The UK’s financial sector consists of two roles in the EU. Firstly, as a core for wholesale banking actions conducted by major European banks, and also a key port of entry for non-EU investment entering the Single Market (Miethe, J, & Pothier, D, 2016), If future negotiations in regards to Brexit lead to British financial institutions losing their financial passport rights, both of these roles risk being significantly reduced. The major concern within the financial services is pass-porting, and if the UK will be able to access the EU financial market.
3.3.1 Threats
This challenge is seen as a threat which could cause major damage to the UK economy so in order to minimise the risk, weaknesses need to be analysed and reduced. Financial Services are an essential part of the UK economy and the vote to leave the EU has a number of substantial consequences associated with financial services sector. As London is capital of Europe’s financial system with a surplus in financial services of £63bm in 2015, there is major concerns associated with Brexit (Irwin, 2016). Financial centres within London may relocate and this will have a negative effect of the economy. If the UK loses passport rights large financial organisations may decide to relocate (Protts, 2016). Pass-porting allows UK banks etc. the opportunity to operate in other EU countries, however Brexit may impact these rights which may result in London losing its title of finical capital. This is a challenge for managers and the organisation as the structure and systems within organisations will need to change.

3.4.2 Weaknesses
Brexit may negatively impact on organisations through placing limits on cultural diversity through immigration restrictions. There will no longer be free movement of labour which will affect both manager’s and the organisation as they have less talented candidates to choose from. There may be skill gaps and oversupply of lower skilled workers that drags down wages. According to CBI, (2010) 45% of employers stated they find it difficult recruiting appropriate skilled staff.
Managers will have a much more culturally diverse workforce to deal with and this may cause problems for example if a company hires a disabled manager other employees could feel discriminated against as they have more qualifications. Low wage sectors will be affected as they depend on migrant labour, managers may now find it difficult to find staff to fill these roles.
In conclusion, the benefits of the UK’s membership in the EU outweigh the costs. The most significant benefit is the access they have to the single market as this has managed to benefit quite Access to single market is aiding this inward investment
With the floodgates open, it would be impractical and unsafe to deal with millions of dollars in cash. Under these circumstances, the implementation of a new and separate banking system is necessary, as the existing global financial institution will not be willing to go against international money laundering laws.
To better understand Brexit, one must know about the European Union (EU). The EU began following World War II with a purpose to create economic agreements amongst the countries of Europe. The belief behind the establishment of the EU is that countries whom trade with one another are less likely to go to war. Since its establishment, the EU has grown in number of member states and in the amount of power the governing bodies of the EU possess. In 1992, the EU became a single market as if it is one country. All new members of the EU must adopt the EU’s currency, the euro, in which 19 of the 28 countries have adopted. As a single market the EU parliament sets laws in many areas: environment, transport, consumer rights, etc. The single market allows
...with the dollar. He also points out that joining the Euro will boost up the inflation rates within the country, as the European inflation rates are currently higher than those of Britain. As for jobs, Browne believes that joining the Euro would destroy British jobs and would repel foreign investors, as it would be a profound shock to the economy and decrease Britain’s effectiveness in the business world. It would no longer be the country that has both - access to the European market and a separate secure currency closely tied with the dollar. The government of Tony Blair has heard many forecasts that multinational corporations will seek business elsewhere if Britain does join the Euro. Even the simple costs of retraining personnel, buying new machines and accounting systems would impose a burden on small businesses in the UK when changing the national currency.
On the other hand, UK is playing a major role in the single market. Thus, by leaving this market, UK
Nowadays, organizational change has a serious implication for the survival of an organization (Furst & Cable, 2008). Change is critical, necessary, and has becomes a key factor to win the game.
On the one hand, without international relations from the EU, Britain is economically and socially vulnerable. While Britain’s exit from the EU may define Britain’s power according to British citizens, the type of power that matters is relative power, which is the power when it is being compared to other states. If the other states do not recognize Britain as a force of power, then its exit from the EU is pointless. On the other hand, by discontinuing the benefits granted by the EU, Britain declines the assistance that could have helped the country to become more powerful. In other words, Brexit decreases a source of gathering power for Britain, since the EU not only offers economic opportunities, but it also provides useful information so that the member states can behave accordingly. Overall, realism suggests that while Brexit increases Britain’s confidence in being powerful, it also decreases the country’s power in a way.
