description: Super Luxurious Auto (SLA) is a fictionalised case study based on a real engagement undertaken by Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) involving a complete financial and operational restructuring. The case is about a company unable to meet its debt obligations as a consequence of deteriorating financial performance following a global merger.The case sets up a class-room role-play discussion. In class, each student will take the role of one of the key stakeholders - senior lender, junior lender, private equity owner, distressed debt hedge fund, A&M or management. The case material includes general background material on the company and, separately, specific notes outlining the particular issues and concerns faced by each stakeholder. When preparing the case, students are required to consider the perspective of the particular stakeholder assigned to them in groups and determine the negotiation strategy. In class, the company's recent situation will be surveyed; this will then be followed by a negotiation between the stakeholders as to what to do.Students are encouraged to read all the material, including all the role briefings, but are required to pay particular attention to the general briefing notes and the specific notes for the role assigned to them.

description: 2019 was an important year for Haier. Its new version of its radically decentralised structure, dubbed Rendanheyi 2.0, based on many independent 'Ecosystem Micro-enterprise Communities' (EMCs) had been devised to help it respond to the shifting ways of adding value in the digital, internet-based economy. In 2019 BrandZ declared that Haier was the first and only Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem brand. By the close of the year, a handful of EMCs had established themselves based on user demands, including the Internet of Clothing, the Internet of Food, U-vaccine, the Internet of Blood, Smart Home Whole-set Experience EMC, Gas Stove & Water Heater EMC, COSMOPlat RV EMC, Agriculture EMC and XCook. More dynamic EMCs would be created as opportunities were identified. Ecosystem competition was growing from other companies in China, keen to leverage their user bases. And, while the ME and EMC structures were successfully implemented in China, it was harder to do this in Haier's international operations.

description: On 25 March 2014, Trip4real founder Gloria Molins was on her way to Barcelona airport, where she and her small but passionate and audacious team would meet up and fly to San Francisco to pitch Airbnb's co-founders on a partnership, when her phone buzzed. She had received a term sheet proposal for a Euros million Series A round from a venture capital (VC) firm. She felt a rush of gratitude. She had launched Trip4real less than two years ago, with the aim of connecting travellers with local people for authentic and meaningful experiences, and securing these funds would make it possible for her to fulfil her dream of changing the way people travel. Reading the term sheet, however, she saw several clauses that she needed to evaluate. This would be the first time she negotiated venture funding, and she needed to sort through the terms, define her priorities, and develop a strategy before sitting down with the experienced investors. And she needed to do it fast, since the term sheet would expire in 10 days.

He has been pushing a major programme of change over the previous three years and is considering the next steps: how to maintain momentum, what additional initiatives to pursue and whether to encourage other parts of Engie to apply a similar approach in their divisions. The case provides a lot of detail on the internal organisational changes in GEM from 2016-2019. In particular, it focuses on how some parts of GEM adopted 'holacracy' - a self-organising system in which individual teams take full responsibility for defining their own work and how it fits with others. The case also provides a lot of detail on the broader cultural change and the high levels of investment in professional training around new techniques and concepts.

During his tenure, Marchionne steered Ferrari onto a trajectory of sustained profitable growth. He split the company from Fiat-Chrysler, floated it on the New York Stock Exchange and expanded production beyond a self-imposed limit of 7,000 cars per year. Between 2015 and 2017 shipments increased 10% and share price more than 100%. But the auto industry was undergoing structural change, including the emergence of electric-motor technologies, toughening emissions regulations and changing consumer preferences, which could render Ferrari's strategy irrelevant. Marchionne pondered various options, such as the introduction of an electric supercar and an exclusive SUV s'“ options that had profound implications for resource allocation and other strategic decisions.

