Impact of Foreign Bank Entry on Host Country

Impact of Foreign Bank Entry on Host Country Literature Review In many countries, the entry of foreign banks has been increased on a high scale during the 1990s especially in the countries which are less developed. Due to financial linearization policies, the entry of foreign banks operations increased during the early 1990s which in turn allowed foreign banks to set up their branches in host country and performing their operations (Claessens, et al. 2001).This rapid growth has led to many questions that are being raised for their presence in the domestic banking markets. The three major consequences which led to their tremendous growth are competition which will be affected by their presence, the efficiency of domestic banks and the less proof that we have about this consequences (Liebscher, et al. 2006). The only broad study was based on Claessens, et al. (2001) analysis which focused on the efficiency and competition effects of foreign banks entry. This study had various variables which measured income, profits and costs of domestic banks ref lecting changes in both competition and efficiency of domestic banking markets. It was a turn-around i.e. a negative relationship between the presence of foreign banks and factors like profitability, non-interest income and extra curricular income of the domestic banking markets. The size of the banks in terms of market share was supported by Claessens, et al. (2001) study due to only presence of foreign banks due to three factors. First, it led more demands for domestic banks to give up their profits and huge income. Secondly, it forces domestic banks to prove them to be more efficient which in turn will reduce costs. And finally, domestic banks will try to portrait few of the banking techniques and practices which will reduce costs. Though many emerging countries fear about letting foreign banks enter their host country, the liberalization of banking policies have made it clear that in an open market, they can face challenges about the entrants of foreign banks in the host country and their efficient working styles (Liebscher, et al. 2006). The entry of foreign banks will lead to two major effects. One, the domestic banks will be in the bad loans section due to attractive power of foreign banks and good practices which they follow. Two, the local banks can benefit from their better technologies that they use for learning. Though there will be competition possessed by both the domestic and foreign banks, one thing is for sure that domestic financial market will gain by lowering the interest rates for taking a loan (Mathieson, Schinasi and International Monetary Fund 2000). The authors Caprio and Honohan (2002) has discussed in more details about the factors which led to increase role of foreign banks in emerging markets. They said that the increase in ownership of foreign banks in emerging markets is one of the faces of the ongoing consolidation of banking system in both developed and emerging markets. The globalization of financial services industry, banks are facing more competition from non-bankers for credit and financial services, particularly security markets, which has put immense pressures on the interests rate margins and profits, which in turn has led to a change in the franchise value of banks (Folkerts-Landau and Chadha 1999). In the recent decades, banking has become information, communication and computation intensive industry. There is a decline seen in both domestic and across border to handle these activities (Mathieson, Schinasi and International Monetary Fund 2000). In many less developed countries, there is an inefficiency which is seen in domestic banks and there is a lack of competition among lenders in high borrowing costs and there is a limited financial access for many firms. The entry of foreign banks may increase the supply of credit and improve efficiency, by increasing the competition. However many banking theories have found an asymmetric relationship which demonstrates reducing access to credit for some firms by greater competition (Petersen and Rajan 1995). There is a huge amount of money involved in finding information about local firms which may limit foreign banks to cream-skimming, where they lend only to that firms who are more profitable and which adversely affect both domestic banks and firms that rely on them (Gormley 2007). The general liberalization of banking policy, many emerging markets have been reducing barriers to trade in the financial service since the early 1990s. There have been many significant changes in the re strictions of entry of foreign banks which have been motivated for improving the level of competition and efficiency in the banking sector. Mainly they have been triggered just to reduce the cost of restructuring and recapitalization which in turn is building an institutional structure in the banking sector which is healthier to future domestic and external shocks (Mathieson, Schinasi and International Monetary Fund 2000). Effects of foreign bank entry There are many effects which have given a sharp rise in the level pf participation of foreign banks entering a host country. The hosts country in which the foreign banks enter have a