2.1.4 关系投资者与公司绩效 种种证据表明，关系投资者对于改善公司绩效有积极的影响。 美国上市公司缺乏长期持有大量公司股票并积极监督公司绩效的关系投资者，原因有二：一，所有权和控制权分离是美国公司治理体系的基础(Berle and Means 1932; Jensen and Meckling 1976)；二，美国的政治决策是让股东在激烈竞争的市场上保持弱小和被动，而不是依靠有效的持股模式生存(Black 1990; Roe 1994)。 关系投资者的优势在于： 1、大股东监督能够减少信息不对称导致的管理者和股东的短视行为(Jacobs 1991; Porter 1992)。短视投资者可能将短期收益作为反映公司前景的最佳信号，管理者也可能为了迎合短视股东或赚取更多奖金而过分强调短期结果(Shleifer and Vishny 1990; Stein 1989 1996)。而且管理者如果相信股东会用更高的短期股票价格来激励他们(Bebchuk and Stole 1993)，则可能投资于差的长期项目。 2、关系投资人能作为市场对公司监管的替代和补充。在80年代恶意收购是监控管理者的有效手段(Jensen

Looking for the music in John Cage’s “4.33” John Milton Cage born in 1915 is one of the best known experimental composers of our time. Cage began to create music that broke the boundaries of form and structure. He had a strong belief that every sound should be considered as a form of music. By combining his theories of invention with his compositional techniques he led music into the modern world. Many music critics have suggested that Cage was more of an inventor rather than a composer. Speaking

Part 1 Principle of Barrett: Doubling micro-processor performance every 18 months while at the same time making it progressively cheaper. Problems that Intel had (because of the September 11): - product delays - shortages (escassez) - recalls (devoluções) - overpricing (preços excessivos) - bugs in the systems (erros no Sistema) - advanced Micro Devices (competitor) had produced its Athlon processor chip (faster than Intel’s Pentium III chip) With these problems, analysts predict that Intel’s
