Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: Good, Ruhr-University of Bochum, course: MA (ECUE), language: English, abstract: Two-sided markets consist of two or more exclusive groups, present simultaneously on a single platform. They both need each other. In order to succeed the platform provider must ensure active participation of both groups. In the beginning these bazaars face chicken-and-egg problem, which should be solved, sometimes even by providing free chicken. These markets include some of the most important industries in new economy such as mobile telephony companies, free TV services, OS suppliers, software providers, gaming companies, credit card companies, auction sites etc. Ebay and amazon are good examples of two-sided markets. In such two-sided markets buyers and sellers first trade with the intermediary/ies so as to gain access to the functionalities of a platform and then trade with each other under oligopolistic conditions. In chapter 1 of this paper an attempt has been made to describe finer nuances of two-sided markets. Thereafter I proceed to discuss the various dynamics of two-sided markets in chapter 2. Two-sided firms differ from traditional industries and they follow totally different business economics. Marginal cost does not help them in deciding optimal price. Pricing policies and other business strategies must be formulated in such a way that it should ensure active interaction of both groups. Pricing strategy should get both sides on board and should also solve chicken-and-egg problem. Chapter 3 describes the pricing policy adopted by two-sided markets. Chapter 4 deals with relevance of two-sided markets for competition policy. Competition Authorities do not need different set of rules to regulate these industries. However Competition Authorities must consider various economic principles that influence pricing and investment decisions in two-sided markets. Chapter 5 concludes with various observations and suggestions.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich BWL - Wirtschaftspolitik, Note: 2,0, Philipps-Universität Marburg (Wirtschaftspolitik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Wirtschaftliches Wachstum wird zunehmend mit Innovationen in Verbindung gebracht. Zentrale Erfolgskriterien einer Volkswirtschaft entspringen aus der Innovationsfähigkeit und der realen Innovationstätigkeit von Unternehmen. Diese haben sowohl positiven Einfluss auf den sozialen Wohlstand als auch auf die Konsumentenwohlfahrt. Um dem zukunftsrelevanten, volkswirtschaftlichen Stellenwert von Innovationen gerecht zu werden, zeichnete sich am Ende des letzten Jahrhunderts in den USA eine Entwicklung ab, Innovationen in den Zielkatalog wettbewerbpolitischer Tätigkeit aufzunehmen. Ziel der USAntitrustpolitik war es, Wohlfahrtssteigerungen durch die Förderung der Innovationstätigkeit und durch die optimale Gestaltung des Innovationswettbewerbs zu erreichen. Weiterhin wurde vermutet, dass ebenso der Wettbewerb zur Hervorbringung von Innovationen durch Konsequenzen von Marktkonzentration beschränkt werden kann. Die USamerikanische Antitrustpolitik ging davon aus, dass konzentrierte Innovationskapazitäten Unternehmen befähigen, den Wettbewerb zu beschränken. Daraus wurde eine Reduktion der Innovationstätigkeit vermutet, wodurch die Innovationsrate vermindert oder die Innovationsgeschwindigkeit verlangsamt wurde. Um dies zu beseitigen, wurde die fusionsbedingte Verhaltensveränderung auf die Innovationstätigkeit wettbewerbspolitisch untersucht. Einhergehend damit wurde die ¿Innovation Market Analysis¿(IMA) als ergänzendes Instrument der Fusionskontrolle entwickelt. Es handelte sich dabei um eine Konzeption, die Konsequenzen von fusionsbedingter Marktkonzentration auf die Erzeugung von Innovationen bezog. Hierzu bediente sie sich dem Konstrukt eines abgegrenzten Innovationsmarkts. Ziel der IMA war es, Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen im Vorfeld aufzuspüren und diese zu verhindern, um durch parallele Forschungspfade, schnelle Innovationsgeschwindigkeit und hohe Innovationsrate die Wohlfahrt zu optimieren. Jedoch erwies sich die Grundlage der IMA in theoretischer und empirischer Hinsicht als problematisch. Das Werk versucht, die wettbewerbspolitische Entwicklung der IMA darzustellen, deren theoretische Grundlagen, Funktionsweisen, praktische Anwendungen und Ziele im Rahmen der US-Antitrustpolitik abzubilden. Zum anderen wird überprüft, ob die IMA als wettbewerbspolitisches Instrument theoretisch, rechtlich und konzeptionell adäquat ist, um die Erzeugung von Innovationen durch Fusionskontrolle zu optimieren.

