Scientific Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Economics - Foreign Trade Theory, Trade Policy, grade: 97.5%, Ottawa University, course: Multinational Business Policy, language: English, abstract: Stemming from the ongoing globalization, the process of global integration and international trade has accelerated ever since. Where back in the days the trade was more or less bounded to inter-regional trade with customers, partners and countries in close proximity, nowadays goods are shipped throughout the world, costs of transportation have decreased, time to market has increased and thus the needs and desires can be served almost instantly throughout the world particularly because of the continuous support of the WTO, where "e;a plethora of bilateral and regional trading and economic cooperation agreements have been mushrooming globally, and increasingly in the Asia-Pacific, generating a wave of "e;new regionalism"e; in Asia"e; (Sen; Srivastava 2009: 194). Concerned by the Asian financial crisis in 1997-1998, the ASEAN countries were under the impression of a slowdown in pace of trade liberalization and thus this put pressure on these countries to engage sustainably in mutual beneficial trade and economic integration. By that, "e;at a theoretical level regional economic integration is being taken to mean deepening of intra-regional trade, expansion of mutual foreign direct investment (FDI) and harmonization of commercial regulations, standards and practices."e; (Ekanayake; Veeramacheneni 2009: 2). This proceeding integration in ASEAN has mainly been motivated by the intention to create an attractive production base and to satisfy the rising competitive challenge on the part of China and India for both, domestic and foreign companies. (Hew; Sen 2004: 1-2). The impact especially of the ASEAN countries has raised over time, mainly in comparison to the OECD countries. "e;At the same time that developing Asia"e;s share in ASEAN trade has been rising substantially (from about one-third to nearly one-half of total ASEAN exports and imports over the 1990-2004 period), the share of major OECD countries has fallen commensurately."e; (Naya; Plummer 2006: 231). As a reason for that "e;both trade and financial liberalization are believed to have propelled faster the long-run economic growth of the East Asian economies."e; (Masron; Yusop 2008: 292).

Scientific Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1.3, University of Paderborn, course: International Finance, language: English, abstract: In the aftermath of various crises such as the Asian financial crisis at the end of the nineties, which had a huge impact on the national and globalized political economies worldwide, a process of massive reserve accumulation started, especially in East Asia [Bar-Ilan/Marion 2009: 802]. This process of reserve accumulation initiated a rapid change of the world's pattern causing changing demands that need to be handled since the beginning of the new century. The so called globalized world realized that not only the power they were given to affect own policies and long term contingency approaches should be taken into account, but also they had to admit that intergovernmental interaction needs to play a decisive role in every deliberation of political and financial activity. Having the present economic situation in mind, almost every day new banks and financial institutions are collapsing while driving down the world further in a downward spiral. Obviously, the confidence and reliance on the conceptual skills concerning financial matters is suffering tremendously ever since these crises and need to be reestablished contemporarily in order to stimulate the indispensable demand for goods and services. Since 1997, the emerging markets have boosted their international reserve holdings by 60% [Walters/Cruz 2008: 665] and even the developing nations increased their foreign exchange reserves from around 8% in the 80s to almost 30% of GDP in 2004 [Rodrik 2006: 4]. Therefore, this paper will have a closer look on what the immanent theoretical justifications declare from the economical point of view and clarify what effects this process has especially on the Brazilian economy. The reason for having this discussion is the fact that reserve inadequacy could affect individual countries differently and thereby each country opted to hold more reserves than others and it seemed only natural to ask at what point reserves became inadequate; or indeed excessive [Bird/Rajan 2003: 873]. Consecutively the different reason and goals for performing reserve accumulation will be discussed in an idiosyncratic sense.

Project Report from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, Ottawa University (-), course: International Marketing, language: English, abstract: Canadian businesses have been shaped around the needs of its citizens for as long as it can be remembered. One can only imagine how the Canadian winters, the landscape, and the large territory of the country has shaped the culture of Canadian citizens. This inability to move around as freely as one could wish for during the cold winters for example has created opportunities for companies to develop products and services to Canadians in order to adapt to their needs. Bombardier Inc. more specifically was not only able to create a product that met the needs of Canadians, but was also a key player in the revolution of transportation in Canada and around the world. Through the company s development, Bombardier Inc. met many challenges which forced it to adapt to change quickly. This ability has been a key component of its success, a strength that has no doubt created a worldwide reputation for the company. In fact, a survey given to over 2,244 Canadians determined that Bombardier was the third company in Canada with the best corporate reputation. This result places the company on the top tier of companies worldwide with strong reputations (Cowan, 2010). The purpose of this paper is to analyse how Bombardier was able to build a strong reputation of its brand. The research will focus on analysing the company s engagement in international marketing, more specifically in an emerging country such as India.