clear evidence that by entering into emerging markets, there will be an overall positive effect in the banking system in terms of its efficiency and stability of the system. Allowing foreign banks to enter is typically viewed as having the most beneficial effects when such entry occurs in the context of a more general liberalization of trade and production of financial services. It has been argued that general liberalization of trade in financial services induces countries to produce and exchange financial services. This in turn allows the domestic banks to inherit few of its services that are helpful in nature. This would be especially true for foreign branches of international banks since they are supervised on a consolidated basis. For example, the local subsidiary of international banks is an entity on its own Caprio and Honohan (2002). Failure of that will be in turn monitored by the parent bank. The new products and services provided by the foreign banks will give an idea for the domestic banks to follow the same to be more efficient by upgrading the quality and size of its staff. The branches and subsidiaries of major international banks have good practice of disclosure, accounting and reporting requirements that are closely aligned with international best practices. To inculcate this into the domestic bank market, the overall quality of the information about the state of the banking system will be improved on a high scale. Also, when crisis arise, foreign banks help the domestic residents to do their capital flight at home, thus, adding stability to the system. On the other hand, many argue that the entry of foreign banks in host country can worsen the banking system. If the domestic banks have weak capital and are inefficient in nature, for example, they may respond opposi te to increase foreign entry by undertaking high risks activities in an attempt to earn good returns. It has been seen during the early period of liberalization that foreign banks tend to attract or take less risky customers i.e. cherry-pick the most creditworthy domestic markets and customers, leaving behind more risky customers for the domestic market to serve. This happened during the liberalization period which hold loans with fixed interest rates and had to compete with other financial firms that were lending it on higher rates and offer high deposit interests rates. During this period, many disadvantaged institutions got worse; few of them undertook high returns with high risk activities (Mathieson, Schinasi and International Monetary Fund 2000). Apart from the impact of foreign bank entry upon the stability of domestic banks, there have been also concerns about the behavior of foreign banks. During the crisis period, it was noted that foreign banks were involved in lending mo ney to cross border financial firms than to lend it to domestic firms who were badly affected. In this way, the behavior turned out to be opposite thus violating the international practice that was followed. Finally, the issue concerning the supervision of foreign banks is of great concern. The entry of foreign banks is a means of importing supervision for at least a portion of the banking system, simultaneously improving the quality of staff and practices of domestic supervising. They site the examples of Banks of Credit and Commerce International which has fallen between the cracks that complex cross-border financial transaction undertaken by international banks may be difficult to supervise by either the host or home country supervisors (Mathieson, Schinasi and International Monetary Fund 2000). Despite worries that foreign firms could destabilize domestic finance, some countries have remained low on admitting the fact that foreign owned financial firms could destabilize the local financial system, thus, putting them out of business. It was seen that the prosperity of foreign banks in the host country tends to be correlated with that of the countries in which it operates; it would rather show a long-term commitment to the host countries. There is very little evidence to support these fears, despite the growing presence of foreign owned financial intermediaries, by improving the overall operating efficiency, thus, gaining improvements in both official and private elements on the financial infrastructure and long term growth (Levine, Loayza and Beck 2000). Foreign banks become more than niche player in financial sectors. In high income and upper middle income countries, they represent more that one in five of the banks which usually account for much less than 10 percent of local banking assets. Thus, they become niche player in catering international trade business and foreign companies. Even before the expansion takes place in the host country, foreign owned financial firms have a huge share in poorer countries. Even if they have high operating costs, foreign owned banks are more profitable than local banks which imitate their investment in good quality services. They also have high interest margins and high tax payments. The smaller the country the more likely is to reply on foreign owned banks. But few big countries like India and Indonesia have good amount of share of these foreign owned banks Caprio and Honohan (2002).

