Junior Analyst Burnout

This paper explores the issue of burnout among junior analysts in the finance industry, specifically focusing on the role of workplace motivation in contributing to this issue. The review draws on a range of studies and literature related to burnout, motivation, and management practices in the finance industry, analyzing the factors that contribute to junior analyst burnout and identifying effective management practices that can help reduce burnout and promote a positive work culture. The review highlights the importance of adopting a Theory Y management approach that prioritizes employee empowerment, autonomy, and self-direction in addressing burnout among junior analysts. The findings suggest that providing opportunities for professional development and growth and delegating tasks and responsibilities to employees are effective management practices that can reduce burnout and promote a positive work culture for junior analysts in the finance industry. The review concludes by recommending a multifaceted approach that involves adopting effective management practices, providing support and resources to junior analysts, and promoting a positive work culture to address the issue of burnout in the finance industry

Hypersonic Conceptual Design Tool Comparison

The many iterations needed to explore a design space in the conceptual design process preclude the use of time-consuming RANS CFD for all but a few flight conditions. This research focuses on identifying the level of fidelity needed to adequately predict the aerothermodynamic characteristics of hypersonic vehicles. Three tools with differing levels of fidelity – CBAERO, Cart3D, and Kestrel – were used to analyze the Generic Hypersonic Vehicle (GHV) at the design condition of Mach 5.85 and an off-design condition of Mach 4.5. The results are representative of the different design tools but are not definitive due to the mesh size in Kestrel being limited by the available computational resources. The results obtained show a large difference in the unstart threshold predicted by inviscid and viscous CFD: 21° vs 11.75° degrees for Mach 5.85 and 14.5° vs 6.5° for Mach 4.5. Despite that difference, all three methods showed reasonable agreement for CL, CD, and CM across the entire range. The medium-fidelity method, Cart3D, was also capable of matching Kestrel’s mass capture below the unstart threshold. The heat flux from the reference temperature method with Cart3D overestimated the heat flux on the bottom surface and underestimated heat flux on the top surface compared to Kestrel. At low angles of attack it appears to provide a heat flux estimate with a natural factor of safety, but it risks leading to overdesigning at higher angles of attack. The high-fidelity method, Kestrel, only showed significant differences from the lower fidelity methods in the unstart threshold, L/D, mass capture after unstarting, and heat flux at high angle of attack

The Impact of Taxes on Foreign Direct Investments

The role of taxation in the area of foreign direct investment and economic growth has been the topic of many studies. With the effect of newly enacted corporate tax reform in the United States the impact will become the topic of many future studies. This paper will review the common factors used to correlate the impact of corporate taxation on Foreign Direct Investment decision making. The purpose of this research is to review and outline the sensitivity to taxation based on a multiplicity of economic factors that will include taxation on the return on investment and global profits. For the purposes of this research only indirect taxes haven been considered. The conclusions, recommendations and implications reached in this study are generalizable and appropriate for use in developing best practice solutions

Motives For Employee Profit Sharing Schemes In The U.S., U.K. And Canada

This paper discusses different motives for profit sharing adoption in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., and analyzes employment-based factors that could contribute to these differences. Motives for profit sharing are classified into two groups: motivational and non-motivational. A theoretical model is presented that suggests a firm’s ability to use profit sharing for non-motivational purposes is limited by the status of domestic employment-related factors. The analytical review indicates that the non-motivational use of profit sharing is limited by the status of employment-related factors in each of the studied countries. However, the non-motivational use of profit sharing is probable if higher labor productivity is expected through other means. Implication of the results is discussed for future studies in this area

U.S. Taxation Of The Value Of Executive Services Performed For Multinational Joint Ventures

Domestic U. S. businesses forming a joint venture with a commonly-controlled foreign affiliates need always to take into account transfer pricing rules, whereby any income, deductions, or credits or one may be reallocated from one of the businesses to the other. This problem provides special concerns with regards to compensation for executive services, where calculation of an arm’s length amount is more difficult, and where other contractual rights may have an impact on the determination of the arm’s length amount. The concept of transfer pricing rules with regard to services was first addressed in 1968 regulations, after which there were temporary regulations in 2003 that were finalized in 2009. However, there are still many issues that have not been addressed, that will need to be resolved in a future set of regulations
