La maximisation microéconomique du taux de profit
1992
National audience; Dans la théorie microéconomique traditionnelle, les firmes sont supposées maximiser le profit pur. Nous étudions ici l'impact de la prise en compte des actionnaires et d'un profit social rémunérant le capital. On montre les conséquences de l'abandon de la maximisation du profit pour considérer la maximisation du taux de profit social. Les cas de concurrence avec coefficient fixe de capital, monopole avec coefficient fixe de capital, monopole avec coefficient variable de capital sont étudiés. Les solutions fournies par les comportements de maximisation du profit et de maximisation du taux de profit sont comparées. On conclut à une réduction du volume d'investissement dans …
University Governance and Finance: The Impact of Changes in Resource Allocation on Decision Making Structures
2002
When trying to account for changes that take place over time in the structure of any organisation, social scientists often use a conceptual framework known as resource dependency theory. This theory assumes that organisations survive only if they are able to react to changes that occur in the world around them in order to obtain the resources they need to stay in operation. Since they have the capacity for independent action, organisations are not passively shaped by their environment; they sometimes are also able to influence it.

Erilaiset mallit painottavat erilaisia periaatteita julkishallinnon uudistusten ja johtamisen toteutuksessa. NPM-malli on ollut viime vuosikymmenten valtavirran julkishallintomalli, kun taas NPG-malli ja NWS-mall…

2014
Corporate governance is concerned about the ways in which investors assure themselves of getting a return on their investment, on one hand, and is focus on motivating managers to increase the company profit, on the other hand (the agency theory). Corporate governance emerges from the interaction between managers and investors. Managers are often more likely to invest the extra cash-flow or profit than to return it to shareholders. But, both managers and investors are lees then fully rational. Sometimes their behavior is based on cognitive psychology. In this context, we are dealing with two problems: managerial biases and irrational investors. Managerial biases focus on the illusion of opti…
