Celle-ci se déclinera en trois étapes, présentée en trois sections. La première sera une connaissance du contexte, des contraintes de l'expérimentation, et de l'implication des acteurs.

Enfin, l'objet de la troisième section sera de mettre en exergue les propositions quant aux pratiques transférables du dispositif et la décision finale prise par le conseil régional. Le carac…
The network of global corporate control.
2011
The structure of the control network of transnational corporations affects global market competition and financial stability. So far, only small national samples were studied and there was no appropriate methodology to assess control globally. We present the first investigation of the architecture of the international ownership network, along with the computation of the control held by each global player. We find that transnational corporations form a giant bow-tie structure and that a large portion of control flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions. This core can be seen as an economic “super-entity” that raises new important issues both for researchers and policy make…
On the origin of power law tails in price fluctuations
2003
In a recent Nature paper, Gabaix et al. \cite{Gabaix03} presented a theory to explain the power law tail of price fluctuations. The main points of their theory are that volume fluctuations, which have a power law tail with exponent roughly -1.5, are modulated by the average market impact function, which describes the response of prices to transactions. They argue that the average market impact function follows a square root law, which gives power law tails for prices with exponent roughly -3. We demonstrate that the long-memory nature of order flow invalidates their statistical analysis of market impact, and present a more careful analysis that properly takes this into account. This makes i…
The intersection between family dynamics and e-commerce strategy in family businesses: Empirical investigation in China
2021
This book chapter aims to contribute to increase our understanding of how e-Commerce strategy is designed, implemented, and influenced by family dynamics in family businesses, in China. Our research followed an exploratory and qualitative approach to analyse e-Commerce adoption by three Chinese family businesses, two of which were located in Beijing and one in Xinjiang. We used semi-structured interviews with key informants in the firms, focused on business history, business resources, as well as its corporate and e-Commerce strategies, and the family influence on the adoption of such strategies. The interviews were prepared based on the findings of a preliminary review of the literature on…

Managing Risk in Financial Market in Shipping Industry
2011
Based on the knowledge from shipping we would like to study one option strategy for investments on shipping stocks. Since the term paper is relatively short we have chosen one market segment, namely the offshore market, and one shipping company, namely Farstad Shipping. We will use the theory of freight rates from Martin Stopford`s book, Maritime economics, and apply it to the real world. The reason for this is that the freight rates are the income for the shipping companies. Furthermore we will use the financial information from Farstad Shipping to see what the value of Farstad Shipping stocks should be in the future. This we will do based on the freight rates in the offshore market. The m…
Trading Nokia: The roles of the Helsinki vs the New York stock exchanges
2004
We use the Autoregressive Conditional Duration (ACD) framework of Engle and Russell (1998) to study the effect of trading volume on price duration (ie the time lapse between consecutive price changes) of a stock listed both in the domestic and the foreign market. As a case study we use the example of Nokia's share, which is actively traded both in the Helsinki Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). We find asymmetry in the volume-price duration relationship between the two markets. In the NYSE the negative relationship is much stronger and exists both during and outside common trading hours. Outside common trading hours no such relationship is significant in Helsinki. Based …

The Place of Indications of Geographical Origin in the Intellectual Property System
2014
As indicated in the introductory chapter of this book, different designations are used for denoting goods and services in the trade which are not congeneric from the legal point of view. Among those designations, there are also those which contain a reference to a particular geographical place, i.e. geographical designations. This situation is successfully revealed in materials of one international conference by indicating that many designations which are used in commerce may contain a geographical reference (yet their legal nature is different) by distinguishing three different groups of such designations:
