  • The Internationalization of the Argentine Company Siderca
    Management as an Entrepreneurial Activity: The Internationalization of the Argentine Company Siderca 109 Management as an Entrepreneurial Activity: The Internationalization of the Argentine Company Siderca (1960-1996) Claudio Castro* Aesial, Facultad de Ciencias Económicas, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina Management as an Entrepreneurial Activity: The Internationalization of the Argentine Company Siderca (1960-1996) Abstract This paper analyzes and explains the process of internationalization of an Argentine company that produces seamless pipes. Siderca initiated its activities during the import substitution phase in Argentina and later achieved international market leadership. The explanation for this breakthrough onto the global stage is to be found in the arrival of a new and young group of middle managers who were promoted from within the corporation. This pattern is consistent with the literature on the role of middle management in the design and implementation of strategic change. The transformations in this company also influenced the rest of the activities of the Techint Group.

  • An Analysis of the Level of Qualitative Efficiency for the Equity Research Reports in the Italian Financial Market
    http://ijba.sciedupress.com International Journal of Business Administration Vol. 9, No. 2; 2018 An Analysis of the Level of Qualitative Efficiency for the Equity Research Reports in the Italian Financial Market Paola Fandella1 1 Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy Correspondence: Paola Fandella, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy. Received: January 15, 2018 Accepted: February 6, 2018 Online Published: February 8, 2018 doi:10.5430/ijba.v9n2p21 URL: https://doi.org/10.5430/ijba.v9n2p21 Abstract Corporate reports issued by various financial intermediaries play a major role in investment decisions. For this reason, it is particularly interesting to understand the accuracy of the forecasts, by carrying out an empirical analysis of the "equity research" system in Italy, identifying structural features, degree of reliability and incidence in the market. The choice of the analysis of the efficiency level information on the Italian market proposes to assess the interest of equity research of a niche market (339 listed companies in 2017) but with characteristics of potential growth such as having been acquired by LSEGroup in 2007, the 6th stock-exchange group at international level for the number of listed companies and the 4th for capitalization. The analysis was carried out on the reports issued on companies belonging to the Ftse Mib stock index during a period of 5 years. It aims to analyse the composition of the equity research system in Italy as well as the analysts' ability to properly evaluate the stocks' fair price, so as to test their degree of reliability and detect possible anomalies in recommendations to the investors.

  • Comparison Methodology
    COMPARISON METHODOLOGY Comparative Analysis of Sustainability Performance Convinced that a comparison of environmental, social and governance performance is of interest, not only to the Company itself, but also to its stakeholders, certain comparisons between Terna’s results and those of other companies are included in the 2015 Sustainability Report, as was the case in previous years. The comparative sustainability indicators regard the following themes: CO2 emissions, SF6 leakage incidence rate, hours of training per capita provided to employees and the turnover rate on termination of personnel. Listed below are the main criteria adopted in the analysis, as an introduction to the reading and interpretation of the comparisons of individual indicators in the Report: • three panels of companies were identified: the first was composed of the European transmission system operators and the major non-European operators in terms of kilometres of lines managed; the second, multi-sectoral in nature, is made up of large Italian companies (the 40 listed companies of the FTSE MIB at 31/12/2015); the third formed by the best international performers in the “Electric Utilities - ELC” sector (identified by the RobecoSAM sustainability rating agency and included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index of September 2015). The purpose of the three panels is to guarantee, also relative to the type of indicator reviewed, a comparison between companies with the same operational characteristics, an Italian comparison, and a comparison with top international performers in the same sector; • the companies considered from among those in the three panels were those which publicise the information necessary for comparisons either on their websites, through the Sustainability Report (even if not prepared following the GRI guidelines) or through other documentation (HSE Report, Financial Report, etc.).
