SummaryThe paper deals with the issue of mergers and acquisitions on the western market, viewing the topic from the standpoint of their failure and success. The subject is an extremely important one at present, as, on the one side, there is a trend towards major international mergers and acquisitions and, on the other side, many researches indicate that more than half of deals fail.
Having done the research on main factors of failure of Mergers and Acquisitions, it was established that companies fail transactions, because they forget about shareholders’ interests and are often driven by their own interests and motivations. While shareholders are interested in financial flows that can generate a particular transaction, managers often overpay for the target, by mistake and sometimes even intentionally, and thus transfer wealth to target’s company. Secondly, managers pay often in stock rather than in cash, communicating in such a way to shareholders about company’s insufficient liquidity. There have been determined some other less frequent factors of failure, but still affecting acquiring company’s shareholders.
The moral of the paper consists in that shareholders have an uncanny knock to react immediately to changes in corporate structure by pushing up or by pulling down the stock prices. Although there exist numerous motivations for mergers and acquisitions, companies must always set in advance the ultimate goal of value creation for their shareholders

SummaryDividend policy is one of the most important financial policies, not only form the viewpoint of the company, but also from that of the shareholders, the consumers, the workers, regulatory bodies and the Government. For a company, it is a pivotal policy around which other financial policies rotate. Value of the corporate securities depends to a great extent on dividend and, therefore, in deciding upon the financial structure of a company, dividend has to be assigned due consideration.
Once a company makes a profit, the board of directors must decide what to do with those profits. They could continue to retain the profits within the company, or they could pay out the profits to the owners of the firm in the form of dividends.
Once a company decides to pay dividends, there should be established a somewhat permanent dividend policy, which would impact on investors and perceptions of the company in the financial markets providing information concerning the firm’s performance. The choice of the appropriate dividend policy depends on the preferences of investors and potential investors as well as on the company’s capital structure and its future plans.
The board of directors holds a fiduciary position both with regard to the company as well as shareholders. The board of directors must combine the three decisions pertaining to investment, financing and dividends simultaneously as these three decisions are interrelated. Dividend policy decision influences the financing decision of the firm through retained earnings. Financing decision would relate to the amount of funds to be raised from external sources as the investment needs of a firm can be fulfilled by a combination of retained earnings and external financing. Therefore, higher the amount of retained earnings, given the investment needs, lower will be the need for external finance and vice-versa.

SummaryPension funds serve to collect and manage an amount of capital, sufficient to make all payments to which participants of the fund are entitled based on the pension plan. The Akzo Nobel Pension Fund
(APF) is responsible for the provision of pensions for all employees of Akzo Nobel in the
Netherlands. It is the task of the Pensions and Insurance Supervisory Authority (PVK) to provide
rules and regulations which guarantee that pension funds are able to fulfill their pension promises. In response to economic and demographic changes in the environment in which pension funds operate,
the PVK drafted a new Financial Assessment Framework (FTK) that is meant to become effective as
of January 1st 2006.
Essential in the new FTK is the fact that the pension liability resulting from a defined benefit pension plan has to be calculated using market value interest yields as discount rates as opposed to the
current practice which uses a fixed rate for discounting pension liabilities. The new FTK increases
the risk exposure of pension funds, since the value of the liabilities will depend on volatile interest rates. As a result, the volatility of the funding ratio of the pension fund will also increase compared
to the current situation in which the liability value is not influenced by changes in market interest rates. This thesis aims to analyze the impact of the new valuation method of liabilities on the asset allocation of the APF.

SummaryThe main theme of this project is the facilitation and development of microfinance, which is the “provision of loans, savings, insurance, payments, and other basic financial services to low-income populations” .
The project is dedicated to identifying and evaluating existing options for microfinance institutions (MFIs) who wish to access the funds necessary to take advantage of the huge potential market for microfinance. This topic is particularly important as the current lack of funds remains the major growth constraint for the microfinance industry.
Global capital markets would enable MFIs to raise capital for lower rates and longer terms than local financing. Ways for MFIs to access global capital markets are therefore explored in details. The following three sources of commercial financing are then outlined and evaluated in the context of MFIs: bonds, securitization and (quasi-)equity.
However, although microfinance can be profitable, investors remain reluctant to invest in MFIs. We identify the main concerns preventing substantial investment in this area as: concerns over the inadequate risk-return profile, a lack of expertise or experience in the area, operational problems such as pricing, liquidity and legal issues and the perception of microfinance primarily as a form of charity. We then propose ways to deal with these concerns and promote investment in microfinance.
We demonstrate not only how microfinance can offer a relatively low level of systematic risk through its low volatility and weak correlation with political and economic events, but also how it offers a good opportunity for diversification. After showing certain comparability between investments in venture capital and microfinance, we suggest targeting venture capital investors as a priority in gaining access to equity capital.
Having explored and concentrated on the financial aspects of microfinance, we then remind the reader of huge benefits it represents in terms of poverty reduction in under-developed countries.
We conclude by mentioning some further challenges faced by microfinance, such as risk hedging, especially in the context of exchange rate risk, and achieving the three factors that determine a country’s ability to manage microfinance efficiently: political stability, economic security and cultural readiness.

