We are investigating under investment in machines/equipment in the manufacturing sector. Would you mind suggesting the under investment definition?
Dear Soroush Masoudi,
Thanks for your reply. I am interested in the under investment in technology.
The problem that I have is: Companies have investment in machines and equipments and right now they are ok, but in coming years they will be unable to replace these machines/equipments. From financial and accounting data consisting of five years can we point out that there is under investment in machines/technology? If yes, how?
Инвестиции - вложение средств сейчас с целью получения дохода в будущем.
We are at a point, where economic investing into the global gambling house may yield more return than physical investment. There is no under investment, but only wrong investment. Afterwards, we will have very bad infrastructure, but many 'shitcoins'. The Zeitgeist makes people believe that virtuality will materialize; it is the new religious form of alchemy.
Dear Stephen,
I agree with you, but I am interested in a solving a situation where companies have invested in machines and equipments, but they are not significantly upgrading the existing technology frontier to remain competitive in future.
Надо инвестировать в "правильное" оборудование. Перспективные технологии. Учитывать риски. И грамотно планировать поскольку мы не знаем будущего.
Do think they know what they are doing, Fazli. The firms that I know shifted from hard investments to soft investments, e.g. from chemicals to pharmacy. Your case would be a form of mismanagement, where substantial technology is not upgraded, because of ignorance.
Investment is a capital used in the production or provision of services or goods. It may be a fixed investment such as preferred stocks and bonds, or a variable investment such as property ownership. Investment is defined as the assets acquired by individuals and enterprises in order to obtain income at the time Current or future. Another definition of investment is the amount of money invested in something; especially in businesses that include buying new machinery and stocks.
I agree with this definition, but how will we measure under investment in technology?
