Jones’ chief financial officer Efthimio Sotos declined comment Wednesday. No bank appears to have been appointed to advise the company on any possible breakup.

  • Hollywood Sett Fra Wall Street En Begivenhetsstudie Av Celebrity Endorsement
    Emilie Kjøtrød ________________________________ Hollywood sett fra Wall Street En begivenhetsstudie av celebrity endorsement i Masteroppgave i Finans Handelshøyskolen ved HiOA Sammendrag I denne oppgaven benyttes begivenhetsstudie som metode for å undersøke hvilken effekt, om noen, de to markedsføringsstrategiene celebrity endorsement og celebrity testimonial har på aksjekursen til det aktuelle selskapet. Ved hjelp av 213 observasjoner, fordelt på 92 endorsement og 121 testimonial, finner man at strategien ikke nødvendigvis er like aktuell som den var for bare 10-20 år siden. Resultatene viser ikke-signifikante positive gjennomsnittlige akkumulerte unormale avkastninger, som reduseres dersom man tar ut ekstremverdier som muligens kan tilskrives tilfeldigheter. Dette støttes av fersk forskning på området og resultatene styrker dermed også semi-sterk markedseffisiens. Videre vurderes årsaken til at denne formen for markedsføringsstrategi trolig har sett sine glansdager. I tillegg legges det fremforslag til videre forskningsspørsmål knyttet til fenomenet. Abstract The following thesis is an event study examining how, and if, the two marketing strategies celebrity endorsement and celebrity testimonial affects cumulative average abnormal returns of the company. By analyzing 213 observations distributed as 92 celebrity endorsements and 121 celebrity testimonials the study reveals that the strategy is not necessarily as effective as it was just a few decades ago. The results show an insignificant, yet positive, cumulative average abnormal return. The effect is possible to reduce by disregarding extreme observations due to chance. The results of this study supports recent studies, and suggests semi-strong market efficiency. Further, potential causes towards the marketing strategy’s reduction of significance is considered. Finally, suggestions of further research linked to the findings and the phenomena is presented.

    Council of Fashion Designers of America ANNUAL REPORT 2017 The mission of the Council of Fashion Designers of America is to strengthen the impact of American fashion in the global economy. B 1 Letter from the Chairwoman, Diane von Furstenberg, and the President and Chief Executive Officer, Steven Kolb In fashion, we respond to the world we live in, a point that was powerfully driven home in 2017. We were excited to see talents with broad cultural backgrounds and political ideas begin to express their experiences and beliefs through their collections. Diversity moved into the spotlight in ways we have never seen before. Designers embraced new approaches to business, from varying show formats to disruptive delivery cycles. It was also the year to make your voices heard, and CFDA listened. We engaged in civic initiatives important to our industry and partnered with Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and FWD.us. We also relaunched our CFDA Health Initiative with guidelines to help those impacted by sexual assault or other forms of abuse. There’s no going back. In 2018, CFDA is moving ahead at full speed with an increased focus on inclusivity and women in fashion, the latter through an exciting new study with Glamour magazine. We may be a reflection of the world we live in, but we also work hard to make that world a better place.

DRIVE BY JACQUELYN LEWIS anny Schwartz is enthusiastic about commemorating Schwartz & Benjamin’s 90th year, but D the company CEO and third- generation footwear executive is hardly nostalgic. “I want to celebrate all the milestones we’ve hit throughout the years, [but I also] want people to see that we are a modern, vibrant company,” he said. “Maybe we are looking back [for a moment], but it really is all about going forward.” Indeed, New York-based Schwartz & Ben- jamin has set its sights on the future with a sharpened focus. Its strategy centers on streamlining product offerings and working with its existing partners that already have an international presence or the potential to go global. To that end, the company recently inked a licensing deal with Derek Lam, which launched Danny Schwartz, with footwear for spring ’13 and will continue Barbara Schwartz with the introduction of the diffusion line 10 and Steve Shapiro Crosby Derek Lam this fall. “We expect substantial growth for all our current brands,” said Barbara Schwartz, direc- team parted ways with one of its licensors, Steve Jobs, whose biography they’ve praised tor of product development and wife of Danny.