Vacuum Stability Bounds On Higgs Mass With Gravitational Contributions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We calculate the gravitational contributions to $ϕ^4$ theory with general $R_ξ$ gauge-fixing choice and find that the result is gauge independent. Based on weak coupling expansion of gravity and ignoring the possible higher dimensional operators from "integrating out" the impact of gravity, we study the impacts of gravitational effects on vacuum stability. New contributions to the beta function of scalar quartic coupling $\la$ by gravitational effects can modify the RGE running of $\la$ near the Planck scale. Numerical calculations show that the lower bound of higgs mass requiring absolutely vacuum stability can be relaxed for almost 0.6 to 0.8 GeV depending on the choice of top quark mass.

description: We present results on the ballistic and diffusive behavior of the Langevin dynamics in a periodic potential that is driven away from equilibrium by a space-time periodic driving force, extending some of the results obtained by Collet and Martinez. In the hyperbolic scaling, a nontrivial average velocity can be observed even if the external forcing vanishes in average. More surprisingly, an average velocity in the direction opposite to the forcing may develop at the linear response level -- a phenomenon called negative mobility. The diffusive limit of the non-equilibrium Langevin dynamics is also studied using the general methodology of central limit theorems for additive functionals of Markov processes. To apply this methodology, which is based on the study of appropriate Poisson equations, we extend recent results on pointwise estimates of the resolvent of the generator associated with the Langevin dynamics. Our theoretical results are illustrated by numerical simulations of a two-dimensional system.

description: Set in January 2002, this case examines the three-way takeover battle for cruise industry dominance involving Carnival, P&O Princess and Royal Caribbean. It also documents the evolution of the modern cruise industry and the competitive dynamics that led to momentous consolidation. After secret meetings, Royal Caribbean and P&O Princess announce a plan to merge under an unusual dual-listed-company structure. Combined, the two companies would overtake Carnival as the world's largest cruise operator. Carnival, a previous suitor for the No. 3 cruise line, jumps in with a hostile takeover attempt. The offer is promptly rejected by the P&O Princess board, which refuses to engage in any conversation with Carnival. Micky Arison, Carnival's President, CEO and major shareholder, is resolute on overcoming the intricacies of a deal entailing poison pills, subject to regulatory approval, and taking place against the backdrop of unprecedented economic and geopolitical uncertainty. With little time left before the merger becomes effective and only publicly available data to go by, Arison must lay out strategic options, ponder risks and determine whether and how far Carnival should go to sweeten its offer.

description: Providing education to all Queensland senior secondary students requires schools, Registered Training Organisations (RTO’s) and Universities to employ online learning to deliver curriculum over Queensland’s vast geographical region. Many regional, rural and remote senior secondary students across Queensland these online courses to bolster their Senior Education Training Plan (SETP), access Vocational Education training Qualifications, achieve a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) or earn on Overall Position (OP) score for University entry requirements. This study explores what might be done to mitigate barriers and what educators can do to enhance educational outcomes for senior secondary students who access online courses. Over the past decade there has been an increase in research activity in the K–12 sector, most from the teacher’s or organizational perspective, and predominately, undertaken outside of Australia. Researchers have identified the need for research to shift focus from the teacher and organizational perspectives to the student experience of online learning. This study aims to address the dearth of student voice literature by researching Queensland regional, rural and remote senior secondary (Year 10–12) student perceptions of the enablers and barriers they experience in online learning. Based on findings in the literature, focus areas identified for the research and were formalised into three main themes: resources and content, socialization and communication, and finally teacher-student relationships. The research used an Explanatory Sequential Mixed Methods design with quantitative data collection in phase one through the use of an online anonymous survey and follow-up focus groups for phase two. Participants were selected, using a convenience sampling technique, with participants drawn from state secondary schools and non-state schools of distance education across Queensland. The study contributes original practical and theoretical research outputs. The research discusses the significance of the teacher-student relationship in an online course, highlights the importance of the quality and selection of the resources and content within an online course and finally presents student’s perceptions about the role of socialisation and communication within an online course. The research presents a student-centred virtual learning conceptual lens that provides a framework for understanding online learning from the student point of view.

