The Borneo Company Limited:The Origins of a Nineteenth Century Networked Multinational
The origins of British-based trading companies are to be found in the international mercantile networks which linked together Britain's commercial centres with the rest of the world during the nineteenth century. One such network, drawing together participants with operations in Singapore and Sarawak, was formalized under the title of The Borneo Company Limited (BCL) between 1851 and 1856. To function effectively, these inter-personal networks of merchants required a high degree of trustworthiness among the participants in order to overcome principal/agent problems, since direct supervision from the headquarters in London was not feasible. However, in order to expand, it was necessary to widen the circle of network participants and to incorporate new types of competence. This contribution analyses the early history of BCL with a view to understanding the way in which the process of growth was managed, distinguishing between three different types of expansion: engaging in production as well as trade; extending the geographical scope of the organization; and diversifying into new markets
SO(10) Yukawa Unification after the First Run of the LHC
In this talk we discuss SO(10) Yukawa unification and its ramifications for
phenomenology. The initial constraints come from fitting the top, bottom and
tau masses, requiring large and particular values for soft
SUSY breaking parameters. We perform a global analysis, fitting the
recently observed `Higgs' with mass of order 125 GeV in addition to fermion
masses and mixing angles and several flavor violating observables. We discuss
two distinct GUT scale boundary conditions for soft SUSY breaking masses. In
both cases we have a universal cubic scalar parameter, . In the first case
we consider universal gaugino masses, and universal scalar masses, ,
for squarks and sleptons; while in the latter case we have non-universal
gaugino masses and either universal scalar masses, , for squarks and
sleptons or D-term splitting of scalar masses. We discuss the spectrum of SUSY
particle masses and consequences for the LHC.Comment: 12 pages, talk presented at the VIIth International Conference on
