Chapter 2 - Governance in Singapore.
The document discusses four principles of good governance in Singapore:
1) Leadership is key - Having capable and honest leaders who make decisions for the long-term success of the country is important.
2) Anticipate change and stay relevant - The government must take risks and make forward-looking decisions to prepare for future challenges.
3) Reward for work and work for reward - A meritocratic system gives equal opportunities and rewards performance, encouraging hard work.
4) A stake for everyone, opportunities for all - Greater participation in decision-making builds stronger bonds between people and country.
The document argues that "leadership is key" is the most important principle as capable leadership is needed to ensure
Comparative analysis on corruption perception in the philippine, singapore & ...Jesse Rivera
The comparative study tackles on anti-corruption strategy which are deemed necessary to counter corrupt practices pervading in the Philippines especially in the public service taken from the following perspectives:How the government of Singapore and Japan attempt to eradicate corruption by means of legal culture, legal substance and legal structure; How anti-corruption education strategies (prevention) are implemented inSingapore and Japan; What are these anti-corruption strategies in Australia as suggested by Rob McCusker of the Australian Institute of Criminology?
The document discusses governance in Singapore and the principles that have led to its progress. It outlines four key principles: 1) Leadership is Key, with good leaders having integrity and making practical decisions; 2) Anticipate Change and Stay Relevant, with policies like NEWater ensuring water self-sufficiency and Integrated Resorts boosting tourism; 3) Reward for Work and Work for Reward, with a meritocratic system rewarding hard work and sharing prosperity; and 4) A Stake for Everyone, Opportunities for All, with policies giving citizens a say in decisions. Examples are given for each principle and how they have contributed to Singapore's development.
Singapore has a parliamentary representative democratic republic system of government. The president is the head of state and is elected through popular vote, while the prime minister is the head of government. Executive power is vested in the prime minister and cabinet. Legislative power is held by the unicameral Parliament. Consent of the governed is an important principle, and changes can happen peacefully through elections. Government leaders are seen to follow the rule of law and corruption is very low.

This document discusses poverty in Singapore and ways to combat it. It defines poverty as either absolute, relating to basic needs, or relative, falling below prevailing living standards. Around 13% of Singaporean households survive on less than $1500 monthly in 2008. 100,000 people earned under $1000 monthly in 2012 despite working full-time. The government helps through policies like public housing and healthcare subsidies. Voluntary welfare organizations and school groups also distribute resources. Everyone can play a role in assisting the needy.
Singapore was founded as a British trading post in 1819 due to its strategic port location. When it gained independence in 1965, its economy was undeveloped with high unemployment. However, the government's free market policies and fiscal controls led to rapid economic growth, transforming Singapore into a major trade and manufacturing hub. It is now one of Asia's wealthiest nations with a highly developed port, transportation, and telecommunications infrastructure.

8.Singapore foreign relations
Singapore was founded as a British trading colony in 1819 and has become one of the most prosperous countries in the world with the third highest GDP per capita. It has a highly skilled multiethnic population and relies heavily on exports and foreign investment. Singapore has pursued free trade agreements with many countries and trading blocs to remain a global hub for business, shipping, banking, and tourism.
The document discusses governance in Singapore, including the role of the people in providing feedback, the functions of the government in making and enforcing laws, and four guiding principles of leadership. It also summarizes Singapore's policies on traffic management, population control, and preparing for an aging population through a collaborative "Many Helping Hands" approach involving individuals, families, communities and the government.
The objective of this report is to analyse the impact of an unexpected corporate event on stock prices,
thereupon evaluating the market efficiency theory. We employed an event study to evaluate the impact of
an acquisition announcement from two different M&A bidders in the apparel industry – Men’s Wearhouse
and Gap. We found insufficient evidence to suggest that there were significant positive abnormal returns at
the 5% significance level and this supports the semi-strong market efficiency theory.
The document discusses ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting and frameworks. It begins with definitions of ESG, describing the environmental, social, and governance pillars of sustainability. It then provides details on various ESG standards and frameworks for reporting, such as ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety. The document advocates that companies begin measuring ESG data and reporting according to frameworks in order to improve sustainability performance over multiple levels, starting from data collection and continuing to assurance, offsetting, and financing. It suggests all companies should begin the ESG journey but it is most urgent for publicly listed companies due to regulations.
This document summarizes a study that evaluated and improved the quality of ready mixed concrete at Al-Rasheed Company in Iraq using Six Sigma's DMAIC improvement cycle. The study found that before improvements, the concrete work's sigma level was 2.41, with 18.11% non-conforming production and 181,070 defects per million opportunities. Root cause analysis using tools like Pareto charts and fishbone diagrams identified factors like inconsistent material quality and high summer temperatures as causes. To improve quality, the study proposed a Quality Management System based on Six Sigma, which would involve restructuring the company's organization to establish a new Quality Improvement Department and steering committee focused on continuous improvement.