description: Schwartz (1982, 1988) found that a pretraining of contingent reinforcement interferes with subsequent rule discovery. The present study investigated the effects of schedule imposed sequential and quantitative constraints (Timberlake & Allison, 1974) on task performance in a subsequent test phase. Sixty-four Ss, students of the University of Duesseldorf, were assigned at random to one of four experimental conditions, differing according to the presence vs. absence of sequential and quantitative constraints, respectively. Discrimination-learning performance and variability during test phase were significantly better for Ss experiencing sequential constraint during treatment. In contrast, the introduction of a quantitative restriction during treatment had no statistically significant effects on test phase performance.

description: This paper has its motivation in the study of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect. We consider 2D quantum particles submitted to a strong perpendicular magnetic field, reducing admissible wave functions to those of the Lowest Landau Level. When repulsive interactions are strong enough in this model, highly correlated states emerge, built on Laughlin's famous wave function. We investigate a model for the response of such strongly correlated ground states to variations of an external potential. This leads to a family of variational problems of a new type. Our main results are rigorous energy estimates demonstrating a strong rigidity of the response of strongly correlated states to the external potential. In particular we obtain estimates indicating that there is a universal bound on the maximum local density of these states in the limit of large particle number. We refer to these as incompressibility estimates.
The Economic Value of Natural Areas for Recreational Hunting
Creators: name: Holbrook, Kenneth Gene
Publisher: name: Kentucky Water Resources Research Institute, University of Kentucky
Year: 1970

description: Abstract:
The pressures of population growth, urbanization, and improved transportation are diminishing the availability of quality naturalistic sites for recreation while at the same time producing greater demands for their use. One cause contributing to the reduction in acreage in naturalistic areas is the construction of reservoirs. The recreational hunting value of the naturalistic area to be inundated should be considered as a negative consequence in the economic evaluation of a proposed reservoir site.
This study utilized hunting data collected by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, from the 120 Kentucky counties to estimate the economic, value of the average hunter-day associated with seven selected species groups (squirrels, rabbit, bobwhite, farm menace, sectional winged, deer and waterfowl) in each of the counties.
The study sought to develop a methodology for estimating average annual values of (1) the number of recreational hunters and (2) the economic worth of their hunting. The gravity model was developed into a form applicable to the estimation of average annual hunter-trips as a function of distances from the site to surrounding population centers. The economic value of a hunter-trip was implied from the visitation estimation equation by converting distance to economic units. Parameter values for use in the model were estimated from the available data and tabulated.
The methodology was applied to Rough River Reservoir, which inundated 5,100 acres in Western Kentucky in 1960. The average annual recreational hunting value lost was $2,327 just under $330/year per square mile. Values per hunter trip ranged from $1.13 for squirrel to $2.89 for deer. The annual number of hunter-trips was estimated to be about 170 per square mile, almost half for rabbits.

description: Coherent structures such as jets and vortices appear in two-dimensional (2D) turbulence. To gain insight into both numerical simulation and equilibrium statistical mechanical descriptions of 2D Euler flows, the Euler equation with added hyperviscosity is integrated forward in time on the square torus and on the sphere. Coherent structures that form are compared against a hierarchy of truncated Miller-Robert-Sommeria equilibria. The energy-circulation-enstrophy MRS-2 description produces a complete condensation of energy to the largest scales, and in the absence of rotation correctly predicts the number and polarity of coherent vortices. Perturbative imposition of the quartic Casimir constraint improves agreement with numerical simulation by sharpening the cores and transferring some energy to smaller-scale modes. MRS-2 cannot explain qualitative changes due to rotation, but descriptions that conserve higher Casimirs beyond enstrophy have the potential to do so. The result is in agreement with the somewhat paradoxical observation that hyperviscosity helps to remedy the non-conservation of the third and higher Casimirs in numerical simulation. For a rotating sphere, numerical simulation also demonstrates that coherent structures found at late times depend on initial conditions, limiting the usefulness of statistical mechanics.

