...Games in Turin that the objective of Omega is to overtake Rolex, its natural competitor, people were smiling and saying that Rolex is in a different league, up there. But this positioned Omega, inside and outside, totally. — Nick Hayek, CEO, Swatch Group On the afternoon of March 15, 2011, the only day closed for visitors during Baselworld, the major global watch and jewelry trade show held in Basel, Switzerland, Nick Hayek, the CEO of the leading Swiss watch manufacturer Swatch Group, completed a series of informal meetings with his watchmaking counterparts. After all that had been said behind the glamorously showcased watch collections, Hayek lit a cigar to reflect on the discussions’ impact on his watchmaking empire. The late Nicolas G. Hayek (hereafter Hayek Sr.), the charismatic founder of the Swatch Group (and Nick Hayek’s father) who passed away nine months ago, would have applauded the group’s exceptional 2010 results which encouraged the company to set a sales goal of 10 billion Swiss Francs (CHF) within the next four to five years (see Exhibit 1 for the group’s key financials).1 Given how well the Swatch Group had weathered the recent difficult years for the industry, Hayek was not surprised by the 2010 numbers. He attributed this success partly to the group’s vast range of 19 watch brands serving all consumer segments, and to its solid Swiss industrial base which allowed the group to feed the latest technology into its timepieces. The company’s results...

...PART 2 The Global Marketing Environment CHAPTER 2 The Global Economic Environment Case 2-1 The Global Economic Crisis I n his 1997 book One World, Ready or Not, William Greider described the United States as “the buyer of last resort.” Greider explained that, for many years, the United States was the only nation that was willing to absorb production surpluses exported by companies in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Greider asked: “Who will buy the surpluses when the United States cannot?” The conventional wisdom has long held that strong spending by consumers in other nations would keep the world economy humming. However, by 2008, Greider’s question was taking on a new urgency and the conventional wisdom was being tested. An economic crisis that had its roots in lax subprime mortgage lending practices began to spread around the globe. In the United States, where the crisis began, economic misery was widespread: The housing market collapsed, real estate values plummeted, credit tightened, and job growth slowed (see Exhibit 2-1). As the price of oil passed the $100 per barrel benchmark, the average price of a gallon of gasoline rose to $4. American consumers were, indeed, less willing and less able to buy. However, the crisis was not confined to the United States alone. Consumer-goods exporters in Asia, which Exhibit 2-1: The bursting of the global real estate bubble was only one aspect of the worst recession in decades. The ripple effects from the economic...

...Research Topic: Financial Sustainable Development of Higher Education Institutions in Developing Countries I. Introduction Education is an economically and socially productive investment and in the majority of the both industrialised and developing countries, it is funded mainly by the government (Psacharopoulos, 1986). The expansion of education received by individuals depends both on their and governments’ fiscal resources (Barr, N., 2008). In recent years, however, the world financial-economic crises and adverse macroeconomic conditions have reduced most government’s ability to continue expanding quantity of educational institutions, improving quality of education and widening access, all subject to a fiscal constraint. At the same time, the potential contributions of students and their families are limited by the current financial arrangements (Albrecht & Ziderman, 1995). The result is underinvestment in education, particularly in higher education. However, more investment in human capital will lead to higher economic growth rates and that the rates of return on these investments for both government and private individuals would be very profitable (Steyn and Villiers, 2006). Most empirical studies by several researchers, such as Barr, N. (2008); Johnstone, B. & Marcucci, P. (2010); Psacharpoulos, G. & Partinos, H. A. (2004); and Sam, M. (2011) reveal that higher education has expended significantly in the last quarter century in most of the developing countries...

...9-204-109 REV: OCTOBER 23, 2006 MIHIR DESAI Globalizing the Cost of Capital and Capital Budgeting at AES In June 2003, Rob Venerus, director of the newly created Corporate Analysis & Planning group at The AES Corporation, thumbed through the five-inch stack of financial results from subsidiaries and considered the breadth and scale of AES. In the 12 years since it had gone public, AES had become a leading independent supplier of electricity in the world with more than $33 billion in assets stretched across 30 countries and 5 continents. Venerus now faced the daunting task of creating a methodology for calculating costs of capital for valuation and capital budgeting at AES businesses in diverse locations around the world. He would need more than his considerable daily dose of caffeine to point himself in the right direction. Much of AES’s expansion had taken place in developing markets where the unmet demand for energy far exceeded that of more developed countries. By 2000, the majority of AES revenues came from overseas operations; approximately one-third came from South America alone. Once a critical element in its recipe for success, the company’s international exposure hurt AES during the global economic downturn that began in late 2000. A confluence of factors including the devaluation of key South American currencies, adverse changes in energy regulatory environments, and declines in energy commodity prices conspired to weaken cash flow at AES subsidiaries and hinder...

...betting is that the winner will be a Democrat—with a strong chance that a Clinton will again be set to succeed a Bush as leader of the free world. China, meanwhile, will hope to use the Olympics to show the world what a splendid giant it has become. It will win the most gold medals, and bask in national pride and the global limelight. But it will also face awkward questions on its repressive politics. America and China will be prime players in the matters that will concentrate minds around the world in 2008. One of these is the world economy, which can no longer depend on America, with its housing and credit woes, to drive growth. America should—just—avoid recession, but it will be China (for the first time the biggest contributor to global growth) along with India and other emerging markets that will shine. Another focus of attention will be climate change. As China replaces America as the world’s biggest producer of greenhouse gases, serious efforts on global warming depend on the serious involvement of those two countries. If 2007 was the year when this rose to the top of the global agenda, in 2008 people will expect action. It is striking that green is a theme that links all the contributions from political leaders in this volume, whether at the city level (Michael Bloomberg), the national level (Felipe Calderón, Nancy Pelosi, Nicolas Sarkozy) or the supranational level (the UN’s Ban Ki-moon, ASEAN’s Surin Pitsuwan). The politicians have talked the issue up; will they now let...

...ICTR's Akayesu Verdict SYNOPSIS The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) heard Jean-Paul Akayesu accused of vicious gang rapes and genocide that took the lives of 2,000 Tutsis. The trial court chamber of three judges, two men and one woman, had an unprecedented opportunity to clarify whether rape during internal armed conflict constitutes genocide as well as a crime against humanity. Nongovernmental organizations worked to "engender" the Tribunal while holding accountable the Hutu leaders who orchestrated genocide. The critical 1998 verdict influenced states negotiating improved standards for the prosecution of sexual violence and the creation of a permanent International Criminal Court. "Rape and Genocide in Rwanda" addresses current issues of international law, human rights, women in politics, African Studies, judicial procedure, legal and moral reasoning.