Cultural Adaptation and Career

How cultural adaptation influence professional belief and career development of Chinese students in UMN?Introduction The influence of cultural diversity is some of the most critical issues facing the United States today. Census data show that the non-white population is rapidly increasing – this is a huge reserve of human potential, which makes the multicultural focus a top priority for vocational education and development. These diverse cultural groups include some international students coming to the United States to take advantage of higher education opportunities. After completing their studies, many of these students choose to stay in the United States in order to pursue work and build family. The career development and consulting needs of this multicultural workforce are very different from the established norms. It is important to understand and solve their needs for the country's cultural and psychological adjustment. Therefore, counselors and professional professionals in universities and workplaces need to have specific cultural information and skills that contribute to effective vocational education/consulting. Most of the differences between cultures come from various worldviews that people hold. Lee and Rice (2007) and Dee and Henkin (1999) point out that in this society, the worldview of racial and ethnic minorities is different from that of European Americans. The worldview contains all cultural norms, customs, folk cultures and cultural adaptation behaviors that are passed on to future generations in an identifiable group. Values, interests, family and interpersonal relationships largely depend on these worldviews, and these worldviews are assumed to influence career choices. The worldview of ethnic minority customers will influence their career decisions in ways that may differ from most people. In order to provide culturally appropriate services, professional professionals in universities and workplaces must have a keen understanding of the team's worldview. In order to understand more about the concept of worldview related to career development, Marsella and Leong (1995) suggest positioning individual clients in the continuum of national cultural identity and determining the relative importance of individual or cultural characteristics to individuals. For example, when a person is fully integrated into society, interest/preference may be more relevant to career development. However, for a more traditional individual, cultural influence may play a more important role in career development. Marsella and Leong (1995) suggest that career counseling for different customers should consider three factors: cross-cultural similarities, and culturally unique aspects that influence members and personal characteristics. Another way to better understand the worldview is to study the individual's level of cultural adaptation. Marsella and Leong (1995) pointed out that cultural adaptation has become an important variable in psychological research because it helps to highlight and explain the huge heterogeneity existing in ethnic/ethnic immigrant groups. Cultural adaptation levels have been found to influence psychological and physical health variables, including work values, career orientation, and career choices (Kubat ; Kuruuzum, 2009).In short, with the increase in the multicultural nature of the U.S. labor force, it has become imperative to appropriately address the unique career development needs of customers from different ethnicities. Marasella and Leong (1995) indicate that by understanding the customer's worldview, unique career development needs can be met. Research on ethnic identity and cultural adaptation can help to learn a worldview.Many international students are looking for jobs in the United States, which is a factor in increasing the multicultural workforce. For this reason, using this population for world outlook (cultural adaptation and ethnic identity) and career development studies will be particularly useful. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between professional beliefs and cultural adaptation levels of international students from China. It has been found that cultural adaptation and career development may be related to several other important factors, for example,People's specific nationality: Even if they come from the same continent, the cultural adaptability of people from different countries is also different (Jacob ; Greggo, 2001);People's age: Age is positively related to professional identity (ie older people may have stronger professional identity). The negative correlation between age and cultural adaptation indicates that it is difficult for older people to adhere to the norms of the new culture (Suinn, Ahuna ; Khoo, 1992, 1995; Shufen ; Brown, 2001);Level of education: Interestingly, studies by Shu Fen and Brown (2001) show that education levels are negatively correlated with cultural adaptation. This suggests that better-educated individuals may not be comfortable, and vice versa.Term of residence in the United States: There is a negative correlation between the length of residence in the United States and cultural adaptability, indicating that people with shorter residence periods tend to have less culture. There is a positive correlation between living time and professional identity, which means that people who live longer in the United States have stronger professional identities (Suinn, Ahuna ; Khoo, 1992, 1995; Shu-fen ; Brown, 2001);Gender: There seems to be a conflict regarding the influence of gender on cultural adaptation. Although there was no significant relationship between gender and cultural adaptation and professional identity and gender, the study (Lopez ; Ann-Yi, 2006) also showed that the process of cultural adaptation was affected by gender.In this study, information on nationality, age, US resident status and gender will be collected. It also will study the influence of the above factors on cultural adaptation and professional beliefs, with particular emphasis on the influence of gender.Propose of the