Staring Into the Abyss: The Endgame ComethFor consumers, pensioners, businesses and investors, theseare very strange and worrying times. The one thing I can saywith certainty is that the fall out from the financial crisis willhave a severe impact on us, our children and grandchildren –whether they are born yet or not.

The looming crisis will be huge and sadly those whom weelected to power do not yet get it. The longer they leave it theworse it will be, and consumers and many business people arejoining the politicians in sleepwalking into the bleak future of asecond Great Depression.

But don’t just take my word for it. Sir Mervyn King, theGovernor of the Bank of England, recently warned that “this isthe most serious financial crisis we’ve seen at least since the1930s, if not ever”. Angela Merkel has said that if the eurofails then Europe fails and that Europe is living through its“toughest hour since World War Two.”

The fact that the interest rate set by the Bank of Englandremains at 0.5%, despite inflation of 5%, illustrates howextraordinary the current situation is. The Bank rate has nowbeen at this level for over two years – a record low in thehistory of our central bank.

With a second round of quantitative easing of £75bn (that isaround £1,250 of “new money”, created out of nothing, forevery single one of us in the UK) we are seeing the biggestmonetary experiment in the history of the UK and I fear it’sunlikely to end well.

Greece will default on their debts no matter what the politicianstell us and the fall-out could make what happened afterLehman Brothers collapsed in 2008 look mild. Three years agothe financial system was within minutes of complete collapseand we were facing a situation when cash points across thecountry would suddenly have stopped working. We’re facingthis situation again.

The crisis is going to become increasingly political worldwideand there will be widespread anger as hard-working taxpayersrealise that they will again be asked to bail out the bankers thatgot them into this mess.

As consumers realise their standard of living is being erodedand they worry about losing their jobs, it’s inevitable that theywill cut back on spending. Those on fixed incomes, such aspensioners, will see their real incomes eroded very quickly.Those about to retire face record low annuity rates – yourhopes for a comfortable retirement have been dashed to helpsave the economy and the bankers.

There are three major problems facing economies andpoliticians. Firstly where will the growth come from that willget us out of this mess, will China and the emerging marketsdemand our goods? Secondly both the private and the publicsector have to de-leverage, pay down what we owe. Lastly,serious global imbalances have to be resolved. Unless all threeare addressed we could face serious economic and socialupheaval.

What can businesses in Essex do to shieldthemselves from the fallout?

Firstly, they must realise the high level of uncertainty out thereand plan for it. In making investments they must always havean exit option if things go wrong or place bets so that ifrecovery does emerge in certain areas they can quickly takeadvantage.

Secondly, they must re-visit their export strategy. With high UKinflation, concerns over our national debt and a second roundof quantitative easing the pound might have further to fallmaking exported goods more competitive. Also, with the globaleconomic power base shifting it’s important to make sure thatthe emerging markets and their growing middle classes aretargeted.

However, whatever contingency plans are put in place by localbusinesses, it’s clear that the impending storm is going to claimmany victims, both large and small.

Dr Asaf Pirali appointed asAnglia Ruskin Board memberDr Asaf Pirali is the Founder and President of the School ofAccounting and Management in Trinidad. In collaboration withLord Ashcroft International Business School there are around1900 students studying for Anglia Ruskin awards at theSchool.

Aside from his contribution to education, Asaf is a churchleader and appears regularly on television and radioprogrammes discussing religious topics

The Board of Governors determines the education characterof Anglia Ruskin as well as setting the university’s strategicdirection. Other responsibilities include financial issues,property and the staffing of Anglia Ruskin. Asaf joins two othernew Board members; Jerome Booth, a co-founder, Head ofResearch and a member of the Investment Committee atAshmore Investment Management and Sarah Wright, thePrincipal of SEEVIC College, Benfleet, Essex, which offerscourses in partnership with Anglia Ruskin.

Pure marketing, philanthropy or win-winpromotional activity?In May this year, Anne Tappe, doctoral student at the LordAshcroft International Business School, presented her researchon the subject of ‘cause-related marketing’ (CSM), at theannual research conference in Cambridge. Her presentationwas awarded a prize as being one of the four best out of thedoctoral studies at the university.

