K. Prasad. It was he who took the advantage of liberalized economy and the telecom policy of 1994. The need was to have telecom products that would revolutionise the burning need of Indian consumers. As a result it ventured into manufacturing and marketing of products of PCO (payphone) products in India, with a vision of excelling the best Technology feature based products. While Me. Prasad set the tone from a single PCO it rose and expanded to multi-range of PCO (payphone) products under the brand name of VISIONTEK. The product advantage pioneered by LINKWELL steered the company to spread its base to every nook and corner of India with a customer base of 100,000 plus. Linkwell Telesystems, a professionally managed company, entered the high potential field of telecommunications a decade ago that has admired the power of innovation.

{"title":"Construction of Consistent Forecasted Financial Statements (ConstruccióN De Estados Financieros Proyectados Y Consistentes)","authors":"Ignacio Vélez-Pareja","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.895821","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.895821","url":null,"abstract":"In order to value a firm or a project, it is necessary to construct estimated financial statements and free cash flows. In this teaching note we will present a spreadsheet model - EXCEL© - for forecasting financial statements in a consistent way and without using what is known as plugs. The simplest and coarse form of a plug in forecasting financial statements is to match the financial statements (in particular the Balance Sheet) creating a line or item to account for any difference that arises between total assets and liabilities plus debt in order to make the Balance Sheet to check. If total assets are greater than total liabilities plus equity, then the plug is a new line in the liabilities side. If lower, the plug is a line in the assets side. This is no only inappropriate, but it can hide mistakes when working with complex models such as those used by valuation analysts. We illustrate the procedure with an example that has some complexities. These complexities are explained in Section One. The purpose of this note is that the reader, following the instructions, could complete the example. Then, the readers are encouraged to read actively by constructing the financial statements for themselves on a spreadsheet. The relevant financial statements are: the Balance Sheet (BS), the Income statement (IS) and the Cash Budget (CB). The construction of the financial statements starts from policies and/or targets (i.e. accounts receivable policy or target) and input data that is specific for the firm or from the macroeconomic environment. With these targets or policies and data we can construct the financial statements. For valuation purposes, the balance sheet and the income statements are important but may be insufficient if we wish to construct the cash flow using the direct method. For that reason we construct the CB. From the table of parameters we construct tables that will be used in the construction of the main financial statements. In the main text we describe some complexities such as price-demand elasticity, the effect of book value leverage on the real growth and on accounts payable policy. We introduce the effect of accounts receivable policy on growth as well. We reproduce Excel© spreadsheet and in the last two columns we include the formulation than the reader should replicate and copy for the forecasting period. There are a few exceptions, but they will be announced.","PeriodicalId":174643,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship Educator: Courses","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130111054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars in behavioral accounting, finance, and economics have begun to investigate how novices and experts learn in a wide range of accounting and financial settings. This session provided an initial discussion of the different learning processes for accounting and finance students enrolled in online vs. in-class (face-to-face) formats. As educators, our primary goal is to facilitate the learning of our students. An emerging method of delivery known as online education, where the teacher and student may never have face-to-face contact; this online format is a increasingly provided by all different types of colleges and universities across the country. How does this alternate delivery method affect the learning process of students? Or does the learning technique of students have an influence on the way online courses are delivered? The focus of this session was to review the main studies within the literature of learning as it relates to online delivery and face-to-face delivery of courses. One outcome of the session was to share with participants the main themes and findings from this collection of studies. This discussion presented scholars with a future avenue of research and a valuable source for improving their own teaching experience.

We examine a traditional Japanese business philosophy focusing on Kamada Issou (1712-1804), and explore its moral implications for modern Japanese management. Ishida Baigan (1685-1744) set up Shingaku, a kind of Japanese business philosophy or practical business ethics, which was, after his death, ideologically separated into two schools; the one by Teshima Toan, the main stream, while the other by Saito Zenmon. Kamada Issou was a direct disciple of Saito Zenmon. Though Kamada Issou published ten books about practical business ethics, he is virtually unknown. Therefore, it is very hard to have access to researches on Kamada Issou. In particular, we may say it is almost impossible to find research documents on his management philosophy besides the one by Yasukazu Takenaka. This paper examines his business philosophy revealed in his main works; \"Baiboku Sensei Konuka Dawara\", \"Baiboku Sensei Konuka Dawara Kouhen\", \"Ame no Harema\", \"Ma no Atari\", \"Aribekakari\", and explores the implications of his philosophy for modern Japanese management.","PeriodicalId":174643,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship Educator: Courses","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129895707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
