Financial Institutions and Markets
Q1. Ms. Vijaya, after completing her graduation, has recently joined a bank. With a steady income now and good growth prospects for her career, she intends to save regularly and increase the amount of savings gradually over the years. Her colleagues in the bank have advised her investing in Mutual Funds (MFs), as a suitable option for her. However, Ms. Vijaya is not at all familiar with MFs and has some queries such as:
a) What are mutual funds and why should she be investing through mutual fund?
b) What are the various types of mutual funds? Prepare a detailed answer for her queries.
Q2. Mr. Sudhindra Kumar, aged 60, has been an investor in stock market for the last 35 years. When he initially started investing in late 1980s, he used to take positions in the stock markets after studying the annual reports of the company. He used to scan financial newspaper everyday to spot a scrip for buying or selling. He used to generate better returns on his investments than his other colleagues who would solely rely on the trends in stock prices to choose the stock. However, by the end of late 1990s, Mr. Sudhindra realized that he is not able to spot as many investment opportunities through his existing methods. He observed that her junior colleague, Ms. Rama was generating better returns than him. Ms. Rama also shared with Mr. Sudhindra that she picks up stocks based on the recommendation of his stock-broker friend. His recommendations have been a hit as he is very well connected to many corporates, financial intermediaries and other brokers. He seems to get to know about the corporate and market developments ahead of the many investors. Mr. Sudhindra requested Ms. Rama to share such invest tips with him as well in future. Using these tips judiciously along with his old methods of investing, he continued to generate handsome returns on his investment. After various stock-market scams, in the early and mid 2000s, various regulations were brought in place by SEBI to curb manipulation of stock prices and bring more transparency of information, especially for the small investors. As a result, the flow of reliable and worthy investment tips through Ms. Rama dried up and once again. Today, Mr. Sudhindra finds that his older methods of investing are not as effective as they used to be in past, in identifying an investment-worthy stock. All the information related to any stock is almost instantaneously and simultaneously available to the whole market, with the help of technology. Hence, opportunities to beat the market in generating returns have become far lesser than in past. Based on the above information, what are your observations regarding the market efficiency of Indian market since 1980s? Put your commentary/conclusions with your rationale for the same.
Q.3 DEF Limited is an Indian company, engaged in export oriented trading of various manufactured items. The company buys products manufactured in India and sells its products primarily in US. The company pays to its vendors/sellers in Indian rupee and it receives payment in USD after 90 days of dispatching its products. Also, the company borrows money in Indian Rupee for working capital purposes. The cost of borrowing for the company is around 14%-15%. The company aims to reduce its borrowing cost and is exploring options for the same.
a) How can DEF limited manage/mitigate the forex risks?
b) What kind of Swaps instruments DEF Limited can use to manage the forex related risks and reduce borrowing costs?

Organizational Behaviors
1. Sana and Reema joined a quick serve restaurant chain at the head office in the marketing department. Both of them were very happy with the compensation and designation offered to them. Since Sana and Reema joined in the same month so they bonded well together, during one of the conversation Sana got to know that Reema was getting paid 25% more than her. This revelation had caused a conflict between them as it had really saddened Sana which was observable by her hostile behaviour towards Reema. Sana never missed a chance to make Reema feel miserable. Sana Started comparing the fact that both of them had the same qualification and work experience and still she (Sana) was getting paid less than her peer. The situation had worsened so much that they both stopped communicating with each other. You are the HR manager who has observed all this and now you have to come up with techniques with the help of which this conflict can be resolved. Discuss any 4 (four) techniques of conflict resolution and management. Also, conclude the answer by discussing how organisations can avoid/minimise such conflicts. (10 Marks)
2. Karan and Sanjay work as Project Lead for two different teams. It has been noticed that Karan is very helpful and empathetic towards his team and supports them in every possible manner. The team in turn is very close knit and can really works hard to accomplish the objectives. They also give Karan full support whenever required by going out of their way. Whereas Sanjay just wants to get the work done by being a tight fisted man. He reprimands his team members in front of outsiders. He only instructs his team and is never in execution front. Sanjay's team is really petrified of him and always is under fear. Team's motivation is very low and everyone is searching for opportunity to move out of Sanjay's team. Compare the leadership style of Karan and Sanjay. Conclude by discussing that in a workplace which style of leadership is better suited. (10 Marks)
3. Rajat and Suresh have got their yearly targets and both of them are working hard to surpass each other as by the year end the one who achieves the maximum is going to be awarded in the sales conference with a cash prize of Rs. 50000 which would be given by the CEO of the company. They both are doing their best to win this contest for Rajat, the prime factor is money as he has recently got married and his expenses have increased.

