IE Luxury Barometer 2016
No full textThe IE Premium and Prestige Observatory started in 2010 with the goal of generating and sharing knowledge about the premium market and industry worldwide. With the support of MasterCard we have done research on the impact of the digital revolution on luxury clients’ behaviour and the pace at which the industry is adapting, as well as focusing on the behaviour of the Millennials generation and the differences compared to baby boomers. We have explored the meaning of memorable experiences and their key drivers. The Observatory has also supported premium and luxury entrepreneurship and has given visibility to sustainable luxury entrepreneurs. With the IE Luxury Barometer, the Observatory has created a tool to build applied knowledge about the sector and to provide support for action. This “from experts to experts” research is based on the insight of industry executives, academics, investors, and observers. Thanks go to the panel of experts, who have generously shared their insights into the key themes that shape the priorities of the luxury industry by answering our questionnaire and also participating in the face-to-face debate. I would like to thank the individuals who helped make the IE Luxury Barometer 2016 possible. Thanks to my co-author David Millán for his rigorous work and expertise. Thank you, Luca Solca and Carlos Delso for joining us for the presentation of this paper and sharing your learnings and experience. We envision “IE Luxury Barometer” as a tool, valuable in generating knowledge for the premium and prestige industries. This third edition was about completing a full circle of identifying priorities for luxury experts and executives

Una investigación empírica acerca de la racionalidad e intuición en los procesos de toma de decisiones estratégicas en Colombia
No full textEsta tesis doctoral presenta una investigación empírica de cuatro factores contextuales identificados en el corpus de conocimiento actual como predictores de racionalidad e intuición en procesos de toma de decisiones estratégicas: las características ambientales externas, las características estratégicas propias de la decisión, las características internas de la compañía y las características específicas del decisor. A efectos de este análisis, se han utilizado datos de 51 decisiones estratégicas de idéntico número de compañías privadas de Colombia, en Sudamérica. Los resultados que se presentan en este documento refuerzan las conclusiones de las investigaciones previas en lo que respecta a la Incertidumbre Ambiental, una variable que pertenece a la dimensión de las características externas del entorno, y la Incertidumbre de la Decisión, que corresponde a la dimensión de las características propias de la decisión estratégica, como predictores del uso de la Intuición Experiencial en los procesos de toma de decisiones. Este estudio también encontró pruebas de que el Tamaño de la Compañía, una variable que pertenece a la dimensión de las características internas de la compañía, es un predictor significativo del uso de la Racionalidad Procedimental en estos procesos. Se presenta un examen empírico del efecto de mediación de la Incertidumbre de la Decisión en la relación entre Incertidumbre Ambiental y los procesos de toma de decisiones estratégicas, Racionalidad Procedimental e Intuición Experiencial. Esta indagación apoya las formulaciones teóricas en torno a esta relación compleja, además de considerar la asociación de la Incertidumbre Ambiental como un antecedente de la Incertidumbre de la Decisión. Por último, el presente estudio contribuye a la comprensión del papel del estilo de pensamiento de un decisor como predictor de las conductas intuitivas observadas en el proceso de la toma de decisiones estratégicas. La última parte de este documento presenta un resumen de los principales hallazgos, así como contribuciones a la teoría existente. También incluye varias limitaciones de este estudio y vías para futuras investigaciones. En atención a la naturaleza de este estudio, a los participantes en la investigación y a las motivaciones del autor para acometer este proyecto, este documento presenta un conjunto detallado de implicaciones prácticas derivadas de los hallazgos para directivos y gerentes.This doctoral thesis presents an empirical investigation