Under the concept of capital, schools’ role can be best understood as intermediaries where exchange across different forms of capital and creation of new capital take place. In other words, through school, cultural capital and social capital could be exchangeable, and specific capital could be created or adopted. Jamal’s intellectual and athletic talents and aspiration (embodied cultural capital) lead to a higher social status (new social capital for Jamal) through Mailor-Callow (a school). He is able to receive wide recognition due to the platform that Mailor-Callow has provided – essay competition and high school basketball championship series.

Capital is defined by sociologists as the resources that people have that makes them more valuable in various settings. There is a potent thrust toward social reproduction that is represented by the quality and quantity of capital available to different classes that replicates their location in the social class system. A person’s college experience is affected by four types of capital: financial, social, human, and cultural, having it or lacking it can make or break one’s experience.

From 2004 to 2012, the quantity of remote direct ventures has expanded more than the double, achieving USD 1,500 billion of every 2012. FDI has turned out to be one of the significant techniques for cross-outskirt venture and a standout amongst the most dynamic drivers of monetary development. Presently, I will propose a portion of the dangers of FID from the perspective of

Ajami and BarNiv (1984) attempted to explain the variability of FDI across countries. They emphasized in following determinants of FDI in US: relative size of the US market, change in exports to the US, growth of GNP in the home and host countries, decline in value of the US dollar during the late 1970s, inflation rates in the home and host countries, attractiveness of the US capital markets and research and development and manufacturing as a percent of GNP.

The overwhelming amount of business investment and financial investment takes place between industrial countries. Nearly $80 billion of the $90 billion invested in the U.S. from abroad in 1997 came from Europe, Canada, and Japan. About $72 billion of the $114 billion 1997 foreign investment by U.S. companies went to Europe, Canada, and Japan. In recent years, direct investment in less-developed countries has expanded significantly, doubling between 1990 and 1995, while total U.S. direct investment abroad rose by 65 percent. The trend continued through 1997, a foreign direct investment in Latin America rose significantly. \

Direct investment among the richest countries has been one of the eminent features of the world economy since the mid-1980s. Within this broad trend, Europe features prominently as both a home and host to multinational enterprises (MNEs). Not only did many Japanese and American firms invest massively, but even the most somnolent European firms appeared to awake to the need to look beyond their own national borders. (Thomsen and Woolcock, 1993)

The two Novel laureates, Franco Modigliani and Metron Miller (here after called M-M) were the first to present a formal model in 1958 on valuation of capital structure in corporate finance theory and is still the cornerstone of modern corporate finance. MM were the first to take a sharp look at the relationship between Capital Structure and the cost of capital. In their seminal papers (1958, 1963), they states some propositions.

The aim of this essay is to look at the evolution of both inward and outward foreign direct investments in Britain and then discuss the impact of the direction and level of FDI in Britain on the success or failure of British Business. This will lead us to question ourselves on whether the level and direction of FDI determine the success/failure of British firms. In other words, is there a correlation between these two key features of FDI and the performance of British firms and if this correlation implies causation.

FDI allows the home country to invest into the host country to produce, advertise, and distribute products, in order to upsurge their market share and provides a long-term investment and enhancement. (Moosa, 2002)

War is inherent in the development of capitalism- as well as a decisive phenomenon in the transformation of the history of humanity in its different stages: from the accumulation originating, going through the industrial revolution and the imperialist period, until now, in the era of globalization, and their interactions are multiple and varied.

S. Hymer formulated monopolistic advantages (ownership) theory in 1960 (published in 1976). The theory is considered as one of the most prominent microeconomic theories of FDI. It supports that a company makes a decision on foreign investment based on its desire to capitalise on certain advantages that are owned by the firm and not shared by local (competing) firms that are operating in the host country. These competitive advantages include operational finance, technical knowledge, management and/or marketing advantages in the foreign country that could influence a firm’s decision to relocate aboard (Dunning and Lundan, 2008).

[UNCTAD2003] As a result, global FDI grew much faster than either trade or income in the last two decades. Whereas world real GDP increased at an average rate of 3.00% between 1985 and 2004 and world exports by 6.29%, world real inflows of FDI increased by 9.85%. The liberalization processes varied considerably, however, across countries in timing, speed, and magnitude.

Statistics shows that there was a sharp rise in FDI commitments in the period of 1998-1995. The number of investment projects go up at average 50 percent each year untill the end of
