Top Ten Body Language Tips

2011-06-03T03:50:00.000-07:00

Top Ten Body Language Tips

· Eye Contact

Eye contact is one of the most important aspects of dealing with others, especially people we've just met. Maintaining good eye contact shows respect and interest in what they have to say.

· Posture

Posture is the next thing to master, get your posture right and you'll automatically start feeling better, as it makes you feel good almost instantly. Next time you notice you're feeling a bit down, take a look at how you are standing or sitting. Chances are you'll be slouched over with your shoulders drooping down and inward. This collapses the chest and inhibits good breathing, which in turn can help make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.

· Head position

Head position is a great one to play around with, with yourself and others. When you want to feel confident and self-assured keep, your head level both horizontally and vertically. You can also use this straight head position when you want to be authoritative and what you're saying to be taken seriously. Conversely, when you want to be friendly and in the listening, receptive mode, tilt your head just a little to one side or other.

· Arms

They give away the clues as to how open and receptive we are to everyone we meet and interact with, so keep your arms out to the side of your body or behind your back. In general, terms the more outgoing you are as a person, the more you tend to use your arms with big movements. The quieter you are the less you move your arms away from your body. So, try to strike a natural balance and keep your arm movement’s midway. When you want to come across in the best possible light, crossing the arms is a no, no in front of others.

· Legs

Legs are the furthest point away from the brain; consequently, they are the hardest bits of our bodies to consciously control. They tend to move around a lot more than normal when we are nervous, stressed or being deceptive. So it is better to keep them as still as possible in most situations.

· Body Angle

Angle of the body in relation to others gives an indication of our attitudes and feelings towards them. We angle toward people we find attractive, friendly and interesting and angle ourselves away from those we don't, it's that simple! Angles includes leaning in or away from people, as we often just tilt from the pelvis and lean sideways to someone to share a bit of conversation.

· Hand Gestures

Hand gestures are so numerous it's hard to give a brief guide but here goes. Palms slightly up and outward is seen as open and friendly. Palm down gestures are generally seen as dominant, emphasizing and possibly aggressive, especially when there is no movement or bending between the wrist and the forearm. This palm up, palm down is very important when it comes to handshaking and where appropriate we suggest you always offer a handshake upright and vertical, which should convey equality.

Distance

Distance from others is crucial if you want to give off the right signals. Stand too close and you'll be marked as "Pushy" or "In your face". Stand or sit too far away and you'll be "Keeping your distance" or "Stand offish".

Ears

Yes your ears play a vital role in communication with others, even though general terms most people can't move them much, if at all. However, you have two ears and only one mouth, so try to use them in that order. If you listen twice as much as you talk you come across as a good communicator who knows how to strike up a balanced a conversation without being me, me, me or the wallflower.

Mouth

Mouth movements can give away all sorts of clues. We purse our lips and sometimes twist them to the side when we're thinking. Another occasion we might use this movement is to hold back an angry comment we don't wish to reveal. Nevertheless, it will probably be spotted by other people and although they may not know the comment, they will get a feeling you were not to please. There are also different types of smiles and each gives off a corresponding feeling to its recipient.

FDI in Global, Developing Asian, LDCs and Cambodian Context

FDI in Global, Developing Asian, LDCs and Cambodian Context

Meaning of FDI

In the globalize world, the contribution of FDI to development is widely recognized.

FDI transmits capital, managerial skill and technical knowledge to the host country.

WTO: FDI occurs when an investor based in one country acquires an asset in another country with the intent to manage that assets.

OECD: FDI as an ownership of assets in one country by residents of another for purposes of controlling the use of those assets.

IMF: FDI as the category of international investment that reflects the objective of obtaining a lasting interest by a resident entity in one economy, in an enterprise resident in another economy.

FDI implies that the investor exerts a significant degree of influence on the management of the enterprise resident in the other economy.

FDI is undertaken by both individuals and business entities.

Types of FDI

Three types or methods of investments which constitute FDI are:

i. Green-field investment

ii. Acquisition

iii. Joint Venture

i. Green-field investments

Involves an investment where the production facilities are built afresh and established fully by the company.

ii. Acquisition

Involves purchase of an existing company and it assets abroad in order to gain control of it. Enables the investor to quickly gain production capacity in the foreign country.

iii. Joint Venture

Involves a business enterprise which is partly owned by a firm together with one or more partners.

General Determinants of FDI

(Factors influencing FDI)

Economic fundamentals of the host countries relative to the home countries.

Market related variables

- Current market size

- Potential market size

Other variables

- Skilled manpower

- Cost of labour

- Cost of Capital

- Availability of infrastructure

- Political and macroeconomic stability

Research on the impact of selective government policies on FDI inflows was mixed.

i.Investment incentives were less important and secondary to fundamental determinants.

ii.Policies relating to FDI also assumed greater importance.

iii.Fiscal incentives and removal of entry restrictions are important determinants of FDI.

