Abstract

Financial analysts provide information in their research reports and thereby help forming expectations of a firm’s future business performance. Thus, it is essential to recognize analysts who provide the most precise forecasts, and the accounting literature identifies characteristics that help finding the most accurate analysts. Tanja Klettke detects new relationships and identifies two new determinants of earnings forecast accuracy. These new determinants are an analyst’s “general forecast effort” and the “number of supplementary forecasts”. Within two comprehensive empirical investigations she proves these measures’ power to explain accuracy differences. Tanja Klettke’s research helps investors and researchers to identify more accurate earnings forecasts.   Contents   ·        Analysts’ general forecast effort as forecast accuracy determinant ·        Impact of forecast effort on analysts’ career prospects ·        Analysts’ issuance of supplementary forecasts as forecast accuracy determinant   Target Groups ·       Academics and students in the fields of finance and accounting   ·       Financial analysts, professional capital market investors, and anyone who is interested in analysts’ earnings forecasts    The Author Dr. Tanja Klettke received her doctoral degree from the University of Cologne under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Carsten Homburg (Department of Business Administration and Management Accounting).  .

Abstract

Do company profits eventually converge on a common, competitive level? How long does the convergence process take? This book seeks to answer these questions through a comparison of company profitability using time-series data compiled at the firm level and at the industry level in Canada, France, Japan, Sweden, West Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The emphasis is on long-run, dynamic processes, and the perspective is that of Joseph Schumpeter, with profits converging, if at all, to competitive levels only in the long run. The basic methodology of the book is presented in one chapter, with the subsequent chapters focusing on results for individual countries. A summary chapter presenting major resolutions and their implications concludes the book.

Abstract

Will our addiction to profit destroy the world we live in?The profit motive now exercises an effective tyranny over our lives: in the private as well as the public sector, nowhere seems immune from its reach. International tycoons, economists and politicians are obsessed with economic growth. Yet, as Stuart Sim shows, the pursuit of excessive profit brought the world to the brink of economic chaos in the recent credit crisis and threatens us with environmental disaster as well. Despite this, neoliberalism still sets the agenda for economic policy in the West. Sim suggests various 'act up' stra

Abstract

How does my company actually work? How do I become a better manager? How can I fit these pieces together to get ahead? The Managers Guide to Driving Corporate Value Creation These questions are answered in this book. Mark Scott has created an easy-to-understand visual framework and the practical tools that will enhance any managers performance. He teaches you how to recognize what your own organization does well and what it does badly. The tools provided will help you make crucial improvements in your own area of responsibility within your organization. "In a decade where most management books wax lyrical on consulting fads for the boardroom, it focuses on the solid, unglamorous but essential ground of helping managers and employees diagnose performance and take action for themselves." Martin Sorrell, Chief Executive Officer, WPP Group PLC "Effective strategy is something that is lived everyday by managers at the coal face through a continual process of analysis, learning, refinement and application. This book is a useful primer for time-pressed managers who want to know how to add value to their companies strategies." Professor John Quelch, Dean, London Business School "Our business is founded on smart, independent thinking professionals helping clients solve complex problems. Any book that can give people better tools to understand these problems is useful. Unlike many I read, this is a useful book." Terence M. Graunke, Chairman, Lighthouse Holdings Inc

Abstract

Prouvy, avril 1922. Profitant des besoins gigantesques de la reconstruction dans le Nord après la première guerre mondiale, un petit industriel, en quête d’une affaire florissante, fonde la Société anonyme française Eternit. Objectif : produire des matériaux de couverture en amiante-ciment bon marché et en grande série. Cette firme, par l’absorption de concurrents, par l’implantation sur le marché des tubes et une stratégie commerciale agressive, acquiert rapidement un leadership. Les années 1955-1975 sont euphoriques, la demande, suscitée, est effrénée. Le territoire national est quadrillé par de nouvelles usines, la productivité et la pénétration outre-mer et dans le tiers monde sont poussées au maximum. Dès le départ, cette réussite est fondée sur un matériau dont la nocivité est connue depuis la fin du xixe siècle : l’amiante. Pendant des décennies, l’entreprise détruit le capital humain. Actuellement, l’amiante cause en France 10 décès par jour, 3 000 par an ; 100 000 sont à prévoir d’ici 2025, une hécatombe à laquelle participe largement l’Eternit française. À l’aide d’archives, de la presse économique, de témoignages, ce livre interroge pour la première fois le processus de domination d’une branche, les tests de la rentabilité capitaliste, les techniques, les métiers d’une industrie de la mort, la progression des maladies d’Eternit. L’amiante n’est interdit en France qu’en 1997, après 20 ans d’attente, en Europe qu’en 2005. Un problème capital est posé : que vaut la vie humaine au regard du profit ?
