After the Global Financial Crisis(GFC), a lot of people questioned their personal financial planning strategies. People often do this after a market downturn or correction, let alone after the biggest we have had in about 70 years. Anyone who has lived through other major downturns will know it will take a few years to recover investment losses. It is natural for people to wonder if their personal financial planning strategy is still the right...more

Global Entrepreneurship Week: a third of Brits want to be their own boss Intuit UK, one of the leading provider of accounting software in the UK, has commissioned some research to investigate the entrepreneurial appetite of Brits. This research found that more than a third (34%) of men and women across the UK want to, or have already started their own business, up from 32% last year. However, the economic recovery is hampering their entrepreneurial confidence. When those who want to set up their own business were asked whether they plan to set one up in the next year, only 12% agreed, this is down from 18% in 2009. What was really fascinating to learn was the reasons why people are keen to start their own businesses. The most popular response was ‘to be my own boss' (58%). This was closely followed by ‘reap all rewards of my own hard work' (54%) and ‘I want to make more money' (43%). Perhaps unsurprisingly, more men want to set up their own business than women with only 22% of women saying they want to set up their own business compared to 31% of men. The research also asked those who want to set up their own business (or have already done so) what the barriers are...more

Overseas Opportunities for MBAs in a Global Economy In such a globalized economy, it is important that business school students also learn to think and interact on an international level. In fact, it is becoming more and more commonplace that MBA programs in the United States have a more internationally broad curriculum, preparing them to work with or even in other countries around the world. This is especially something to consider during this recession, while certain overseas economies are actually expanding. Businessweek recently published an article titled "Why MBAs are Going East." This does not mean that the idea of becoming a Long Island accountant has suddenly risen in popularity (as I foolishly thought when I first saw the headline). Instead, the article discusses the growing movement of business school grads seeking employment in China. Interviewees suggest that this search for employment opportunities overseas is a permanent result of the globalized economy. So, with a highly global curriculum being taught in universities and an increasingly large population of MBA holders working overseas, it seems it won't be long before financial planning firms in the United...more
