BUSINESS CAPABILITIES AND HR KNOWLEDGE’ AS THE CRITICAL FACTOR OF DUE DILIGENCE IN PRE-ACQUISITION PHASE
2016
Previous theoretical research has argued that due diligence in the pre-acquisition phase is traditionally oriented towards legal and financial matters. However, in the innovation-driven market environment, where firms need to maintain competitive strength, business skills and knowledge play important roles.

2009
This article presents the methodological solutions used in a study investigating personnel wellbeing in the context of mergers and acquisitions in the Nordic electricity business. There have happened rapid changes in working conditions in general and in the electricity business today in the Nordic countries as on a global scale.

This has challenged the traditional idea of wellbeing. We wanted to see how a corporate integration is experienced by those whom it affects most: namely, personnel at different levels of th…
L’actionnariat des salariés influencet-il la rémunération des dirigeants ?
2017
International audience; Cet article étudie la relation entre les composantes variables de la rémunération en actions de l’entreprise des dirigeants et des actionnaires salariés. En utilisant un échantillon de données issu du SBF 120 sur la période 2004-2009, nous étudions en particulier : (i) la relation entre le montant des stock-options attribuées aux dirigeants et l’actionnariat salarié ; (ii) la relation entre le rapport du montant des stock-options sur la rémunération totale des dirigeants et l’actionnariat salarié. La relation est significativement négative dans les deux cas montrant que l’actionnariat salarié tend à limiter la composante stok-options de la rémunération des dirigeants…