studyThe main purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between cultural adaptation and factors that influence the professional beliefs of international students from China. The adaptation of a cultural group to another cultural group can be demonstrated by changing language preferences, adopting common attitudes and values, joining common social groups and institutions, and losing individual political or ethnic identity. Professional beliefs are people's assumptions about themselves and what they must do to succeed in the world of work. Specifically, this study will examine whether these international student's cultural adaptation will affect current employment status, career planning, acceptance of uncertainty, openness, university education, sense of control, sense of responsibility, career path flexibility, after training. The attitude of transition, relocation and other occupational beliefs are perseverance and hard work.The study will examine whether the relationship between cultural adaptation and professional beliefs is influenced or mitigated by gender. Research questions Are there any influence from cultural adaption on professional beliefs and career development of Chinese students in UMN? How cultural adaption influence professional beliefs and career development of Chinese students in UMN?MethodsParticipants are Chinese students in UMN. The questionnaire will be delivered through university email. There are also potential follow-up interview.Two scales will be used in this study:First one is Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale (SL-ASIA). Suinn, et al have developed SL-ASIA as a self-reported measurement of cultural adaption (Suinn, et al, 1987). There are 26 options including language, behavior, generation/geography history and attitude in this scale. In the score, the total value is obtained by summing the answers to all items. The final cultural fitness score is then calculated by dividing the total by 26. The conservation level on SL-ASIA ranged from 1 to 5, the low range was 1 to 2.33 (Asian mark), the medium range was 2.34 In order to obtain a structural validity assessment, Suinn, Ahuna and Khoo (1992) used 324 Asian students from Colorado (137 first generation, 76 second generation, 31 third generation, 26 fourth generation and 14 fifth generation participants who performed factor analysis on SL-ASIA. Their results showed that five interpretable factors accounted for 69.7% of the variance between different variables. The other one is Career Beliefs Inventory (CBI). The Occupational Belief Scale (CBI) (Krumboltz ; Jackson,1993) is built based on data collected from 7,500 people, ranging in age from 12 to 75 years. The original 122 items has been separated into 25 scales consisting of 96 projects. Grades. These projects were written in the eighth grade. Participants stated their agreement to a statement based on the 5-point Likert scale, strongly agreeing that the active wording project scored 5 points, and strongly disagreed with a score of 1 point. The negative wording items are reverse scores, so strong opposition will get scores of 5 points, and strong opposition scores of 1. These scores are then converted into proportional scores ranging from 10 to 50. The difference factor between them and the project score is 10, so the proportional score is ten times that of the time average score.(After collecting data, I will use SPSS or R to build a model and do some simple analysis between SL-ASIA factors – language, behavior, generation/geography history and attitude – and professional beliefs. Based on this conclusion, I will give some recommendations about career development of Chinese students in US.)Reference:Dee, J., ; Henkin, A. (1999).

Where strategic management used

1. IntroductionStrategic direction is normally used big transnational corporations and SMEs. The popularity of strategic direction points out that it is likely to hold value. However, the existent advantage is non ever clear in strategic direction. Business proprietor, directors and direction forces should understand the advantages of scheme direction and that can do company go more and more competitory ( Robinson, 2005 ) . Each of these schemes is a cardinal constituent to deriving a competitory advantage in a peculiar industry. This assignment is to discourse and analysis the critical reappraisal of the subject chosen and offer sentiment on its pertinence. First, I will summary the article of my chosen, and so discourse the critical reappraisal, after that I will finish the personal rating.2. Summary of the articleStrategic direction is composed of assorted concern schemes, it can be combined to use and accomplish net incomes and advantages, standing in the concern universe ‘s acme eventually. The article points out that competitory advantage include four major constituents, following by quality, client reactivity, invention, and efficiency. High quality is including design, dependability, lastingness and image. Every clients think about whether bargain a merchandise, they ever think in these conditions. There are three international schemes to see: market, entry of manner and expand/location schemes. Market determinations are based on the strategians ‘ positions of chief foreign markets about merchandise, monetary value, distribution and publicity. In sing international market moves, direction and selling forces must see to the types of versions that will necessitate to be made in order to vie successfully in that peculiar civilization. Each of these schemes can play of import function in the success of a company. Choose a scheme that is non congruous with the ideals and values of the company possibly lead to fiscal and catastrophe of direction. The director must see carefully taking what facets of their company merit the most attending.3. Critical reappraisals* Jules ( 2009 ) states that â€Å"Competitive advantage includes four major constituents, following by quality, client reactivity, invention, and efficiency. High quality is including design, dependability, lastingness and image. When people think of a merchandise or services, they think in these terms.