Accounting information, conservatism, rationally inattentive investors, and market valuation
Creators: name: Zhu, Zhangyao
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: My dissertation focuses on relevance of accounting information and models of rational inattention. Rational inattention suggests investors have limited attention spans and need to decide how to allocate their time. In the first part of my dissertation, I suggest that investor inattention provides an indirect incentive to managers for increasing relevance of accounting information. The second part suggests that managers can affect relevance of accounting information through accounting conservatism. In the context of rational inattention, I prove that accounting conservatism can increase long term value of the firm and make accounting information more relevant for predicting future earnings. In the third part, I look at how differences in information processing costs of investors in a rational inattention setting impacts information captured by price and I use this to offer an explanation for price movements following financial disclosures and announcements.

description: While dust contamination now appears as a likely explanation of the apparent tension between the recent BICEP2 data and the Planck data, we will here explore the consequences of a large running in the spectral index as suggested by the BICEP2 collaboration as an alternative explanation of the apparent tension, but which would be in conflict with prediction of the simplest model of chaotic inflation. The large field chaotic model is sensitive to UV physics, and the nontrivial running of the spectral index suggested by the BICEP2 collaboration could therefore, if true, be telling us some additional new information about the UV completion of inflation. However, before we would be able to draw such strong conclusions with confidence, we would first have to also carefully exclude all the alternatives. Assuming monomial chaotic inflation is the right theory of inflation, we therefore explore the possibility that the running could be due to some other less UV sensitive degree of freedom. As an example, we ask if it is possible that the curvature perturbation spectrum has a contribution from a curvaton, which makes up for the large running in the spectrum. We find that this effect could mask the information we can extract about the UV physics. We also study different different models, which might lead to a large negative intrinsic running of the curvaton.

Exploring consumer attitudes towards humour and celebrities in the TV advertisements for Polish banking products

description: Humour and celebrity endorsements are popular tools used in advertising to evoke emotions in advertising around the world. However, these tools have only recently been used in Polish advertising campaigns. This change occurred after the fall of Communism in 1989. Prior to that for over forty years bank advertising was rare and provided only by Government agencies (Alozie, 2011). Now virtually all bank advertisements in Poland include humour and/or celebrities. However, due to the lack of research in humour and celebrity endorsements from a Polish perspective and of Polish Bank TV advertising there are gaps in knowledge. This thesis makes theoretical, methodological and practical contributions to knowledge by adding to our understanding of the different humour types and celebrity attributes depicted and preferred in Polish Bank TV advertisements. The theoretical contribution includes, firstly, the Product Colour Matrix (PCM) for main banking products and services in Poland. Secondly, an attitudinal model of Polish TV banking advertisements using humour and celebrities. Thirdly, the typology of the main and detailed types of humour in banking advertisements. And fourthly, humour types and celebrity attributes preferences models. Methodological contributions include a specific philosophical framework and research design to scientifically investigate humour types and celebrity attributes preferences dependent on the specific banking product and the age group. Practical contributions encompass, firstly, humour types and celebrity attributes preferences models. Secondly, a product/humour type preferences and product/celebrity attributes preferences typology for banking products. A deep understanding of the phenomenon of humour and celebrity endorsement in advertising required a mixed methods approach using interpretivism is the underlying philosophy with the qualitative research dominant. The mixed method form was concurrent Qual/Quant with the data from the survey being the confirmatory element. Open ended questions in the survey, focus groups and depth interviews provided extensive narratives which revealed participants’ attitudes toward humorous campaigns and led to the product/humour type and product/celebrity attributes preferences typologies presented as two models. These models can be useful as a guideline for the advertising industry. Academically, the outcome will help to close the knowledge gaps and will serve as a guideline for further empirical studies. The key findings demonstrated that not all humour types and celebrity attributes are relevant for particular products and different generations. The findings suggest different generations different life experiences and the advertising industry must appeal appropriately to each (if they are the target market). Therefore, different humour types and celebrity attributes should be tailored to the type of the banking product and the age group.

