WRSX 2 WRSX Global Advertising Company History / 1 Introduction: WRSX (Waldron Roux Silberstein Xao) was founded 15 years ago with the merger of three agencies: a long-established London-based advertising agency, WWMV and new partner agencies in New York (Silberstein & Lord) and Paris (Roux Toussaint Berthe). The London agency: Westcott Waldron Morrissey Vickers (WWMV) was one of the new-wave creative London agencies of the late 1970’s but as three of the original founding partners Westcott, Morrissey and Vickers cashed-out, the last remaining founding partner, Juliette Waldron, saw the opportunity to take advantage of global opportunities and grow the agency network by merging with the New York agency Silberstein & Lord and the Paris agency Roux, Toussaint, Berthe. The New York agency: Silberstein & Lord is on Madison Avenue and Lloyd Silberstein is both president and creative director. He was described in Ad Age as “one of those old-style advertising mavens who would go onto the ledge of his 50th floor office to fight for a creative idea”. The agency dates back to the 1980’s when it established its reputation as a highly creative boutique and attracted some of the top Fortune 500 companies as...

...number of different types of criteria’s available that make up a global city. These aspects are used in different types of ways to examine whether a city can be considered, identified or revealed as being a global destination. In regards to this, Frieddman (1986) states that global cities are significant destinations that have specific characteristics or functions in terms of economics, political, cultural and connectivity in the global economic system. Global cities, which can also be referred to as Alpha cities or World cities, play a significant role in regards to the country’s economic status. They have become well known as the centre of the world’s global economy. Global cities have become popular and recognised for the processes of finance and economic trade. When looking for ways to define the term ‘global cities’, it is vital that one takes a look at and studies the economy of the host country. This is due to the fact that global cities have great impact on politics. They are able to not only influence the host country but other many other regions across...

...Case Study for Yohji Yamamoto After Recession, How Yohji Yamamoto Protect His Business? Compare with Comme des Garcons. University for the Creative Art Directed by Mo Tomaney Written by Yu-Han, Lin (Monica) Date: 19th January 2012 MA Fashion Management and Marketing Introduction Yohji Yamamoto is a Japanese poet, a philosopher of Eastern aesthetics, and as known, he is a fashion designer. When people talk about Yohji Yamamoto, it seems impossible to discuss his early work without referencing Rei Kawakubo. Both of them were born in the war era, obviously, it can be told from their collections that the later stage of the Second World War left some significant influences. Their concept of fashion and design are similar, and also the way they express their concerning about societal and global issues are usually positive. A functional elegance and sobriety is their philosophy. As people know, black is the essential colour they always apply in their every seasonal collection. As Yamamoto explained, “Black is modest and arrogant at the same time…It means that many things go together, yet it takes different aspects in many fabrics…But above all black says…don’t bother me!” (2000 cited in English, 2011: 46) Besides, their attitude about choosing fabrics and respect for the wholeness of the body are similarly severe and carefully. The aesthetic they present is considered very ideological. For example, bias-cutting, irregularly overlapping design, applying washed fabrics and dark...

...Chapter 14 Global banking Transnational Corporation (TNC) or Multinational Corporation (MNC) - It is a corporation which maintains its headquarters in one country but performs production, marketing, finance, and personal functions within many other countries. - The owners of such corporations are the highly industrialized countries of the world like United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, and Japan. Transnational Banks - International finance institutions which do their business in many countries of the world. - These are special types of transnational corporations whose field of specialization is global banking or international finance. - Their customer are primarily the transnational corporations, governments (mostly developing countries), and rich individuals. Development of Global Banking - Colonial empires, mostly European countries like Great Britain, France, and Spain, established the branches or offices of their financial institutions in their colonies in order to facilitate trade. For instance, during the British colonial empire, banks were put up in their colonies to conduct foreign exchange operations and to supply short-term funds to both exporters and importers. And as trade expanded, banks grew in number. In fact, the British banking system even reached the shores of our country during the Spanish time. - Since England is the cradle of the Industrial Revolution, it started the factory system of production.

...BNP (Banque Nationale de Paris) On March 7, 1848 by the French Provisional Government founded the Comptoir national d'escompte de Paris (CEP) in response to the financial shock caused by the revolution of February 1848. The upheaval destroyed the old credit system, which was already struggling to provide sufficient capital to meet the demands of the railway boom and the resulting growth of industry. The CEP grew steadily in France and overseas, although in 1889 there was a crisis in which it was temporarily placed in receivership. Separately on April 18, 1932 the French Government replaced Banque nationale de crédit (BNC) which failed as a result of the 1930s recession with the new bank Banque nationale pour le commerce et l'industrie (BNCI). The former banks headquarter and staff were used to create BNCI with fresh capital of 100 millions francs. The bank initially grew rapidly through absorbing a number a regional banks that got into financial trouble. After the Second World War it continued to grow steadily. It grew its retail business in France and its commercial business overseas in the French colonial empire. After the end of the Second World War, the French State decided to "put banks and credit to work for national reconstruction". René Pleven, then Minister of Finance, launched a massive reorganization of the banking industry. A law passed on 2 December 1945 and which went into effect on the 1 January 1946 Nationalized the four leading French retail banks: Banque nationale...

...only flaw that came with engaging in such a numerous amount of wars in a short period of time was that they were not cost effective in the short term. The treasury's pockets were pinched by the Napoleon’s important project of rebuilding and restoring Paris. Even more debt was amassed by furthering France’s railways and through the modernization banking. These expenditures were very profitable for France in the long run, but coupled with costly foreign ventures and exploits, the public opinion had begun to sway on Napoleon III. Seeing the twilight dawn upon him, Napoleon searched for a way to regain popularity and strengthen his rule over France. In December 1861, Napoleon, against the wishes of his advisors, issued a decree that the legislature would be granted more power. This ushered in an era of liberal reform in France. This is not to say every part of the government was shifted liberally during this era, much to the contrary, as Roger Price writes, most repressive legislation remained intact during this time. “Repression came against the press, even amidst the concessions granted to public meetings and freedom of the press. These were concessions Napoleon III gave up begrudgingly”1. Realizing his folly with finances up to this point, he permitted parliament more control over the budget. Through this reform parliament would be granted the extension needed to move into other sectors of the government. In this...

...Conference, COP 21 or CMP 11 was held in Paris, France, from 30 November to 12 December 2015. It was the 21st yearly session of the Conference of the Parties to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 11th session of the Meeting of the Parties to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The conference reached its objective, to for the first time achieve a global agreement on reduction of greenhouse emission in the Paris Agreement, which was adopted with acclamation by nearly all states. The agreement will become legally binding if at least 55 countries that represent at least 55 percent of global greenhouse emissions become a party to it through signature followed by ratification, acceptance, approval or through accession in New York between 22 April 2016 to 21 April 2017. It is expected to take effect in 2020. According to the organizing committee, the expected key result was to limit the global warming, by 2100, compared to pre-industrial to below 2 degrees Celsius. The goal to limit temperature increase with 2 degrees was however supplemented in the adopted version of the Paris Agreement, with the statement that parties "pursue to" limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. A 1.5°C goal will require a zero level in emissions sometimes between 2030 and 2050 according to some scientists. However, no detailed time plan or country-specific goals for emissions were stated in the final version of the Paris Agreement - as opposed to the previous...
