  • Annual Report 2008-2009
    ANNUAL REPORT 2008 2009 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 2009 Contents Message From the Dean I 5 Bold Strides Forward I 6 Renewing Organizational Landscapes I 16 Beyond Theory to Practice I 26 Sustaining Relationships I 32 Financial Report I 40 Exhibits I 59 MESSAGE FROM THE The 2008-2009 academic year unfolded amid growing challenges DEAN in the global economic landscape. The climate of uncertainty that pervaded much of the world — coupled with the slow pace of recovery — nonetheless revealed new opportunities for IESE. With an entrepreneurial mindset, IESE aligned its portfolio of executive programs to current economic realities. Our program offerings responded to the wide-ranging questions of alumni and friends about how best to meet current challenges and prepare for the future. New and ongoing programs offered new perspectives, practical strategies, and encouraging support. The overall upswing in participation we saw this year refl ected, we believe, a global awareness of the need for new paradigms. Our response was to encourage business leaders to step back, take a fresh look, innovate and move forward with strength of purpose and optimism. At IESE, we have never been more acutely aware of the role companies play in fueling economic and social progress. We see it as our global social responsibility to develop business leaders with integrity and service orientation: leaders who hold themselves accountable, who value their people, and who recognize that personal and organizational development feed societal growth. As we continue to seize new opportunities for a better future, we are gratifi ed by the dedication of our superlative faculty, administrators, and staff.

    Corporations / Agencies 1. The World Bank The World Bank is an international financial institution that was established at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944 to help reconstruct post WWII Europe. For the past 50 years the World Bank has transitioned to providing loans to governments in developing countries in order to improve infrastructure. In theory this may sound innocuous, but World Bank policies have devastated local and indigenous communities and increased the developing world’s debt crisis. Indebted nations who wish to borrow money from the World Bank have to agree to a number of structural adjustment plans and privatization measures that have including the privatization of publicly owned water and sanitation utilities. As a governing body the World Bank is less than democratic. Decisions rest in the hands of members from wealthy nations and 51% of the funding for the World Bank comes from the US Treasury, making the World Bank an arm of US foreign policy. In short, the World Bank has escalated neo-liberal policies by promoting unfettered free markets, export-oriented economies, reduced protections for domestic industries, weakened labor laws, and slack environmental standards. 2. Veolia Environnement Veolia, based in France, and previously named Vivendi Environnement, is the largest water and waste-water corporation in the world and a major benefactor of World Bank privatization schemes. Veolia earned more than $48 billion in revenue in 2007 and operates in over 67 countries in Europe, North America, China, North Africa, and the Middle East where it services over 110 million people. Veolia’s US subsidiary Veolia Water North America is the largest water contractor in the US despite substandard service.

  • Politics of Water Nov 17
    THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO THE POLITICS OF WATER: PRIVATIZING WATER AND SANITATION UTILITIES IN ARGENTINA AND CHILE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE DIVISION OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY BY MARIA AKCHURIN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS DECEMBER 2015 Dissertation Abstract Over the past thirty years, Latin America has been the site of substantial efforts to privatize urban water and sanitation services. As a consequence of these privatization experiments, the state shifted from running water utilities to a regulatory role while multinational private firms came to occupy service provider roles that had traditionally been in the public sector. In this dissertation, I compare this process in Chile and Argentina, focusing on the Santiago Metropolitan Region and Greater Buenos Aires since the late 1980s to the present. I show that in Chile, state-run water utilities achieved relatively high performance with respect to extending access to running water and sewerage connections before full-scale privatization went forward. The fact that they were high performing made them not only more attractive to private investors but also more likely to be interpreted as proof of privatization success later on. By contrast, in Argentina, where connections to running water and sewerage services were low and the waterworks system faced many problems, especially in the informal settlements and marginalized communities of Greater Buenos Aires, the experiment failed and private companies could not step in to fill gaps created by weak state capacity despite the expectations set up by the narrative of pro-market supporters. Still, the years of failed privatization inadvertently led the government to eventually pay attention to water and sanitation again, pouring funding into new public works alongside the creation of a new public sector company.

  • Briefing Note
    Briefing note The Boards of Directors of “la Caixa” and Criteria approve the terms of the Group's reorganization Criteria net profit up 38% in 2010 to €1.82 billion Recurring net profit up 21%. The Board of Directors resolves to submit a proposal for shareholder approval to pay a final dividend equivalent to €0.051 per share, which shareholders may choose to receive in cash or shares. Total shareholder remuneration in 2010 of €0.311 per share. Barcelona, February 25, 2011 The Boards of Directors of "la Caixa" and Criteria have approved terms of the "la Caixa" group's reorganization. "la Caixa" will transfer its banking business to Criteria (which will become a banking group, changing its name to CaixaBank), while Criteria will transfer some of its industrial holdings (Gas Natural Fenosa, Abertis, Aguas de Barcelona, PortAventura and Mediterránea Beach & Golf Community) to a new entity fully owned by “la Caixa.” The new entity will also oversee Servihabitat and other real estate businesses “la Caixa”, which will continue to be a savings bank, will be CaixaBank's majority shareholder, with 81.1% of its share capital. This will allow it to indirectly continue its banking activities (see Appendix I). The final terms of the transaction have been reviewed by the Independent Committee (an ad hoc Board committee) composed of independent directors of Criteria. This committee has obtained fairness opinions from Citigroup and Société General, which confirm the fairness ‐ under a financial point of view‐ of the proposed transaction for Criteria's minority shareholders. CaixaBank will start off with over 5,400 offices, and will have the lowest NPL ratio (3.71%), the most comprehensive NPL coverage (70%) and the highest core capital ratio (10.9%, according to Basle II, after the issuance of €1.5bn of mandatory convertible bonds) amongst the major Spanish groups.
