  • The Profitable and Untethered March to Global Resource Dominance!
    Athens Journal of Business and Economics X Y GlencoreXstrata… The Profitable and Untethered March to Global Resource Dominance! By Nina Aversano Titos Ritsatos† Motivated by the economic causes and effects of their merger in 2013, we study the expansion strategy deployment of Glencore International plc. and Xstrata plc., before and after their merger. While both companies went through a series of international acquisitions during the last decade, their merger is strengthening effective vertical integration in critical resource and commodity markets, following Hymer’s theory of internationalization and Dunning’s theory of Eclectic Paradigm. Private existence of global dominant positioning in vital resource markets, posits economic sustainability and social fairness questions on an international scale. Glencore is alleged to have used unethical business tactics, increasing corruption, tax evasion and money laundering, while attracting the attention of human rights organizations. Since the announcement of their intended merger, the company’s market performance has been lower than its benchmark index. Glencore’s and Xstrata’s economic success came from operating effectively and efficiently in markets that scare off risk-averse companies. The new GlencoreXstrata is not the same company anymore. The Company’s new capital structure is characterized by controlling presence of institutional investors, creating adherence to corporate governance and increased monitoring and transparency. Furthermore, when multinational corporations like GlencoreXstrata increase in size attracting the attention of global regulation, they are forced by institutional monitoring to increase social consciousness. When ensuring full commitment to social consciousness acting with utmost concern with regard to their commitment by upholding rules and regulations of their home or host country, they have but to become “quasi-utilities” for the global industry.

  • The Importance of Human Motion for Simulation Testing of GNSS
    The Importance of Human Motion for Simulation Testing of GNSS Kimon Voutsis, Paul D Groves, University College London, United Kingdom Mark Holbrow, Colin Ford, Spirent Communications plc, United Kingdom BIOGRAPHY ABSTRACT Kimon Voutsis is a PhD student of the Space Geodesy and Human motion is generally considered benign to the Navigation Laboratory (SGNL) at University College performance of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) London (UCL). He is interested in positioning sensors and and other positioning sensors. This study proves that this is navigation systems, human biomechanics and routing not the case, even for typical human behaviour involving models. The aim of his current research is the development GNSS user equipment, e.g. in smartphones. Using of a pedestrian motion model intended for testing the recorded human motion, it is shown that phase-lock loops performance of positioning sensors in a simulation (PLLs) in GNSS receivers are sensitive to jerk dynamics environment. He holds a first-class Bachelor (Hons) in induced by user motion, resulting in carrier cycle slips. Geography from Harokopio University of Athens, Greece and an MSc in Geographic Information Science from UCL. To test the effects of human dynamics on GNSS carrier He has worked for three years in technical analysis and tracking, real human motion profiles were captured. These developing GIS software solutions for the transport profiles comprised typical types of movements using a industry.