of four contextual factors identified in the available body of knowledge as predictors of rationality and intuition in strategic decision-making processes: External environmental characteristics, Strategic decision-specific characteristics, Internal firm characteristics, and Decision-maker specific characteristics. Data from 51 strategic decisions, from an equal number of privately-owned companies in Colombia, South America, served for this analysis. Results presented in this document support findings from previous research regarding the significance of Environmental Uncertainty, a variable from the dimension of external environmental characteristics, and Decision Uncertainty, a variable from the dimension of strategic decision-specific characteristics, as predictors of the use of Experiential Intuition in decision-making processes. This study also found evidence supporting that Firm Size, a variable in the dimension of internal firm characteristics, is a significant predictor of Procedural Rationality in these processes. An empirical examination of the mediation effect of Decision Uncertainty in the relationship between Environmental Uncertainty and strategic decision-making processes, Procedural Rationality and Experiential Intuition, is presented. This exploration yields support to theoretical formulations around this complex relationship, and regarding the association of Environmental Uncertainty as an antecedent of Decision Uncertainty. Finally, this study contributes to the understanding of the role of the thinking style of a decision-maker as a predictor of intuitive behaviors observed in the process of making strategic decisions. The final part of this document summarizes the main findings and contributions to theory, as well as several limitations of this investigation and paths for future research. In attention to the nature of this study, the characteristics of participants in this exploration, and the motivations of the author to pursue this endeavor, the document presents a detailed body of practical implications for managers and practitioners.Deeds, David L.

Can the EU Digital Markets Act achieve its goals?
No full textOver the past few years, EU and national regulators accelerated their plans to regulate digital platforms. The EU is not alone in this quest, as many other jurisdictions around the world are considering various options for regulatory intervention in digital markets. Rather than being an ‘outlier’ on this issue, Europe has a chance to set new standards in this domain, which other countries may end up emulating. In this context, the proposed EU Digital Markets Act (DMA) represents a major endeavour to tackle the concentration of economic power in the hands of large-scale Tech companies. One of its most significant features is that it marks a transition from the traditional application of ex post antitrust rules, towards an entirely new ex ante regulatory scrutiny, aimed at systematically preventing possible abuses by those platforms that can be defined as gatekeepers of entire digital ecosystems. This paper explores the pros and cons of this shift, and discusses whether the proposed enforcement of the DMA, concentrated in the hands of the European Commission, is likely to prove sufficiently effective. The author assesses whether the DMA, together with other legislative proposals presented by the European Commission over the past few months (Data Governance Act, Data Act, Digital Services Act, Artificial Intelligence Act, etc.) will pave the way for a more economically and socially sustainable digital ecosystem in the years to come.Digital Markets ActEuropean UnionPoliticsDigital economySustainabilityDigital Services ActData Governance ActDigital marketsLey de Mercados DigitalesUnión EuropeaPolíticaEconomía digitalSostenibilidadLey de Servicios DigitalesLey de Inteligencia ArtificialLey de Gobierno de DatosLey de datosMercados digitale
Halogen and chalcogen bonds : activation and applications in crystal engineering
