Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Personal Financial Planning / Sonya L. Britt / This dissertation explores the personal financial planning risk-assessment process. Specifically, the study has five main purposes: 1. Explore the associations among independent risk-assessment variables. 2. Explore the concept that prudent financial risk-assessment goes beyond estimating an individual’s risk tolerance. 3. Explore the impact that each risk variable has on an individual’s overall Comprehensive Risk Profile (CRP). 4. Construct a comprehensive method of risk-assessment to estimate an individual’s overall risk profile. 5. Develop a weighted risk profile score and assign it to a target asset allocation model. Risk-assessment is one of the most instrumental components of the financial planning process. Financial planners and advisors have a fiduciary, as well as a suitability, responsibility to assess the level of risk individuals should bear with respect to their financial plan (Morse, 1998). Because of this, the evaluation of one’s risk profile impacts the success of an individual’s financial plan. If the risk-assessment is accurate, financial goals will have a higher likelihood of being met. To date, little research in the personal financial planning field has attempted to model financial risk-taking behavior in a way that is useful for practitioners, academics, and policy makers. The literature has tended to focus on either models of risk-taking rooted in economic utility theory, or tests of hypotheses related to the association among demographic and socioeconomic factors and risk-taking (Grable & Lytton, 1998). Traditional economic models do not fully account for the role that personal, behavioral, and environmental factors play in influencing individuals’ behavior beyond maximizing their expected utility (Hanna & Chen, 1997). Researchers have yet to develop a risk-profiling system that uses these behavioral or personal factors, to describe an individual’s financial risk-taking framework. Ultimately, the results of this study will lead to a multidimensional, comprehensive, accurate method of risk-assessment for both academic researchers, as well as practitioners. The following will serve as the empirical model for the study.

The aim of this study is to certify the legitimacy of employing quantitative methods in the day-to-day business practice. The task is approached as a case study of a real-life financial planning process. I work with the financial data of POS Media Czech Republic (a media company providing point-of-sale advertising solutions). My intention is to simulate the projection of a pro forma income statement with the use of quantitative methods. More specifically, I am applying time series prediction techniques in order to forecast POS Media's sales. The goal is, first, to demonstrate that quantitative techniques can be handled even with limited statistical background and, second, to discuss the relevancy of the obtained results. In the methodical part of my thesis I deal with the theoretical aspects of financial planning. I further describe various methods of sales forecasting (qualitative vs. quantitative). Special emphasis is put on time series prediction methods. In the application part I provide a short description of POS Media and its business. I use time series decomposition techniques to predict POS Media's sales in 2012. Consequently, I outline the rest of the pro forma income statement.

