  • Global Vs. Local-The Hungarian Retail Wars
    Journal of Business and Retail Management Research (JBRMR) October 2015 Global Vs. Local-The Hungarian Retail Wars Charles S. Mayer Reza M. Bakhshandeh Central European University, Budapest, Hungary Key Words MNE’s, SME’s, Hungary, FMCG Retailing, Cooperatives, Rivalry Abstract In this paper we explore the impact of the ivasion of large global retailers into the Hungarian FMCG space. As well as giving the historical evolution of the market, we also show a recipe on how the local SME’s can cope with the foreign competition. “If you can’t beat them, at least emulate them well.” 1. Introduction Our research started with a casual observation. There seemed to be too many FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) stores in Hungary, compared to the population size, and the purchasing power. What was the reason for this proliferation, and what outcomes could be expected from it? Would the winners necessarily be the MNE’s, and the losers the local SME’S? These were the questions that focused our research for this paper. With the opening of the CEE to the West, large multinational retailers moved quickly into the region. This was particularly true for the extended food retailing sector (FMCG’s). Hungary, being very central, and having had good economic relations with the West in the past, was one of the more attractive markets to enter. We will follow the entry of one such multinational, Delhaize (Match), in detail. At the same time, we will note how two independent local chains, CBA and COOP were able to respond to the threat of the invasion of the multinationals.

  • Region Ile-De-France
    Region Ile-de-France PROJECTS FINANCED BY THE 2016 GREEN AND SUSTAINABILITY BOND EDITO When issuing its green and sustainability bond in June 2016, the Regional Council of Ile-de-France, over which I have the honour of presiding, undertook to present in detail, within twelve months, the projects that benefited from the funds raised. With this docu- ment, this commitment has been upheld, highlighting projects that are emblematic of actions of the Region, one of whose main mis- sions is to invest for sustainable and harmonious development for its territory. Through this reporting, the momentum driven by the Regional Council is demonstrated promoting the attractiveness of Ile-de- France, through its investments in the sectors of transport, educa- tion, higher education, research and the environmental transition. You will find a new and very structural project—the extension of the RER to the west (EOLE)—which was able to begin following the signature in 2016 of the financing protocol. It will link Paris to Mantes-la-Jolie by the mid-2020s and will directly benefit 1.4 mil- lion Ile-de-France residents. You will also find another key ability Valérie Pécresse, President of Region Ile-de-France of the Region that justified the adoption of a new multi-year invest- ment plan: the construction and renovation of six high schools, in line with the highest environmental standards, in order to cope with the population growth observed in Ile-de-France and to welcome the new high school students under the best possible conditions. In order to increase the effectiveness of its policies, the Region has also set up a wide-ranging programme of local actions to better integrate environmental and socio-economic aspects into its planning strategy.

  • Independence and Trade: the Speci C E Ects of French Colonialism
    Independence and trade: the specic eects of French colonialism Emmanuelle Lavallée¤ Julie Lochardy June 2012z Very preliminary. Please do note cite. Abstract Empirical evidence suggests that colonial rule and subsequent indepen- dence inuence past and current trade of former colonies. Independence ef- fects could dier substantially across former empires if they are related to the end of dierent preferential trade arrangements. Thanks to an original dataset including new data on pre-independence bilateral trade, this paper explores the impact of independence on former colonies' trade (imports and exports) for dierent empires on the period 1948-2007. We show that independence reduces trade (imports and exports) with the former metropole and that this eect is mainly driven by former French colonies. We also nd that, after independence, trade of all former colonies increase with third countries. A close inspection of the eects over time highlights that independence eects are gradual but tend to be more rapid and more intense in the case of exports. These results oer indirect evidence for the long-lasting inuence of colonial trade policies. Author Keywords: Trade; Decolonization; French Empire.
