Determinants of Corporate Cash Holdings: Evidence from MNCs in Pakistan
Authors: Sheikh Nadeem Ahmed , Mehmood Khawaja Khalid , Kamal Mujtaba
Published: September 2018

The purpose of this article is to investigate whether firm-specific variables (i.e. size, growth opportunities, profitability, capital expenditures, leverage, dividends, cash flow and working capital) affect the cash holdings of MNCs. Moreover, to investigate whether theories relevant to cash holdings provide any justification to narrate the cash holding behavior of listed MNCs on Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) for the period 2006-2016. Results indicate that profitability positively impacts cash holdings. Firm size positively impacts cash holdings in pooled Ordinary Least Squares, while it negatively impacts cash holdings in the fixed effects method; however the relationship is insignificant. Leverage, growth opportunities, dividends, working capital ratio and capital expenditures are significant and negatively related to corporate cash holdings. Finally, cash flows are unrelated to cash holdings. In short, results indicate that firm-specific variables significantly affect the cash holdings of MNCs. Moreover, (+/-) coefficients of different explanatory variables indicate that theories relevant to cash holdings provide some support to explain the cash holding behavior of MNCs in an emerging economy - Pakistan.

Employment Situation and Economic Exploitation of Poor Earning
Women in Rawalpindi
Authors: Balquees Faiz , Hamid Shaiinaz
Published: September 2018

This paper is based on survey data collected for the project
"Socio-economic Profile of Poor Urban Women in Rawalpindi". The
objective of this paper is to show that the poor and illiterate have
limited work opportunities, they usually face a double-day burden and
they are exploited economically. Realizing their own hardships these
women have definite opinions with regard to the future employment
opportunities of their daughters. The total sample consists of 385
households of which the women actually working at the time of the survey
were only 176. Thirty two women reported having stopped work due to very
low payments. Amongst the remaining 177 non-working women 55 were
prohibited from undertaking paid employment by the family and/or
husbands. The paper is structured as follows: Section" describes the
work and payment patterns of these women. In Section 111 we look at the
major reasons put forward for taking up the major activity. Section IV
looks at the work load of women working for income compared to the
non-earni'1g women. It is important to see whether the earning activity
saddles the working women with a double-day burden or whether her
domestic responsibilities are shared by the husband and the rest of Ihe
family. We would also look at the work aspirations of these working
women for their daughters. Finally, Section V summarises the paper and
presents policy recommendations.
Determinants of Debt Problem in Pakistan and its Debt-servicing
Capacity
Authors: Burney Nadeem A.
Published: September 2018

In the last decade, Pakistan's external debt obligations have
risen to an unprecedented level. This is despite the fact that the
country had been able to borrow on concessional terms from international
organizations and foreign governments unlike many other developing
countries. The situation has raised concern about the viability of the
strategy of excessive dependence on foreign sources and the problems it
poses for sustainable growth. Between 1970 and 1980 Pakistan's external
debt grew at an average rate of 11.3 percent. Althol1gh, during the
Eighties it has grown at a much slower rate, i.e. 2.37 percent, but by
1986-87 the level of total external debt had reached more than 12
billion U.S. dollars. A notable feature of this change has been that
since the mid-Seventies the debt service payments have increased at a
much faster rate compared with the outstanding debt.
The Economic Rate of Return in Small and Household Manufacturing
Industries
Authors: Mahmood Mir Annice , Sahibzada Shamim A.
Published: September 2018

Small-scale and Household Manufacturing Industry can
contribute to economic development by providing employment; creating
jobs with low capital costs: building up a reservoir of skilled and
semi-skilled labour; reducing income disparities as small-scale
manufacturing is widespread and not concentrated in any specific area or
region; developing indigenous technology and raising saving and
investment within the country rather than being dependent on external
sources. Small-scale manufacturing is also a potential breeding ground
for the development of entrepreneurial talent which is of great
importance in accelerating the developmental process. In Pakistan, the
importance of the small-scale manufacturing industry has not been given
its due recognition. The various five-year plans mention small-scale
industry but focus their main attention in other areas. For example, to
quote from the First Five-Year Plan (1955 - 60):

Pvt. Ud., 1989. 338 pp.Price Rs 95.00 (Softbound Edition).
Authors: Qureshi Sarfarz K.
Published: September 2018

