- 1st International Symposium SMEs and BASEL II
-
May 1, 2008 - May 3, 2008,
Izmir University of Economics Izmir TurkeySmall and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have significant importance in the Turkish economy as well as in the economies of many developing and developed countries. 99.5% of businesses operating in Turkey can be classified as SMEs. These companies provide employment to approximately 64% of workforce and contribute about 36% to the GDP.
SMEs have very significant share in the Turkish economy, but are easily affected by the changes in competitive and technological environments as well as alterations in rules and regulations governing business applications and economic activities. Because of advantages due to their lean organizational structure, SMEs can respond to changes faster than larger corporations. However, there are various disadvantages, such as managerial shortcomings caused by lack of professional managers and skilled employees, problems in the process of institutionalization, deficiencies in management information systems, and insufficiencies of capital, all of which are caused by an organizational structure common to all SMEs. Therefore, Basel II, one of the most important issues of the financial system in Europe, has been the center of attention of both credit companies and SMEs in Turkey, since this risk-based credit rating system will have radical effects on the types, limits, costs and terms of credits to be used by SMEs. - full details

-
May 1, 2008 - May 1, 2008,
Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London, England, United KingdomThe World Water Speed Record is the pinnacle of sporting achievement on water; a compelling contest enacted against a backcloth of wind and wave, distance and time. The current holder is Australia’s Ken Warby. At the controls of Spirit of Australia, he set a speed of 317.60mph 30 years ago.
Nigel Macknight has devoted two decades to achieving his dream of recapturing the World Water Speed Record for Great Britain with a turbofan-propelled hydroplane, Quicksilver. In his compelling multi-media presentation, Macknight describes the technical and human aspects of the challenge. Drawing on history and more recent experience, he explains why Warby’s record remains unbroken, why contenders have lost their lives pursuing it, why he believes his venture will succeed where others have failed, and why the endeavour is ultimately worth the personal, engineering and financial risk. - full details

This conference is designed to give up to the minute advice on all aspects of CBP’s programs such as the new 10 + 2 Initiative, C-TPAT, and maximizing the use of the ACE portal, along with providing case studies from leading compliance experts from a cross section of Industry.
