Abstract:One of the most profound and far-reaching financial phenomenon in the late twentieth century and the forepart of this century is the explosive growth in international financial transactions and capital flows among various financial markets in developed and developing countries. This phenomenon in international finance is not only a result of the liberalization of capital markets in developed and developing countries and the increasing variety and complexity of financial instruments, but also a result of the increasing relativity of the developing and developed economies as developing countries become more integrated in international flows of trade and payments. More freedom in the moving of capital flows improves the allocation of capital globally, allowing resources to move to areas with higher rates of return. Contrarily,

Abstract: The South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation (SAARC), consisting of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Srilanka, was established in 1985 with the objective of raising the standards of living in the region through greater economic co-operation among member countries. The growing recognition of social indicators and their direct relationship with country's human development lead greater emphasis on nations to seek not only economic but social cooperation. The areas of cooperation should also cover human development that current discourse on the subject emphases.

Abstract: Recently digital signage is gathering attention as a new type of media because of its only features. With this media we can select the time and places to advertise and we can advertise attractively by using a display. Universities are also trying to use this media in their campuses. But there is a problem that the viewing rate of this media is still rather poor. One reason for this is that universities have not been able to accurately grasp the needs of students. In this study, we identify the factors that lead to visibility improvements by cluster analysis and factor analysis. After identifying the factors we create new contents considering the analysis result and verify them by brain wave measurement. Then we use these insights to boost the visual interest of digital signage at universities.

Abstract: Entrepreneur is someone who perceives opportunity, organizes resources needed, takes initiative, and accepts risk of failure. Intrapreneur is an entrepreneur within an already established organization.As innovation is increasingly recognized as a vital component of entrepreneurship, researchers and educators struggle to reform enterprise pedagogy. To help in the effort to analyze the impact of competencies on business success, the researcher uses a personality test and open-ended interviews to explore the presence of the competency innovation between two groups- entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs. The term intrapreneur has been used interchangeably with employee during the analysis stage.