中文摘要 台商大陸投資已成為每一企業為了降低生產成本的主要策略，隨著台灣環境的變化，例如勞工成本增加、環保意識抬頭、土地成本高漲以及大陸有廣大的市場及十二億的人力資源的吸引下，企業問普遍存在著「先行卡住」的觀念，從十年前的傳統產業外移到今天號稱「科技龍頭的台積電」亦宣稱未來將產業重心放在中國大陸。 由過去的大陸投資到現在及未來，台商均扮演十分舉足輕重的角色，不僅關係到企業本身的發展，同時在促進大陸經濟發展的同時也為台灣創造了外匯收入，但卻也有不少的聲音在呼籲企業要「根留台灣」、「戒急用忍」，而不是「錢進大陸、債留台灣」。 企業投資大陸既已是擋不住的風潮，本研究為探討台商大陸投資的資本取得問題，藉由對已經前往大陸投資的台商過去的經驗，瞭解台商企業面臨最多且最大的問題為資金的取得；為了解決資金取得的問題，有必要瞭解大陸、境外及台灣三地的資金供給情形，由瞭解直接金融、間接金融及外匯市場的現況。探討企業長短期融資及外匯避險的可行性，進而提出對於台商於進行大陸投資前後的財務規劃建議。 本研究亦提出對於大陸即將加入世貿組織及加入世貿組織後對金融機構可能的影響及未來發展的方向，以建議台商企業應重視未來大陸市場可能的變化，及早規劃因應之道，以免企業措手不及。 摘要 自1987年開放大陸探親後，同時亦開啟了台商另一個投資的新天地。跨國投資理論，在找尋的為更有利的生產要素及市場，島國的土地成本高、廠房面積不夠大、天然資源缺乏、勞工成本高漲、環保意識升高，市場更小；台商背負著遠離家園、深入不可知的環境獨自奮鬥，為的是有更美好的未來而努力，同時造就了台灣的經濟奇蹟。曾幾何時，在「戒急用忍」的約束下，台商被冠上奸商、商人無祖國等等苛責的言論，在責難之後，回頭想想，如果沒有這些拼命的台商，我們的競爭力在那裡呢? 台商在赴大陸投資，已由早期的傳統產業的去試試看，演變為今日的資本密集及技術密集的產業，試試看的心態亦轉變為「基於生存友競爭力的考量」非去不可；在第二章文獻探討中，了解各國政府對於企業海外投資，稟持共存共榮的原則，扮演的角色是積極的輔導與協助、簡化投資作業流程、教育企業投資前應有的認識，日本企業更是結合金融機構一起赴海外投資，過去我們政府的向南政策亦是以鼓勵為主。企業的不同成長過程所需的資金來自於不同層面，更會因時因地及政策而不同，中國大陸是屬於開發中國家，本身即以「招商引資」方式來促進國內的經濟發展，它能提供的是充分的天然資源及其他的生產要素，而非資金。台商對此應有所體認。 大陸地大物博，奉行的是社會主義，企業以國營居多，為了吸引外資，訂定了為數不少的外資獎勵政策及規定，有一般性及特殊適用的；台灣島國地小人稠，奉行的是資本主義及自由民主，對於台商至大陸投資除須遵守對外投資規定外，又有針對大陸投資需要遵守的；台商至大陸投資對於兩岸的規定比至其他地區投資煩瑣、政治風險亦高，為台商投資前應有所瞭解的。 本研究第四章將大陸目前的金融市場運行狀況及政策、台商可以使用的融資方式及可行性、外匯市場的避險方式及加入世貿組織後，在金融、期貨、證券等方面的原則做一整理，期望能提供台商投資前的參考規劃。 本研究同時以問卷調查及個案研究方式，一來證實台商於大陸經商的資金取得確實是有困難的，除了本身可以事前防範的例如聘用專業財務經理人、公司審批內容的注意等，另不可控制的大陸銀行及市場資金供需問題；隨著時間、經驗的累積及傳承，有經驗的台商已漸能因應。個案探討介紹了燦坤集團當年的孤注一擲，造就了日後資金取得的便利性，證實了高風險高報酬，亦證實經營績效支持財務操作的重要性。驊陞公司的財務黃副總，以多年的大陸經驗告訴我們與金融機構往來的一般情形及輔以境外公司操作財務及避險，使得該公司於大陸經營的資金供需並不困難。 最後，在歷經全球不景氣及歡呼加入世貿組織的時候，政府亦體認了要開放大陸投資政策，我們樂於見到政府對台商的支持，我們也期盼隨著加入世貿組織，台商於大陸經商得以享受「國民待遇」，但自立自強應是最基本的。 / Abstract The Mainland China Investment already been the major strategy of cost reduction for Taiwanese Enterprise, Owing to the Taiwan Investment Environment changes, for example like the increase of the labor cost 、 elevation of environmental awareness、highly increased cost of the land and the attractive of very large market and one point two billion human resource, “Occupy the position first” is the general concept among enterprises, ten years ago the export business are all classical business but now the “technical head TSMC” also says that the future business center will set up in Mainland China。 Due to the Taiwanese Enterprise act as a very important role of Mainland China Investment, not only related to enterprise expand, at the same time improve the Mainland China economic development and also invest earn more foreign exchange revenue for Taiwan, but a lot of voice cried for enterprise have to “leaving root in Taiwan”、“Be patient no hurry”、not“Money forward to Mainland China, Debt stay in Taiwan”。 The Investment in Mainland China is an non-stoppable fan for enterprise, this study is to discuss how to fetch the invested capital in Mainland China of Taiwan Enterprise, by learning the past experience of Taiwan Enterprise already invested,understand the major problem that Taiwan Enterprise faced is how to fetch the invested capital；in order to resolve the capital problem, it is necessary to understand the capital provide condition among Mainland China、offshore and Taiwan three area, by understand the direct financing、indirect financing and Foreign Exchange Market present status, we can study the possibility of enterprise long term and short term financing and foreign exchange risk avoidance, further provide the finance planning suggestion for The Investment in Mainland China of Taiwan Enterprise before and after the investment. This study also provides the possible influence and future development trend for banking after the Mainland China join the WTO. And the suggestion for Taiwan Enterprise should pay great attention to the possible change of the future market of Mainland China, and do planning ahead the way, in order to avoid be caught unprepared.

Corporate Financial Planning--A System Dynamic Approach.

