Abstract:Developing countries are no strangers to financial crises. The proclivity to crisis and to financial boom-bust cycles was especially evident in more financially open and deregulated developing economies. It is now well known that financial liberalization has resulted in an increase in financial fragility in developing countries, making them prone to periodic financial and currency crises, not just internal banking and related crises, and currency crises stemming from more open capital accounts. Greater freedom to invest, including in sensitive sectors such as real estate and stock markets, ability to increase exposure to particular sectors and individual clients and increased regulatory forbearance all lead to increased instances of financial failure. In addition, the emergence of universal banks or financial supermarkets increases the degree of entanglement of different agents within the financial system and increases the domino effects of individual financial failures.
Key Words:currency, crisis, economy, investment,

A new variable Consistency Score has also been used as an indicator of consistent financial performance by companies using best practices..

Abstract:This study aims to examine the application of Total Quality Management (TQM) in a variety of manufacturing companies located in the Industrial Area Makassar in South Sulawesi, Indonesia to see its effect on organizational performance, both directly and indirectly through the mediating variable of organizational culture of the company. Hypothesized that TQM affect organizational performance directly and indirectly through the mediating variable of organizational culture. This hypothesis was derived from nine sub-hypotheses that are constructed in Structural Equation Model and verified by using path analysis. Results from this early stage of confirmatory research revealed that there is no significant direct influence of TQM implementation in various manufacturing companies. However, TQM significantly affect organizational performance via a mediating variable of organizational culture. Thus, current research unearth four interesting findings, in which three of them point to the significance of TQM implementation on organizational culture, organizational culture on organizational performance, and TQM implementation on organizational performance through organizational culture. Finally it was found out that TQM implementation is not directly significant to organizational performance..
