  • Legal Affairs – True Crime the Scent of French Scandal
    14/04/2017 Legal Affairs ­ True Crime: The Scent of French Scandal True Crime: The Scent of French Scandal By David Ignatius A Deadly Omen in Jakarta By Tim Dodd The Book of Hard Cases By Steven Mufson TRUE CRIME: THE SCENT OF FRENCH SCANDAL David Ignatius on the Elf Aquitaine corruption case that rocked France�s elite. Investigators caught big fish�but the biggest got away. By David Ignatius When the French magistrate Eva Joly opened an investigation into the Paris­based oil company Elf Aquitaine in 1994, she took on a side of her country's elite that's usually hidden from view. Buried within the company's accounts was a chain of fraud and bribery that touched many of the leading politicians in France. It was as if she had unlocked a caisse noire where the elite's secrets were hidden. Inside that black box was a trove of scandal: the money that purchased apartments for the mistresses of powerful men; the "retro­commissions" to French business and political leaders that flowed from many big French business deals abroad; Elf credit cards issued to friends of the company, who bought hundreds of meals in Paris's most lavish restaurants; the names of a loose fraternity of intermediaries who arranged payoffs for Elf and other big companies; and the numbers of secret bank accounts in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and other places where Elf's beneficiaries had hidden their payoffs. Joly discovered the SEARCH LEGAL AFFAIRS strands of what the French call les réseaux—the networks of hidden power woven through the nation's life.

The President’s Report quite appropriately looks back over the dramatic developments of the past forty years while addressing the future and BGU’s ongoing challenges and weighty responsibilities. This Report revisits a journey – a journey from the modest plans to establish a local technological institute, over a course of steady progress, culminating in a first-rate research university enjoying international recognition, which is Ben-Gurion University of the Negev today. “From Vision to Reality” juxtaposes a small and sleepy desert town of forty years ago, characterized by its remoteness, with a modern institute for higher education that is a bridge to the future.

  • Chapter 7: Five Key Success Factors
    3CADB61E-3CA8-CD64.doc 1 Michel Gutsatz Chapter 7: Five key success factors The consumers desire luxury brands and luxury goods. Luxury brands develop business strategies to satisfy these desires. But as Domenico De Sole himself said: “You can have the best strategy in the world, but the difference between the excellent and the incompetent is: execution, execution, execution”. Luxury brands’ history is filled of magnificent strategies, of hailed CEOs, of awesome transactions that now fill the graveyards of the industry and the casebooks of business schools. There are at least five key success factors that all relate to the implementation of the strategy, most of which are quite specific to luxury brands: 1. Being consistent in the brand image and strategy 2. Investing in retail and balancing distribution channels 3. Being innovative and developing new products 4. Managing the gross margin 5. Investing in communication and medias to develop brand awareness Each is critical. Each can be a stumbling stone. Managing all effectively can lead to a huge success. We will review them, highlighting the difficulties in their implementation. 3CADB61E-3CA8-CD64.doc 2 Michel Gutsatz A. Consistency, consistency, consistency… There are currently three basic situations in luxury brands –but history shows that all mixes of these are possible: 1. The Creator –or a substitution creator- is present: that is the case in most apparel brands. Dior with John Galliano, Thierry Mugler, Jean Paul Gaultier, Miuccia Prada are such cases. 2. The brand has a Creative Director, who may or may not be a designer himself, who overlooks all the creative aspects of the brand presence: the template here is Tom Ford at Gucci.