Anne’s work addresses the growing concerns expressed byboth academics and practitioners that the desire for ever-greaterprofit is leading to the exploitation of employees and theecological environment globally.

Latterly, consumers have become more aware of theseconcerns and are sceptical about multinational businesses.In the light of this, multinationals developed the notion ofCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR). CSR, which can bedefined as the commitment to improve community well-beingthrough discretionary business practices and contributions ofcorporate resources Cause Related Marketing (CRM), is one

part of CSR and it builds on a partnership between businessesand charities. This partnership is communicated to customersby means of a promotional activity, whereas a percentageof the company’s revenue is donated to the selected charity.However, skepticism has arisen about this, and has createdquestions about whether CRM is a business marketing strategy,philanthropy or win-win situation.

Anne’s research examines whether and how CRM can be anethical and sustainable strategy. A major part of that researchwill critically scrutinise the commercial combination of marketingand philanthropy which is currently developing as a response tothe economic and environmental crisis, and which is a crucialaspect of CRM. It is hoped that at the end, she will be able todevelop a framework for CRM that will be useful to anyorganisation wishing to adopt this as part of an ethical strategy.

Financial crisis and the potential impact for AfricaDuring a recent visit to ABM University College, Gabarone,Botswana to undertake a 3-day training programme with ournew partner colleagues, Dr Robin Gowers gave a guest lectureon the current global financial crisis and its potential impact forAfrica. The lecture brought together members of the businesscommunity, academics and economics experts who also shedsome light into the dark reality of the meltdown. Robin’s lecturewas very well received and featured in the Gabarone’s “DailyBusiness” newspaper, an extract of which is given below:

Dr Gowers said long term planning with deliberate emphasison education and availing of opportunities to citizens wasneeded for the country to achieve sustained economic growth.“Government must look at areas with comparative advantagessuch as agriculture for new investment. Emphasis should alsobe on economic diversification to ensure economy growth”,he said.

The global financial crisis hit hard on Botswana’s economyleaving a rippling effect that has largely been blamed on thecountry’s over-reliance on diamond exports. A slump in diamondsales has, due to a cut in spending costs mainly by westernconsumers, since led to reduced government revenue and a haltof some development projects. Dr Gowers said the impact alsohad some telling long term effects on major economies such asthe UK and the US as people lost employment and their wealth.The economics academic said Botswana needed a goodeconomic policy infused with investment on education if thecountry is to find it’s way to recovery.

According to African Economic Outlook (AEO) organisation,Botswana’s economy is still dominated by the mining sector,followed by services and agriculture. After the global economicmeltdown led to a decline in the government’s revenue followinga slump in demand for diamonds, which are Botswana’s mainexport, AEO forecasts the economy to grow by 6.9 per cent in2011. “The country needs to come up with its models and ideasto create sustained economic growth”, he advised.

Dr Gowers says the crisis was a test to the capitalist systemand that it has somehow benefitted Sub-Saharan countrieswhich, he said, are experiencing robust growth.

The event that ended late in the evening was also part of thelaunch degree programs that will be offered at ABM. These

include: BA (Honours) Marketing,BA (Honours) Tourism Management,BA (Honours) Human ResourceManagement, Bsc (Honours)Accounting & Finance and BA(Honours) Business Management.

Cambridge entrepreneurs scoop £10k prizeStreetsight idea captures judges’ attention in Anglia Ruskin competition

Business partners Stefan Weniger and John Sweeney havebeen named as the first entrepreneurs to receive funding fromAnglia Ruskin University’s Enterprise Fellowship Scheme.

Anglia Ruskin’s Centre for Enterprise Development andResearch (CEDAR) has received a £50,000 donation toprovide support for business people within Cambridgeshire.

The Enterprise Fellowship Scheme was launched in June, andStefan and John are the first to secure financial backing, havingbeen awarded £10,000 to help the development of theirStreetsight business.

