Full textIn the first chapter of the thesis, I study how merger policy affects the choice between in-market and cross-border merging. An insight of the first chapter is that the merger policy should consider subsequent mergers triggered by an initial decision to merge, which here corresponds to the scenario of an exit-by-merger after a failed cross-border merger. In the second chapter of the thesis, I examine the impact of competition between a private firm and public firms on prices and investment in new infrastructures. An insight from this analysis is that due to distinct objective functions, the private firm charges the monopoly price when it is a monopoly, while the national public firm charges a price such that it cross-subsidizes between low-cost and high-cost areas. Local public firms charge prices contingent on the investment cost in their own area. In monopoly, the national public has the largest coverage, whereas the local public firms cover the same areas as the private firm. In mixed duopoly, prices are strategic complements for the private firm and are strategic substitutes for public firms. Competition leads the private firm to set lower prices, while public firms may charge higher prices. In the third chapter of the thesis, I investigate the impact of competition between two firms in prices and information disclosure levels. In a two-sided market, there are consumers on one side, and a monopoly data broker on the other side. An insight from this analysis is that firms adopt two types of business strategies due to a trade-off between the exploitation of consumer information, the level of information provision, and consumer valuations. If consumer valuations are sufficiently low, firms engage in disclosure of consumer information (low-privacy regime) and charge low (even negative) prices. In contrast, if consumer valuations are sufficiently high, firms do not engage in disclosure of consumer information (highprivacy regime) and always charge positive prices. If consumers single-purchase, a merger to monopoly increases market power but is privacy-neutral. With multi-purchasing, a merger to monopoly decreases prices and privacy levels if firms are unable to monetize multi-purchaser information

Full textEsta tesis analiza e identifica cuáles son los factores que facilitan la localización y aglomeración de las industrias creativas a nivel local y las compara con las del resto de actividades económicas. Esta tesis contribuye a la literatura de las industrias creativas a través del análisis de las pautas de localización de estas industrias tanto desde una perspectiva de análisis tradicional a nivel municipal como introduciendo algunas innovaciones en cuanto al uso de la econometría espacial, los métodos basados en la distancia y los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) gracias al acceso a datos micro-geográficos. La aplicación empírica se centra en los municipios catalanes para el periodo 2002-2007, en el Área Metropolitana de Barcelona y, finalmente, en la ciudad de Barcelona entre 2006-2015. A pesar de que los determinantes de localización de las industrias creativas no son tan diferentes de los de las no creativas, los principales resultados confirman la naturaleza específica de estas industrias y su mayor necesidad de aglomeración, especialmente para a las industrias creativas basadas en un conocimiento más simbólico. Además, esta tesis corrobora la asociación positiva entre industrias creativas y crecimiento económico, en términos de creación de empresas y de productividad. Sin embargo, los resultados también sugieren que la capacidad de atraer actividades creativas y empleo en un área está claramente asociada al entorno creativo existente y las dinámicas culturales históricas que definen la personalidad del área. Teniendo en cuenta el gran potencial de las industrias creativas en términos de, por ejemplo, el dinamismo económico, la regeneración urbana o el marketing urbano, los resultados de esta tesis permiten extraer una serie de recomendaciones para las autoridades públicas dispuestas a apoyar la diversificación de la actividad económica a efectos de aumentar su competitividad en un contexto económico y social cada vez más global.
This thesis analyses and identifies which factors facilitate the location and agglomeration of creative industries at the local level and compare them to those of the other economic activities. This thesis contributes to the literature on creative industries by analysing the location behaviour of these industries both from a traditional analysis at municipality level and by introducing some innovations regarding the use of spatial econometrics, distance-based methods and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) thanks to the access to micro-geographic data. The empirical application focuses on Catalan municipalities for the period 2002-2007, on the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona and on the city of Barcelona for the period 2006-2015. Main findings of this thesis show that, despite the fact that creative industries location determinants are not so different from those of non-creative industries, the specific nature of these industries and their greater need for agglomeration is confirmed, especially for symbolic-based creative industries. Moreover, this thesis confirms the positive association between creative industries and economic growth – in terms of firm creation or productivity. Finally, it also suggests that the ability to attract creative activities and employment to an area strongly depends on the existing creative milieu and the cultural path dependence of the area. Based on the assumption that creative industries have great potential in terms of, for example, economic dynamism, urban regeneration or city marketing, results of this thesis allows having a series of recommendations for public authorities willing to support the diversification of economic activity for the purpose of enhancing their competitiveness in an economic and social context increasingly global.

