It is also important to note that for the logistic related PE, general partner returns variability is yet another risk factor. It can be noted that for the eight years preceding 2005, Asia's fund returns variance was relatively higher in comparison to the U.S. And Western Europe variance (INSEAD 2010). While the variance in the U.S. And Europe stood at 15% and 13% respectively, Asia's fund returns variability was registered as 23%. Though this could be driven partly by manager-selection skills, such a selection could turn out to be an uphill task for such a logistic related PE given the nature of the market.
It may also be prudent to note that according to the INSEAD survey; most limited partners are currently dissatisfied with their existing general partners (INSEAD, 2010). For the limited partners of a PE seeking to set up operations in Hong Kong, this could yet be another key consideration to take into account. The dissatisfaction stated above chiefly emanates from strategy drift, operational issues as well as poor returns. Furthermore, in our case, limited partners of the logistic related PE starting operations in Hong Kong could face challenges while seeking to select a portfolio which in addition to being moderate in terms of risk also comes across as being well-diversified. The challenge here may further be compounded by the fact that quite a good number of general partners lack appropriate track records. Therefore, for limited partners, it may be advisable...

" (Sinha and Batra, 1999) Sinha and Batra state that "most researchers now content that a generalized price -- quality relationship does not exist" although the "degree to which a higher price implies higher quality" has been examined and as well has been the "topic of considerable research in marketing." (1999) Therefore for the purpose of this study this antecedent relating to price consciousness will not be a variable in understanding

Staying Private or Going Public: Thoughts and Considerations Many companies that develop to a particular size will view the act of going public as an organic step in their natural journey. Even so, many companies still choose not to go public and still enjoy relative success, while still remaining privately owned companies.

Law Firm Marketing Strategy International marketing involves firms' marketing mix decisions across international boundaries. On the other hand, international marketing involves an operating marketing strategy to capture the markets across national boundaries.

L billion in 2007. This growth can be seen to represent the increasing interest of Chinese firms in acquiring resources, technology and brands outside of their own country (Carpenter & Wyman, 2009).
