(“Assaí” and the “Spin-off”, respectively). The Spin-off will be preceded by the transfer of the shareholding interest currently held by Assaí in Almacenes Éxito S.A. to GPA (the Spin-off, together with the preceding transfer aforementioned, the “Potential Transaction”). The goal of the Potential Transaction is to unleash the full potential of the Company’s cash & carry and traditional retail businesses, allowing them to operate on a standalone basis, with separate management teams, and focusing on their respective businesses models and market opportunities. Additionally, the Potential Transaction will provide each of the businesses with direct access to the capital markets and other sources of funding, hence allowing them to prioritize investments according to each company’s profile, thus creating more value for their respective shareholders. Upon the implementation of the Potential Transaction, the shares issued by Assaí and held by the Company will be distributed to the Company’s shareholders, on a pro rata basis. The distribution of shares will occur after the listing of Assaí’s shares on the Novo Mercado segment of B3 S.A.

  • 1 Simple Linear Regression I – Least Squares Estimation
    1 Simple Linear Regression I – Least Squares Estimation Textbook Sections: 18.1–18.3 Previously, we have worked with a random variable x that comes from a population that is normally distributed with mean µ and variance σ2. We have seen that we can write x in terms of µ and a random error component ε, that is, x = µ + ε. For the time being, we are going to change our notation for our random variable from x to y. So, we now write y = µ + ε. We will now find it useful to call the random variable y a dependent or response variable. Many times, the response variable of interest may be related to the value(s) of one or more known or controllable independent or predictor variables. Consider the following situations: LR1 A college recruiter would like to be able to predict a potential incoming student’s first–year GPA (y) based on known information concerning high school GPA (x1) and college entrance examination score (x2). She feels that the student’s first–year GPA will be related to the values of these two known variables. LR2 A marketer is interested in the effect of changing shelf height (x1) and shelf width (x2)on the weekly sales (y) of her brand of laundry detergent in a grocery store. LR3 A psychologist is interested in testing whether the amount of time to become proficient in a foreign language (y) is related to the child’s age (x). In each case we have at least one variable that is known (in some cases it is controllable), and a response variable that is a random variable.

    WHOSE FORTUNE IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PYRAMID? Natalie Unterstell Instituto Socioambiental - ISA Fundação Getulio Vargas (Getulio Vargas Foundation) Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo (São Paulo Business School) [email protected] Mário Aquino Alves Fundação Getulio Vargas (Getulio Vargas Foundation) Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo (São Paulo Business School) [email protected] This article is work in progress; delivered at the Seventh International Conference of the International Society for Third Sector Research (ISTR); "Civil Society and Human Security: Raum Jai" taking place at Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel; Bangkok – Thailand, in July 9 – 12, 2006. SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THIRD SECTOR RESEARCH Bangkok, July 2006 WHOSE FORTUNE IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PYRAMID? Natalie Unterstell Mário Aquino Alves INTRODUCTION Development became one of the most relevant themes for discussion, research and event intervention and has been incorporated into multiple social actors’ agenda such as governments, civil society and most recently corporations. Different actors, however, have different opinions related to the construct of development, creating a dispute over those varied meanings. In this article we aim to investigate this dispute between two approaches to development by analyzing the distinctive strengths and limits of fair trade - known as an alternative for those who are social excluded and unvoiced to access commercial chains and effectively take part in the economic dynamics of global markets; and of the active engagement of private sector at the “bottom of the pyramid” (BOP), disseminated as a critical element in creating an inclusive globalization. Some initiatives of fair trade – also known as “ethical and solidary commerce1” – have been multiplied throughout Brazil, especially during the last few years.