description: De-democratization is a global trend, with an increasing number of governments gradually dismantling democratic institutions and norms in their countries. De-democratization can be seen as an incremental crisis that radically redraws the sociopolitical order. This article is among the first to highlight external knowledge producers in autocratizing contexts. Relying on a unique data set of 40 interviews with Polish think tankers conducted before and after the Law and Justice party came to power in 2015 and began pushing the country in an authoritarian direction, the article analyses how liberal think tanks handle de-democratization. The findings show that autocratization entails a reconfiguration of the think tank space; i.e. think tanks aligning with the government blossom and think tanks opposing the government are marginalized through a lack of public funding and access to policymakers. Second, significant changes in think tank tactics, strategies, and identities, especially among liberal organizations, are exposed. The doxic mode through which liberal think tanks produce analyses and provide policy advice as “nonpartisan experts” has shifted to the use of contentious tactics and the assumption of an openly political identity as “democracy defenders”.

The case ends in 2020 with the transformation process still incomplete. Good progress has been made, but there is still a gap between the new positioning and Kishore's strategic intent on the one hand, and the reality of Zensar's performance on the other. Students are asked to assess how successful Kishore has been and what he should do next.

description: This is part of a case series. As the Alps disappeared into the darkness through NayaMed's window, the General Manager Aarnav Sendutta considered how to grow his fledgling unit. It was February 2014, and NayaMed, a unit of medical device giant, Medtronic, was just over two years old. It was formed to distribute Medtronic's economy range of heart pacemakers and defibrillators, with regional sales and online technical support. Aarnav was facing two key issues. The first was the perception from Medtronic sales reps that NayaMed would cannibalise their offering. The second issue was how to grow the unit, which currently operated from its Lausanne base in Switzerland, targeting only Italy, Germany and Sweden. The business had grown but was still very small, generating US $4 million in its second year of existence. Aarnav's passion for the NayaMed business was clear, the justification for NayaMed made good business sense, but attempts to grow it were being constrained by organisational issues within the parent company, Medtronic. What could they do?

title: Singlet - triplet gaps in polymers from range-separated time dependent density functional theory
Creators: name: Kociper, Birgit
Publisher: name: Universität Regensburg

Subjects: subject: Long range corrected exchange-correlation functionals, polymers, TDDFT, singlet-triplet gap tuning, triphenylene, triplet state localization, phosphorescence
subject: 530 Physik

description: The target of the master thesis is to reproduce the experimental results of the singlet-triplet gap tuning of triphenylene based polymers. After introducing the theoretical basics of time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and different exchange correlation (XC) functionals, the specific methods and challenges are discussed. By means of standard and long-range corrected (LRC) TDDFT methods, the absorption and emission energies and the triplet localization behavior is calculated then for different types of polymers and one monomer. The experimentally observed fixed phosphorescence energy is not reproduced because the localization pattern is different to the expectations: Instead of localizing on the triphenylene unit - which is the backbone unit of all types of polymers - the triplet state localizes in the TDDFT calculations on the different bridging units. This leads to different triplet emission energies for each type of polymer. However, the phosphorescence energy of the pure triphenylene chain is predicted accurately by means of the LRC-PBE XC functional and slightly less accurate by the standard hybrid B3LYP. Yet, the possible reasons for the deviating results for the other polymers indicate that LRC TDDFT has the potential to predict the triplet emission energies as well as the localization behavior more accurate than with standard XC functionals.

