Download or read book Les 100 mots du capital-investissement written by Patrick Sayer and published by QUE SAIS-JE. This book was released on 2014-01-23T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si le métier d’investisseur en capital est simple à définir – il s’agit d’investir pour développer ou reprendre, c'est-à-dire faire confiance à des équipes et prendre des risques sur des projets – la sophistication des outils qu’il utilise et le jargon majoritairement d’origine anglo-saxonne dont il se pare le rendent souvent opaque aux yeux des autres acteurs économiques.En professionnels reconnus, les auteurs de cet ouvrage expliquent avec clarté leur pratique où se mêle l’entrepreneuriat, la stratégie d’entreprise, le management et la finance. Ils montrent comment, en alternative aux marchés boursiers incertains et aux banques aujourd’hui si souvent frileuses, le capital-investissement (ou private equity) est devenu une source incontournable de financement et de développement des entreprises.
Book Synopsis L'investissement à long terme by : Ouvrage Collectif
Download or read book L'investissement à long terme written by Ouvrage Collectif and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les investissements à long terme sont plus que jamais indispensables. Longtemps éclipsé, ce thème a fait un retour remarqué au rang des préoccupations des décideurs politiques et économiques. La crise financière a mis en évidence le caractère néfaste des comportements court-termistes et la forte aversion au risque des épargnants réticents à s’engager à long terme. Pour traiter ce sujet, les auteurs s’attachent tout d’abord à définir les caractéristiques des investissements de long terme et à mettre en évidence leur utilité. Puis ils posent la question de leur financement, ainsi que celle de l’importance et de la nécessité pour une économie moderne de pouvoir compter sur des investisseurs de long terme : capitalisme familial, capital-risque… Enfin, le rôle des pouvoirs publics est analysé sous l’angle de la politique économique mais aussi sous celui des techniques de financement, notamment des infrastructures.
Book Synopsis Activisme des investisseurs institutionnels, gouvernement d'entreprise et richesse de l'actionnaire by : Sophie Montandrau

This book was released on 2004 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La dynamique financière induite par la montée en puissance des investisseurs institutionnels sur les marchés financiers a donné naissance à l'activisme des fonds de pension américains. C'est à l'aube des premières recherches que notre travail s'inscrit en proposant d'étudier les résultats de " l'activisme institutionnel français " sur la richesse de l'actionnaire. Notre étude empirique analyse les réactions du marché français liées à l'annonce d'une alerte de l'AFG-ASFFI sur le gouvernement d'entreprise d'une cible entre 1999 et 2002. L'impact est analysé sous deux angles. Une première étude d'événement réalisée à partir de toutes les observations révèle un effet négatif et significatif à court terme de l'activisme des investisseurs institutionnels français. Dans un second temps, nos résultats mettent en évidence l'influence de variables de contexte classées en cinq groupes : la concentration de l'actionnariat, les actionnaires en présence, la structure du conseil d'administration, la stratégie d'investissement et d'endettement, ainsi que la performance antérieure de la cible. Nous confirmons par exemple, conformément à la théorie de l'agence et la théorie de l'enracinement qu'une structure juridique duale, une forte présence d'administrateurs externes et une faible proportion d'investissements sont des facteurs qui permettent d'atténuer la réaction négative des marchés financiers suite à une alerte sur la gouvernance.

Book Synopsis Intuition in Judgment and Decision Making by : Henning Plessner
Download or read book Intuition in Judgment and Decision Making written by Henning Plessner and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2011-05-20 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central goal of this volume is to bring the learning perspective into the discussion of intuition in judgment and decision making. The book gathers recent work on intuitive decision making that goes beyond the current dominant heuristic processing perspective. However, that does not mean that the book will strictly oppose this perspective. The unique perspective of this book will help to tie together these different conceptualizations of intuition and develop an integrative approach to the psychological understanding of intuition in judgment and decision making. Accordingly, some of the chapters reflect prior research from the heuristic processing perspective in the new light of the learning perspective. This book provides a representative overview of what we currently know about intuition in judgment and decision making. The authors provide latest theoretical developments, integrative frameworks and state-of-the-art reviews of research in the laboratory and in the field. Moreover, some chapters deal with applied topics. Intuition in Judgment and Decision Making aims not only at the interest of students and researchers of psychology, but also at scholars from neighboring social and behavioral sciences such as economy, sociology, political sciences, and neurosciences.