Diploma Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 2, University of applied sciences, language: English, abstract: Public interest for outer space ventures was huge in the beginning of space flight as spectacular successes were achieved in the space race between the Soviet Union and the United States. The enthusiasm culminated in the moon landing of 1969. Since then only spectacular events in space travel were covered by the media and noticed by the public. However in reality often the non-exciting developments were those which changed life on Earth most significantly. Many developments for space travel and the usage of outer space made and still make our civilisation totally dependent on outer space activities. This includes the development of satellites for communication, television, Earth observation, weather forecasting and navigation to name just a few. All this happened widely unnoticed by the broad public. What is even more overlooked by the public but changed life at least as significantly are ¿spin off technologies¿ with the Personal Computer being the most prominent one. Despite the huge growth during the 1990s, only a few studies on the future potential of the space market were conducted on a comprehensive basis. This thesis therefore draws a complete overview of all aspects and sectors of the space market and analyses its future potential as well as the potential of possible future applications. Additionally the legal and institutional framework of outer space activities and its implications on business activities, institutional space ventures, military space applications, and commercial companies is discussed in this work. The results show that outer space is a market with a huge potential, not only due to the growth potential in already existing applications like navigation and communication, but also due to a large potential in emerging applications like spacetourism and in future applications like mining on the moon. In addition not only commercial applications are growing but also military and governmental spending for space ventures is on the rise due to increasing commitment of emerging countries like India and China, and the drive of industrialised nations to keep their leading position. Based on the extensive analysis the thesis suggests that the outer space sector as a whole is emerging and will become increasingly important in the future.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2005 in the subject Economics - Industrial Economics, grade: 1,0, Wayne State University (Department of Economics), course: Industrial Organization, language: English, abstract: PepsiCo, one of the world¿s largest beverage and food companies, is presently focused on widen its business in Europe through the subsidiary PepsiCo International. In 2004, international sales accounted for $ 9,949 million - that is about one third of its group revenues. [Clark (European takeover targets), p. 31.] Recently, the company has negotiated and realized several acquisitions in Europe. In May 2005, PepsiCo bought the leading German juice maker Punica Getraenke. [Mercer (Europe¿s juice sector), p. 1.] In November 2005, it has reached agreement on the principal terms and conditions for the purchase of Sara Lee Corporation¿s European nuts business in the Netherlands, Belgium and France. [PepsiCo International (Sara Lee Nuts Business), p. 1.] With these investments, PepsiCo is driving an international expansion strategy. It aims growth outside the United States (U.S.) by adding local products to their global brands, until its traditional carbonated soft drink portfolio suffers from slower growth, and even some decline. [Mercer (Europe¿s juice sector), p. 1.] Using this situation as a background, it is interesting to analyze the market of PepsiCo. Who are the global competitors? What structure has the market, as the firm is seeking for growth? The goals of this research are to deduct the market of PepsiCo and to measure its structure by using significant ratios. First, PepsiCo will be briefly described and the contrast of a global and local view of the market will be compared. Afterwards the competitors of the firm will be named. The market will be split into the non-alcoholic beverage sector and the convenient food sector. Finally, the structure of these sectors will be measured by the concentration ratio and Hirschmann-Herfindahl-Index.

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Dresden Technical University, course: HS Outstanding Film Directors, language: English, abstract: In this paper for the seminar ¿Outstanding Film Directors¿ I want to analyze two movies by Joel and Ethan Coen, namely "Fargo" (1996) and "The Big Lebowski", its successor from the year 1998. After introducing the movies along with their characters, storylines, symbolism, and other relevant issues, I am planning on pointing out to what extend they are similar and typically ¿Coen-esque¿, and how they differ. Special attention will be paid to the kidnapping-theme used in both movies, to the display of violence, and to the stylistic devices, especially to those that define the various genres (detective story, western, etc.) utilized by the directors. The way the Coens play with the expectations of their viewers and critics is also supposed to be a topic of this work. However, before I begin my paper, I would like to introduce the directors to the reader. Joel and Ethan Coen, often referred to as the Coen brothers or the ¿two-headed director¿, were born in St. Louis Park, Minnesota in 1954 and 1957 respectively. While Joel is always credited as the director, Ethan only appears as the producer. In reality though, both of them write, direct, and produce their movies, and also do the cutting, which might be one reason for their aforementioned nickname. Moreover, this fact underlines the humongous influence they have on the resulting product, as all the crucial production steps are carried into execution by them. It also explains the perfectionism to which they attach great importance. As the Coens have a clear vision of their movie-to-be and thus work hard at the preproduction, they will never accept improvisation. Rumor has it that every ¿yah¿ in Fargo was actually scripted (Kilzer, p. 167). It is common knowledge in the business that ad-lib performances are not something these two directors appreciate. Little is known about their private life because the Coen brothers set value on keeping it out of the public eye. But since they do not include self-depictions or references to their lives in their films, even though many critics suppose so, this fact will not prevent the subsequent discussion of the two named movies.

