actualité boursière, marché financier, économie française : Challenges

by jallatte

Selon le bureau d'études Aurel reprenant les propos du journal chinois "South China Morning Post", le fonds souverain "China Investment Corp" s'intéresserait aux groupes de luxe afin d'y prendre une participation pouvant aller jusqu'à 10% du capital. Les groupes LVMH, PPR et Richemont sont notamment cités.

Une telle éventualité sera regardée avec attention par les actionnaires majoritaires de ces groupes. D'un coté, ils seront sans doute réticents de voir un unique actionnaire détenir une part significative de leur capital avec l'incertitude sur la durée de la détention des actio ns et d'un autre coté, au regard du poids grandissant des consommateurs chinois dans leurs chiffre d'affaires respectifs, il peut s'agir d'une occasion pour tisser des relations étroites avec les autorités chinoises et saisir des opportunités de développement, explique le broker.

Mobile Technologies: From Telecommunications to Media

by karlcow

In light of emerging forms of software, interfaces, cultures of uses, and media practices associated with mobile media, this collection investigates the various ways in which mobile media is developing in different cultural, linguistic, social, and national settings. We consider the promises and politics of mobile media and its role in the dynamic social and gender relations configured in the boundaries between public and private spheres.

I'll be back, from Bangkok, in a few days.

I'll avoid the crushing sentimentality that comes with such a move and just say thanks to all my friends, and to this great country. It's been a fascinating six -and-a-half years. I'll miss you, China. But that's for another time.