Full textI denna rapport framgår vilken energibesparing som är möjlig i vissa processer hos Ankarsrum Industries. Hypotesen var att sänka företagets energikostnader med 30 %.
Företagets analyserade stödprocesser omfattar tryckluft, belysning och ventilation och lokalkomfort. Tryckluftsproduktionen kostar idag 259 000 kronor om året. Företaget har ett tryckluftsläckage som uppgår till 113 000 kronor. Om läckage tätas och en ny kompressor investeras kan företaget spara 160 000 kronor per år.
Belysningen i företagets lokaler består av flera olika typer av armaturer med varierande kvalitet. Ofta är armaturerna utan reflektor vilket innebär att ljusutbytet inte blir optimalt. Med effektivare armaturer, närvarovakter och sektionering kan företaget spara 108 000 kronor per år.
Det finns omkring tio stycken ventilationsanläggningar med till- och frånluft. På vissa förekommer värmeväxlare. Företaget har även många mindre frånluftsfläktar som punktutsug. Dessa har i nuläget ingen värmeåtervinning. Installation av effektivare värmeväxlare och bättre tidsstyrning av fläktanläggningarna ger en besparing på 639 000 kronor om året.
Ankarsrum Industries har i dagsläget ventilations- och transmissionsförluster i dörrar och fönster till en kostnad av 149 000 kronor per år. Företaget rekommenderas att byta ut portar och fönster i produktionslokalerna till de som är mer energieffektiva.
I nuläget har företaget ett effektabonnemang på 1 900 kW och ett på 20 kW. Ankarsrum Industries rekommenderas att avsluta abonnemanget för svetsarna på 20 kW och ansluta dem till produktionsabonnemanget. Företaget bör även ha som målsättning att sänka det befintliga effektabonnemanget till 1 700 kW. Vidare bör företaget anmäla sig till PFE (Program För Energieffektivisering). Det kan innebära reduktion av energiskatten. Ytterligare information ges på www.stem.se. Med dessa åtgärder kan Ankarsrum Industries minska sina energikostnader för produktionen till 685 600 kronor per år. Detta innebär att företaget kan sänka energikostnaderna med 1 281 300 kronor per år. Således uppfylldes hypotesen.
Utöver de föreslagna åtgärderna i denna rapport kan företaget minska uppvärmningskostnaderna med cirka 1 900 000 kronor per år genom att investera i en ny flispanna och ställa av el- och oljepannorna. Pay-offtiden för denna åtgärd är cirka 1,3 år (Bondesson och Edfeldt 2005).

Full textThis thesis aims at displaying the growing importance of the non material investment, in the case of biotechnologies development. It has particular reference to the investment linked to the scientific and technological knowledge production, in the productive system, as the main factor of access the mastering and the suiting of new-technologies with the concurrential advantages they produce. Biotechnologies are transversal technologies with high scientific content. Their development promotes the emergence of new activities, the "bioindustries", which conceive and produce production goods and services. This greatly explains the strategies of firms concerned with biotechnologies. Moreover, some barriers to entry result from specific bioindustries conditions of production. In this way, the technical and economic capacities of food industries firms may limit their access to this kind of activities

Full textSince the 2000s and the emergence of new players from the communication industries, profound changes have occurred within the music industry. The hypothesis developed in this research suggests that, following a movement of mutual influence between musicians and economic players, there has been a shift in emphasis towards the industrialization of music, which is now concerning the creation itself. The adaptation of the musicians’ socio-economic logics, in line with the industrial strategies of the actors of the digital world, indicates the growing importance of rationalization and ideologization in the music worlds. The methodological approach is based on the analysis of discourses and socio-economic practices of musicians, using semi-structured interviews made in France and the United Kingdom. The results of these analyses highlights the the great disparity of the practices, skills and representations of these ‘connected musicians’, with regard to dissemination and communication activities on the internet. These practices’ disparities outlines the issues relating to the construction of the musician’s contemporary figure