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, printed single-sided, grade: 1,7, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Institut für Anglistik), course: Concepts of Culture in the 19th Century, 17 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: An attempt to define the term socialism in a possibly precise and short way, as well as excerpts from the biographical background of William Morris, who is considered to be one of the first British socialists, will serve as an introduction to this work's subject. Different writings, and especially an article contributed by Morris in 1885 which he named "The Worker¿s Share of Art"1 will be the main reference before other, selected prospects, and ideas are taken into consideration. The introduction of socialism will only focus on those aspects that are necessary for further understanding and which re-emerge in the arguments and formulations of William Morris who only became a socialist in his mid fourties. Generally, socialism is "an ideology with the core belief that a society should exist in which popular collectives control the means of power, and therefore the means of production."2 One of the main objectives of socialism is a classless society, which can either be created by revolution, or social revolution. The problem of the extended, and more detailed description of socialism as a concrete model for a society is its history. Indeed, meanwhile socialism is often misunderstood and due to the fact that history has shown some misinterpretations of the term, namely the National Socialists in Germany for instance, it has become very difficult to point out what socialism really means today. According to that, the opportunity which lasts to characterize socialism anyway, is to look at it at a certain time, and to leave out its historical development in general, but only to include those changes and processes which are of great importance for the period in question. Furthermore, there are other useful criteria to divide socialism as for instance the distinction between "Socialism from above", and "Socialism from beneath" as Hal Draper presents in his work "The Two Souls of Socialism"3 in which he also refers to Morris.