3. Joe was heading the Human Resources Department at Lifelong Insurance Pvt. Ltd. Joe was an experienced HR professional with a track record of successfully managing Human Resources and reducing labor attrition. He recently happened to attend a session on employee motivation where various theories of motivation were discussed. He was highly impressed with the simplicity of the Maslow’s Need Hierarchy theory and Herzberg’s motivation model. He decided to implement the same at the workplace for employees of Lifelong Insurance. He convinced the CEO of the company to incorporate the factors of recognition, advancement, growth for employees. The CEO supported Joe and various plans for employee recognition, advancement, etc were rolled out. The plans received a mixed response. Some found them as a cheap substitute to salary hikes while the back-office staff enjoyed the processes but failed to recognize its impact on work. The field executives said that their job was already challenging and commission on insurance sales acted as a motivator to them. After about a couple of months of implementing these programs, Joe was highly disappointed to notice that the programs did not have the impact as desired. Joe faced severe criticism from the top management of the company.
a. What according to you were the reasons of failure of the strategy adopted by Joe? Discuss with reference to Maslow and Herzberg’s theories. (5 Marks)
b. To what extent do you think is money a motivator?

Financial Institutions and Markets
Q1. Ms. Vijaya, after completing her graduation, has recently joined a bank. With a steady income now and good growth prospects for her career, she intends to save regularly and increase the amount of savings gradually over the years. Her colleagues in the bank have advised her investing in Mutual Funds (MFs), as a suitable option for her. However, Ms. Vijaya is not at all familiar with MFs and has some queries such as:
a) What are mutual funds and why should she be investing through mutual fund?
b) What are the various types of mutual funds? Prepare a detailed answer for her queries.
Q2. Mr. Sudhindra Kumar, aged 60, has been an investor in stock market for the last 35 years. When he initially started investing in late 1980s, he used to take positions in the stock markets after studying the annual reports of the company. He used to scan financial newspaper everyday to spot a scrip for buying or selling. He used to generate better returns on his investments than his other colleagues who would solely rely on the trends in stock prices to choose the stock. However, by the end of late 1990s, Mr. Sudhindra realized that he is not able to spot as many investment opportunities through his existing methods. He observed that her junior colleague, Ms. Rama was generating better returns than him. Ms. Rama also shared with Mr. Sudhindra that she picks up stocks based on the recommendation of his stock-broker friend. His recommendations have been a hit as he is very well connected to many corporates, financial intermediaries and other brokers. He seems to get to know about the corporate and market developments ahead of the many investors. Mr. Sudhindra requested Ms. Rama to share such invest tips with him as well in future. Using these tips judiciously along with his old methods of investing, he continued to generate handsome returns on his investment. After various stock-market scams, in the early and mid 2000s, various regulations were brought in place by SEBI to curb manipulation of stock prices and bring more transparency of information, especially for the small investors. As a result, the flow of reliable and worthy investment tips through Ms. Rama dried up and once again. Today, Mr. Sudhindra finds that his older methods of investing are not as effective as they used to be in past, in identifying an investment-worthy stock. All the information related to any stock is almost instantaneously and simultaneously available to the whole market, with the help of technology. Hence, opportunities to beat the market in generating returns have become far lesser than in past. Based on the above information, what are your observations regarding the market efficiency of Indian market since 1980s? Put your commentary/conclusions with your rationale for the same.
Q.3 DEF Limited is an Indian company, engaged in export oriented trading of various manufactured items. The company buys products manufactured in India and sells its products primarily in US. The company pays to its vendors/sellers in Indian rupee and it receives payment in USD after 90 days of dispatching its products. Also, the company borrows money in Indian Rupee for working capital purposes. The cost of borrowing for the company is around 14%-15%. The company aims to reduce its borrowing cost and is exploring options for the same.
a) How can DEF limited manage/mitigate the forex risks?
b) What kind of Swaps instruments DEF Limited can use to manage the forex related risks and reduce borrowing costs?
