These stocks usually show a strong tendency to abnormally high risk-adjusted rate of return. Thus we should expect small stocks to outperform large stocks in the future. Meanwhile, the value-growth effect is also found by Fama and French. This finding is also verified by real data. The only reason is any asset consistently outperforms in a rational, efficient market: because they are riskier. Thus we can expect the value stocks outperform growth stocks,

Linn expected that Australian and Indian ore exports would begin in 2003, and that new supplies would significantly increase trading volumes. Demand for capesizes would likely increase with these higher trading volumes, possibly boosting prices. According to Exhibit 5, we can get the following data: From the table above, we can find that worldwide iron ore vessel shipments and charter rates had been very strongly associated historically. Iron ore vessel shipments and daily hire rate changed in the same direction. Moreover, 3-yr charter rates changed much more than iron ore vessel shipments, while spot rates tended to fluctuate more widely than 3-yr charter rates. As mentioned above, Australian production in iron ore expected to be strong and Indian iron ore exports expected to take off in the next few years. I expect worldwide iron ore vessel shipments to increase stably in the long run, which would have a positive effect on daily hire rates. In terms of supply, the number of ships available equaled the number of vessels in service the previous year plus any new ships delivered minus any scrappings and sinkings. As shown in Exhibit 2, most of the capacity of the worldwide fleet of capesizes was fairly young, there would be very few scrappings in next years. As shown in Exhibit 3, numbers of new ships delivered experienced a downward trend, which means the supply would increase more slowly in the long run. As a result, daily hire rates would be expected to rise in the long run. I take an optimistic view of the long-term prospects of the capesize dry bulk industry. According to the information in the case, we can get the following table: Operating days: Initially, 8 days a year were scheduled for maintenance and repairs. The time allotted to maintenance and repairs increased to 12 days per year after five years of operation, and to 16 days a year for ships older than ten years. Daily operating costs: For a new ship coming on line in early 2003, operating costs were expected to initially average 4,000perday,andtoincreaseannuallyatarateof14,000 per day, and to increase annually at a rate of 1% above inflation. The expected rate of inflation was 3%. Expenditures for special surveys: Capital expenditures anticipated in preparation for the special surveys would each be depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 5-year period. Depreciation: The ship would cost 4,000perday,andtoincreaseannuallyatarateof139 million, and the value would be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 25 years. a) Assume Ocean Carriers Case Solution is a US firm subject to 35% taxation, we can calculate

The method used to decide at which schools to recruit was initially met with resistance from the senior management. It was viewed as "going downstream". The initial strategy was based the top 25 business schools at that time. The concept made sense because one would not go to an architectural school for medical interns. The concept behind Rae's initial strategy was to focus on recruiting at the top 10 of the top 25 schools and at first glance it seemed like an excellent concept. Realizing that larger organizations, "with huge recruiting budgets, recognized brand names and…, larger hiring needs", had chosen to use a similar strategy Rae revaluated his initial plan. Rae then developed a second strategy that was focused on recruiting at the later 15 schools of the top 25. The second strategy was actually a better idea and more in line with an "employers market". An employer's market is a scenario in which the field of candidates can get crowded and the prospects restricted and will give the candidates less leverage to negotiate lucrative salaries and/or benefit packages. Choosing to focus on the later 15 versus the top 10 was a great idea for competitive reasons as well. It would allow sg cowen new recruits case to focus on recruiting its candidates with less likely hood of the larger organizations going after the same individual. Rae's strategy did have its disadvantages. The fact that the negative recruiting hiring experience was open to resumes from candidates attending noncore schools helps to counterbalance the failure to expand the recruiting neighborhood. But, it did not offset the loss of organization advertising and name recognition. SG Cowen's presence on campus is a must to ensure the best opportunity for potential candidates to be recruited and educated on the subject of SG Cowen and the opportunities that are available within the organization, especially within the centralized recruiting method that Rae has implemented. Holding on-campus recruiting programs at its "core business schools" is an excellent recruiting method that allowed the organization to have a strong foothold within the schools community and provide a positive influence within the schools administration. The presence of SG Cowen on the college campus is a direct indication that they do believe that "they are recruiting not just for the present but for the long term". One of the biggest strengths of SG Cowen's centralized recruiting method was the placement of "team captains" at each of the core schools. The placement of the team captains is a direct implementation method of the theory "we are who we recruit". Another symbolic action of that theory was ensuring that the team captains were baking professionals and alumni of the particular schools of recruitment. The placement of the captains ensured that there was a consistent and familiar point of contact for the candidates. It allowed the candidates to establish a proverbial relationship and alliance with the company. The team captain brought the same consistency and familiarity to SG Cowen as an organization.