SummaryInitial Public Offerings (IPOs) have a very special place in contemporary economics and finance. They represent the entrance on a deep and liquid market with access to almost unlimited reserves of capital from all over the world. But IPOs appear also as a short-term fund-raising tool, especially used during the high tech bubble of the late 1990s from new, innovative and invincible-looking start-up companies from the Silicon Valley. In those years, investment bankers (who set up IPOs for the companies going public) thrived and were sacred “kings of capitalism” by The Economist. Since then, the euphoria vanished but IPOs continued at a respectable pace.
Between 1980 and 2001, the number of IPOs in the US exceeded one per business day. The distribution was not equal: in 1999 and 2000 alone, 900 companies went public. What is more, the IPO business has reached global importance, raising $167 billion around the world in 2005 with 1537 operations. During the period 1998-2004, North America represented 27% of the global market, Europe, Africa and the Middle East combined 42% and Asia-Pacific 31%. The trends of globalization are thus reflecting on the IPO business worldwide: dominance of the US market (on a country basis comparison) and rise of East Asia (especially China).
In a system dominated by market financing, flotation appears often to be a mandatory step in the life of a company above a certain size. We do not discuss in this paper IPOs under this perspective of structural necessity; rather we question the short-term stakes of going public. Besides the strategic choice to be listed on the stock market, what are the immediate objectives of an IPO? It has certainly become, especially since the internet bubble, a corporate financing tool, along with private equity and mergers and acquisitions, aimed at raising funds in a short period of time. Thus, we consider here IPOs under this aspect of short-term financing, even if it has obviously much broader implications.
We can define the objectives of an IPO for a company as follows: raise the maximum value possible through the flotation, and assure a stable and, if possible, increasing price in the aftermarket. The second objective depends partly on the first one, which is basically the direct result of the sale price. Setting the price of the stock to be traded publicly is the greatest challenge in the IPO process, as it determines the equity allocation among investors and the subsequent trading price on the market. Financial theories give no final answer as to what method is the best. Hence the perpetuation of the academic debate.
We have chosen to envision IPOs, the challenges they pose to efficient markets and the theoretical answers to those, through game theory. This approach allows us to detect where inefficiencies occur, what the different motivations of the actors involved are and what possible solutions have been proposed and tested. Game theory appears to us as the best tool to study market inefficiencies by offering a special opportunity to have a critical outlook on market mechanisms and the effects of strategic interaction upon them.
Therefore, we will first present the challenges which IPOs pose to efficient markets (section one). Then we will detail an alternative mechanism for setting the price in an IPO process – auctions: what are their advantages and drawbacks (section 2)? Finally, we will study the flotation of EDF, one of the greatest IPOs in the world in the last years, a rare example of overpricing and also a subject of polemics in France (section 3).