† As a client, I wholly agree this point. For illustration, in China, when we want to purchase an car in the market, many of us would wish to take a Toyota or Nissan over a auto from local industry. Because Toyota or other foreign car typically have a repute of a high quality, up-to-data design, they ever run on the route, so that they must be high quality, better warrant in people ‘s feeling. High quality is a strategic manner to acquire success.Jules ( 2009 ) point that â€Å"Superior efficiency refers to the cost to the market via stuffs, production, logistics, and operating expense. Superior client reactivity is the importance of expecting and run intoing client needs.†An organisation demand to set clients foremost. We ever heard that â€Å"The client comes first† , â€Å"The client is king† , and â€Å"we are all about the customer† . But a batch of companies did non really do it. Now yearss, Many companies enterprises for bettering client reactiv ity can change greatly, harmonizing to Apple computing machine, it is a really good illustration of client reactivity. When you order a merchandise from Apple, you can take to any types of their phones you like through their web site. Order procedure is really easy, merely a few proceedingss. Fast bringing, accurate, and there is 800 figure that can name to acquire aid after gross revenues or, they can besides utilize the Internet to happen a solution. Their gross revenues representative and selling representatives visit clients on a regular basis assess the demands of the market. By understanding their clients what they want, need to work expeditiously and efficaciously, Apple can creatively innovation. The company is continually making new merchandises, such as ipad, iphone, iPod series.Jules ( 2009 ) states that â€Å"Creating an environment that encourages creativeness, new and advanced thought is a hard but necessary undertaking that directors must encompass. By promoting a le arning organisation, companies can avoid the same, repeated rhythms that limit the ability of that organisation ‘s success.†Employees are the most valuable plus to your company. They can do many positive parts to your company. Making an environment that encourages creativeness, trust, regard and squad thought will guarantee these types of parts, which will finally profit the company. Whenever possible offer that preparation and calling development chances to employees. Promote them to develop their strengths and endowments. By making so they can go on to turn and progress in the company. Whenever possible give your staff assignments that challenge and stimulate them. This will assist them to go on to be productive and efficient in their work. When a error or mistake is made by a staff member, do n't merely indicate it out, assist them to happen ways of rectifying the job so it does non go on once more ( Businessknowledgesource.com, 2011 ) .Jules ( 2009 ) states that â₠¬Å"Core competences are cardinal elements in developing an effectual corporate scheme and are defined by Prahalad and Hamel as the â€Å" corporate acquisition in the organisation particularly how to organize diverse production accomplishments and incorporate multiple watercourses of engineerings. †Core competences are those capablenesss that are critical to a concern accomplishing competitory advantage. The get downing point for analysing nucleus competences is acknowledging that competition between concerns is every bit much a race for competency command as it is for market place and market power. Senior direction can non concentrate on all activities of a concern and the competences required set abouting them. So the end is for direction to concentrate attending on competences that truly affect competitory advantage.4. Personal rating ( suggestion/recommendation )Quality merchandises and services give the company a immaculate repute in the industry. This repute allows the company to derive new clients and sell extra merchandises and services to bing clients. A choice direction plan besides removes inefficient procedures within the system. By taking unneeded procedures, employee productiveness additions. The employee is passing less clip on activities that do non lend to the merchandise ‘s quality. As a consequence, the employee is bring forthing more work in less clip while the company has non increased the wage. Quality direction plans help to recapture lost monies due to inefficiencies ( Taylor, 2010 ) . Quality direction ensures client satisfaction. Conduct client satisfaction studies to understand the qualities of the merchandise of import to the client. Besides conduct studies with those who are non the company ‘s clients. This will besides supply penetration into why these concerns use the services of the rival. Use client studies to aim those characteristics of a merchandise or service that need betterment. The choice direction plan provides a methodological analysis to utilize to make the type of merchandise the client desires ( Taylor, 2010 ) . The intent of client reactivity is to develop client trueness penchant of clients for an organisation ‘s merchandises and services so that they continue utilizing them. When an organisation is successful at making client trueness it can bear down a premium monetary value that the clients are willing to pay for that something extra they get and that they do non acquire elsewhere ( maxizip.com, 2010 ) . Organizations that provide superior client reactivity wage attending to several facets such as client response clip, superior design, superior service, and superior after gross revenues support. Customer response clip is the clip it takes for the merchandise to be delivered to the client. An organisation that takes less clip to react to its clients reaches them earlier than its rivals. In this mode, that organisation additions on clip crushing its rivals and deriving competitory advantage. Superior design and service backed by superior after gross revenues support is another manner organisations try to function their