No full textCette thèse s’intéresse au développement de nouveaux matériaux moléculaires en tentant de contrôler leurs organisations à l’état solide. La première partie de ce travail s’intéresse à l’utilisation d’un cluster de bore (l’ortho-carborane, abrégé ortho-Cb) comme groupe activateur des σ-hole des halogènes et chalcogènes. À cette fin, nous avons conçu et synthétisé des dérivés chalcogénés de ce cluster (l’ortho-Cb(SeMe)2 et l’ortho-Cb(TeMe)2). Ces derniers ont pu être co-cristallisés pour former des chaînes supramoléculaires, auto-assemblées avec une variété de cations ammoniums en exhibant de très courtes liaisons chalcogène (20 % plus courte que la distance de contact). Ces dérivés de l’ortho-Cb ont également pu être co-cristallisés avec différentes bases de Lewis ditopiques neutres. Ces dernières structures présentent des liaisons chalcogène toute aussi fortes et directionnelles. Dans une seconde partie, nous avons conçu et synthétisé quatre nouveaux donneurs d’électron dérivé des tétrathiafulvalènes (TTF). Nous nous sommes particulièrement focalisés sur la liaison chalcogène pour essayer de contrôler l’organisation cristalline. Ainsi, chacun de ces nouveaux donneurs porte deux groupes −SeMe. L’électro-cristallisation de ces nouveaux donneurs, avec des sels d’halogénure, oxyde les TTF (ce qui active les σ-hole des atomes de sélénium) pour obtenir un ensemble de structure ionique 1:1. Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons mis en œuvre la liaison chalcogène dans des complexes donneur-accepteur (DA) à transfert de charge entre des TTF séléniés (D) et des accepteurs (A) comme TCNQFn (n = 0,1,2). Ceci nous a permis d’isoler deux polymorphes de [EDT-TTF(SeMe)2][F2TCNQ] dont l’un présente un comportement quasi métallique à haute température. Enfin, nous avons obtenu une phase [ortho-Me2TTF(SeMe)2][TCNQ] qui semble être un très bon candidat pour investiguer une transition neutre-ionique.This thesis focuses on the development of new molecular materials by attempting to control their solid state organizations. The first part of this work focuses on the use of a boron cluster (ortho-carborane, aka ortho-Cb) as a sigma-hole activating group of halogens and chalcogens. To this end, we designed and synthesized chalcogen derivatives of this cluster (ortho-Cb(SeMe)2 and ortho-Cb(TeMe)2). The latter could be co-crystallized to form supramolecular chains, self-assembled with a variety of ammonium cations and show some very short chalcogen bonds (20% shorter than the contact distance). These ortho-Cb derivatives could also be co-crystallized with various neutral ditopic Lewis bases. The latter structures show equally strong and directional chalcogen bonds. In a second part, we have designed and synthesized four new electron donors derived from tetrathiafulvalenes (TTF). We particularly focused on the chalcogen bond to try to control the crystal organization. Thus, each of these new donors carries two -SeMe groups. Electro-crystallization of these new donors, with halide salts, oxidizes the TTFs (thus activating the sigma-holes of the selenium atoms) to obtain a 1:1 ionic structure set. In a second step, we implemented chalcogen bonding in charge-transfer donor-acceptor (DA) complexes between selenated TTFs (D) and acceptors (A) like TCNQFn (n = 0,1,2). This allowed us to isolate two polymorphs of [EDT-TTF(SeMe)2][F2TCNQ], one of which exhibits a quasi-metallic behavior at high temperature. Finally, we obtained an [ortho-Me2TTF(SeMe)2][TCNQ] phase which seems to be a very good candidate to investigate a neutral-ionic transition
Interactions sigma-trou dans les stratégies d'ingénierie des cristaux
No full textLa science qui se passe dans le domaine de l'ingénierie cristalline a changé nos perspectives sur la façon dont nous regardons une molécule aujourd'hui car elle nous permet de contrôler la façon dont les molécules interagissent les unes avec les autres pour générer des propriétés physiques ou chimiques qui n'existent pas sous leur forme isolée. Par conséquent, la compréhension des interactions intermoléculaires est essentielle pour créer des solides cristallins aux propriétés nouvelles. Les interactions sigma-trous, en particulier l'interaction de liaison chalcogène récemment reconnue, présentent un intérêt significatif pour la communauté de l'ingénierie des cristaux car elles sont explorées comme un autre excellent outil de structuration. Cependant, bien qu'il soit connu depuis des décennies, le potentiel de ChB dans la chimie à l'état solide a été principalement réalisé grâce à des approches fortuites contrairement à son interaction parente, c'est-à-dire la