Full textTo contribute to the analysis of the economic results obtained by a policy of input quotas regulation, our industrial economic research concentrate on converting-process enterprises for wich a supply right is under limitation. The thesis being depended here, on the basis of three major arguments will present the statement that the limitation of a production input does not immobilize industry - it does not hold back industrial motion ability but exerts a stronger competition. - it does not bring about a single strategic way of adaptation (diverting activities for instance) but the enterprises are allowed for behaviors of a large diversity. - it does not procedure basic turn-about but drive the enterprises to reinforce their strategic trajectory. From the situation of the western france dairy industry taken as our application sphere, evidence has been pointed out of three strategic trajectories existing by themselves : costs supremacy and mergers - concentrated efforts on a local market and diversionconcentration and differenciation. As a continuity to porter's work, we tried to demonstrate how competition analysis was valued by the segmentation of the offer into strategic groups worked out by means of multidimensional analysis

Full textThis thesis is devoted to the analysis of the main consequences of the end of the cold war in a number of fields related to the economy and the security. Its different parts respectively deal with the evolution of military activities at a world level, perspectives on military technology, the conversion process of arms industries, the economic legacy of the cold war, the french security policy and the consequences of the end of the cold war on markets and prices of strategic commodities. The first part presents the global decrease in military activities and explains why this fall is not correlated with an increase in global security. The second one analyses the end of the previous militaro-technological paradigm, which is related not only to the end of the cold war, but also to the obsolescence of big military platforms due to the micro-electronic revolution. A third part shows the difficulties of the conversion of military industries and presents national reaching to this problem. It is followed by an analysis of the economic consequences of the end of the cold war, which send more to be underestimated. The french defense policy and its recent inflexions are then presented. The last part is devoted to the recent evolution of commodities which were considered during the cold war as <>

The central theme of this dissertation is that the interaction between firm characteristics and market characteristics is crucial to understanding the evolution of market structure, competition, and firm behavior. I integrate ideas from industrial organization and strategic management in an empirical examination of two innovative industries: pharmaceuticals and laser printers. Chapter 1 provides an overview of this work and discusses its broader implications. In Chapter 2, a range of econometric models for a firm's decision to launch a new pharmaceutical product in 21 OECD countries is estimated. The results suggest that the interaction between the innovating firm, drug, and target country is a critical component of profitability, and that regulations may not affect firms and products uniformly. Chapter 3 considers how entry is influenced by the characteristics of incumbent firms and other potential competitors in a subset of pharmaceutical markets. In an extension to previous structural entry papers, this work explores the effect of competing with other firms that might have an asymmetric effect on profits. Chapter 4 examines the roles of market structure, product characteristics, and firm characteristics in explaining patterns of product entry and exit in the desktop laser printer industry. I find that firms with complementary assets are less sensitive to competition from similar products than are firms without these assets. Not only do the products of complementary asset firms survive longer, but such firms are more likely to introduce new products in crowded market segments.
(cont.) Firms without complementary assets tend to introduce new products close to the technological frontier. However, their products exit earlier than those of complementary asset firms. These two types of firms appear to pursue different product market strategies, and the mix of both drives the product life cycle. Understanding entry and exit in these settings may provide insights into the diffusion of other new technologies, because pharmaceuticals and laser printers have a number of features in common with other industries of great interest to managers and policymakers at the moment. Thus the insights from this dissertation may be applicable to broad sectors of the economy.

Full textThe purpose of this research is to assess whether Cash Conversion Cycle differs between industries via their components, namely Days Inventory Outstanding, Days Sales Outstanding and Days Payables Outstanding. Based on a sample of multinational companies from two different industries, Fast Moving Consumer Goods and Airline industry for the period 2009-2012, the results suggest that Cash Conversion Cycle differs between industries. Also it differs between large and smaller companies due to different accounting choices. It contributes to a better understanding about how size of the firm, inventory system, liquidity and payables impact on CCC and consequently on companies’ profitability.

Full textThe Japanese household electronic industry is generally recognized as a world-leader in its field. The same can be said about the Japanese’s audio and video blank tape market. On the other hand, almost nothing is known about the programs industry. Thus the audiovisual field contains both its programming factor and its economic structure. Both artistic conception and industrial reproduction form an integral part of the production process. By analyzing the major audiovisual mediums' (radio television, records, motion picture) history and changes, the main objective is to determine the true economic and artistic stakes of the industry in the wake of the twenty first century