clients better than their rivals do. For illustration, nomadic phones have evolved from being simple communicating device to going sophisticated, multiple characteristic appliances, reacting to clients ‘ demands as clip went by. Those nomadic phone companies that have succeeded in offering better nomadic phones with more characteristics have systematically outrival ed their rivals. As they did so, they were able to bear down a premium monetary value that their clients are happy to pay ( maxizip.com, 2010 ) .1. Culture of Fun!Make it a policy for your office environment to be a fun topographic point to work with. The construct of merriment at work promotes creativeness, lowers stress degree and extremely likely to increase productiveness because your employees, your co-workers enjoys working at that place. Set understandings on no judgements, that we are all here to bask each other ‘s illustriousness and merriment while working. Agreements on balance of playing and earnestness of work, a balance of merriment and presenting consequences. For some, merriment can besides be stated as a nucleus values. Which I know for certain several of my squads and companies that I work with bashs have that as our nucleus values ( Chang, 2010 ) .2. Making the Environment!Post up merriment images, happy images and most significantly colourful image. Vibrant and colorful ocular reminders create a sense of animation in the environment. Some of the possible images that you can post up are mascot that represents each nucleus values separately. For illustration, one of the company ‘s nucleus values is trueness, what animate being would come into your head when you think of trueness? The image that comes to mind possibly Canis familiariss and so you can post images of a sketch Canis familiaris by the side of your nucleus value. Print your nucleus values out large along with the images! This will besides move as your reminder for all your nucleus values along with the associations. Peoples tend to retrieve better with images and associations ( Chang, 2010 ) .3. Toys Zone!Put some squeeze-able playthings like squidgy balls around for you to squash on every now and so. Squash it when you are believing or when you feel bored. Bring it in meetings. It will assist excite your senses that may be really utile to assist you remain awake and pr esent. Have some other playthings that you can happen in toy stores, perchance toys that can be played with several people. Something like low powered plaything guns with soft slugs around. Take it out and play with your co-workers or household every clip the crust seeps out. This would assist to de-stress as playing most of the clip lead to laughter which after about 10 proceedingss would bring forth happy endocrines. Some playthings that makes amusing sounds helps excessively. Particularly in a overtly quiet state of affairs, a sudden daze of a amusing sound extremely like to turn into a explosion of laughter ( Chang, 2010 ) . Harmonizing to ( Bain.com, 2011 ) , to develop Core Competencies a company must:Isolate its cardinal abilities and hone them into organisation broad strengths ;Compare itself with other companies with the same accomplishments, to guarantee that it is developing alone capablenesss ;Develop an apprehension of what capabilities its clients genuinely value, and invest consequently to develop and prolong valued strengths ;Create an organisational route map that sets ends for competency edifice ;Pursue confederations, acquisitions and licencing agreements that will farther construct the organisation ‘s strengths in nucleus countries ;Promote communicating and engagement in nucleus capableness development across the organisation ;Preserve nucleus strengths even as direction expands and redefines the concern ;Outsource or divest noncore capablenesss to liberate up resources that can be used to intensify nucleus capablenesss.5. DecisionIn decision, through treatments of this chosen subj ect, I analysis that these points about strategic direction. Each of these schemes can play an of import function in the success of a company. Choosing a scheme that is non congruous with the ideals and values of the house can take to fiscal and managerial catastrophe. Directors must take careful consideration when taking what countries of their company merit the most attending. Companies will go dead without uninterrupted evolvement and acquisition, taking to fiscal hurt and, perchance, the extinction of the company. As directors, it is our occupation to guarantee that our company survives among the remainder.

The Media And Its Impact On The Modern World Essay

Over the past century, communications media has grown by leaps and bounds, both in terms of technological advancement and the sheer ability to impact society in a greater way. Other factors like globalization notwithstanding, the media moguls have definitely played a major role in the development of the communications media over the past century. Media is one of the most powerful and essential part of a country’s economy in the modern world (Vartanova, 2013) Globally, media and media moguls are affected by political, social and cultural nature of its target audience and entrepreneurial activity respectively. Paddy Scannell also rightly states that the key factors important in shaping communications are social, economic, cultural and political (Scannell, Social Aspects of Media history) ‘Media moguls’ as a construct can be understood to mean an entrepreneur or businessperson who controls by means of personal ownership or a dominant position controls a big conglomerate of different media houses. According to Wikipedia, such ownership by media moguls, first became prominent in the US in the 19th century with the development of mass circulation newspapers. In the 20th century, proprietorship expanded to include electronic media (radio and television) networks, film studios, publishing houses, and more recently internet and other forms of multimedia companies. The term media mogul has evolved in usage from press baron, to media baron and now media mogul.
