Purpose - This study is an effort to assess the role of behavioral biases in investment decision making, specifically for mutual funds, and the moderating role of the investor. Individual investment behavior is concerned with choices about purchasing various securities. However, behavioral finance disputes the concept of perfect rationality and identifies psychological factors and their impact on decision-making. Research design, data, and methodology - A survey questionnaire was designed and used to collect responses using a judgmental sampling technique from 290 investors in the Gwalior Region. Cronbach's Alpha, factor analysis, and linear regression were all used to test the influence of behavioral biases on investment decision. Results - We found that the behavioral biases have a positive impact on investment decisions. Conclusions - This study's results identified three factors influencing investor behavior(rationale, investment skills, and profit making) and four factors influencing investor decisions (profit maker, market analysis, investment plan, seller). The overall results of the study also show that there is no significant relationship between investor behavior and investment decisions by gender in the market.

The purpose of this study is to investigate empirically interaction among the financing decision, investment decision, and profitability by using 41 fisheries corporations in Korea, and to suggest implications of the empirical results for government's financial policy for fisheries corporations. Sample period is 19 years from 1982 till 2000. This analysis method employs the two stage least squares(2SLS) estimation method. From the results of regression analysis by 2SLS estimation method, the adjusted $R^2$ values were high and the overall F values indicated significant. The empirical results of this study are as follows; (1) determinant factors of capital structure model for fisheries are profitability, firm-size, fisheries investment of total asset, and business risk. As pecking order theory explains, the higher is profitability the lower is debt ratio. The larger firm-size, the higher is debt ratio. The higher is fisheries investment of total asset and business risk, the higher is debt ratio. (2) determinant factors of investment model for fisheries are the change of sales, business risk, and debt ratio. These factors have positive relation to fisheries investment of total asset (3) determinant factors of profitability model for fisheries are fisheries investment of total asset and debt ratio. These factors have negative relation to profitability. On the basis of analysis results, on the government's financial policy for fisheries corporations, I suggests that with interest rate reduction, the government should lend more funds to solve the crisis in the financial structure of the fisheries firms

When firms are confronted with IT investment decision-makings, technical or financial factors are widely considered. However, based on sociotechnical systems theory, it is argued that in addition to the traditional factors, social issues must be considered in the IT investment decision-makings. Even though the strategic criteria of social issues within organization are important for IT investment decision-makings, the social or organizational issues are hardly considered in IT implementation and adoption(Ryan and Harrison, 2000). The objective of this study is to empirically verify how the comprehensive consideration of both of technical and organizational issues related with IT investment affects firm performance through its impact on IT technical capability and IT personnel skills. Senior managers of 153 Korean firms were surveyed, and the collected data were analyzed with PLS technique. The results of the PLS path analysis show that the comprehensive consideration of the technical and social issues affected indirectly firm performance through IT technical capability and IT personnel skills. It is found that the comprehensive consideration had a significant impact on IT technical capability and IT personnel skills, and that IT technical capability and IT personnel skills affected firm performance. IT personnel was also found to affect IT technical capability. Finally, this study found that the consideration of social factors had greater impacts on firm performance than that of technical factors.

본 연구의 목적은 CVC(Corporate Venture Capital)가 투자했던 기술창업기업에게 공통으로 보이는 투자동기와 투자 결정요인을 찾고 이를 분석하는데 있다. 2015년 부터 2018년 상반기까지 3년 6개월 동안 기술창업기업에 투자했던 17개 CVC를 대상으로 조사하였다. 그 결과, 본 연구에서 활용할 수 있는 최종적인 9개 CVC를 확정하였고 피투자기업 188개를 대상으로 확인하였다. 본 연구는 CVC 투자동기와 투자 결정요인을 확인하기 위해 사례연구로 진행하였다. 연구 결과, CVC의 투자동기로 4가지가 확인되었는데, 첫째, CVC는 강화형 투자에 집중하였으며, 둘째, 피투자기업의 업력으로는 초기에는 평균 19개월의 기술창업기업에게 투자하다가 최근에는 36개월의 검증된 기술 창업기업에 투자하였으며, 셋째, 피투자기업의 업종으로는 ICT서비스가 주를 이루었고, 넷째, 피투자기업의 단계로는 Series A~B의 단계에 집중되었다. CVC의 투자 결정요인에서는 제품/서비스와 모기업 연관성이 큰 영향을 미친다는 사실이 관찰되었다. 피투자기업의 창업선행요인으로는 혁신성, 기술 기능적 역량, 사업계획 수립 역량 등의 요인들이 크게 영향을 미쳤음이 확인되었고, 이러한 요인들이 CVC 투자 결정에 중요함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 살펴본 CVC의 투자동기와 투자 결정요인의 이해는 피투자자 대상의 창업 및 경영 교육프로그램, CVC의 투자 프로세스 수립에 근거를 제시한다. 본 연구의 결과는 CVC의 창업기업 투자 시 우수기업 선별, 창업교육 프로그램, 멘토링, 코칭 가이드라인 개발, 기타 투자기관의 투자 프로세스 수립에 활용될 수 있다.

This study extends the extant scope of understanding investment decision, beyond the dominant 'technical' emphasis on the application of discounted cash flow techniques. The research methodology draws the positivist and interpretive research paradigms. It uses a deductive approach, survey strategy and principal component analysis for the analysis. Three key sets of factors emerged as important in the investment decision process in the hydropower sector. They are: group consensus (framing), influences on own judgment (heuristics), and application of knowledge & experience (intuition). The use of purposive and convenient sampling might have some unintended impact on the findings. Consequently, any generalizations of the findings to a wider population of organizations and managers need to be made with care. It is hoped that this paper will encourage other researchers to go beyond the analytic techniques of investment appraisal that have dominated investment decision research and seek to balance the emphasis by focusing on human involvement and behavioral aspects of investment decision.

Recently much research efforts have focused on how to manage carbon emissions in logistics operations. This paper formulates a model to determine an optimal shipment size with aims to minimize the total cost consisting not only of inventory and transportation costs but also cost for carbon emissions. Unlike the literature assuming carbon emission factors as a given condition, we consider the emission factors as decision variables. It is allowed to make an investment in improving carbon emission factors. The optimal investment decision is shown to be of a threshold type with respect to unit investment costs. Moreover, the findings in this work provide insights on the various elements of the investment decision and their impacts.