Book Synopsis Research Methods in Social Network Analysis by : Linton C. Freeman
Download or read book Research Methods in Social Network Analysis written by Linton C. Freeman and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1992 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of Herbert Spencer's Principles of Sociology in 1875, the use of social structure as a defining concept has produced a large body of creative speculations, insights, and intuitions about social life. However, writers in this tradition do not always provide the sorts of formal definitons and propositions that are the building blocks of modern social research. In its broad-ranging examination of the kind of data that form the basis for the systematic study of social structure, Research Methods in Social Network Analysis marks a significant methodological advance in network studies. As used in this volume, social structure refers to a bundle of intuitive natural language ideas and concepts about patterning in social relationships among people. In contrast, social networks is used to refer to a collection of precise analytic and methodological concepts and procedures that facilitate the collection of data and the systematic study of such patterning. Accordingly, the book's five sections are arranged to address analytical problems in a series of logically ordered stages or processes. The major contributors define the fundamental modes by which social structural phenomena are to be represented; how boundaries to a social structure are set; how the relations of a network are measured in terms of structure and content; the ways in which the relational structure of a network affects system actors; and how actors within a social network are clustered into cliques or groups. The chapters in the last section build on solutions to problems proposed in the previous sections. This highly unified approach to research design combined with a representative diversity of viewpoints makes Research Methods in Social Network Analysis a state-of-the-art volume.

Book Synopsis Pension Fund Capitalism by : Gordon L. Clark
Download or read book Pension Fund Capitalism written by Gordon L. Clark and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2000 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of pension funds has been nothing short of astronomical. Pension funds now dominate the world's financial markets, affecting nations' wealth, community development, and industrial well being. Yet little is known about their structure and organization. Pension funds and their agentsin the investment industry control enormous sums of money, profoundly affecting the structure and performance of nation-states and the global economy. At the same time, it is also apparent that many western governments are retreating from the provision of 'public good' once thought essential to thefabric of urban life. Clark agues that if we are to understand the long-term future of the western economies (in general) and our communities (in particular), we need also to understand how institutional investors allocate assets, mobilize funds, and make investment decisions. There are few studies of the relationship between pension funds and the financial services industry. Pension Fund Capitalism fills an important gap in the literature as well as the intersection between pension funds and public policy.
Book Synopsis Inefficient Markets by : Andrei Shleifer
Download or read book Inefficient Markets written by Andrei Shleifer and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000-03-09 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The efficient markets hypothesis has been the central proposition in finance for nearly thirty years. It states that securities prices in financial markets must equal fundamental values, either because all investors are rational or because arbitrage eliminates pricing anomalies. This book describes an alternative approach to the study of financial markets: behavioral finance. This approach starts with an observation that the assumptions of investor rationality and perfect arbitrage are overwhelmingly contradicted by both psychological and institutional evidence. In actual financial markets, less than fully rational investors trade against arbitrageurs whose resources are limited by risk aversion, short horizons, and agency problems. The book presents and empirically evaluates models of such inefficient markets. Behavioral finance models both explain the available financial data better than does the efficient markets hypothesis and generate new empirical predictions. These models can account for such anomalies as the superior performance of value stocks, the closed end fund puzzle, the high returns on stocks included in market indices, the persistence of stock price bubbles, and even the collapse of several well-known hedge funds in 1998. By summarizing and expanding the research in behavioral finance, the book builds a new theoretical and empirical foundation for the economic analysis of real-world markets.
