Talent management by Ismail, Fadillah, Rashid, Umi Kartini, Ahmad, Zanariah, al Hosain, Adnan Ali Hassan, Mohd Rosli, Nur Amalina

“…Notwithstanding, the writing underlines that a "working definition" of the term is missing, where in a hierarchical setting, the term is characterized variously (Lewis & Heckman 2006), and this has made it hard to pick the "right" definition (Tansley, 2011). So as to legitimately characterize ability in an authoritative setting, and as per the target of this examination, three definitions were perceived as fitting:…”

Monetary policy and banking sector : lessons from Turkey by Akinci, Dervis Ahmet, Matousek, Roman, Radić, Nemanja, Stewart, Chris

“…The bank lending channel is shown to depend on two bank characteristics, namely liquidity and capital. We also find that both capital and GDP growth have plausible positive and significant long-run effects on bank loan growth, whereas inflation, bank size and, in particular, efficiency do not have a significant equilibrium relationship with loan growth. …”