This book deals with an important but relatively little
discussed aspect of industrial development in the context of a
developing economy. The subject-matter chosen for analysis is that of
the efficacy of controls over industry in India. The author provides a
detailed and insightful analysis of the issue in its historical context,
particularly since India's independence in 1947. Based on an insider's
experience, the book makes an important contribution to the often
neglected field of industrial policy. The central thesis advanced by the
author is that the State has played a dominant role in industrial
development by way of ownership and/or management of some of the key
industries, the granting of industrial incentives, and an elaborate and
complicated regulatory system. There have been shifts in emphasis
between these three main instruments of state intervention in industrial
development over time. Nonetheless, it is argued that currently Indian
industry is overregulated, public sector industries are mismanaged, and
the economic environment for the working of both private and public
sector industries is inimical to their efficient working and growth. The
broad approach adopted provides for a discussion of objectives, policy
instruments, and the intended and unintended impact of different
instruments of state intervention in industrial development. The wide
discrepancy between the objectives and the results is shown to be a
major failing of the past industrial policies in the context of the
Indian development experience.

In the period 1965 to 1985, the per capita consumption in the
developing world went up by almost 70 percent. Yet one billion of the
people in the developing countries today are living in poverty [World
Development Report (1990)]. Despite the growth in incomes and
consumption, the problem of poverty is enormous. In most development
models a large reserve of low-paid workers (often rural based) is seen
as a precondition for industrialization (often urban based), which in
turn is seen as synonymous with development. It is the exploitation of
these workers to generate the surpluses necessary for growth in the
urban growth centres that forms the basis of policy in most developing
countries. The very processes that generate this growth also make these
workers the most vulnerable to poverty. And if stagnation or recession
sets in, the results are disasterous. The book under review makes an
effective contribution to focusing attention on the issues of urban
poverty and the labour market.
A Paradigm Shift on the role of CIOâ€™s in Cloud and IOT based Organizations
Authors: Thoomkuzhy Jipson George , Nazeh Mohammed
Published: September 2018

Cloud computing and IOT has transformed the way organizations across industries work. This review paper researched the role of the global CIO regarding their key employment capacities and their basic abilities and competencies which are required all together for a CIO to accomplish unrivaled hierarchical execution of the future business condition. The discoveries of this review will give insight to five key employment capacities and the basic competencies which we accept are fundamental to the role of the global CIO in the present and future business condition. The discoveries will additionally show that the global CIO role is winding up progressively and is key in driving development, hierarchical change and technological change. Consequently, the global CIO should be a visionary vital leader with eminent relational abilities and business keenness and the capacity to team up evenly over the central business capacities and with key business accomplices.About Six CIO interviews directed by the CIO Executive Council were investigated and reviewed as far as past journals which had recognized various key employment capacities and basic abilities and competencies for the role of a global CIO.The role of the Chief Information officer (CIO) has turned out to be progressively testing and mind-boggling as data correspondences innovation has turned out to be essential for most organizations. To date, there has been little research which has exactly inspected the roles and the basic competencies of the global CIO. An online overview of CIOs affirmed the significance of CIO competencies and highlighted the basic ones. An arrangement of the basic competencies of CIOs was analyzed in this review.The key discoveries demonstrate that the role of the global CIOs has progressed toward becoming progressively business engaged and vital in cloud and IOT based organizations. Eventually, how a CIO leads and deals with his/her ICT staff will enormously impact how effective a CIO is in the role. Be that as it may, the CIO still requires the knowledge of key innovation skills so, individual information or access to additional abilities is also essential in their role

Dimana dalam pasal 33 ayat (2) UUD 1945 dinyatakan: "Cabang-cabang produksi yang penting bagi negara dan yang menguasai hidup orang banyak dikuasai oleh negara." Namun sebagian penguasaan negara terhadap energi kelistrikan dianulir oleh Undang-Undang Nomor 30 Tahun 2009 tentang Ketenagalistrikan, misalnya dalam Pasal 11 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Nomor 30 Tahun 2009 tentang Ketenagalistrikan menyatakan: "Usaha penyediaan tenaga listrik untuk kepentingan umum sebagaimana dimaksud dalam Pasal 10 ayat (1) dilaksanakan oleh badan usaha milik negara, badan usaha milik daerah, badan usaha swasta, koperasi, dan swadaya masyarakat yang berusaha di bidang penyediaan tenaga listrik." Namun dengan ditetapkan putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi perkara nomor: 111/PUU-XIII/2015, penguasaan negara dan BUMN di bidang ketenagalistrikan kembali dikukuhkan dan dikuatkan dengan putusan tersebut.Electric power is one important requirement for today's society.