Effects of FDI on Growth

Research made clear that:

i.FDI as an important vehicle for the transfer of technology.

ii.FDI flows a bundle of resources – capital, technology, organizational and managerial skills, marketing know-how etc.

FDI helps in modernizing the poor economies and promoting economic development.

Finally the skills spillover to domestic firms.

FDI and knowledge Spillovers

positive Spillover

Research made clear that:

i.Multinational corporations contribute to efficiency by breaking supply bottlenecks.

ii.Introduce new know-how by new technology.

iii.Training to workers who later take employment in local firms.

iv.Breakdown monopoly and stimulate competition and efficiency.

v.Forced local firms to increase their managerial efforts.

vi.Transfer techniques for inventory and quality control and standardization to their local suppliers and distribution channels.

Negative Spillover

Research found that:

i.Foreign firms technology and know-how take the market of the domestic firms and make them produce in less efficient scales.

ii.Significant transfers of modern technology and rate of productivity growth did not occur.

Thus,

i.Host industry and host country characteristics influence the incidence of spillovers.

ii.Ability and motivation of local firms to absorb foreign knowledge and skills are important determinants of spillovers.

FDI ensures - Additional capital

- Access to foreign technology and knowledge

- Access to international markets

- Upgrading the productive capacity of LDCs

- Integration of the economy into the global economy

- Economic development

FDI Stimulates - Competition

- Innovation

- Savings and capital formation

How to Walk, Talk and Act Like an Expert

2011-04-28T00:18:00.000-07:00

How to Walk, Talk and Act Like an Expert

There are professionals in every industry that are tagged as experts. They are highly experienced and usually well respected, have an ability to understand all aspects of the work they do, and frequently lend a hand to help others out. They are the people we turn to for instruction, to get new business development ideas from, and to help us see beyond the obvious when it comes to problem solving.

You can recognize an expert by these key characteristics:

They are experienced and have a well-rounded knowledge about what they do.
They are confident in their ability to be successful.
They have authority and are listened to by their peers.
They are trusted and respected by their colleagues, clients and even people outside of the industry.

Experts are highly sought after which leads to more work and an increase in income. So it’s understandable why becoming an expert is something many professionals strive for.

While everyone can’t be an expert, there are actions you can take to position yourself for expert status. Are you ready to get yourself added to the elite list? Here’s how you can get started.

Perfect Your Knowledge

You have years of experience under your belt, and one of the best ways to use that experience to develop a reputation as an expert is by continuing to learn and develop your skills. Instead of offering up your experience at face value, go beyond the basics and truly learn the ins and outs of your industry. Try taking classes, implementing new techniques and learning from other trailblazers in the industry.

Share Your Experience

Experts don’t hoard their knowledge or use it solely for their own gain. In order to be considered an expert, you have to be willing to share what you know with others in the industry. You can do this by imparting your insight through a blog, mentoring an up and comer, and providing other information that can help others become better at what they do.

Make Your Own Rules

Experts don’t follow the path of everyone who came before them; they are willing to precipitate change for the improvement of the industry. To be considered an expert, let go of preconceptions and explore new ways to do things. Once you find a better alternative, teach it to others so they can become more efficient and successful.

Focus on Relationships

You can’t become an expert unless your peers identify you as such, so relationships matter. Experts are most successful when they are approachable, likable and respectful. Instead of being an “expert island,” build a community that can benefit from your experience and foster mutual success. It’s your individual relationships and the respect you earn that will catapult you to the top.

Being tagged an expert in your industry is an honor and should not be taken for granted. Do your best to uphold that distinction with humility and you will reap the benefits for years to come.

Are you an expert in the making? How do you view experts in your industry?

Watch out your temper at Workplace

2011-04-27T22:39:00.000-07:00

Watch out your temper at Workplace

There are often moments at the workplace when employees get angry and lose their cool. The reasons, for the same, may be many but the outcome is the same, leading to low performance, failure in understanding colleagues and an eruption of unknown emotions. And particularly now, with so much stress around this has become a quite commonly felt emotion.

So what could be the main cause for the same? There can be numerous causes for the eruption of anger at the workplace, from small petty instances of harassment or abuse, to peer pressure, stress, etc. So what do we do about it, keep sulking or have an emotional burst out?? Not possible- right!! Then try and control it learn it how-

For working professionals, it is imperative that they have a pleasant and a positive environment to work in. However, there are times when this very environment becomes sour and uncomfortable, causing disgruntlement and anger. And due to the current scenario and with the mounting pressure to perform better amongst the ever-increasing cut-throat competition, there seems to be a rise in unsettling emotions, including anger at work. And the result is hampered productivity, disturbed teamwork, etc., among other outcomes.

How harmful it can be?