liaison halogène. Le manque de prévisibilité et la chimie de synthèse sous-développée des chalcogènes limitent l'utilisation de ChB dans une perspective large et en particulier dans le domaine de l'ingénierie des cristaux. Ce travail de thèse est une contribution dans cette direction qui s'étend des études fondamentales sur la compréhension des liaisons chalcogènes à une démonstration systématique du potentiel des liaisons chalcogènes pour une gamme d'applications en génie cristallin. Dans ce contexte, les liaisons chalcogènes ont été étudiées pour le contrôle de la directionnalité et son utilisation comme outil de structuration efficace dans l'ingénierie des cadres supramoléculaires. Nous avons également exploré cette interaction, pour la toute première fois, vers des réactions à l'état solide où les liaisons chalcogènes directionnelles alignaient les réactifs en configuration réactive pour subir une réaction à l'état solide.The science happening in the field of crystal engineering has changed our perspectives of how we look at a molecule today as it allows us to control how molecules interact with each other to generate physical or chemical properties that don’t exist in their isolated form. Therefore, understanding of intermolecular interactions is essential to create crystalline solids with novel properties. sigma-holes interactions, particularly recently recognized chalcogen bonding interaction, is of significant interest to the crystal engineering community as it is being explored as yet another excellent structuring tool. However, despite known for decades, potential of ChB in the solid-state chemistry has been mostly realized through serendipitous approaches unlike its parent interaction i.e. halogen bond. Lack of predictability and underdeveloped synthetic chemistry of chalcogens limit the use of ChB in a broad perspective and especially in the field of crystal engineering. This thesis work is a contribution in this direction that extends from fundamental studies on understanding the chalcogen bonds to a systematic demonstration of potential of chalcogen bonds for a range of applications in crystal engineering. In this context, chalcogen bonds have been investigated towards directionality control and its use as an efficient structuring tool in engineering supramolecular frameworks. We also explored this interaction, for the very first time, towards solid-state reactions where directional chalcogen bonds aligned the reactants in reactive configuration to undergo solid-state reaction
Corporate Law and Governance Pluralism
No full textFor the past several decades,jurists have invested significant efforts in developing the law in general - and private law in particular - in terms of pluralism. However,the conceptualization of corporate law and governance according to pluralist principles rarely exists. This Essay is the first in the legal literature to address this deficiency by providing a unique pluralist theory of corporate governance regimes. It distinguishes between the plurality of corporate law's sources,values,and principles,and discusses the implications for governance. Moreover,based on the social systems' thinking and the framework of complexity,this Essay provides theoretical grounds for skepticism about any policies or structures applicable to all times and contexts. Therefore,rather than perceiving corporate governance as being identically applicable to all corporations,the law must meet the challenge of complexity by designing governance arrangements following a firm-specific perspective. Furthermore,I argue that in conditions of complexity,corporate governance eco-systems should be designed with a firm-specific view that incorporates the effect of the corporation participants' heterogeneity,the heterogeneity of its internal power relations,and the heterogeneity of industries and markets. These novel arguments have profound implications for redesigning fundamental legal doctrines - such as fiduciary duties of controlling shareholders,regulation of related party transactions,the officers' duty of care,and the company purpose. © 2022 The Author(s).I wrote this paper while I was a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies on the Foundations of Law and Finance, Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main (April-June 2021).

