Businesses and financial decision making framework

important steps to present you research paper by Meziane Lasfer- tlemcen workshop april,2016

Vous l'avez forcément constaté : le monde change. Après la crise économique et financière de 2009-2010 ainsi que les révolutions qui ont éclaté en Tunisie, en Égypte, ou en Lybie, les choses ne seront jamais plus les mêmes. Plus qu'une remise en cause politique de régimes totalitaires, c'est un appel des citoyens à exercer réellement leur droit à décider de leur avenir. Dans ce contexte, les entreprises doivent réfléchir à leurs valeurs et à leur stratégie. La géopolitique influence les entrepreneurs à tous les niveaux : il est indispensable de comprendre le monde qui vous entoure pour réussir dans toutes les initiatives entrepreneuriales. Et pour mieux appréhender ces changements et la façon dont-ils peuvent changer votre quotidien, l'analyse et le point de vue de Meziane Lasfer, professeur de finance à Cass Business School de Londres.

The social networking company Facebook held its initial public offering (IPO) in May this year. The IPO was one of the biggest in technology, and the biggest in Internet history, with a peak market capitalisation of over $104 billion. Facebook began trading and opened at $42.05 per share. However despite all the media hype surrounding the IPO and various technical problems at Nasdaq causing a delay in its first day of trading, stocks almost remained unchanged and closed at $38.23. With a huge volume of more than 500 million shares, stocks continuing to fall below its IPO price and at the end of May stocks even fell below $30 for the first time. It left Facebook facing many disgruntled shareholders and dozens of lawsuits. But what was the reasoning behind such a massive IPO failure? Professor of Finance, Meziane Lasfer reveals the six definitive reasons to why Facebook's IPO failed including investor trading and the role of investment banks.
