Sommario/riassunto |
|
People's fundamental values can be conceived of as conceptions of what is desirable. They influence their selection from available modes, means and ends of action. Because of the societal importance of values they deserve scholarly attention. This volume inquires into the values present-day Europeans cherish by empirically analyzing the data of 2008/2010 wave of the European Values Study and explaining the consensus and contrasts in value orientations found. The contributors to this volume try to capture the diversities and similarities in value orientations between contemporary European countries in a range of life-spheres by unravelling context and composition effects. They are in search of evidence that either country level factors such as institutional arrangements or the composition of the populations of countries in terms of gender, age, socio-economic status, religion etcetera have the greatest impact. By doing so they paint the moral landscapes of Europe today. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Sebastian Burchhardt develops a game theory model that analyzes the possible behavioral patterns of employees during M&A processes and the impact of such patterns on the success of the transaction itself. The result is the development of a principal-multi-agent model that allows for endogenous contest entry driven by identity. In addition, the model proposes guidance for practical M&A management. Contents Identity and Competition in an Organizational Context The Social Identity Approach in Corporate Mergers and Acquisitions Identity-Driven Contest with Endogenous Entry Identity-Driven Group Contest with Endogenous Entry Implications of the Basic Model Implications of the Extended Model for M&A Target Groups Researchers and students in the fields of mergers & acquisitions, microeconomics and organization theory Practitioners in these areas The Author Dr. Sebastian Burchhardt completed his doctoral studies under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Peter-J. Jost at the Chair of Organization Theory at WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management in Vallendar. |