Organization of Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs) by coordination chemistry : toward a new generation of magnetic and photomagnetic materials
No full textDepuis leur découverte dans les années 90, les molécules-aimants constituent une classe de matériaux magnétiques qui a attiré l'attention du fait de leur bistabilité magnétique. Ces systèmes donnent l’espoir formidable de pouvoir stocker un bit d’information à l’échelle moléculaire. Ainsi, leur organisation dans des réseaux est devenue un enjeu essentiel en vue de leur intégration dans des dispositifs. Lors de cette thèse, l’organisation contrôlée de ces molécules par chimie de coordination en utilisant différents connecteurs s’est révélée être une stratégie de choix. Le chapitre I présente une approche théorique de ce projet de recherche. Dans ce chapitre, les propriétés de molécules-aimants, chaînes-aimants, conversion de spin et transfert d'électron sont décrits et discutés. Le chapitre II contient la bibliographie pertinente sur les réseaux de coordination à base de molécules-aimants et les systèmes photoactifs bimétalliques conténant des groupements cyanures. Le chapitre III présente l'organisation de molécules aimants[Mn4] en réseaux 1D et 2D par des liens diamagnétiques (ions chlorures) ou des liens paramagnétiques contenant des ions métalliques (NiII, MnII et CuII). Les études physiques (cristallographie par rayons X, mesuresmagnétiques et de chaleurs spécifiques) et des analyses théoriques sur ces nouveaux réseaux ont montré des propriétés magnétiques améliorées par rapport à la molécule-aimant [Mn4] isolée. Dans le chapitre IV, nous avonspréparé de nouveaux connecteurs commutables pour in fine concevoir des réseaux de molécules-aimants photomagnétiques. Une approche « building-block » a été utilisée pour obtenir un composé binucléaire de Fe et Co.Des études spectroscopiques, électrochimiques et magnétiques ont été effectuées et ont révélé sans ambiguïté une conversion de spin thermo-induite à l'état solide, et un transfert d'électron intramoléculaire assisté par protonation contrôlée en solution, accompagnés de changements optiques et magnétiques. Pour la première fois, ce nouveaucomplexe montre deux processus de commutation distincts selon son état physique et le stimulus externe utilisé.The beginning of the 1990’s marked the discovery of Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs), which created the hope tostore information on a single molecule due to their magnetic bistability. However, it is becoming of strategicimportance to dedicate a part of our research to their organization in order to achieve devices for the potentialapplication. During this thesis work, our strategy was to exploit coordination chemistry to organize these moleculesin a controlled way by using different types of linkers.Chapter I covers theoretical backgrounds for this research project. In this chapter, Single-Molecule Magnets(SMMs), Single-Chain Magnets (SCMs), Spin Crossover (SC) and Electron Transfer (ET) systems are described anddiscussed. Chapter II contains relevant literature on SMM-based coordination networks and photoactive cyanidobasedbimetallic systems. Chapter III presents the organization of [Mn4] SMMs in 1D and 2D networks withdiamagnetic linkers (chlorido ions) or paramagnetic linkers containing NiII, MnII, and CuII ions. The extensivephysical studies (X-ray crystallography, magnetic and heat capacity measurements, and theoretical analysis) on thesenetworks demonstrated new magnetic behavior and enhanced energy barrier compared to the isolated [Mn4] SMMs.In Chapter IV, we prepared new switchable linkers based on the cyanido-bridged Fe/Co unit, to realizephotomagnetic networks of SMMs. A rational building-block approach has been used to design these dinuclearFe/Co complexes. Extensive spectroscopic, electrochemical and magnetic characterizations have been performed tounambiguously reveal in one of the synthesized complexes the presence of a spin crossover induced by temperaturein the solid-state, and an intramolecular electron transfer assisted by controlled protonation in solution, bothaccompanied by optical and magnetic changes. For the first time, this new complex shows two distinct switchingprocesses depending on its physical state and external stimuli
My History or Our History? Historical Revisionism and Entitlement to Lead
No full textOngoing,spirited debates from around the globe over statues,street names,symbols,and textbooks call for a greater understanding of the political effects of different historical representations. In this paper,we theorize that inclusive (exclusive) historical representations can increase (decrease) marginalized group members' perceived centrality to the nation,entitlement to speak on its behalf,and likelihood of becoming leaders. In an online experiment in India (),we randomly assign participants exercises sourced from official state textbooks containing either an exclusive,inclusive,or a neutral representation of history. We subsequently assess the supply of and demand for Muslim leadership using both an original,incentivized game and additional survey and behavioral measures. We find that inclusive historical narratives increase Muslim participants' perceived centrality and entitlement,desire to lead,and demand for real-world Muslim leaders. Battles over history can carry consequences for the leadership ambitions of marginalized individuals,for themselves and their communities. © The Author(s),2023.