When making financial planning, most people would allocate their assets into different accounts according to its usage, such as setting up education account and retirement account. It seems human nature to adopt segregated accounts for financial planning and it is argued that segregated accounts planning method serves the function of self-control. However, segregated accounts planning method violates standard finance theory that would suffer investment efficiency with unnecessary losses. This article focuses on analyzing financial planning methods of integrated account and segregated accounts in the point of view of behavioral finance. The finding is that integrated account planning method would not only help achieve financial efficiency but help people overcome psychological bias.

Until recently, personal financial management has become increasingly important for consumers as in the past. Literature indicates that consumers in rural and low-income areas are the most financially vulnerable and depends mostly on unsecured loans to finance their daily expenses. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the level of financial literacy among adults in Vhembe District Municipality in Limpopo, South Africa. The results indicate that the level of financial literacy among adults in Vhembe District Municipality is low (38.73%). The low levels of financial literacy have serious consequences for an adult’s personal financial management skills and lead to their inability to make correct financial decisions. The study concludes by suggesting interventions that could help adults to improve their level of financial literacy, manage and sustain their financial well-being. / Business Management / M. Com.

The use of financial planning and control systems is one of the factors that influence the survival of small businesses. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the use of financial planning and control systems contributes to the survival of manufacturing MSEs in the Tshwane metropolitan area. The development and use of financial planning and control systems in MSEs was investigated. Manufacturing MSEs were asked to disclose the financial planning and control systems being utilised. Respondents indicated that they use some form of financial planning and control, be it, on a formal or informal basis. Most of these firms had been operating for a number of years suggesting that the use of financial planning and control systems, inter alia, contributes to the survival of an entity. The more modern financial planning and control systems are not readily used by manufacturing MSEs, but could be beneficial to their survival. / Management Accounting / M. Com. (Accounting)

Nosso estudo tem como objetivo principal investigar a produção de significados financeiro-econômicos de nove indivíduos-consumidores de bens e serviços (KISTEMANN JR., 2011), membros de uma sociedade de consumo líquido-moderna, em relação às atividades, entrevistas e situações-problema apresentadas. Partindo de um curso de orçamento e economia doméstica para professores, dividido em oito módulos-encontros, onde todos eram donos ou donas de casa e participavam ativamente da elaboração e execução de um orçamento doméstico-familiar, buscamos discutir temas e situações-problema referentes às ações de consumo e tomadas de decisão, bem como oferecer informações relevantes para se tentar buscar um melhor gerenciamento de suas finanças pessoais, domésticas e familiares através de um consumo mais consciente e sustentável. Para a realização de tal pesquisa, fundamentamo-nos nos referenciais teórico-metodológicos de: Luís Carlos Ewald, Gustavo Cerbasi, Zygmunt Bauman e Romulo Campos Lins. Nossa pesquisa ainda revelou uma considerável necessidade de se refletir mais esses assuntos de forma coletiva, visando assim uma melhor compreensão de todos os aspectos envolvidos, além de implementar ações que possam contribuir para uma melhor formação financeiro-econômica dos indivíduos-consumidores. E, para que isso se concretize, apresentamos um “livreto didático” como produto educacional, que poderá auxiliar aos interessados como entender e compreender melhor tais questões relacionadas a planejamento financeiro de curto, médio e longo prazo; assim como é relevante também ter e manter o seu próprio orçamento doméstico sempre equilibrado. / This research, qualitative approach, has as its central axis the Financial Education. Our study aims to investigate the production of financial-economic meanings of nine individuals-consumers of goods and services (KISTEMANN JR., 2011), members of a society of liquid-modern consumer, in relation to activities, interviews and problem-situations presented. Starting a course of budget and domestic economy for teachers, divided into eight modules-meetings, where all are owners or housewives and actively participated in the preparation and implementation of a domestic-family budget, we discuss issues and problem situations related to consumer actions and decision-making, and provide relevant information to try to seek a better management of your personal finances, household and family through a more conscious and sustainable consumption. To conduct such research, we base ourselves in the theoretical and methodological framework of Luís Carlos Ewald, Gustavo Cerbasi, Zygmunt Bauman and Romulo Campos Lins. Our research also revealed a considerable need to reflect over these issues collectively, thus aiming at a better understanding of all aspects involved, and implement actions that can contribute to a better financial-economic formation of individuals consumers. And for that to happen, we present an "educational booklet" as an educational product that may help interested how to understand and better understand such issues related to financial planning short, medium and long term; as it is also important to have and maintain their own household budget always balanced.
