This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'objet de ce travail de recherche est d'identifier et d'analyser les déterminants de la performance des fonds de capital risque et la stratégie d'investissement de leur société de gestion dans le cas français.L'étude sur les déterminants de la performance des fonds de capital risque est basée sur 163 fonds français, créés entre la période du 1997-2004, selon une approche encore peu répandue, la méthode multiniveaux. La sous-performance moyenne des fonds de capital risque français par rapport aux fonds américains est accompagnée d'une importante hétérogénéité parmi les fonds. Le rendement est notamment lié à la taille et surtout à l'effet de la société de gestion, aux choix stratégiques d'investissement. Les résultats empiriques ont mis en évidence que toutes les performances des fonds du capital risque ne sont pas seulement dues à la chance, et que l'investisseur a raison de chercher à choisir le meilleur gestionnaire. A noter que c'est la spécialisation selon les secteurs non pas selon les stades d'investissement influence positivement la performance. Ni le fait d'inciter les gérants à co-investir dans les fonds, ni le statut de propriété de la société de gestion n'ont d'impact sur la performance des fonds.Ce travail de recherche apporte également des éléments de compréhension sur la stratégie d'investissement des sociétés de gestion. Les résultats empiriques de l'étude de 163 sociétés de gestion montrent que celles expérimentées et de grande taille accordent une plus grande importance à leur stratégie de diversification. Plus l'aversion au risque est importante, plus la société de gestion cherche à diversifier son portefeuille en augmentant le nombre des entreprises à financer ou en poursuivant la diversification à travers des secteurs ou des stades d'intervention. Il semble que les sociétés de gestion filiales des banques préfèrent répartir leurs investissements à travers de différents secteurs que d'autres catégories des sociétés de gestion. En étudiant 1789 tours de financement du capital risque français, notre recherche montre que la syndication des opérations de capital risque en France se situe à un niveau important par rapport à d'autres pays. Les impératifs financiers demeurent toujours une justification principale de la syndication. Le montant du tour de financement a un impact positif sur la probabilité de syndication. La pratique de la syndication est plus fréquente dans certains secteurs. Le recours à un co-financement syndiqué n'est pas clairement plus fréquent pour les entreprises financées plus jeunes, c'est même plutôt l'inverse. Les SCR les plus jeunes (et donc les moins expérimentées) sont celles qui recourent le plus souvent à la syndication. Nous ne trouvons pas aucun lien entre la structure des sociétés de capital risque et propension à la syndication. Les syndications ne dégagent pas de gains d'efficacité opérationnelle. L'impact social de la syndication n'est pas mis en évidence dans le court terme puisque l'emploi salarié n'augmente pas dans les entreprises financées par une syndication.

Book excerpt: L'objet de cette recherche est d'identifier et analyser les facteurs déterminants de l'évolution du capital-investissement dans l'Europe de l'Est. De plus, notre travail compare les déterminants de LBO, respectivement de l'activité de VC dans les pays d'Europe de l'Est. Le modèle empirique comprend de nombreux déterminants déjà testés dans des études précédentes ainsi que de nouvelles variables telles que la productivité et l'indice de corruption, que nous considérons comme des facteurs importants pour expliquer l'évolution des investissements en capital-investissement en Europe de l'Est. Nos résultats confirment les hypothèses existantes concernant l'importance de certains déterminants sur l'évolution des investissements en capital-investissement en Europe de l'Est. Cependant, dans le contexte de la dernière crise, de nouveaux facteurs sont apparus comme importants pour le marché du capital investissement en Europe, tels que la productivité ou la corruption. La dernière partie de cette recherche montrent que les sociétés de capital-investissement en Europe de l'Est préfèrent les sorties à travers des fusions et acquisitions, suivies des introductions en bourse. De plus, nous validons une relation d'équilibre à long terme entre les investissements en capital-investissement, les introductions en bourse et les fusions et acquisitions. Le test de causalité de Granger montre l'existence d'une causalité unidirectionnelle du nombre de fusions et acquisitions par rapport au volume des investissements en capital-investissement en Europe de l'Est.

Download or read book Venture Capital Performance written by KEITH. ARUNDALE and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European venture capital (VC) funds have historically underperformed their US counterparts. This has resulted in reduced investment into European VC by the traditional institutional investors. This book investigates the factors that give rise to the performance difference. It is based on the author's research at the Adam Smith Business School, University of Glasgow which involved a qualitative study of some 64 VC firms in the UK, continental Europe and the US, supplemented by 40 interviews with other stakeholders, including limited partner investors, corporate venturers, entrepreneurs and advisors. Readers will gain an in-depth understanding of the various structural, operational and wider environmental factors that impact on the performance difference between UK/European and US VC funds. The study is unique in that it provides, for the first time, a holistic and extensive analysis of the entire investment process from sourcing deals to exiting deals specifically contrasting Europe and the US in terms of the variables pertaining to the investment process and the impact on the fund performance. Factors impacting on the performance differential are structural, resulting from characteristics of the funds themselves, operational such as the investment practices of the VC firms which manage the funds and environmental such as culture and attitude to risk and the wider ecosystem in which the funds operate. These factors are set out clearly for the reader. The characteristics of the better performing funds in Europe and the US are also investigated. The book is aimed at academics who are researching venture capital fund performance and investment practices and also at practitioners, advisors and policymakers who want to learn about best VC investment practices. Whilst the book is focused on European and US VC investing, the best practices are also pertinent for VC firms and funds setting up in other geographies, particularly in emerging markets. To this end, best practice guidelines based on the research are included.

