Multiple Blockholders and Firm Value: A Simulation Analysis

2023

In this paper, we analyse the relationship between the distribution of ownership and firm value in the presence of multiple blockholders. In recent years, the topic has attracted the attention of many scholars. Yet, the empirical evidence on the relationship between the distribution of ownership among large shareholders and firm value has been non-conclusive and contradictory. We focus on the interaction between a controlling block of shareholders and a non-controlling block that can monitor the largest controlling block. We develop and simulate a simple model combining the two effects related to the presence of additional blockholders that can monitor the largest controlling block of share…

The development of Muslim nation in Bosnia and Herzegovina

2020

The main goal of this article is to show the conditions and circumstances of the formation of Muslim nation in communist Yugoslavia and the increase of its significance during and after the civil war 1992-1995. Furthermore, author presents the characteristics of contemporary nationalism, and distinguishes specific Balkan nationalism, which is often chauvinistic, ahistorical, militant and exclusive, of ethnocultural character. The identity of Bosnian Muslims originated from belief that their origin, language and culture related to Bosnia and Herzegovina, which makes them different from the Turks and other Islamic nations living in the Ottoman Empire. The genesis of forming Muslim nation in Y…

Costituzionalismo dei diritti e diritto di eccezione

2010

Il costituzionalismo dei diritti limita i poteri delle autorità obbligandole al rispetto dei diritti fondamentali, nonché ad agire secondo le procedure ed entro le competenze prescritte assumendo che ciò sia necessario al fine di massimizzare, nel complesso, la protezione dei diritti; in virtù del medesimo fine, obbliga i cittadini ad osservare le direttive delle autorità delegando ad esse la tutela dei loro diritti. Ciò comprime ma non elimina la possibilità di giustificare lo stato di eccezione o il diritto di resistenza: si potrà infatti rivendicare il diritto eccezionale delle autorità a violare i limiti dei propri poteri, ovvero il diritto eccezionale a rovesciare un’autorità…

¿Cabe hablar de una «generación de la crisis»? Discusión en torno a una noción sobreexplotada

2018

This article states that nowadays there is an overuse (or a misuse) of the «Generation» idea. The discussion among many authors over the «Generation of crisis» concept suggests that it is useful to outline the characteristics of the target of population of the collective of youth who are mainly affected by the economic and social crisis over the past years. Nevertheless, through analyzing the meanings of the «Generation of Crisis» made by Mannheim, Ortega and other classic authors, it is clear that the social class approach together with the generational one are needed to define this concrete concept. The conclusion of the articleis that both approaches are seen as underpinning their utilit…

Unveiling the Role of Multiple blockholders: Evidence from Closely Held Firms.

2019

Research Question/Issue. This paper disentangles how the modes of ownership distribution among multiple blockholders and their heterogeneity shape principal–principal conflicts and, in turn, affect firm performance. The paper offers empirical evidence from a panel of Italian closely held firms over the period 2009–2014. Research Findings/Insights. We explore the principal–principal conflicts among blockholders across two distinct control structures. When a single blockholder controls the firm, principal–principal conflicts are shaped by the trade‐off between the alignment effect and the monitoring effect. In this scenario, we find that the relationship between the two largest blockholders' …

Paradoxes and coping mechanisms in the servitisation journey

2022

Servitisation is conceptualised as product manufacturers' transition towards bundling products and services to offer customers enhanced value. Scholars have raised concerns regarding the potential challenges that firms face during servitisation, often termed servitisation paradoxes. Limited studies have explored the paradoxes experienced during the servitisation journey and the associated coping mechanisms. We utilise the open-ended essay methodology to unravel various paradoxes and coping mechanisms to address the gap. We collected data in two stages—from 69 participants in the first stage and 32 in the second stage. The study's findings reveal three broad paradoxes: the paradox of organis…

Blaming the Light, Claiming the Night. Actors, Issues and Effects of Lighting Conflicts in France since the 1980's

2014

International audience; Regarding environmental issues, conflictuality is a privileged way to reach the political arena. "Naming, Blaming, Claiming": three steps that make the controversy emerge, constitute the public issue, then bring it to the politi- cal agenda. These three stages are clearly identifiable in the history of night protection associative movements. These movements emerged in the 1970's in the United States of America, quickly disseminated enjoying a broader context of environmental thinking. Conflicts related to artificial lighting are structurally akin to conflicts of contradictory uses of a single resource: the night. For some - the technicists -, the night is the "good-s…

Halloysite Nanotubes for Cleaning, Consolidation and Protection

2017

Herein, we report our recent research concerning the development of halloysite based protocols for cleaning, consolidation and protection purposes. Surface modification of halloysite cavity by anionic surfactants was explored to fabricate inorganic micelles able to solubilize hydrophobic contaminants. Hybrid dispersions based on halloysite and ecocompatible polymers were tested as consolidants for paper and waterlogged archaeological woods. Encapsulation of deacidifying and flame retardant agents within the halloysite lumen was conducted with aim to obtain nanofiller with a long-term protection ability. The results prove the suitability and versatility of halloysite nanotubes, which are per…

Interešu konflikts: Kipras un Piedņestras konfliktu salīdzinošā analīze.

2016

. Jau vairāk nekā četrdesmit gadus ilgā Kipras konflikta dēļ, salīdzinājumā ar Piedņestru Kiprai ir vairāk pieredzes mediācijā. Taču Kipras konfliktā gūtā pieredze var kalpot kā pozitīvu un negatīvu mediācijas piemēru kopums, jo abu konfliktu attīstības posmiem ir daudz kopīgu iezīmju. Abi konflikti ir piesaistījis daudzu valstu un starptautisko organizāciju uzmanību, tomēr ne vienmēr viņu iesaistīšanās ir palīdzējusi konflikta atrisināšanas procesā, dažreiz tā ir pat traucējusi konflikta risināšanā. Arī izmaiņas mediācijā dominējošo valstu lomās atspoguļo mainīgo starptautisko attiecību vidi. Konflikti Kiprā un Moldovā apdraud drošību Eiropaā, kas savukārt pierāda vajadzību pārskatīt pastā…
