Various Approaches to Early Contractor Involvement in Relational Contracts
2021
Abstract The main rationale for involving contractors is to apply collaboration to mitigate risk and to harvest opportunities to reduce cost and to increase the project owner’s value. In the paper we argue in the applied analytical model that there are four levels of early contractor involvement (ECI), which are 1) Preparation of the project (before sparking off competition); 2) During the procurement phase (development of what to build); 3) Project delivery model (before construction contract, but after the contractor and designers are selected); 4) Project delivery model (where involvement also continues in the execution phase). In the paper we argue that category 4 have the largest poten…

Digital rights management : blockchain and digital music content management
2017
Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli ymmärtää lohkoketjuteknologian vaikutuksia digitaalisen musiikin sisällönhallintaan hyödyntäen digitaalisten tekijänoikeuden hallintajärjestelmien (DRM) viitekehystä. Tutkielma sisälsi kolme tutkimuskysymystä: mitä digitaalisia tekijänoikeuden hallintajärjestelmien haasteita lohkoketjuteknologia voisi mahdollisesti ratkaista verrattuna edellisiin DRM-teknologioihin, miten lohkoketjuteknologia liittyy DRM:n aiempiin teknologisiin haasteisiin ja mitkä ovat lohkoketjuteknologian mahdolliset vaikutukset digitaalisen musiikin tekijänoikeuden hallintajärjestelmiin. Vastaukset tutkimuskysymyksiin perustuivat kirjallisuuskatsaukseen sekä puolistrukturoituihin teem…
Contribution à la compréhension des causes des comportements socialement responsables : l'étude des contrats psychologiques au sein d'une entreprise …
2014
Stakeholders require companies to include in their management process social responsibility criteria such as health and safety and the fight against discrimination etc. Standards of CSR or sustainable development (ISO 26000, 14001, OHSAS 18001, 1000 AA ...) are many and reflect the issues and difficulties in its operationalization. NGO‟s criticisms reveal, among other things, the lack of commitment of employees who are at the very heart of the company's shares. This work is part of doctoral research determining causes of socially responsible behavior of employees. We discuss our research in terms of the Employment Relationship-Organization-and inscribe our work in the concept of psychologic…
Usurarian contracts. Current jurisprudencial perspective
2018
El objetivo de este trabajo es destacar las novedades presentadas por la Jurisprudencia sobre contratos usurarios celebrados entre las empresas bancarias y sus clientes. La coexistencia de la Ley de Usura con las regulaciones para la protección de los consumidores contra cláusulas abusivas no ha menoscabado la vigencia de ley, pero sus diferencias en cuanto a la declaración de nulidad generan incertidumbre, por lo que sería conveniente una mayor armonización. The objective of this work is to highlight the novelties presented by the Jurisprudence on usurious contracts concluded between banking companies and their clients. The coexistence of the Usury Law with the regulations for the protecti…
Smart Auctions for Autonomic Ambient Intelligence Systems
2020
The main goal of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is to support users in their daily activities by satisfying and anticipating their needs. To achieve such goal, AmI systems rely on physical infrastructures made of heterogenous sensing devices which interact in order to exchange information and perform monitoring tasks. In such a scenario, a full achievement of AmI vision would also require the capability of the system to autonomously check the status of the infrastructure and supervise its maintenance. To this aim, in this paper, we extend some previous works in order to allow the self-management of AmI devices enabling them to directly interact with maintenance service providers. In particular,…
Governance della filiera tra intervento pubblico e autonomia privata
2020
This volume deals with the complex issue of the agri-food chain, which is a formula for synthesis around which the doctrinal and ideological debate has developed on the process of integrating legal relations that is established from agricultural production to its placing on the market. The extent of the field of investigation, its limits and boundaries affect areas of relevance that affect related sectors with still ambiguous and undefined contours (agrobusiness, agri-food and agro-industrial). The characteristics of the agri-food industry, its differences from agro-industrial, its discipline are always disputed; and even now the legislation and authoritative and distinguished scholars deny…
An analysis of the Spanish ceramic tile industry research contracts and patents
2018
In this work, we apply a systemic approach to the analysis of a particular geographic territory, the industrial district. We are particularly interested in analysing the interaction between the productive-technological environment and the scientific environment by an examination of research contracts and patents. Our analysis shows that R&D activity in the Spanish ceramic tile District Innovation System was mainly conducted by suppliers. Final producers’ innovation efforts were related to non-technological aspects and differentiation.
Necessidade do controlar de oficio as cláusulas abusivas nos contratos com consumidores: Estudo comparado com o sistema espanhol
2016
Las autoridades europeas abogan por dotar al juez de mayores facultades para controlar ex officio la inclusión de cláusulas abusivas en los contratos de adhesión celebrados entre empresarios y consumidores. Una línea jurisprudencial incorporada en España, mejorando así la tutela y protección de los derechos e intereses de los consumidores. No obstante, países como Uruguay no contemplan esta posibilidad, impidiendo al juez realizar un control de contenido cuando no haya sido solicitado por las partes puesto que se cuestiona su anulación debido a la propia naturaleza de la nulidad. En el presente artículo analizamos las diferentes regulaciones de las cláusulas abusivas en los ordenamientos es…
For Whom is MAI? A Theoretical Perspective on Multilateral Agreements on Investments
2001
Why do we observe some LDCs objecting the prospect of a Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI), although they have been keen to liberalize investment in preferential agreements in recent years? In this paper, we analyse the issue of MAI implementation and assess the welfare consequences of such kind of agreements. In our model, participation to MAI involves a trade-off between less rent extraction from multinational firms (MNEs) and more abundant FDI inflows. At equilibrium, either all countries enter MAI, or all countries stay out, or only some of them enter. Coordination problems may induce multiple equilibria: the three typesof equilibria may coexist. So, the implementation of MAI ma…