Streetsight’s idea is to sell advertising on roadside telecomscabinets across the country – a business that is alreadybooming in Stefan’s native Germany. The 31-year-old, whonow lives in Cambridge, explained, “John and I have alwayssaid that we wanted to start a business together and we beganto explore this idea properly in 2008.

We assumed that the cabinets would be owned by localauthorities but after some investigation we discovered that theyare in fact the property of telecom companies.

We were very fortunate to speak to a senior person at oneof the big telecom companies who loved our idea and we’venow signed a contract with them. Of the company’s 600,000cabinets, we estimate that between 10–20% of them are inprime locations suitable for advertising.

Part of our contract means that we must maintain theappearance of the cabinets’ exteriors by keeping them cleanand free of graffiti. But despite having signed the contract,the money we have been awarded by CEDAR is invaluablebecause there are substantial costs in getting the businessup and running.

We have to apply for permission from the local council toadvertise on each individual cabinet, and this costs around£150 per application. The £10,000 is fantastic but we’re stilllooking for more investment as we are keen to grow ourbusiness as quickly as we can.

Judging panel member Dr Walter Herriot OBE was impressedby the progress already made by Stefan and John. He said:“The business idea is great and to have a contract with a majortelecommunications company is the real achievement.

“Now Stefan and John need to ensure they get the planningpermission required for each cabinet and this is where theEnterprise Fellowship Scheme can help out by providing£10,000 towards the costs of planning applications andappeals.”

From a total of 30 applications, the panel decided to supportfive proposals. In addition to Streetsight, four other businessideas are receiving mentoring on aspects including sales,marketing, finance and business planning. The aim is toprogress these ideas to a stage where the entrepreneurs willpitch again to the panel later this autumn.

Professor Lester Lloyd-Reason, Director of CEDAR and Chairof the judging panel, said: “To get such a positive response interms of both numbers and quality was very encouraging andwe will work with the finalists to help them turn their ideas intoreality.”

In addition to Dr Walter Herriot OBE and Professor Lester Lloyd-Reason, other members of the judging panel include PeterTaylor of TTP and Dr Geoffrey Butlin of TrancenData Europe Ltd.

“The business idea is great and to have a contractwith a major telecommunications company is thereal achievement.” Dr Walter Herriot OBE

Cambridge Festival of Ideas –MisLeadership by Banks and Governments

130 people signed up for the talk by John Rayment and DrJonathan Smith at the recently held Festival of Ideas at theUniversity of Cambridge.

Jonathan Smith introduced the debate using the quote fromour founder John Ruskin:

‘Luxury is indeed possible in the future – innocentand exquisite; luxury for all, and by the help of all;but luxury at the present can only be enjoyed by theignorant; the cruellest man living could not sit at hisfeast, unless he sat blindfold’.John Ruskin, Unto This Last, 1862

More recent quotes followed:

‘The current economic crisis, resulting in the most seriousglobal recession the world has seen in its history, is that ourentire financial system over the years has been corrupted...and how endemic it is to our largest corporations, our biggestfinancial institutions and, yes, our government’.Talbott (2009:227)

’… the worst financial crisis ever’.Bank of England Governor Mervyn King

‘No one should think a further half century of peace andprosperity is assured. It isn’t. That is why I say if the Euro fails,Europe will fail – and that mustn’t happen’.Angela Merkel, German Chancellor

People who say money doesn't matter are like people who saycake doesn't matter – it's probably because they've already hada few slices.

• There may not be a reason to share your cake. It is, afterall, yours.

• You probably baked it yourself, in an oven of your ownconstruction with ingredients you harvested yourself.

• It may be possible to keep your entire cake while explainingto any nearby hungry people just how reasonable you are.

Reflections made by participants in the Occupy Wall Street /London movement

Jonathan summarised the situation as a crisis of leadership, ormore accurately MisLeadership, with its four elements:

• Missing• Misguided• Misinformed• Machiavellian

John Rayment asked participants to consider ‘Who is to blame?’