Download or read book Venture Capital Investment written by Gavin Reid and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gavin Reid presents a systematic analysis of what drives investor-investee relations in venture capital markets. In the first analytical work to use a unified framework, he draws upon a modern and general approach to contracting relations, namely principal-agent analysis. This book establishes a clear theoretical framework involving risk management, information handling and the 'trading' of risk and information. Using powerful modern theory as a general and coherent frame of reference to analyse an extensive body of new evidence, the author shows how top investors manage risk and monitor investees, and examines the best relationship between investor and investee. Exploring the principles governing high-risk/high-return investment, this is a unique insight into the turbulent world of the venture capitalist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Venture Capital Investors and Portfolio Firms venture capital firms are considered as investors in young growth-oriented companies. The authors focus on the later phases of the venture capital (VC) investment process. They therefore emphasize monitoring, value adding, and exiting activities. They also include a review of the literature on the outcome of venture capital investment activities. Research findings are drawn principally from refereed journal papers in entrepreneurship, finance, and management. The monograph is divided into six principal areas: 1.What venture capital firms do. 2.The impact of VCs on portfolio firms and other stakeholders. 3.The role of syndication. 4.The nature and timing of exit from VC investments. 5.The role of VCs in portfolio companies that undergo an initial public offering (IPO). 6.The returns from investing in VC. Venture Capital Investors and Portfolio Firms concludes with a detailed agenda for further research. To aid the reader who wishes to pursue particular papers in more detail, the authors provide a summary of the main papers in this literature in a set of tables where they identify the authors, publication date, the journal, the main research question, the theoretical perspective, data, and the principal findings.

Download or read book World Development Report 1994 written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1994 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Development Report 1994 examines the link between infrastructure and development and explores ways in which developing countries can improve both the provision and the quality of infrastructure services. In recent decades, developing countries have made substantial investments in infrastructure, achieving dramatic gains for households and producers by expanding their access to services such as safe water, sanitation, electric power, telecommunications, and transport. Even more infrastructure investment and expansion are needed in order to extend the reach of services - especially to people living in rural areas and to the poor. But as this report shows, the quantity of investment cannot be the exclusive focus of policy. Improving the quality of infrastructure service also is vital. Both quantity and quality improvements are essential to modernize and diversify production, help countries compete internationally, and accommodate rapid urbanization. The report identifies the basic cause of poor past performance as inadequate institutional incentives for improving the provision of infrastructure. To promote more efficient and responsive service delivery, incentives need to be changed through commercial management, competition, and user involvement. Several trends are helping to improve the performance of infrastructure. First, innovation in technology and in the regulatory management of markets makes more diversity possible in the supply of services. Second, an evaluation of the role of government is leading to a shift from direct government provision of services to increasing private sector provision and recent experience in many countries with public-private partnerships is highlighting new ways to increase efficiency and expand services. Third, increased concern about social and environmental sustainability has heightened public interest in infrastructure design and performance.

Download or read book The Qualimetrics Approach written by Henri Savall and published by IAP. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impetus for this work emerged from Savall’s belief that there is a doubleloop interaction between social and economic factors in organizations, between behaviors and structures, and between the quality of life in organizations and their economic performance. When managers underestimate this dynamic interaction, the resulting tension ultimately manifests in lowered performance and increased costs, what he refers to as the “hidden costs” of organizational life. Only by delving into the depths of these organizational dynamics can we hope to fully understand – and create the basis for improving – organizational performance. The Qualimetrics Approach presents a different and challenging way of thinking about analyzing organizations, one that draws together quantitative information, financial analysis and qualitative insights into organizational dynamics. As Savall and Zardet argue, to gain a true understanding of what is happening in organizations, intervener-researchers must focus on all three perspectives, as ignoring any one of them will lead to incomplete understandings. Their approach underscores the importance of using qualitative data to validate quantitative depictions (“the numbers”) of organizational performance in understanding the construction of financial statements. The strength of Savall and Zardet’s approach is that it pushes us to go deeper, to fully understand the narratives underlying the numbers and the social construction of our financial assessments.

This book was released on 2014-02-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le terme promotion de la santé en Afrique, près de 30 ans après l'adoption de la Charte d'Ottawa, continue d'avoir des connotations complètement hors du sens que lui confère cette charte. Cela n'est pas étonnant quand on sait que la notion de santé dans ce contexte africain équivaut à la lutte contre la maladie à travers les soins de santé dispensés par des professionnels de la santé dans des formations sanitaires et les hôpitaux. L'évolution que connait le continent depuis quelques décennies est de donner un peu plus de place à la communauté à travers les relais communautaires dans une participation communautaire vidée de son contenu, car le pouvoir n'est jamais passé entre les mains des communautés.C'est au vu de tout ceci que le présent ouvrage à sa raison d'être pour expliquer les fondements de l'autonomisation communautaire et de la promotion de la santé avec leur importance pour la région africaine en proie aux mauvais indicateurs de santé comparativement aux autres régions du monde.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private equity firms are snapping up brand-name companies and assembling portfolios that make them immense global conglomerates. They're often able to maximize investor value far more successfully than traditional public companies. How do PE firms become such powerhouses? Learn how, in Lessons from Private Equity Any Company Can Use. Bain chairman Orit Gadiesh and partner Hugh MacArthur use the concise, actionable format of a memo to lay out the five disciplines that PE firms use to attain their edge: · Invest with a thesis using a specific, appropriate 3-5-year goal · Create a blueprint for change--a road map for initiatives that will generate the most value for your company within that time frame · Measure only what matters--such as cash, key market intelligence, and critical operating data · Hire, motivate, and retain hungry managers--people who think like owners · Make equity sweat--by making cash scarce, and forcing managers to redeploy underperforming capital in productive directions This is the PE formulate for unleashing a company's true potential.