Book Synopsis Private Equity at Work by : Eileen Appelbaum
Download or read book Private Equity at Work written by Eileen Appelbaum and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private equity firms have long been at the center of public debates on the impact of the financial sector on Main Street companies. Are these firms financial innovators that save failing businesses or financial predators that bankrupt otherwise healthy companies and destroy jobs? The first comprehensive examination of this topic, Private Equity at Work provides a detailed yet accessible guide to this controversial business model. Economist Eileen Appelbaum and Professor Rosemary Batt carefully evaluate the evidence—including original case studies and interviews, legal documents, bankruptcy proceedings, media coverage, and existing academic scholarship—to demonstrate the effects of private equity on American businesses and workers. They document that while private equity firms have had positive effects on the operations and growth of small and mid-sized companies and in turning around failing companies, the interventions of private equity more often than not lead to significant negative consequences for many businesses and workers. Prior research on private equity has focused almost exclusively on the financial performance of private equity funds and the returns to their investors. Private Equity at Work provides a new roadmap to the largely hidden internal operations of these firms, showing how their business strategies disproportionately benefit the partners in private equity firms at the expense of other stakeholders and taxpayers. In the 1980s, leveraged buyouts by private equity firms saw high returns and were widely considered the solution to corporate wastefulness and mismanagement. And since 2000, nearly 11,500 companies—representing almost 8 million employees—have been purchased by private equity firms. As their role in the economy has increased, they have come under fire from labor unions and community advocates who argue that the proliferation of leveraged buyouts destroys jobs, causes wages to stagnate, saddles otherwise healthy companies with debt, and leads to subsidies from taxpayers. Appelbaum and Batt show that private equity firms’ financial strategies are designed to extract maximum value from the companies they buy and sell, often to the detriment of those companies and their employees and suppliers. Their risky decisions include buying companies and extracting dividends by loading them with high levels of debt and selling assets. These actions often lead to financial distress and a disproportionate focus on cost-cutting, outsourcing, and wage and benefit losses for workers, especially if they are unionized. Because the law views private equity firms as investors rather than employers, private equity owners are not held accountable for their actions in ways that public corporations are. And their actions are not transparent because private equity owned companies are not regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Thus, any debts or costs of bankruptcy incurred fall on businesses owned by private equity and their workers, not the private equity firms that govern them. For employees this often means loss of jobs, health and pension benefits, and retirement income. Appelbaum and Batt conclude with a set of policy recommendations intended to curb the negative effects of private equity while preserving its constructive role in the economy. These include policies to improve transparency and accountability, as well as changes that would reduce the excessive use of financial engineering strategies by firms. A groundbreaking analysis of a hotly contested business model, Private Equity at Work provides an unprecedented analysis of the little-understood inner workings of private equity and of the effects of leveraged buyouts on American companies and workers. This important new work will be a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and the informed public alike.
Book Synopsis Assisting Russia's Transition by : Gianni Zanini
Download or read book Assisting Russia's Transition written by Gianni Zanini and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evaluation assesses the development effectiveness of the World Bank's lending and non-lending assistance to the Russian Federation since 1991, a 10-year period of tumultuous political, economic, and social change. This report concludes that an assistance strategy, concentrating on analytical and advisory services with limited financial support for Russia, would have been more appropriate than one involving large volumes of adjustment lending.
Book Synopsis The Crises of Microcredit by : Isabelle Guérin
Download or read book The Crises of Microcredit written by Isabelle Guérin and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microcredit programmes, long considered efficient development tools, now face unprecedented crises in a number of countries. Is this the end of microcredit or rather an essential step in its expansion? Should we stop microcredit altogether or rethink the way it is implemented? Drawing on extensive empirical research conducted in various parts of the world - from Morocco to Senegal to India - this important volume examines the whole chain of microcredit to provide the answers to these questions. In doing so, the authors highlight the diversity of crises, both in intensity and in nature, while also shedding light on a diversity of causes, be it microcredit organizations unprepared for massive growth, saturated local economies or greedy investors and shareholders attracted by profits. Crucially, the authors demonstrate that microcredit is not a monolithic project, and the crises should also be analysed in the light of national histories and policies. An original and necessary intervention in what has become one of the most contentious topics within the development world.
