La recherche en finance d’entreprise:quel positionnement méthodologique ?
2008
(VF)Après avoir effectué, dans une première partie, un état des lieux permettant de préciser notamment la nature des questions que se posent les chercheurs en finance d’entreprise et les méthodes qu’ils emploient, la seconde partie est consacrée au positionnement de la recherche en finance d’entreprise et gouvernance sur le plan méthodologique. L’analyse fait ressortir tant l’importance de la modélisation sous ses différentes formes, qu’elle se rattache à la tradition de l’économie néoclassique ou à celle de l’économie néo-institutionnelle, que des travaux empiriques s’inscrivant dans le prolongement de cette modélisation. Sur le plan épistémologique, la recherche en finance d’entreprise se…

Shareholder Wealth Effects of Women on Boards Promoting Policies: Evidence from Germany
2017
This study discusses differences in the effectiveness of voluntary and mandatory policies promoting women on boards and their potential effects on stock price returns. Furthermore, it classifies the announcements of the policy proposals discussed in Germany and analyzes their impact using event study methodology. The event date identification follows a two-step procedure employing search engine query data from GoogleTrends and traditional search methods using Lexis-Nexis and newspapers. One key event produces negative significant cumulative abnormal stock returns (CAR) of approximately 1.3 percentage points. Further regression analysis of the CAR reveals that the share of women on the super…
Graduate Studies of Global Change at the University of Latvia

In 2008 the University of Latvia (UL) completed an 18-month project of innovation – design, preparation and pilot-test of a 4-semester programme of trans-disciplinary graduate studies in “science, global change, and technologies for sustainable development” based on the experience the project team had acquired during 1997–2006 endorsing studies in “physics and technologies for sustainable development” and organizing two international conferences on “integrative approaches towards sustainability”. Within the project activities 25 members from faculties of natural sciences of the UL prepared and tested innovative courses of a 2 semester pilot programme comprising 4 modules, the audience being…
Efectos de la vibración sobre la actividad del rectus abdominis y sobre la transmisión de aceleraciones durante la realización de un puente frontal. …
2012
Durante las dos ultimas decadas se ha incrementado notablemente la utilizacion de la vibracion como medio complementario de ejercicio fisico. La literatura cientifica muestra distintos efectos positivos, aunque la mayor parte de ensayos se han centrado en el analisis del ejercicio de squat. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la actividad muscular del rectus abdominis y la transmision de la vibracion en el cuerpo humano durante la realizacion de un puente frontal sobre una plataforma vibratoria oscilante vibrando a diferentes frecuencias (5, 16, 20 Hz) y a una amplitud constante (3 mm). Las aceleraciones maximas en la cabeza (ejes X, Y, Z) y la actividad electromiografica media de…
Governance of Projects: Generating value by linking projects with their permanent organisation
2019
Abstract There exists little research into how value is effectively generated by temporary projects from the wider perspective of a permanent organisation. This paper investigates empirically how ‘Governance of Projects’ – the way in which a single, permanent organisation identifies, creates, and subsequently harvests value through multiple projects – occurs in four private-sector case companies. Data were collected from in-depth interviews with a wide range of employees and from internal operational documents. These data were codified and analysed as evidence of the types and intensity of links between organisational elements. The results illuminate the complex interplay of links that are …
Agents of change: Women in top management and corporate environmental performance
2020
International audience; We analyze the influence of gender diversity in top management on the environmental performance of French firms. Consistent with gender socialization theory, which posits that women are raised from childhood to be more nurturing and compassionate for others, we find that firms with more women in top management exhibit higher environmental performance. This result extends those already reported in the literature regarding the effect of gender diversity at board level. We also show that women in top management are associated with several key indicators such as development of eco‐friendly products and commitment to resource reduction. Furthermore, we find that the influ…

RELEVANCE OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY INDICATORS FOR MEASURING FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
2013
Clarifying the impact of corporate social responsibility on the economic and/or financial performance of the firm has been the subject of numerous studies, which focus on the nature of the interaction between the ability of companies to achieve a high level of corporate social responsibility on the one hand, and financial performance, on the other. The paper aims to contribute to the literature in this field by studying the relevance of stock exchange indexes built on the principles of corporate social responsibility as a tool to measure the financial performance of firms that adopt corporate social responsibility as manner of approach to business.
