DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

Hello Friends,

The new session began with a host of activities with the admission of

new batches of students in MBA, BBA & BCA courses. A number of

activities were planned for the summer semester with the starting of the celebrations of International Yoga Day, Orientation programmes, Ozone

Day, Independence Day, Faculty retreat program, where our students

and staff members demonstrated their talents in participating in

different activities. It gave the students an extra ordinary opportunity in

building and bridging the gap between practical and theoretical knowledge. During the last semester, our students have brought glory to

our Institute by participating in various events, like, sports, performing

arts, research publications, paper presentations. We have always

encouraged our students and staff to organize and participate in different activities for better exposure and

practical implementation of their management acumen, inculcated during their studies at Bharati Vidyapeeth

Institute of Management & Research, New Delhi.

I would also like to take a moment and congratulate all the students for their excellent academic result. They have

all done their alma mater proud. With such a glorious pathway, I feel confident that our Institute would reach new

heights. To make this journey easier, we have introduced slight changes in the academic evaluation system and I

hope that it will help improve the current system. With this I wish you all the best for this new semester and hope

that the New Year turns out to be equally eventful for all of you.


Dr. Vikas Nath

Director, BVIMR

PHD SNAPSHOT

Dr. Parul Agrawal, Associate Professor, BVIMR, successfully completed his doctorate on

10th Feb 2016 from Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University, Pune. He completed his work

under the guidance of Dr. N.K. Gupta Associate Professor, Ramjas College , Delhi University, The title of his thesis is “A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF DECLARATION OF DIVIDEND IN

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY”.

Dividend pay-out decision has always been a subject of interest to

financial analysts, academicians and researchers for about six decades now. The

researchers are interested in studying the extent to which the earnings of a company are distributed as dividend among the shareholders as also the retained earnings. Every

investment is made on the expectation and assumption that it will yield some returns. Equity investment is not an

exception to this. Every equity investor anticipates a good rate of return in the form of dividend to be declared by

the company. So, every company pays higher attention in formulating its own dividend policy. Dividend decision is

one of the most important decisions in the field of Financial Management. Dividen d policy determines the relationship between a company and the capital market. Payment of dividend enhances the market price of the

shares thereby increasing the wealth of the shareholders. Payment of dividend conveys to shareholders , the

information relating to the profitability of the firm. Dividends act as booster of the shareholder’s confidence ,

signalizing, that the company is being managed well and its future is safe.

The present study is an attempt to quantify the effect on price of share due to declaration of dividend and examine

the impact of declaration of dividend policy of a company on total volume, number of trade, turnover etc. At the

same time, it also explores the attitude and perception of investing community while making their investment

decision particularly in Automotive sector. For this purpose researcher selected top 10 companies which regularly

reported top position year to year.


The study was based on both primary & secondary data analysis; the researcher calculated average dividend of 6

years from 2008 to 2013. All the secondary data was retrieved from the renowned CAPITALINE database accessed

from library of IIM Ahmadabad. ANNOVA was used to analyze the data and hypotheses were tested on 1% level of significance with the help of T-test. Primary data analysis was done with 477 investors. The Primary data was

collected from Delhi & NCR region. For this purpose researcher approached the broking firms like Edelweiss, Karvy,

Bajaj Capital and retrieved data about clients who were having stock position in the firms selected for the study.

Questionnaire drafted meticulously keeping in view the objective of the study and filled through emails and

personal contact.

Finally, it was concluded that Company’s Average Share trading, Share trading volume and Share turnover remain

unaffected before and after one month of the declaration of dividend. The investors are concerned and they keep

a check on the Dividend per share and earnings per share records of a company before making any investment

decision in the equity shares of a company. Investors do favor a consistent and moderately high dividend payout. Dividend alone can’t be the right yardstick to judge the performance of a company and it is not the only factor

influencing the investment decision of investors particularly in the case of Indian Automobile Industry. The

investors by and large, have many considerations other than dividends to invest in the equity of a company. These

considerations may be excellent quality and reliability, excellent product differentiation and high brand equity,

excellent growth and diversification record and professional management, highly innovative and supportive working culture and superb human resource management.

STUDENTS CORNER

UNITED STATES PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS - IMPACT ON FINANCIAL MARKET

Denial of the strong pillars and the essence of democracy that has strengthened the foundations of it across the

Globe cannot be taken unjustified and in a fragile manner by any analyst or any individual that has taken a stand for the political front. The democracy which has created standards for the countries having the hub of parties

targeting the chairs of excellence esteemed positions.

Convergence of political and finance take place at every four years as twenty second amendment of the United

States constitution requires the election of president on every four years.

It has been usually seen that the beginning phase of presidential election have a recessive and bearish markets but

on the phase it witnessed a bullish and prosperous market.

Sound clarity of their vision and mission is lightened up in a very transparent manner by both the nominees towards

their mission” white house”. According to Wall Street experts, both Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump will be

negative for global markets. From the financial point of view, the choice between two is equivalent to the choice between the lesser of the two evils.

Several parameters which have been their base points for initiating a debate between both the nominees are trade

and immigration, taxation and spending which is some what important to understand from the financial point of

view.

If we see the part of Donald Trump-the showman-in the area of trade and immigration his idea of renegotiating or

breaking up of “NAFTA (North America Free Trade Agreement) and to impose import tariff as high of 35% is going

to affect the trade at global platform especially with China and Russia. This can invite reciprocation and initiation

of series of reactions like similar tariff imposition from other countries of the World.


Dwelling towards his immigration policies will cost the Federal Government $400 billion to $600 Billion, reduce the

workforce by 11 million workers and reduce the GDP by $1.6 trillion.

Tax reform structure by putting it into four brackets of zero, 10, 20 and 25 percent, debarring all deductions except

charitable and mortgage interest deduction. This will foster inequality in economy and will benefit only high class

income group. On the contrary, Hilary Clinton proposed “Buffet Tax”, imposing a minimum of 30 percent tax on

individuals with net income in excess of $1miilion and a further 4 percent surcharge on those with net income

excess of $5 million. Also proposing the repealing of “Cadillac Tax” which makes it more expensive for employers to provide High-end health care plans to their employee. On the whole, this will bring equality in economy and

aims to increase Federal Tax revenue corpus by $1.5 trillion over the next decade.

Giving a positive note towards immigration policy proposed by uncapping the number of green cards that can be

issued to spouses and unmarried children, which on an economic front will contribute to GDP of 3.3 percent.

It can be said, seeking the interest of the growth of United States economy, White House calls for their First Women

President to take over.
