"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

Telecom is a fast changing dynamic sector. Continuous change
in technologies and opportunities created by such change and
consequent impact on the customer/user necessitates changes and
adaptation of policies in the sector. Countries which respond timely and
appropriately to such change grow successfully whereas others who
fail, lag behind, remaining trapped in the vicious circle of poverty and
under-development. Bangladesh being a developing country is fast
trying to catch up with the developed world, and adapt its policies, in
response to changing needs, opportunities and requirements in different
sectors, including the telecom sector. Nowadays, IP (Internet
Protocol) telephony is the most attractive part of the telecom
sector. BTRC (Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory
Commission) regulates all of the parts of the telecommunication sectors
in Bangladesh. At present this commission generates one of the biggest
parts of revenue in Bangladesh.
3. 3
1 Introduction
IP telephony – the implementation of voice over an IP-based network – is fast
becoming an attractive and viable opportunity for businesses.
Today the market for IP telephony is rapidly maturing (Figure 1). There has been
widespread deployment and acceptance of IP telephony solutions in a broad range of market
sectors, such as government, education, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing where
competitive advantages depend on the ability to enhance productivity and increase mobility.
Opportunities are not limited to these markets; in fact, new organizations have deployed IP
Telephony solutions have reported a range of benefits that include cost savings, increased
revenues, and new opportunities to drive business innovation. Even companies that had not
been favorably disposed toward IP telephony now realize the advantages of introducing this
technology into their own enterprises.
Figure 1. Enterprise Packet Voice Market
Almost every corporation in Bangladesh, whether it is large or small, wants to use IP
telephony and Voice over IP solutions to facilitate their communication. This method brings
down the expenses for the companies - particularly the infrastructural investment in their
communication processes.
4. 4
2 Why IP Telephony?
Over the years, enterprise companies have invested worldwide heavily in multiple
communication infrastructures to operate separate voice and data networks. Because these
systems are often not compatible, converging them can be difficult and expensive to
maintain. What is more, completely ripping out an existing infrastructure all together by
bringing in an end-to-end offering from a large data provider can be costly and a waste of
resources (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Challenges of IP Telephony Deployments
IP telephony allows organizations to simplify and streamline their communication
systems. It is commonly used to support business environments where employees and
customers are demanding access to advanced applications and new ways of collaborating
across their business. IP telephony presents exciting opportunities for adding more value-
added services and applications throughout the organization.
In a “Greenfield” location (a facility with no existing telecommunications equipment),
a company can install IP Telephony solution that supports integrated communication
capabilities. Companies that already have an existing telecommunications system in place can
5. 5
continue to use the existing infrastructure and migrate to IP telephony over time at a pace that
makes sense for them based on their specific business needs, blending new and legacy
equipment.
The past few years have seen only modest investment in telecommunications
infrastructure, but companies have shown an increasing desire to invest in IP telephony
solutions. It’s been estimated that seven million voice over Internet protocol (VOIP) phones
will be in circulation by 2007 (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Total Enterprise IP Telephony Market: Revenue (World), 2002-2007
3 Examples of Implementations
Government
Municipalities and other governmental entities tend to have multiple departments and
locations running on disparate – and often incompatible – technology infrastructures. This
can, and often does, pose significant maintenance and support challenges.
6. 6
The adoption of IP telephony creates a single virtual telephony environment for
various departments spread throughout the city – or country. By unifying voice and data
technology infrastructures, maintenance and support are greatly simplified. Furthermore, a
single network can provide virtually every city employee with traditional telephone services
as caller ID, call forwarding, voice mail, and advanced directory service – plus advanced IP
telephone capabilities such as auto attendant, “follow me” messaging, message forwarding to
off-system users, and centralized directory integration.
Figure 4. Benefits of deploying an IP Telephony solution
Education
Traditionally paper-based, school districts are turning to enhanced IP telephony
systems to replace tedious handwritten tasks. Attendance, hall passes, scheduling, and some
security features are integrated into applications that help save time and money while
simplifying the administrative process.
7. 7
Universities can also leverage the flexibility of IP Telephony solutions to help drive
revenue to offset additional infrastructure costs. By deploying IP phones into dormitory
rooms throughout the campus, a university can derive advertising revenue from a host of
locally supported student service businesses ranging from pizza delivery shops, bookstores,
and more.
Healthcare
The healthcare industry depends on innovation to provide the best possible service to
its ultimate customer, the patient. IP Telephony solution has helped create tools that give
doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and medical staff access to scheduling, medical records, and lab
results through IP phones or other mobile devices, such as PDAs or tablet PCs.