Motorola developed Six Sigma in 1986 to measure defects per million opportunities (DPMO) in its semiconductor manufacturing processes. Six Sigma uses a data-driven, scientific approach called DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) to reduce variation and improve quality. It aims to reduce defects to 3.4 defects per million opportunities. The DMAIC approach is used to define problems, measure baseline metrics, analyze causes of defects, improve processes by addressing key causes, and control future process performance through statistical process control.
IRJET- Achieving Total Quality Management in Construction Project using Six S...IRJET Journal
This document discusses applying Six Sigma concepts to construction scheduling to improve quality and reduce delays. It defines the DMAIC process used, which stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. An IT building construction project is used as a case study. The number of completed and delayed activities is measured. Using these numbers, the Defects Per Million Opportunities (DPMO) and Sigma level are calculated to assess quality. Major delay reasons like labor shortages are identified. The goal is to recommend improvements to reduce schedule variations and delays using Six Sigma approaches.

The document provides information about operations management concepts including scientific management, productivity, ABC analysis, economic order quantity, and materials requirements planning. It defines each concept and provides examples to illustrate how they are applied. Scientific management aims to improve efficiency through systematic analysis of work processes. Productivity is a measure of output per unit of input. ABC analysis categorizes inventory items based on their value and usage to determine appropriate control methods. Economic order quantity and ordering cycle determine optimal replenishment amounts and frequencies to minimize total inventory costs. Materials requirements planning is a technique to plan material needs at different production levels based on a product structure tree.
This is complete research and study on the Six sigma and its methodology with case studies of Motorola and GE etc. This will help you a lot in understanding Six Sigma in Detail.
Analysis on the Performance of Technology Companies with Z-score ModeljournalBEEI
Local technology sector plays a significant role in information and communication technology (ICT) based innovations and applications which enhance organizational performance as well as national economic growth and labor productivity. In this paper, financial performance of the listed Malaysia companies in technology sector is analyzed and evaluated. Altman’s Z-score model is proposed due to its robustness in determining companies’ financial distress level using five financial ratios as variables. The computed Z-score values classify the financial status of the companies into distress, grey and safe zones. This study investigates the financial data of 23 listed technology-based companies in the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia over the period of 2013 to 2017. The findings reveal that the percentage of safe zone companies increase throughout the five years whereas distress zone companies decline. It is concluded that financial ratio for market value of equity to total liabilities is the dominant factor that directly influences the level of financial distress among these technology-based companies in Malaysia. These research outcomes provide an insight to investors or policy makers to develop future planning in order to avoid financial failure in local
technology sector.