Anger builds up inside when expression is curbed. Most people don’t have the tact to relate their problems, in an effective yet non-heated manner, and to prevent an outburst, employees bottle up their resentments.

Anger at work can be caused due to various reasons including issues with the boss, colleague, personal issues, etc. Unfortunately, stress at work has become the norm rather than an exception. Today, it is not enough for you to know the job; it is imperative that you are successful at it too

Though it is very natural to have varied emotions at work, the impact of every emotion is different. Anger, specifically can have drastic impacts on your professional life. Anger clouds perception and is known to fail intelligence, of an individual as well as of an organization.

Anger at work, if not addressed properly, can prove to be highly counter productive. It not only impacts the individual’s morale but also the performance, team dynamics and the work environment.

Deal with it – So how do you deal with this emotion at work? What is the best way to avoid such feelings?

1. Avoid Bumpy situations and discussions- The best way to control anger at the workplace is to walk away from uncomfortable discussions. It does not mean putting off the issue. It is always better to have discussions and confrontations when you are not in an agitated frame of mind.

2.Third party intervention- When you feel a bout of anger coming, try to calm down. Once you have calmed down, return with a more rational mind to discuss what went wrong and seek a solution, if possible. If you still can’t see eye-to-eye, get a third person to help you.

3.Communicate properly – It is important to learn how to communicate effectively, as it can help one solve anger issues. Losing ones temper is useless, as it does not get you anywhere.

So next time you think you are about to lose your cool, breathe, calm down and let the moment pass, as anger can get you nowhere, but out! Tips for anger management:

>> TIP 1 Try counting to ten before saying anything. This may not address the anger directly, but it can minimize the damage you will do while angry. You may have heard this before from lay man to celebrities- they all use it.

>> TIP 2 Learn to relax. This is easier said than done sometimes, but if you find something that calms you, like listening to music, talking to your kids etc., it is a good way to keep your anger under control, and a good way to maintain a calm environment in an angry situation.

>> TIP 3 Laugh. Think of something funny and laugh out loud. It is very difficult to be angry when you are laughing.

>> TIP 4 Stop and think before you speak and leave any sarcasm out of the conversation.

So get set and fight your anger, be happy in this new year and stay healthy. :)

Clarissa Tan left her native Singapore to pursue an MBA at the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) in Shanghai. We asked her about her aspirations, and how it’s been observing the financial crisis through a Chinese lens.

Why did you decide to do an MBA in China?

I wanted to switch careers from business unit control (primarily accounting and control) to private equity. There is substantial and increasing private equity activity in China compared to Singapore, which is why I am committed to building a career in China.

By doing an MBA in China, I can re-tool my skill sets, gain some China-specific knowledge of its economy and industries, and network with China-focused individuals. Doing an MBA in China also gives me adequate time and opportunity to form friendships and bonds in China.

Has studying in China given you a unique perspective on global finance?

Yes, studying in China has given me a unique perspective on global finance. One example is to learn about and to see first-hand the Chinese perspective on the current financial crisis.

How have your professors been addressing the changes in the global  finance sector?

Some professors have expressed their view that the US has to change its spending on credit behavior and increase its savings rate and, at the same time, the Chinese have to save and invest less but spend more in order for the current vicious cycle to be broken. This stems from their view that the BOP deficit that the US keeps with the Chinese was funded by the money that the US obtained from China by the sale of US T-bills. This way, excess credit was accessed by the US, over what they can really “afford” and thus planted the seed for the subprime loans disaster.

Studying in China has also given me the chance to hear what Chinese academics have to say about topical issues raised by those outside the country – for example the thorny topic of RMB appreciation. It is interesting and refreshing to hear the views of Chinese academics here as we discuss both sides of the issue.

How has the MBA has made you and your fellow  students more prepared and adaptable to working in a changing financial  sector?

The MBA program is different from a traditional masters program or an undergraduate program in which the students are not encouraged to or do not have past working experience to share with the other students. During the MBA program, we discuss and debate on the current issues amongst 180 of us and the professors every day. With the sharing of minds of so many individuals, we get different perspectives and hear different thoughts that we would otherwise not be able to when we were at work.

What are the new kinds of skills that will be demanded of  finance MBAs coming into the job market now and in the next few years?

The next few years are an interesting time for China as she moves from export orientation to an open economy and implementing reform policies on its exchange rates and capital controls. The gradual opening up of the banking sector in mainland China and China’s foreign exchange reforms present many opportunities for finance professionals in the near future.

With the negative impact of the financial crisis on several investment banks on Wall Street, and with the demand for securities work comparatively still flourishing in China, finance MBAs may need to be flexible pertaining to where their work will bring them. Finance MBAs may find more opportunities in China and thus may need language skills and the strong ability to assimilate and adapt to living and working in a country that has been described by its leaders as a “socialistic market economy.”