Diploma Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Economy - Theory of Competition, Competition Policy, grade: 1,7, University of Bonn (Finanzwirtschaftliches Institut), language: English, abstract: The question if and how the ownership structure influences the market value of a firm is one of the most extensive studied subjects in corporate governance. Three main determinants were identified during more than 30 years of research: 1. The size of the block 2. The legal and regulatory environment 3. The type of blockholder This work uses the acquisition of voting blocks by different types of acquirers (point 3) to determine how the shareholder structure in Germany (point 2) influences the valuation of a firm. It is demonstrated that the heterogeneity between block acquirers has to be taken into account, i.e. the size of a block (acquisition) itself (point 1) is not a distinctive enough instrument to determine valuation aspects. The main results are that a block acquisition by banks in Germany results in a negative value effect. A cumulated abnormal return (CAR) of -2.7% in the event-period [-20,20] is the (average) consequence of a block-acquisition by a bank. A strong and highly significant result is the positive valuation effect when hedge funds acquire blocks in their targets. Average cumulated abnormal return is 5% in the period [-20,-1]. Corporations as block-acquirer cause also positive CAR¿s (1%). No significant effects are found following the announcement by mutual funds, insurances and individual investors. The work proceeds as follows: In chapter 2 the literature on general corporate governance and especially the literature concerned with the relation between shareholder structure and valuation is reviewed. The data for this study and its legal sources is described in chapter 3 and chapter 4 gives a short descriptive statistic. The main chapter, chapter 5, starts with an explanation why the event-study methodology is especially eligible to answer the question of how blockholding influences valuation. Then the used methodology is described and the results of the empirical work presented. These are put in the context of the respective literature and research. Chapter 6 is a short summary of the most important findings and concludes the work.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich BWL - Allgemeines, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (ICE), Veranstaltung: Communication Economics LMU, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: ¿An auction is a market institution with an explicit set of rules determining resource allocation and prices on the basis of bids from market participants. ¿ (McAfee und McMillan, 1987, S. 701 ) Anfang des Jahres 2000 ( März ) bis hin zum August 2001 hat die Versteigerung der UMTS Auktionen in den Staaten Europas in den Medien stets für Aufsehen Sorge getragen. Bei den Auktionen im Vereinigten Königreich sowie der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, wurden auf den ersten Blick ausserordentlich hohe Ergebnisse erzielt, in anderen Ländern wie Dänemark oder der Schweiz dagegen erstaunlich niedrige, diese Varianz erscheint erklärungsbedürftig. Sicherlich könnte man nun argumentieren, dass die Unterschiede in den erzielten Auktionserlösen geographische und Länderspezifische Ursachen haben, so sind prinzipiell kleine Länder mit hoher Bevölkerungsdichte ein interessanterer Markt als grosse Länder mit geringerer Bevölkerungsdichte. Basierend auf solch einem Erklärungsansatz, und wenn man noch das Kriterium der Lage des Landes, Wettbewerb im Markt und der Kaufkraft seiner Bevölkerung hinzu zieht, müsste, wie es auch Klemperer (2003, S.151) darstellt, das höchste Ergebnis in einem Land wie der Schweiz zu erzielen sein. Tatsächlich weichen die erzielten Ergebnisse erheblich von den Werten ab, die sich auf solche Art und Weise erklären liessen. Gegenstand der folgenden Seminararbeit wird die Analyse der Auktionsergebnisse der europäischen UMTS-Auktionen vor dem Hintergrund der Auktionstheorie sein. Die folgenden Seiten werden zunächst die Grundlagen der Auktionstheorie darstellen und darauf aufbauend die Ergebnisse der UMTS-Auktionen sowie die angewandten Auktionstheorien analysieren. Im weiteren werden noch die Problemfelder der Auktionstheorie sowie bestimmte Auktionstypen im speziellen angesprochen.

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Trade and Distribution, grade: 1,8, Leeds Metropolitan University, course: Strategic Services Management, language: English, abstract: Each business should have one major focus to be able to develop and satisfy the market needs. Obviously this focus is the customer. It does not matter who the customer is defined as he/she has to be defined for each company in a different way. The main thing is that all efforts are addressed to the customer. Every company sells products or services to customers so from a quality assurance point of view it is crucial to develop products in reference to market needs or customer needs respectively. This is the focus for the assignment. A general guideline for an efficient product development process should be created with the overall objective ¿ customer centric product development combined with an improved internal workflow. Anderson et al (2006, p. 1) states that customer value proposition is one of the most widely used terms in business in recent years. So it is important that a company is able to help customers understand the superior value of the products or service offered. Under pressure to keep costs down, customers may only look at the price and so it is important to think about the customer value proposition but also the comparison to the competitors of a specific market environment. This should flow into this assignment as well. Another problem of product development is that in many companies it is rather influenced by opinions of different sales people then by facts and figures. According Annacchino (2007, p. 101) a lot of companies tend to make a mistake at the product definition step, so that the customer is not really involved in the product development process. In reference to the definition of customer-defined needs there are different ways: ¿ A company can use direct customer surveys to solicit feedback and to obtain information in a direct manner. ¿ Another way is a focused group discussion which allows multiple-person input and prompted discussion to generate ideas. ¿ A third possibility is a suggestion system and communication platform for customers and stakeholders.

Master's Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 6.0 , University of Lausanne, 156 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The Swiss electricity market has been facing structural changes in recent years due to market deregulation activities. This development has been accompanied by the emergence of spot markets where electricity is traded between producer and purchaser. Since the price charged to the end-customer turns out to be more exposed to market prices of electricity, the need for derivatives with a risk management purpose arises. A more recent asset class such as structured products may be used as a risk management tool. This paper focuses on the pricing of various structured products with the Swiss energy price indices as an underlying. Since electricity has particular features that result in a peculiar stochastic process, the pricing of electricity derivatives cannot rely on traditional pricing formulas that have been developed for equity or commodity underlyings. Rather, there is a need for a dynamic model that captures the unique characteristics of electricity. In this paper, a new jump diffusion process is proposed and estimated that is able to incorporate the Swiss electricity price properties. Building on this model, a Monte Carlo simulation is applied that allows one to price differing electricity derivatives that are embedded in structured products. Using the option pricing results, the feasibility and attractiveness of a defined range of structured products is investigated. In order to include the special properties of electricity, new structured products are developed that are more appropriate as risk management tools. One of the main contributions of this paper is the practical approach of how to price structured products. Keywords: Electricity, SWEP, Swissix, Structured Products, Monte Carlo, Jum