Penafsiran hukum merupakan salah satu cara yang dilakukan dapat oleh hakim saat menangani atau menyelesaikan problem yuridis yang dihadapkan atau dimohonkan kepadanya. Hakim konstitusi sudah seringkali melakukan penafsiran hukum terhadap permohonan uji materiil Undang-undang yang dinilai oleh pemohon bertentangan dengan Undang-undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia. Penafsiran yang dilakukan hakim konstitusi ini membuat konstitusi menjadi lebih bermakna. Kebermaknaan (kemanfaatan) konstitusi ini dapat terbaca dalam putusannya terkait judicial review terhadap Undang-undang Migas. Dalam putusan hakim konstitusi ini, interpretasi yang digunakannya mampu memberikan tekanan kepada negara supaya serius menunjukkan keseriusannya dalam mebongkar praktik-praktik mafia migas. Negara memang akhirnya menunjukkan iktikad baiknya dengan membangun tata kelola migas yang baik, namun seiring dengan itu, terbukti bahwa interpretasi hakim konstitusi terbukti, bahwa salah satu kejahatan serius di Indonesia adalah korupsi migas.
Putusan Nomor 74/PUU-XII/2014 dan Standar Konstitusional Dispensasi Perkawinan
Authors: Tobroni Faiq
Published: September 2018

Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK) Nomor 74/PUU-XII/2014 meninggalkan harapan yang belum terpenuhi, yakni rumusan standar konstitusional sebagai pertimbangan dalam pemberian dispensasi umur perkawinan. Makalah ini akan menjawab alasan mengapa MK menolak merumuskannya? dan bagaimana standar konstitusional yang bisa dirumuskan? MK menolak permohonan pemohon judicial review untuk menjadikan kehamilan di luar perkawinan sebagai satu-satunya standar pemberian dispensasi umur perkawinan. Penolakan ini mengisyaratkan MK menganggap bahwa hal itu merupakan open legal policy; suatu saat bisa berubah sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan konteks masyarakat. MK juga tidak menggunakan UUD 1945 untuk merumuskan rumusan standar konstitusional dispensasi perkawinan karena hal itu harus ditempuh melalui legislative review. Sebagai tawaran dari penulis dalam legislative review, standar konstitusionalnya bisa dirumuskan melalui pendekatan hukum non sistematik dan pembacaan maqashid syari’ah. Pertimbangannya harus memperhatikan perlindungan kepentingan agama (Pasal 28E ayat (1) UUD 1945), kepentingan kepastian hukum bagi pelaku (Pasal 28D ayat (1) UUD 1945), kebebasan kehendak dan keyakinan (Pasal 28E ayat (2) UUD 1945), kepentingan kesejahteraan hidup (Pasal 28H ayat (1) UUD 1945), dan hak asasi yang dimiliki keturunan (Pasal 28B ayat (1) UUD 1945).The decision of Constitutional Court Number 74/PUU-XII/2014 leaves the unmet expectations, which is the standard for an exemption in marital age. The paper will provide the answer to the reason why the Court refused to set the standard? And how the Court should formulate it as the constitutional standards? The Court rejected the petitioner arguments in the judicial review case to make pre-marital pregnancy as the only standard to set an exemption of marital age. It suggests that the Court considers it is an “open legal policy”; where the policy may change according to the needs of society. The Court also did not use the Constitution to give the interpretation on the constitutional standard in marital exemption because it must be pursued by way of review by the parliament. The author offers, in term of legislative review, that the standards can be formulated through a non-systematic legal approach and the interpretation of maqashid syari’ah. The arguments should pay attention to the protection of religious interests (Article 28E (1) of the Constitution), the interests of legal certainty of the citizens (Article 28D (1) of the Constitution), free will and belief (Article 28E (2) of the Constitution), the welfare (Article 28H (1) of the Constitution), and the rights of descendants (Article 28B (1) of the 1945 Constitution).
