The Islamic Debt Market for Sukuk Securities

The Theory and Practice of Profit Sharing Investment

The relatively new sukuk (or Islamic debt securities) markets have grown to more than US $800 billion over the past decade, and continue to grow at a rate of around 20-30 per cent per year. Arguably the first of its kind, this path-breaking book provides a highly unique reference tool relating to key issues surrounding sukuk markets, which are found in 12 major financial centres, including Kuala Lumpur, London and Zurich. The internationally renowned contributors present an in-depth study of sukuk securities, beginning with a comprehensive definition and history. They go on to discuss Islamic financial concepts and practices that govern how sukuk securities are issued, how markets are carefully regulated to protect investors, and how securities are designed to safeguard invested money. The prospects and challenges of developing sukuk Islamic debt markets across the world are also illustrated. This comprehensive guide to sukuk markets will prove a fascinating and useful reference tool for academics, students, researchers and practitioners with an interest in Islamic finance, and, more specifically, in the nascent field of sukuk securities.

Implementation of an IT Balanced Scorecard

Theory and Application

Master's Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1, University of Salzburg (International Executive MBA General Management (Upgrade)), language: English, abstract: Information technology (IT) plays a major role in today’s companies. Although, in most firms IT does not generate the core customer value itself, it rather supports creating additional customer value or enables cost efficiency of business processes. This is why IT departments are viewed in most cases as service centres of companies, providing a defined set of services for as low costs as possible. But, service centres should still strive to provide only these services which are necessary for supporting the company’s strategy. In the beginning of information technology, IT departments defined the quality and quantity of services provided for the firm. Also, innovations concerning IT, evolved mostly within the IT department. This was because only IT-staff has known the range of possibilities IT was able to offer. A major problem of the IT department defining the quality of service was that many improvements have been made for the sake of IT only and have not been aligned to the strategy of the company. Therefore, many resources of a company have been wasted in IT departments. However, for today’s businesses it is essential that IT enables only corporate strategies in order to remain effective. Caused by the current financial crisis, uncertain times for businesses are expected. This makes strategy alignment and execution of IT departments even more significant in order to stay efficient and effective. But, a recent survey carried out by McKinsey & Company shows that there are still enormous potentials for improving the performance of IT departments. For example the survey shows that the basic services are met quite well by many IT departments, but the big challenges for supporting the business, still remain. Also, 67% of all respondents of the survey (chief information officers and senior executives) think that the business and IT strategy are not tightly integrated in their company. (cf. McKinsey 2008) Consequently, strategy alignment of business and IT as well as strategy execution are not simple tasks. Processes which are supporting the strategy effectively have to be defined and controlled constantly. Controlling tangible assets, which affect the strategy, might turn out to be fairly complex, controlling intangible assets is even more difficult. [...]

This is why IT departments are viewed in most cases as service centres of companies, providing a defined set of services for as low costs as possible.

Tax Amnesties

Theory, Trends, and Some Alternatives

Tax amnesties remain as popular as ever as a tool for raising revenue and increasing tax compliance. International experience, however, shows that the costs of tax amnesty programs often exceed the programs’ benefits. This paper weighs the advantages and disadvantages of tax amnesties, drawing on results from the theoretical literature, econometric evidence, and selected country and U.S. state case studies. The authors conclude that “successful” tax amnesties are the exception rather than the norm. Improvements in tax administration are the essential ingredient in addressing the main problems that tax amnesties seek to address. Indeed, the most successful amnesty programs rely on improving the tax administration’s enforcement capacity. ?Given the potential drawbacks of tax amnesties, a few alternative measures are discussed.

In this section we analyze the recent trends in tax amnesties, and some evidence
is provided regarding their revenue and compliance effects. The first section is
devoted to a review of the econometric literature on the (mainly revenue) effect of

The Foundations of International Investment Law

Bringing Theory into Practice

International investment law is one of the fastest growing areas of international law. It has led to the signing of thousands of agreements, mostly in the form of investment contracts and bilateral investment treaties. Also, in the last two decades, there has been an exponential growth in the number of disputes being resolved by investment arbitration tribunals. Yet the legal principles at the basis of international investment law and arbitration remain in a state of flux. Perhaps the best illustration of this phenomenon is the wide disagreement among investment tribunals on some of the core concepts underpinning the regime, such as investment, property, regulatory powers, scope of jurisdiction, applicable law, or the interactions with other areas of international law. The purpose of this book is to revisit these conceptual foundations in order to shed light on the practice of international investment law. It is an attempt to bridge the growing gap between the theory and the practice of this thriving area of international law. The first part of the book focuses on the 'infrastructure' of the investment regime or, more specifically, on the structural arrangements that have been developed to manage foreign investment transactions and the potential disputes arising from them. The second part of the book identifies the common conceptual bases of an array of seemingly unconnected practical problems in order to clarify the main stakes and offer balanced solutions. The third part addresses the main sources of 'regime stress' as well as the main legal mechanisms available to manage such challenges to the operation of the regime. Overall, the book offers a thorough investigation of the conflicting theoretical positions underlying international investment law, testing their worth by reference to concrete issues that have arisen in the jurisprudence. It demonstrates that many of the most important practical questions arising in practice can be addressed by a carefully dosed resort to theory.