Master's Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, University of Teesside, language: English, abstract: Corporate culture has gained importance in the business world in the last two decades. The consideration of corporate culture, nevertheless, differs significantly in organisations. Some organisations have taken their corporate culture into account for strategic decisions (e.g. cultural fit during Mergers & Acquisitions) but other organisations have tended to neglect this issue at all. Deal and Kenndy (1999) consider corporate culture as a hidden success factor of organisation which ensures commitment of the employees. According to them (1999), organisations with a ¿strong¿ corporate culture outperform ¿run-of-the-mills companies by a massive margin¿. Corporate culture, nevertheless, has been a controversially discussed topic in the literature on which different general ¿best practices¿ had been suggested by academics. However, it can be argued that the few empirical studies of corporate culture, notably Kotter and Heskett¿s (1992) quantitative survey, have been methodologically limited (Alvesson, 2002), e.g. to few senior managers of the examined organisations. Therefore, this project employs, besides interviews with senior managers of the three examined German organisations, a survey which is focused on employees of different hierarchical and divisional levels in one organisation. The findings of the research clearly show that corporate culture is a far more heterogeneous phenomenon than many academics suggest. In this research, corporate culture appears as a network of interrelating cultural patterns which is unique to different organisations due to different organisational and environmental challenges. The survey also identified that the perceptions of corporate culture differ between senior management and the employees. Therefore, the employees¿ perception of the corporate culture must be taken into account in order to prevent cultural dichotomy. Furthermore, the senior management should implement a sustainable process of monitoring the development of corporate culture. Continuous monitoring enhances the understanding of the organisation and the consequences of managerial actions. Consequently, this can help to raise commitment and efficiency of the workforce.

Essay from the year 2006 in the subject Politics - Political Systems - History, grade: Merit (Gut), King`s College London (Department of War Studies), 15 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Until not long before the events of 1989, political union between the two German states appeared far off. In fact, in early 1989, articles appeared in the International Herald Tribune proposing the German politicians give up the idea of German reunification1. Yet within little more than a year, Germany had acceded to full political union and sovereignty, without allies or neighbours objecting. We will ask ourselves how this seeming contradiction came to happen and what role diplomacy played in making it possible. To do this, we will separate the course of events in two sections, the first one -less formalised- focusing more on the question if reunification would happen, followed by the second -more formalised- focusing on the terms of reunification. In the third part we will face the question what role the shape of consultations, notably the 2+4 (two German states plus four allied powers), played in the successful outcome of German moves towards reunification.

Scientific Essay from the year 2008 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, grade: High Distinction, The University of Adelaide, language: English, abstract: A Corporate rescue Generally speaking, the corporate rescue process and the liquidation procedure form the two basic columns of a modern insolvency regime.(2) Whereas the Australian legislator expressly implemented these two procedures the German legislator codified a uniform insolvency process. An effective corporate rescue procedure is a cornerstone of a prospering economy. Economical value is closely connected to the risk of economic loss. Therefore, economic growth will only be sustainable if investments are supported by safeguards donated by effective insolvency regimes not only focussing on a fast liquidation but also on the reorganisation or rescue of a company. Only the careful balance of creditors¿ rights and the entrepreneurial spirit of the debtors ensure attractiveness for investments.(3) B Comparative approach This essay is focussed on the administrator as point of comparison because his role in the process significantly reflects the principles of the underlying corporate rescue regime. In both countries Australia and Germany the administrator is a relatively influential organ. The essay will show that the role of the German administrator is much more influenced by the court than in Australia. The essay¿s goal is to examine selected issues concerning the Australian and German administrator. After presenting the different roles in the Australian and German corporate rescue process the essay will critically review the role of the administrator in both regimes in order to examine the effectiveness of the process from a comparative point of view. ********* (2) See United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, Legislative Guide on Insolvency Law (2005) 14, recommendation 2.