This document provides an overview of a market-based indicators approach to stress testing financial institutions in the United States. It describes using a systemic risk dashboard to monitor risks, a contingent claims analysis model to estimate institutions' default probabilities, and generalized additive models to project default probabilities under stress scenarios. Historical results are also recapped. Key findings on macroeconomic contributions and inter-sector spillovers are presented. Annexes provide details on modeling methodologies.
This case study examines quality improvement efforts at Caparo Maruti Ltd through the application of Six Sigma methodology. The company manufactures sheet metal automobile parts, including cross members. Data was collected on inspections of 187525 cross member parts over 5 months, finding 67 defects. Major defects included welding failures causing nut misplacement or damage. Pareto and line charts identified the primary defect as M8 nut failure during projection welding. Root cause analysis using a fishbone diagram indicated issues with the welding process, including variation in weld gun position, nut placement, and material quality. Recommendations were made to improve the welding process and reduce defects.
Taguchi method is a statistical approach to experimental design aimed at improving product quality. It was developed by Genichi Taguchi to help engineers design robust products and processes. The key aspects of Taguchi's approach include using orthogonal arrays to lay out experiments, incorporating parameter design through setting control factors and levels, and analyzing data using signal-to-noise ratios to identify optimal settings. Taguchi specified three quality characteristics - larger the better, smaller the better, and on-target minimum variation. The document then discusses implementation of Taguchi's method to optimize process parameters for abrasive water jet machining.
The document analyzes the efficiency of the top 20 solar companies globally from 2018-2022 using data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Malmquist productivity index (MPI). Input variables included total assets, total equity, and sales expenses, while output variables were revenue and profit. Correlation analysis found the input and output variables were strongly positively correlated and suitable for DEA. DEA and MPI analysis identified China Three Renewable Group, Enphase Energy, Trina Solar, Emerson Electrics, and Solar Industry India as the top 5 most efficient companies. The study aims to help managers evaluate partnering opportunities within the global solar supply chain.
This document summarizes a PhD research project that developed a system dynamics model to evaluate transport safety policies for commercial motorcycle operation in Nigeria. The research aimed to (1) identify factors contributing to safety problems and their relationships, and (2) develop a dynamic model to understand how driver behavior develops and is influenced over time. The research involved interviews, data collection and analysis in Nigeria to develop a causal loop diagram and stock and flow model. The model was used to test scenarios such as increasing enforcement capacity, removing expensive vehicle ownership options, and increasing prosecution rates. Key findings indicated that system dynamics modeling was useful, entry methods into the trade significantly impacted problems, and combining measures had more leverage than single interventions.
Reducing execution cost and risk in change managementSteve Pell
The document discusses how Intrascope software can help reduce costs and risks for large-scale change management projects. It provides an example of a $10 million implementation project with a $1.25 million change management budget. The software is estimated to save 30-40% of change costs through faster hypothesis testing, identifying bottlenecks earlier, and reducing workforce time spent on surveys and focus groups. It could also reduce total project risk by $7.8 million by helping to achieve higher performance in culture change management and organizational alignment, moving the project closer to the returns achieved by top performers.
Statistical quality control applied industrial and manufacturing operations. Case study regarding the use of these tools. Description of statistical tools used in quality control and inspection.
With a growth in interest in ‘big data’ as electric grids evolve and data sources become more common and more productive, there needs to be a discussion of the management of data in a secure manner, and the role of analytics to provide information and have ‘meaning’. This paper looks at a number of challenges that are beginning to be faced, and opportunities to ensure that the Future Grid is secure. Challenge 1 is the management of ‘big data’, which may provide value if appropriately viewed and analyzed; Challenge 2 is the management of security, for both data and systems which use the data; Challenge 3 is the need for appropriate urgency in analysis and action; Challenge 4 is to understand the meaning of the data and associated analyses, but also to understand the limits of our understanding.

This document summarizes a study on dynamic assessment conducted with Iranian English language university instructors. The study investigated instructors' conceptualizations of dynamic assessment and how they apply it in practice. Semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and a questionnaire were used to collect data. The results showed that instructors have a good understanding of dynamic assessment in theory, seeing it as process-oriented and beneficial for learning, but face challenges in practice due to assessment system priorities on summative exams over formative assessment. The duality of teachers' and institutional assessment criteria limits instructors' authority to fully implement dynamic assessment approaches.
This document discusses transnational identities and language teaching in a globalized world. It notes that greater mobility has led to transnational identities and stronger maintenance of heritage languages across generations. This presents both opportunities and challenges for language education. Heritage language learners have oral skills related to their home culture but may struggle with standard registers, grammar, or broader vocabularies. Effective teaching acknowledges learners' strengths while helping them expand their skills through content-rich, top-down approaches rather than focusing only on individual elements.

