Reagan's financial sector deregulation became a starting point for the financial engineering, derivatives, combinatory financial operations industry. Due to it hedge funds developed, and a range of risk financial transactions expanded among the banks that found both new forms of financial risk hedging and new sources of income: arbitrage and hedging, credit default swaps, operations with "second-rate” credits. It was them that exploded the market in 2007–2008. The reaction of states realized in a string of regulation initiatives, including creation of supranational coordination bodies (in particular, Financial Stability Board); reformatting of mega regulators and on their base – the shaping of state prudential supervision and financial services consumer rights protection bodies with different tasks; restrictions on hedge funds activities; toughening of derivative instruments regulation and implementing of a central counterparty institute on derivatives market.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a capability maturity model (CMM) developed to implement continuous improvement in small and medium scale construction companies (SMSCC) in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach A multi-strategy approach involving qualitative studies of SMSCC in Nigeria was conducted. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with purposively selected construction experts in Nigeria to identify variables essential for continuous improvement in SMSCC. Data collected were thematically analysed using NVIVO. Subsequently, a system thinking approach is employed to design and develop the CMM for implementing continuous improvement SMSCC, by exploring possible relationships between the variables established. Findings CMM provided a five-level approach for the inclusion of investigated variables such as team performance; culture; structure; post-project reviews, financial risk management, waste management policy and cost control. These variables are factors leading to continuous improvement in SMSCC, implementable within a six to seven and a half years’ timeline. Practical implications The system thinking model revealed cogent archetypes in the form of reinforcing loops that can be applied in developing the performance of SMSCC. Continuous improvement is feasible. However, it takes time to implement. Further longitudinal studies on the cost of implementing continuous improvement through CMM a knowledge transfer project can be initiated. Originality/value A methodical strategy for enhancing the effectiveness and operations of SMSCC in developing countries can be extracted from the causal loop diagram and the CMM.

Oil And Gas Companies

Risk management is one of the most essential and significant part of construction projects due to assuring the attainment of project goals. Because of increasing global energy, more attention is needed to be paid towards risk management in oil and gas companies. The aim of this study is to improve the implementation of risk management within contractor companies in the oil and gas construction project through the evaluation of the most import risk groups and the barriers of implementing risk management in this part of industry. The current study is carried out in Iran and the scope of study includes only the construction project in oil and gas companies. A total of 48 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents and only 35 were obtained duly answered. The data was analyzed using  SPSS software during the preliminary stage of this study, a variety of risk groups have been studied, six of it were identified to be the most probable in  oil and gas construction projects which includes financial, technical, contractual, design and construction, policy and political, and weather and environmental risk groups. Among these groups “financial risk” is the most critical group, while “weather and environmental” is the least critical group. The important barriers of implementing risk management are lack of expertise in techniques, lack of familiarity with techniques and lack of information and knowledge.
