Overcoming Institutional Voids: A Reputation-Based View of Long Run Survival Cheng Gao Harvard Business School Tiona Zuzul London Business School Geoffrey Jones Harvard Business School Tarun Khanna Harvard Business School Abstract Emerging markets are characterized by underdeveloped institutions and frequent environmental shifts. Yet they also contain many firms that have survived over generations. How are firms in weak institutional environments able to persist over time? Motivated by 69 interviews with leaders of emerging market firms with histories spanning generations, we combine induction and deduction to propose reputation as a meta-resource that allows firms to activate their conventional resources. We conceptualize reputation as consisting of prominence, perceived quality, and resilience, and develop a process model that illustrates the mechanisms that allow reputation to facilitate survival in ways that persist over time. Building on research in strategy and business history, we thus shed light on an underappreciated strategic construct (reputation) in an under-theorized setting (emerging markets) over an unusual period (the historical long run).

  • The Fraudulent Mexican Presidential Elections
    Convenit Internacional 17 jan-abr 2015 Cemoroc-Feusp / IJI - Univ. do Porto The Fraudulent Mexican Presidential Elections Denise Juárez1 California State University-Fullerton Resumen: los partidos políticos más importantes en México son el Partido Revolucionario Institucional, el Partido Acción Nacional y el Partido de la Revolución Democrática. Estos partidos fueron creados con el propósito de representar al pueblo mexicano y para favorecer el desarrollo de la democracia en dicho país. Sin embargo, México tiene una democracia corrupta con elecciones fraudulentas, lo que a su vez trascendió en el control del Partido Revolucionario Institucional por 71 años consecutivos. No obstante, cuando el Partido Acción Nacional llegó al poder, demostró que eran igual de corruptos que el Partido Revolucionario Institucional, debido a que participaron en actividades fraudulentas antes y durante las elecciones presidenciales del 2006. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las diferentes técnicas ilegítimas que fueron utilizadas por el Partido Revolucionario Institucional y el Partido Acción Nacional con el fin de ganar las elecciones por las que Felipe Calderón y Enrique Peña Nieto ascendieron a la Presidencia de México en 2006 y 2012 respectivamente. Palabras Clave: fraude electoral, PRI, PRD, PAN, Elecciones Presidenciales, Televisa, TvAzecta, López Obrador, Peña Nieto, Calderón, México. Abstract: The most important political parties in Mexico are the Institutional Revolutionary Party, the National Action Party, and the Democratic Revolutionary Party. These political parties were created to represent the Mexican people and for the development of democracy. Nonetheless, the results have been far from a legitimate democracy, it has only created a perceived democracy with elections that are far from equal, resulting in the Institutional Revolutionary Party control of power for 71 consecutive years.

    This document is being provided publicly in the following form. Please subscribe to FSInsight.com for more. Members Area Crypto Daily Crypto Daily Report – June 28 Crypto Daily Crypto Daily Report – June 28 June 28 FSInsight Team Crypto Daily Report The Most Important Daily Data for Digital Assets Daily Analysis from FSInsight June 28, 2021 It was a volatile weekend for crypto, as Bitcoin dropped from $34,700 on Friday to nearly $30,000 on Saturday morning before rallying 17% to $35,000 through Sunday and into Monday morning. Similarly, Ethereum dropped from around $1,900 on Friday to $1,700 on Saturday morning, followed by a bounce towards $2,000 on Monday morning. As noted in our Crypto Blast on Friday evening, these swings were likely the result of concerns over leverage and counterparty risk of some lenders in the market. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) ordered Binance Markets Limited (BML), a subsidiary of the world's leading crypto exchange Binance, to cease any regulated activity within the country. According to Binance, while this prevents BML from offering regulated services such as options and futures trading, crypto services offered through Binance.com should be unaffected by the ban. Ricardo Salinas Pliego, Mexican billionaire and founder of Grupo Salinas, mentioned on Saturday that the Grupo Salinas-owned Banco Azteca might start offering bitcoin-related services. Salinas, the third- richest person in Mexico, revealed last year that 10% of his portfolio is in BTC, and has been publicly critical of the fiat system
