Abstract: This paper is an exploratory research on the application of capital budgeting techniques in Indian companies. This paper tries to explore the relationship between capital budgeting decisions and the firm’s size. Firm’s size has been defined as asset size, project size and turnover of the firm. This paper is based on the primary data. OLS (Observed least square Model) is used to evaluate the degree of relationship between asset size, project size and turnover of the firm with the frequency of capital budgeting techniques (FOT) and type of capital budgeting techniques (TOT) used by the companies. Using a sample size of 75 companies, the result shows that there is a positive relationship between frequency of capital budgeting techniques and application of discounted cash flow techniques with the firm’s asset size, project size and turnover of the firm. Our paper provides new insights about the frequency of the capital budgeting techniques used in the firms along with the type of technique used by the companies.

Abstract: Studies have shown that local public goods has long been significantly capitalized into housing prices in a large number of first-tier cities in China. Residents can directly obtain the public goods by purchasing houses. In addition, more deeper researcher show that there is spatial heterogeneity in the capitalization rate of local public goods. In this paper, based on the transaction data of the new residential houses in Zhengzhou from 2006 to 2015, the Spatial Autoregressive model (SAR) and Geographical Weighted Regression (GWR) are uesed to explore premium effect of the high quality educational resources, subway stations and other local public goods. The empirical results show that, in Zhengzhou, the capitalization effect of "key primary schools" and subway stations on housing prices is significant, and the spatial heterogeneity of its capitalization effect exists. However, the effect of the parks and the top-hospitals is not significant in the real estate market of Zhengzhou.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to seek evidence of the significant effect of word of mouth (WOM) on the attitudes of potential consumers. The study tested the following two research hypotheses. (1) WOM will have both positive and negative effect on the probability of consumers purchase and attitudes towards products. (2) That negative WOM effect on consumers purchase and attitude towards a product will be stronger than the positive. The results of the study indicate that WOM, both have negative and positive, and can influence the attitudes and predict purchase behavior of consumers. This study cannot give reliable estimates of the precise magnitude of this effect due to the lack of significant differences between the experimental groups and the control group. It is contended by several authors that the influence of negative WOM is more than positive, however, this proposition was not supported by this study.
