The Linguistic Integration of Adult Migrants / L’intégration linguistique des migrants adultes

This volume provides a comprehensive report on a symposium organised by the Council of Europe (Strasbourg) in 2016 in the context of its human rights agenda. Its purpose was to explore some of the ways in which scientific evidence can inform the development and implementation of policy and practice designed to support the linguistic integration of adult migrantsLa présente publication rend compte d’un symposium organisé en 2016 par le Conseil de l’Europe, à Strasbourg, dans le cadre de ses programmes sur les droits de l’homme. L’objectif de ce symposium était d’explorer comment les apports de la recherche scientifique peuvent orienter l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre de politiques et de pratiques destinées à favoriser l’intégration linguistique des migrants adultes

La reaction du marche boursier Canadien suite a la declaration des transactions d'actions des inities dans le SEDI

Le but de cette recherche est d’étudier la réaction du marché boursier canadien lorsque les opérations d’achat et de vente effectuées par les différents initiés sont déclarées dans le SEDI. Les résultats montrent que seules les ventes de certaines catégories d’initiés signalent de l’information négative au marché pendant la période 2006-2008. Ils nous permettent aussi d’affirmer que les transactions boursières des dirigeants-administrateurs de l’émetteur influencent plus le marché que celles des dirigeants- administrateurs d’une filiale de l’émetteur. Enfin, d’après nos résultats, il semble que la réaction du marché suite aux opérations boursières d’initiés peut être influencée par la tendance du marché boursier (haussier ou baissier) qui prévaut pendant la période de l’étude

Empirical research in consumer information privacy concern online: a review and critical assessment

Marketers, in search of profitable customer relationships, require increasing amounts of personal information, yet consumers regularly express concern about their privacy. Investigations into consumer privacy concern in offline contexts exhibit inconsistencies in specification of a privacy concern construct. Application of those fragmented understandings to new contexts such as online transactions has resulted in confusion, an inability to compare results and irregular nomological networks. The objective of this paper is to provide an integrative review of empirical research on consumer online information privacy concern to provide conceptual clarification in order to facilitate future research into online privacy concerns

Empirical evaluation of a heuristic approach to value investing: an examination of S&P/TSX 60 from 2006-2010

Heuristics are useful practical tools for cutting through the complex confluence of uncertainty, limited information and bounded rationality. A disciplined use of heuristics can help to overcome the tendency for cognitive biases to creep in to investment decision making. A simple heuristic is developed based on a parsimonious set of firm characteristics and decision rules. This heuristic is then applied to the S&P/TSX 60 group of companies. Analysis of the data shows that the portfolio that is picked from this group by the heuristic has desirable descriptive statistics of a genuine value portfolio

On the quantification of strategic management: an algebraic approach to the referencing, comparison and evaluation of business strategies

This article addresses the quantitative limitations that arise from attempting to compare and assess business strategies prior to implementation. Recent advances in the strategic management literature have led to taxonomies of stakeholder-based business strategies which lend themselves to quantification ex ante implementation. These quantifiable strategies enable strategic analysts to enumerate compare and evaluate potential strategies with one another, within and potentially across firm boundaries, a contribution which enhances the strategic management literature using four distinct metrics
