They have different shapes and sizes, taking different forms during time, and usually spread across borders. Financial crises are often the
product of asset and credit booms that eventually turn into busts. This booms can be identify in time but no one still has an answer of why
they are allowed to continue, knowing that can rapidly become unsustainable and turn into busts or crunches. The subprime crisis: origins
and evolutionThe subprime crisis is an over studied topic studied by a vast number of thinkers trying to establish the cause and to find the
culpable for the greatest economic collapse since great depression. Trying to point out a single cause as the root of the crisis is however
impossible as our current situation is the results of a set of political, economic and social policies. A lot of literature is dedicated to the
subprime crises subject, all finding guilt in the management and moral hazard existent in the American economy. It all started on the
American continent and soon became viral thru all the world's economies. The interdependence of countries created a wave effect, so all
the symptoms of the crises could be seen in different time periods, in the whole world. The growths catches a faster pace with the help of

Analysis of External General and Industry Environment
Porter's Five Forces Model Potential Entrants Market share in the real estate business in Singapore is mainly capitalized by few big
players such as City Development Limited, CapitaLand and Keppel Land. If any multi–national real estate company approaches to invest
here, they will be restricted to a marginal shareholding in the new companies. A new entrant will be therefore a private Singaporean
company, and as such the barriers to entry is high in the real estate business.

Each evaluation model has its own strengths and weaknesses so it cannot meet and cannot be suitable for all cases. As per McCoy &
Hargie, if we understand the nature of evaluation, the purpose and the organization and participants' needs, we could evaluate the training
more effectively (McCoy & Hargie, 2001).
Training effectiveness refers to the objectives or the goals were set to achieve after the training program. According to Bates & Coyne,
training effectiveness is all what achieved from the training program applied on the workplace (Bates & Coyne, 2005). As per Hung,
quality of training is more concerned than quantity of training through training evaluation (Hung, 2001). Therefore, in point of view of

9. Case Study : Sentosa Cove Bungalow Sale
1) Sentosa Cove Bungalow Sale realises 23.8 million
The sale of a bungalow in the prestigious Sentosa Cove recently realized 23.8 million Singapore dollars, around 2,775 Singapore dollars
psf on the 8,576 sq. ft. land area. The bungalow stands in Lakeshore View, facing the Serapong Golf Course and it overlooks the ocean.

2,952 Singapore dollars per square foot and the other in June 2013 at 2,922 Singapore dollars per square foot. Both sales completed before

Supply is limited, there are only just over 360 bungalows in Sentosa Cove and there will be no more Sentosa Cove land released for villa
building.
Whilst there are more villa viewings in Sentosa Cove is higher this year than last, the volume of sales is very much less than that prior to
the introduction of the Total Debt Servicing Ratio framework. In the year to date six bungalows, including the recent Lakeshore View sale,
have been sold, in 2014 only three sales transactions took place on Sentosa Cove bungalows. There were 18 sales transactions for Sentosa
Cove villas in 2013 and 23 in 2012 but in 2010 and 2009 there were 54 and 36 sales respectively, after which sales activity in the area
slowed to 24 in 2011, due to the government beginning its actions to cool Singapore's the property market.
On a lighter note, a property insider says that buyers have the advantage in the current market, when there is the opportunity lower prices
rather than when the market is more buoyant and sellers will have higher expectations.
Although bungalow sales at Sentosa Cove are slow the leasing market has been busy. Tenants are foreign nationals mainly from Western
countries taking two to three year leases, with rentals between 20,000 and 30,000 per month according to the bungalow's situation, size
and frontage. Tenants are mainly high ranking company executives.