The document summarizes a study that compared the motivation of adult immigrants participating in language education courses in the Czech Republic and Sweden. A survey was administered to 95 immigrants in the Czech Republic and 222 immigrants in Sweden. The results showed statistically significant differences in motivations between the countries. Immigrants in the Czech Republic were found to be more intrinsically motivated to learn something new, while immigrants in Sweden were more extrinsically motivated to communicate in everyday situations. The document concludes that the countries can learn from each other in improving language education and integration programs.
This document discusses motivating engineering students to study through improved teaching methods based on research by Dr. Peter Willmot. It describes international projects investigating what motivates engineering students and how motivation can be nurtured. Students are motivated by challenging, engaging, real-world problems and seeing quick results. They are demotivated by poor lectures, uninteresting topics, and other unmotivated students. The document considers how to address students arriving unprepared and suggests building creativity and autonomy into the curriculum while creating a sense of belonging to motivate students.

This document summarizes a study on international student engagement with assessment in higher education institutions. It conducted interviews with students at two universities to understand how their backgrounds and the institutional contexts shaped their approaches. The study found that each institution had distinct assessment practices and cultures that most influenced how students engaged with assessment, more so than their own identities or past experiences. It argues a framework analyzing institutional profiles can help understand differences in student engagement between universities.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

3. introduction
Anti-corruption policies have been instituted over the past few
decades in countries around the globe to limit the economic and
government impacts of corruption, both politically and
economically.
Since Singapore has become known as one of the least corrupt
countries in the world, it is used in this research to show the
impact of anticorruption policies on the performance of the
companies listed in its stock market
4. Previous
research
Some studies found that the ‘the return to financial sector
development at the level of massive corruption, exacerbate
income inequality, offsetting the benefits of financial
development’ (S. Batabyal &A. Chowdhury, 2015)
Some studies show that corruption can be problematic in that
‘corruption is likely to lower the productivity of capital due to a
variety of channels’ J.G. Lambsdorff, (2003)
Also (Rose-Ackerman, 2013) found that Corruption makes sales
slow, unpredictable and inefficient
On the other hand many scholars argue that imposing anti-
corruption policies will not benefit the economy since corruption
may help in capital formation, promoting economic benefits.
(Morris & Blake, 2010).
5. Research
question
Main research question is:
do anti-corruption policies result in improving firms performance or
do they hinder firms activities and hence negatively affect their
performance?
6. Methodology
and data
The study uses panel data regression to examine the effect of
corruption on firm profitability and growth.
To estimate these models we used the all Singaporean listed
firms. After removing the firms with incomplete data and firms
with extreme values (outliers), we are left with 392 firms covering
the period from 1995 to 2014
We used 2 models; in the first model we measure the relation
between corruption and profitability measured by net profit
margin. Under this model we run 2 sub models; in the first we
added only micro variables to corruption, in the second we
incorporated macro and micro variables together.
The second model we measure the relation between corruption
and company growth measured by total asset growth. Under this
model we run 2 sub models; in the first we added only micro
variables to corruption, in the second we incorporated macro and
micro variables together.

10. Conclusions
The main conclusion of this study is that anti-corruption policies
that was conducted in Singapore over the period 1995 to 2013
resulted in better firms performance measured by net profit
margin (1 point index improvement increases net profit margin by
about 12.8%) and asset growth (1 point index improvement
increases total asset growth by about 11.7%).
Further research is suggested to investigate the factors that
differentiate the anti-corruption policy effect among different
countries
