effective governance, using examples to illustrate key points. This short paper attempts to build a perspective with a contextual focus on the Commonwealth Caribbean in general and Trinidad and Tobago in particular. In doing so, 47 companies on the stock exchanges of Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica were studied to test the level of adherence with internationally accepted CG standards. The findings show significant levels of compliance and some interesting disparities as well.

Strategic Corporate Governance: Looking Beyond Regulations

- -Satheesh Kumar T N

This paper looks into the substance of Corporate Governance (CG) practices by top Indian firms beyond the regulatory requirements. The paper analyzes how the Indian companies which are a part of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensex follow the regulatory CG requirements in substance, based on certain selective parameters. It was found that these blue-chip companies still have some way to go in following the norms in substance. Further, this paper suggests how complying with the CG norms can be a strategic advantage.

Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility: The Case of Three Indian Private Companies

- -T N Rama Kumar

This study analyzes the Corporate Governance (CG) practices of three prominent private Indian firms, based on four parameters namely, `Approach to Corporate Governance', `Governance Structure and Practices', `Board committees' and `Corporate Social Responsibility Activities'. Three companies, namely ITC Ltd., Reliance Industries Ltd., and Infosys Technologies Ltd., were chosen, as they represent different ownership and control patterns among the private sector companies. The study finds that though the CG practices are exemplary, there exists differences in the way the companies adopt the CG practices.

Automated Teller Machines (ATMs): The Changing Face of Banking in India

Bank Management
Information and communication technology has changed the way in which banks provide services to its customers. These days the customers are able to perform their routine banking transactions without even entering the bank premises. ATM is one such development in recent years, which provides remote banking services all over the world, including India. This paper analyzes the development of this self-service banking in India based on the secondary data.

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is playing a very important role in the progress and advancement in almost all walks of life. The deregulated environment has provided an opportunity to restructure the means and methods of delivery of services in many areas, including the banking sector. The ICT has been a focused issue in the past two decades in Indian banking. In fact, ICTs are enabling the banks to change the way in which they are functioning. Improved customer service has become very important for the very survival and growth of banking sector in the reforms era. The technological advancements, deregulations, and intense competition due to the entry of private sector and foreign banks have altered the face of banking from one of mere intermediation to one of provider of quick, efficient and customer-friendly services. With the introduction and adoption of ICT in the banking sector, the customers are fast moving away from the traditional branch banking system to the convenient and comfort of virtual banking. The most important virtual banking services are phone banking, mobile banking, Internet banking and ATM banking. These electronic channels have enhanced the delivery of banking services accurately and efficiently to the customers. The ATMs are an important part of a bank’s alternative channel to reach the customers, to showcase products and services and to create brand awareness. This is reflected in the increase in the number of ATMs all over the world. ATM is one of the most widely used remote banking services all over the world, including India. This paper analyzes the growth of ATMs of different bank groups in India.
International Scenario

If ATMs are largely available over geographically dispersed areas, the benefit from using an ATM will increase as customers will be able to access their bank accounts from any geographic location. This would imply that the value of an ATM network increases with the number of available ATM locations, and the value of a bank network to a customer will be determined in part by the final network size of the banking system. The statistical information on the growth of branches and ATM network in select countries.

Indian Scenario

The financial services industry in India has witnessed a phenomenal growth, diversification and specialization since the initiation of financial sector reforms in 1991. Greater customer orientation is the only way to retain customer loyalty and withstand competition in the liberalized world. In a market-driven strategy of development, customer preference is of paramount importance in any economy. Gone are the days when customers used to come to the doorsteps of banks. Now the banks are required to chase the customers; only those banks which are customercentric and extremely focused on the needs of their clients can succeed in their business today.