• Bankers• Business leaders• Government• Religion• Business Schools• Us

But before answering that, to think more deeply, about what isthe problem? He had some pointers:

FTSE 100 top directors• Remuneration 49% increase last year• Now average £2.7M• Salary only ¼ their total income• FTSE 100 only rose 3.9%• Whole FTSE rose 12.5%• Average for UK workforce 2.8%

“Britain’s economy may be struggling to return to pre-recessionlevels but the same cannot be said of FTSE-100 directorsremuneration.Remuneration Committees will have to ensure they can givefull and thorough justification for the bonuses awarded”Steve Tatton, Income Data Services report editor

“Another shining example of how the elite greedy pigs who runour top companies behave”Paul Kenny TUC Gen Sec:

John outlined how advantageous being a banker is:

• Control the economy at both macro and micro levels• Incredible earning power – if you want to earn more just

increase your gearing and/or your margin• Seen as vital – so must be controlled and not take risks

We all love to gamble. From playing Pooh sticks and watchingrain drops on a windowpane when young to lotteries or whichteam/horse will win as an adult. But it can get silly, as wemove from betting on the final score of a football match to suchesoteric outcomes as the name of the first scorer, time of firstthrow-in, that Wayne Rooney will be sent off, or that the thirdball of 24th over will be a no-ball.

Gambling is particularly pleasurable when we know the result,use other people’s money but keep any winnings, earn a highwage even if we lose, and know our turn will come.

Pleasure and pitfalls of gambling were illustrated byparticipants betting £10,000,000,000 on the outcomeof two dice being rolled. There were 36 combinations, soa total of £360,000,000,000 being bet. The winner took£350,000,000,000 leaving the speakers with a ‘margin’ of£10,000,000,000 to cover their expenses, bonus and profit.

At first the losers were rather sad at losing £10,000,000,000each but cheered up when they were told it was all OK –they were too big to fail!! Thus they got their £10 billion backto try again! From where? The magic roundabout which isthe banking system, but ultimately from the Government –well, not actually from the Government, it isn’t their money –through the Government but from the people! They werealso too big to be allowed to leave, pay tax or be controlled.

All of which result in the problem that the rich get richer,exemplified by Jonathan Smith in the Leadership Fitness See-saw, and John Rayment’s terrible distortion of the quote fromWinston Churchill:

‘Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by somany to so few’.

To balance the debate, John outlined the banker’s view. Theywere making legitimate business actions, following the basicmarket theory that players should exploit market opportunities,seek to expand and maximise return to their owners. Theyhelped manage the risk inherent in the market system andwere currently helping move resources to the developing worldwhich is more efficient than the West and entitled to its fairshare. The West was over-consuming and lazy, but China hada massive surplus.

Governments don’t have to borrow, and nor does anyone else.They should only borrow when they will be able to repay, tofinance investment in infrastructure/industry to improve futureefficiency, or for genuine cyclical smoothing – unlike thatadopted by Gordon Brown. They should NOT borrow for short

term popularity, to hide an unbalanced budget, avoid toughdecisions such as making the rich pay their taxes or to avoidhaving to cut spending.

Government should set the scene, control the market andensure a ‘level playing field’. A major part of the problem wasthat banks and business have gone global and adopt strategic;long-term approaches while governments still largely operate atthe national level, with an eye on next election. Thus they havebeen out flanked, out manoeuvred, out reasoned, become outdated and would soon be out!

John used the Balance Sheet of HBOS the year before thecrash to show how information was available that should havewarned of impending disaster. They had net assets of £667Billion reflecting their surprising scale, but even more revealingwas their debt of £645 Billion compared to equity of only £22billion, giving a gearing level of 29 times. Most businesses witha gearing level of 1 would start to be seen as risky.

The event was drawn to a close via a quick resume of therecently announced Eurozone Rescue Package. Half of Greece’sdebt would be written off by the banks, meaning they wouldneed more capital. The Eurozone ‘bail out’ fund would beincreased from €440Bn to €1,000Bn. However, China hadexpressed reluctance at lending in these circumstances andSarkosy, the French president, had declared that “AllowingGreece to join euro in 2001 was a mistake”.