Organizational structure within an organization is a critical component of the day to day operations of a business. An organization benefits from organizational structure as a result of all it encompasses. It is used to define how tasks are divided, grouped and coordinated. Six elements should be addressed during the design of the organization’s structure: work specialization, departmentalization, chain of command, spans of control, centralization and decentralization. These components are a direct reflection of the organization’s culture, power and politics.
The idea of change is the most constant factor in business today and organisational change therefore plays a crucial role in this highly dynamic environment. It is defined as a company that is going through a transformation and is in a progressive step towards improving their existing capabilities. Organisational change is important as managers need to continue to commit and deliver today but must also think of changes that lie ahead tomorrow. This is a difficult task because management systems are design, and people are rewarded for stability. These two main factors will be discussed with reasons as to why organisational change is necessary for survival, but on the other hand why it is difficult to accomplish.
During the past two decades, financial markets around the world have become increasingly interrelated. Financial globalization has brought considerable benefits to national economies and to investors, but it has also changed the structure of markets, creating new risks and challenges for market participants and policymakers. The international marketplace continues to present opportunities for companies. But change is constant and prudent so companies must work to minimize their risks while maximizing their opportunities. The International marketplace can offer considerable financial returns to companies conducting business but there are risks that have to be considered such as trade, foreign exchange, cash management, cross border financing, investment, and multi currency requirements. Especially, financial institutions (seeking a return on their capital, both financial and intellectual), who have developed the product engineering skills and innovation necessary to undertake cross-border financial activities.
would decline all its influence in EU rules, and it will stop following them, also the financial services passport will remain, but over time it values remain. Also Britain will contributes to EU budget, but will pay less, than countries in EU. But this scenario have few problems, first in that case Britain will have to get concessions not only in pro- migration Ester Europe, but also from France and Netherlands, , which do not want to set a precedent for anti-EU populists. Also, second problem, that it could be not enought for Britain. Because EU thinks, that they can find compromise, just then when it is on carefully limited migration curbs. And also, EU wants that Britain will be a rule-taker on the single market, and listen and follow EU on everything from financial services to digital policy. Also this scenario could be that , relations between Britain and the EU would be strained, but solid enought to agrre on tariff transition, and also agree trade terms. Also it is clear that Eu and Brtiain will not agrred on sovereignty or immigration, because the price is to high, and they will not find solution which will be good for both sides. But it is big chance that agreement on trading, will be successful, because if not both side will have
Experts view Globalisation as a threat to nation-states. Globalisation is the process of making the worlds economies and businesses more interconnected and interdependent essentially eliminating national borders in the respect of business and economic activities. An example of this would be the Euro, a currency developed by the EU in order to facilitate monetary transactions between states. It remains unknown wether the facilitation of movement of capital and labour between the nation of the EU will destroy the national identities of the single
Several factor have an impact on the work and occupational environment. Globalisation influenced the way business is conducted and will continuously change it, the increase in diversity in work environments also call for change and brought about a new concept of diversity management not only in South Africa, but also worldwide.
Never have I ever climbed a mountain peak. As a child, I imagined myself conducting expeditions in deep-frozen pathways, leading amateur explorers to the top of the world, and instructing rookies in surviving harsh blizzards. Even though slightly altered, my childhood dream has been achieved. I led a team of fellow classmates, in my Strategic Management course, to the success summit of a financial competition. Over the course of a semester, I and my teammates were supposed to create and manage a company of the IT industry, in a computer-simulated environment, along with other four rival teams. I dealt with strategy and financial matters of our virtual enterprise, while my colleagues were working on marketing and manufacturing. During the four months of the exercise, I have experienced finance from various aspects: capital budgeting, through selecting favorable investment for upcoming quarters; debt management, by assessing the necessary amount and efficiency of loans; profitability analysis and dividend policy, which had been used to compile the company’s general performance index. Working in a multinational team, which included an American, a Norwegian and a Moldovan, strengthen my negotiations skills, as well as flexibility and cooperation. But above all, this experience intensified my passion for finance. Of course, a pleasant bonus was the fact that, in the end, our company’s financial performance was six times the performance of second-best team.
