This study has developed and tested a structural model that linking select demographics, risk propensity and risk analysis in SIDs. The primary data were collected from Senior Finance Professionals (CFOs, GMs, VPs and so on) representing 36 listed automotive companies operating in India. Based on the responses collected from a single cross-sectional mailed survey, this study finds that risk propensity has a significant positive influence on the extent of usage of risk analysis in SIDs.展开更多

However, compared with international trade and international finance, international investment lags behind in establishing an international coordination mechanism. The global trade and finance have had the WTO-based international trade system and the IMF-based international financial system respectively.