SummaryThe general increase in volatility of the …nancial markets can be partly explained by the growing uncertainly of the economic environment. It is, on the other hand, a reflection of the growing efficiency and integration of the financial markets allow the almostinstantaneous move of capital from one market place to another and therefore the rapid
assimilation of any new, available information. Until the last years, the investors had not seen consecutive negative annual stock market returns since the 1970s. In contrast, during the 1980s and 1990s the market produced its best 20-year performance ever.
In fact, Most investors, portfolio managers, corporate financial analysts, investment bankers, commercial bank loan o¢ cers, security analysts and bond-rating agencies are concerned about the uncertainty of the returns on their investment assets, caused by the variability in speculative market prices (market risk) and the instability of business performance (credit risk) Derivative instruments have made hedging of such risks possible.
Hedging allows the selling of such risks by the hedgers, or suppliers of risk, to the speculators, or buyers of risk, but only when such risks are systematic, i.e., when they show a certain form on inertia or stability. Indeed, the current derivative markets are regular markets where "stable, » . Unfortunately, all there financial markets su¤er from major deficiencies.
The notion that risk matters, and that riskier investments should have a higher expected return than safer investments, to be considered good investments, is intuitive. Thus, the expected return on any investment can be written as the sum of the risk-free rate and an extra return to compensate for the risk. The risk premium is a fundamental
and critical component in portfolio management, corporate finance and in valuation. Given its importance, it is surprising that more attention has not been paid in practical terms to estimation issues. The disagreement in both theoretical and practical terms remains on how to measure the risk, and how to convert the risk measure into an expected return that compensates for risk.
The estimation of the equity risk premium is in general a di¢ cult task, but in emerging markets the challenge is simply formidable, for at least two reasons. First, usually in emerging markets researches have to cope with the general lack of relevant data, particularly the long series that are needed to study the equity premium. Second, even if
the world equity premium were stable, the equity risk premium of an emerging market may change over time, as its degree of integration to world capital markets change.
The objective of this work is to provide an estimation of the Tunisian Market Risk
Premium following the papers of Damodaran (2002) , Godfrey, S. and R. Espinosa, (1996),
Fama, Eugene F., and Kenneth R. French, (2002) and Hamilton, J. (1989).
To attempt this objective, our works will be structured as follows. First, we present some generalities about the financial market and the financial assets. Next, we present the financial risk and the methods of measurement. In the third chapter, we will define the market risk premium and present some methods which will be used to estimate this number for the Tunisian market. Finally, we use these models to estimate the Tunisian Market
Risk Premium over more than one decade. This last chapter is based upon BVMT index, the money market rate, the inflation rate and dividend data collected from "La Bourse des Valeurs Mobileres de Tunis" and "Banque Centrale de Tunisie".

SummaryTraditionally, stock option plans have been used as a way for companies to reward top management and "key" employees and link their interests with those of the company and other shareholders. More and more companies, however, now consider all of their employees as "key." As a result, there has been an increase in the popularity of broad-based stock option plans, particularly since the late 1980s. Publicly traded companies such as Pepsico, Starbucks, Southwest Airlines, and Cisco now give stock options to most or all of their employees.

SummaryDo markets really follow a random walk as modern financial theory suggests? Are we likely to experience a market crash as deadly as the likes of the Great Depression? What is the nature of volatility and how should it impact the way we model financial markets? Although definitive answers to these questions have yet to be formulated, Benoit Mandelbrot’s work, The (Mis)Behavior of Markets, sheds light onto them through a non-quantitative approach.
There are currently widespread misconceptions about markets, investors, and their behavior, and we will begin by addressing these false assumptions.

Table of Contents- Do markets really follow a random walk as modern financial theory suggests?
- There are currently widespread misconceptions about markets, investors, and their behavior
- Having discussed the investor, it is necessary to point out certain 'shaky' assumptions relating to market behavior, particularly price movement
- Rule 1: Markets are risky
- The scaling effect is present in every level of business operations
- Today's models falsely assume the financial system is a 'linear, continuous, rational machine.?
- Although we have trillions of pieces of data from P/E ratios, to historical prices, to EBITDA, the 'toolkit' that we use to measure risk is 'surprisingly bare.

SummaryThe retail industry is flooded with products and services, all vying for market share and revenue. In order to succeed, the different firms must carefully understand and analyze the market they are in. They must ask questions about their rivals and the structure of the industry, as well as make decisions regarding pricing and non-pricing strategies. FranklinCovey is a firm that sells planning systems for mostly business professionals, in the market of planners/organizers. They compete with other well-known brands such as At-a-Glance and DayRunner, yet there are characteristics that set them apart. During my observation of this firm, I came across distinctive elements of the industry and its overall structure, and made note of their various pricing and non-pricing strategies.
Table of Contents- The retail industry is flooded with products and services, all vying for market share and revenue
- FranklinCovey is a global corporation, specializing in providing the necessary tools for efficiency and success in the workplace
- FranklinCovey is different than most other competing products because it is a year round firm
- This niche market can be categorized in a couple different ways
- Along with an exceptional shopping experience, revenue will increase as sales increase with returning customers and new purchasers