A converged data and voice network allows healthcare providers to access,
manipulate, and archive voice, text, and displayed information in ways that help cut costs and
enhance productivity. For example, after a patient visit, doctors can link verbal dictation to
patient records for immediate updates. Invoices can be submitted using voice technology,
saving doctors and other hospital staff time and reducing administration expenses.
Finance
By combining multiple network infrastructures into a single IP-based network,
financial institutions can consolidate disparate infrastructures and reduce communications
costs. At the same time, those savings can be transferred back to customers in the form of
more competitive products such as Internet banking and bill pay, and offering value-added
services such as wealth management and online trading and trade monitoring. Using IP
telephony solutions, banks can move all channels into the branch, reducing manual cash
handling by tellers, and providing an additional delivery mechanism for enhanced customer
service. The result: simpler operations, lower maintenance and support costs, and greater
agility.
8. 8
Manufacturing
The manufacturing industry is using IP telephony to speed up time to market and to
balance supply and demand. The technology lowers the risk of unpredictable demand,
uncertain availability, and fluctuating prices for direct materials by speeding up the
communication process between distributors and suppliers. Industries like automotive, retail,
pharmaceuticals, and high-tech are realizing dramatic improvements in inventory, service
levels, supply and demand variability, and distribution channels through converged
voice/data systems. Manufacturing organizations also realize savings in long-distance rates
and can leverage multiple mobile communication and productivity solutions. Instead of
expensive PBX equipment at every office site, centralized IP telephony solutions provide
cost-effective central management and support.
4 Illegal IP Telephony through BTTB
The ongoing drive against illegal VOIP operation has resulted in a record jump of
overseas telephone calls through the Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board (BTTB)
system, statistics show. The BTTB is now handling more than 12 million minutes of overseas
calls per day as against around four million minutes of calls per day last year. Such a jump
however is mainly due to incoming calls. Overseas calls through the "legal" or BTTB channel
started to mark a significant upward trend from January this year and rose to the highest
number of around 14 million minutes of calls a day during the recent Eid vacation. This is
considered significant because illegal VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) operation had
long been depriving the government of huge revenue, and the BTTB's overseas revenue
earning was consistently nose-diving during the period. It is estimated that operators were
bagging Tk 15,000 crore a year through illegal overseas telephony using VOIP technology
while the BTTB's earning from overseas calls was just around Tk 200 crore last year. BTTB
records show that it handled 22.8 crore minutes of incoming overseas calls and 2.9 crore
minutes of outgoing calls in August last year. During the corresponding period year 2006, it
9. 9
handled 8.3 crore incoming and two crore outgoing calls. Again, only in eight months till
August last year, the BTTB handled about 120 crore minutes of incoming calls and 19 crore
minutes of outgoing calls. In contrast, it dealt with 90 crore minutes of incoming and 23 crore
minutes of outgoing calls last year. Outgoing calls are not increasing significantly because
call rates are generally perceived as very high. Besides, people in general prefer to receive
overseas calls than make overseas calls, telecom experts say. Overseas calls have become a
major business in Bangladesh since the late nineties mainly due to the VOIP technology that
was being used without giving the government any tax or duty. Bangladesh
Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) had played a questionable role in this
regard. Consequently, overseas calls in the gray markets became so cheap that Bangladesh
became one of the fastest growing overseas call markets.
5 BTRC Actions
According to the regulatory and licensing guidelines of international gateway license,
the auction will be based on open bids and the bidders will bid for the percentage of the
revenue to be shared with the BTRC.
The bidding will start at sharing 25 per cent of the revenue with the BTRC, and each
successive bid will have to be incrementally higher by 0.25 per cent.
The BTRC has also fixed Tk 15 crore as acquisition fee for each international
gateway license.
The licensees will be given initially for a 15-year term with an option for renewal
after every five year subject to the BTRC’s approval. All the three international gateways will
be located in Dhaka and must be open to lawful interception by the intelligence
agencies.
The guidelines say that the license holders will set up the international gateway
exchanges and launch services within four months from the issuance of the licensees.
10. 10
They will have the primary backbone connection with international networks through
the SEA-ME-WE submarine cable and also other submarine cables whenever available.
The license holders will also have the backup connectivity through the satellite earth
station until an alternative submarine cable is available.
6 Conclusions
According to the above discussions it can be clear that, using the IP Telephony,
BTRC can earn a lot of money by licensing, tax, rules avoiding fine in telecommunication
sector. Besides this, revenue of Bangladesh will be increased tremendously. Therefore it is
the great opportunities to increase the government revenue of Bangladesh.
