One of the most profitable opportunities is created by a argue influx of capital is a chance to delve into research and development. The capital from an PIP could also be used for capital expenditures or be used to pay off old debt. Acquisitions When a company acquires another, ultimately the parent company gains. Increased revenue and a decrease In expenses and salaries would be the first gain. The decrease of expenses and salaries would be from a reduction of back-office staff, such as marketing and accounting (Local, 2013).

Another plus for the acquiring company would be the skilled employees from the acquired company. The biggest opportunity for the parent company would be the acquired market share. This also increases the parent company’s revenue. Effects of globalization on financial decisions: Opportunities arise when options such as merging, staring an acquisition or PIP are then set In place for the growth of any company. When opportunities can be conversed, they have most of the threats following afterwards. When the Leaflet Trading Company decided going public, it then was present with appealing opportunities.

One example Is selling the common stock to help raise the funds to hen expand or go global as a company. As some advantages of being the PIP, you are a stronger capital base company. You also have the ability to increase the financial prospects and keep a better situated with the calculations. As the owners begin diversification, they will have an executive compensation to help with increasing the company’s gains. When they became an PIP, this meant a stronger capital base with products that can have a wide geographical area. Leaflet can buy and sell their goods and any related items that they focus on.

The opportunity to aka over other related companies or “acquisition” say, Gordon Food Service (SGF) place then there would be a threat of too much debt. Leaflet is not ready for a takeover of the fruit and vegetable so there will be issues within the company. Factors that contribute to exchange rate risks: Having any, executive compensation to the company will always have a threat of great payouts to others. General Motors (MM) is a great example of a company that has great payouts. GM had four top executives/chief executive officers (CEO) fall into the “bankrupt” bailout.

This was to cover-up the salary of over a billion dollars that could have been used for others. GM stayed in the (red) not profiting side of financial well- being more so on paper most likely to avoid astronomical taxes, but in the end they still made the same product but year after year they were not cutting Jobs/positions that were a hole in Gem’s pocket. This is an extreme example but simply to put a point across on the payout for executive compensation. Last on the list of approach opportunities is Merger. Mergers Many of the same strengths also apply for when two companies merge.

A merger also creates a greater buying power for a company because they could get discounts for buying in larger quantities (Schemata, 2013). The big opportunity here would be the diversification of products and services. The diversification could also increase the market share for the newly formed company. Mitigating Exchange Risk Mess are exposed to many forms of risk in their course of business, such as interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, and natural disasters. These could result in financial loss and minimize their profit.

Since Mess work on tighter budgets than argue firms, and have weaker capital base, losses through exposure to various risks can result in more severe impact on profits and operating efficiencies for Mess than for large firms. (Export) Foreign exchange risk in particular, impacts firms engaged in exporting, importing, and borrowing in foreign currency. Rupee appreciation benefits importers as it decreases rupee prices of imported goods and harms exporters as it increases foreign currency prices of exported goods. Rupee depreciation harms borrowers who take loans in foreign currencies that are cheaper than Indian loans.
