  • Comcast Corporation: Acquisition of NBC Universal and the Battle for Sports Programming
    Comcast Corporation: Acquisition of NBC Universal and the Battle for Sports Programming Executive Summary Comcast acquired NBC Universal on January 28th of2011. Upon this purchase, they also acquired the various networks of USA, Bravo, SyFy, CNBC, and MSNBC all being huge additives in the purchase adding to the revenue of the business venture at stake. Comcast’s resource development has been established by Comcast’s marketable assets defining themselves by product research as well as the development of the acquired technology, and the development of various systems. Comcast’s general idea is to implement the thought of a resonating concept that radiates to the general public regarding itself in a way that is marketable to all. The resources and abilities combined with Comcast’s already strong logistics, as well as their excellent marketing abilities and excellent customer service departments have created a strong infrastructure that is more than capable and prepped for expansion. The major expansions that appear on the horizon for Comcast are equally distributed by the ability to expand their corporation. As such, their acquisition of NBC will vastly expand their ability to obtain new technological and content capabilities As it is, Comcast itself is a multimedia giant, being known throughout the United States as one of the leading providers of cable television as well as a provider of internet and phone services. It is through this vast resource system that has not only allowed Comcast to grow into a multimedia giant, but create the opportunity to grow into a national leading provider and well subscriber to all.

  • 19 International Banks Invest Over US$65 Billion in Companies Linked to Myanmar Junta and Atrocities
    Investing in the Military Cartel: 19 international banks invest over US$65 billion in companies linked to Myanmar junta and atrocities Update: Wednesday 28th July, 2021 Expanded research shows that 19 international banks each invest over US$ 1 billion in shares of companies with ties to the Myanmar military junta. These banks with over US$1 billion in holdings are: Crédit Agricole, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, BPCE Group, Credit Suisse, Mizuho Financial, Société Générale, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, Royal Bank of Canada, BNP Paribas, Barclays, DZ Bank and Toronto-Dominion Bank On 1 February 2021, Myanmar’s military staged a coup in a brutal attempt to reimpose military rule, nullifying the results of the November 2020 elections, arresting and detaining democratically elected members of parliament and declaring a state of emergency. Over 900 civilians have been killed and thousands detained since the coup. Attacks against ethnic communities have intensified, including indiscriminate airstrikes. Gross human rights violations have become widespread and systematic, amounting to crimes against humanity. Despite the brutal violence of the Myanmar military continuing, new and expanded analy- ses conducted by BankTrack and Justice For Myanmar has found that 19 internationally operating banks have invested over US$65 billion in 18 companies that have either direct and longstanding commercial ties to Myanmar’s military (see Category 1 below), or to state entities that the military is attempting to control as a result of the coup (see Category 2 below). This research follows the publication in March 2021 of the “Investing in the Military Cartel: Two Dutch pension funds invest US$2.3 billion in companies linked to the Myanmar mili- tary’s atrocities” report by Justice for Myanmar and OECD Watch and May 2021 resource “Public Companies Financially Supporting the Illegitimate Myanmar Junta” by Justice For Myanmar.

  • Conglomeration Unbound: the Origins and Globally Unparalleled Structures of Multi-Sector Chinese Corporate Groups Controlling Large Financial Companies
    CONGLOMERATION UNBOUND: THE ORIGINS AND GLOBALLY UNPARALLELED STRUCTURES OF MULTI-SECTOR CHINESE CORPORATE GROUPS CONTROLLING LARGE FINANCIAL COMPANIES XIAN WANG, ROBERT W. GREENE & YAN YAN* ABSTRACT Unlike other major financial markets, Mainland China is home to many mixed conglomerates that control a range of large financial and non-financial firms. This Article examines the Leninist origins of these financial-commercial conglomerates (“FCCs”), and how legal and policy changes in the 1980s and 1990s enabled FCC growth during the 2000s. An underexplored topic of research, Mainland China’s FCCs are mostly not subject to group-wide regulation and this Article finds that due to complex ownership structures brought about, in part, by legal ambiguity, potential risks these entities pose to financial markets can be unclear to regulators—in 2019, issues at one FCC-controlled bank ultimately sparked market-wide distress. Using a dataset built by the authors, this Article estimates that by 2017, FCC-controlled companies accounted for thirteen to nineteen percent of Mainland China’s commercial banking assets, over one- * Xian Wang is an Associate Dean at the National Institute of Financial Research in the People’s Bank of China School of Finance at Tsinghua University.

    PRICE/EARNINGS DIFFERENTIAL AS A PURE CONGLOMERATE MERGER MOTIVE, 1954-1969 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Department of Economics University of Houston In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy by Robert Lawrence Conn May, 1973 684749 PRICE/EARNINGS DIFFERENTIAL AS A PURE CONGLOMERATE MERGER MOTIVE, 1954-1969 Abstract of a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Department of Economics University of Houston In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy by Robert Lawrence Conn May, 1973 ABSTRACT This study analyzes the importance of price/earnings differences between firms as a motive for conglomerate merger. The motive of in­ creased short run wealth in the form of higher earnings per share and/or price per share is scrutinized from theoretical and empirical view­ points. The primary hypothesis evaluated is whether price/earnings differences between acquiring and acquired firms comprise an important motivation for merger. The major conclusion is that price/earnings differentials are an important explanatory variable in the motivation for conglomerate merger. Chapters I and II contain a theoretical discussion of the neces­ sary conditions for achieving wealth increases via merger for equity owners in acquiring and/or acquired firms. The effect of price/earnings differentials on the attainment of specific merger goals—increases in earnings per share and/or price per share—is examined within an ex­ change ratio model. In Chapter III prior empirical evidence on price/earnings differ­ entials is reviewed. Existing data on merging firms suggest that price/ earnings differences may be more significant for conglomerate than non­ conglomerate mergers.
