Thank You for Visiting This Blog

Hello Everyone...

We are the part 5 students of BBA (hons) International Business, Faculty of Business Management, Universiti Teknologi MARA Malaysia will hold a seminar on this coming 23 February 2009. This seminar is concerning with today's global economic crisis 2008-2009 that occurred in the whole world. We will focus on how this phenomenon happened and what to do about it.. Check out our poster below...




Introduction


The global financial crisis of 2008–2009 is an ongoing major financial crisis. It became prominently visible in September 2008 with the failure, merger, or conservatorship of several large United States-based financial firms. The underlying causes leading to the crisis had been reported in business journals for many months before September, with commentary about the financial stability of leading U.S. and European investment banks, insurance firms and mortgage banks consequent to the subprime mortgage crisis.


Beginning with failures of large financial institutions in the United States, it rapidly evolved into a global credit crisis, deflation and sharp reductions in shipping resulting in a number of European bank failures and declines in various stock indexes, and large reductions in the market value of equities and commodities worldwide. The crisis led to a liquidity problem and the de-leveraging of financial institutions especially in the United States and Europe, which further accelerated the liquidity crisis, and a decrease in international shipping and commerce.


On the one hand many people are concerned that those responsible for the financial problems are the ones being bailed out, while on the other hand, a global financial meltdown will affect the livelihoods of almost everyone in an increasingly inter-connected world. The problem could have been avoided, if ideologues supporting the current economics models weren’t so vocal, influential and inconsiderate of others’ viewpoints and concerns.


Along with UiTM’s objective to provide global standard students, this seminar help the students to alert with today’s global business world, with providing experts together with professional presentations in business field. Further, this seminar will act as a medium for participants to share experience, knowledge and thought between panel, students and lecturers. Therefore, we are highly hoped that UiTM will give us this opportunity to organize this seminar that we promised will become the most reputable and knowledgeable ever.