description: We study classical configurations in the ${\mathbb C}P^{N-1}$ model on ${\mathbb R}^{1}\times S^{1}$ with twisted boundary conditions. We focus on specific configurations composed of multiple fractionalized-instantons, termed "neutral bions", which are identified as "perturbative infrared renormalons" by Ünsal and his collaborators. For ${\mathbb Z}_N$ twisted boundary conditions, we consider an explicit ansatz corresponding to topologically trivial configurations containing one fractionalized instanton ($ν=1/N$) and one fractionalized anti-instanton ($ν=-1/N$) at large separations, and exhibit the attractive interaction between the instanton constituents and how they behave at shorter separations. We show that the bosonic interaction potential between the constituents as a function of both the separation and $N$ is consistent with the standard separated-instanton calculus even from short to large separations, which indicates that the ansatz enables us to study bions and the related physics for a wide range of separations. We also propose different bion ansatze in a certain non-${\mathbb Z}_{N}$ twisted boundary condition corresponding to the "split" vacuum for $N= 3$ and its extensions for $N\geq 3$. We find that the interaction potential has qualitatively the same asymptotic behavior and $N$-dependence as those of bions for ${\mathbb Z}_{N}$ twisted boundary conditions.

Pretty good state transfer of entangled states through quantum spin chains

description: The XX model with uniform couplings represents the most natural choice for quantum state transfer through spin chains. Given that it has long been established that single-qubit states cannot be transferred with perfect fidelity in this model, the notion of pretty good state transfer has been recently introduced as a relaxation of the constraints on fidelity. In this paper, we study the transfer of multi-qubit entangled and unentangled states through unmodulated spin chains, and we prove that it is possible to have pretty good state transfer of any multi-particle state. This significantly generalizes the previous results on single-qubit state transfer, and opens way to using uniformly coupled spin chains as quantum channels for the transfer of arbitrary states of any dimension. Our results could be tested with current technology.

description: The case analyses how Burberry developed and executed a strategy centered on millennial consumers, British appeal and distinctive digital capabilities, transforming the sesquicentennial brand into an international luxury powerhouse. Burberry’s digital transformation was spearheaded by CEO Angela Ahrendts and Chief Creative Officer (CCO) Christopher Bailey. Between 2006 and 2014, the duo launched a multitude of initiatives, such as innovative social media campaigns, livestream fashion shows, and a new e-commerce platform, enabled by a state-of-the-art technological infrastructure and a closely connected organisational culture. When Ahrendts left to join Apple, Bailey assumed the position of CEO and CCO at Burberry. In May 2015, 10 months into his new dual role, Bailey prepared to report mixed results for the last financial year and reveal his plans to address the challenges presented by the changing competitive landscape.

description: Democracy has come under pressure worldwide, with growing concern over an apparent reverse wave of democratic backsliding at the global level. Bridging conceptual approaches and empirical research, this article investigates patterns of democratic backsliding in third-wave democracies. It applies a range of innovative sequence analysis techniques to the Varieties of Democracy dataset to provide a dynamic perspective on the evolution of different types of democratic safeguards against executive expansion. The resulting typology differentiates stable trajectories from different patterns of backsliding and sheds light on the diversity of backsliding processes that diverge in their shape, depth, and timing in respect to initial democratic transition. The findings contribute to broader debates on the nature of democratic backsliding and have important implications both for our theoretical understanding of the phenomenon and the practical responses devised to counter backsliding trends.

description: For Sid Worley, it was decision time. He had spent the last two years courting the management and the family owners of his largest competitor, and finally (and unexpectedly) they had indicated that they would be receptive to 'serious offers' to buy the company. Worley was excited and determined to buy the company, but now he faced the reality of having to come up with an offer that would work.

description: The case describes how Dollar Shave Club proved to be a disruptive force in the shaving industry, one dominated by Gillette for over a Century. It did so without a single patent to its name, and with a direct-to-consumer subscription and a content-based customer engagement model that was new to the shaving industry, but not to consumer products at large (e.g., Nespresso and Red Bull, respectively). The case demonstrates the disruptive power of a digital platform model, and highlights how new marketing capabilities can disrupt traditional channels. It challenges P&G owned Gillette to formulate a strategic response in light of Unilever's threat to acquire the upstart business. The case provides online links to a rich set of free videos that include a CEO interview, competitive advertising, and analyst commentary.
