The primary purpose of this paper is to highlight the pros and cons associated with working from home policies, and how these policies differ across countries and cultures. Design/Methodology/Approach: Opinions of practitioners and examples of some leading controversial working from home policies have been discussed in detail. Findings: Culture has a significant impact on the flexible work arrangement policies. Although many companies endorse some degree of flexibility for employees, companies with a control-oriented culture still struggle with working from home.
<p>The subject of liquidity-profitability interchange is well recognized in the literature. This study was conducted to inspect the trade-off between liquidity and profitability in private sector banks of Pakistan. The study was carried on twenty two private sector banks registered under State bank of Pakistan during the time period of 2009-2013. Three models were specified and estimated using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) technique. The empirical results revealed that there is a statistically significant relationship between bank liquidity measures and return on assets. However, when return on equity and return on investment was used as proxy for profitability, the relationship became statistically insignificant. It has been recommended that the banks should assess and restructure their strategies for managing liquidity. This will not only improve yields on shareholders equity but will also enhance the use of the assets of the bank.</p>
Stock markets are a reflector of trade and economic prosperity across the globe, it comprised of multiple physical and mental components. Economists featured investors and their handsome cash balances among fundamental elements of capital markets. Financial experts along with practitioners developed economic models to engage shareholders by portraying historical performance and future benefits of securities. The present study attempted to investigate the potential of inflation rate for causing market returns under the concept of Ross (1976) pricing theory. CPI is used as a proxy of inflation and KSE returns for measuring securities behaviors. Low inflationary (2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004) and High inflationary (2010-2014) durations as sample periods are privileged to empirically examine the twofold intensity of CPI toward index of Pakistani markets. Linear regression analysis declared inflation rate as a poor model for estimation of capital market returns, furthermore, CPI resulted in significant as well as the insignificant causal relationship with positive and negative intensity toward KSE returns.
