TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explain why VCs seek very high rates of return that are so out of line with the returns required of established firms, based on differences of opinion between an overly optimistic entrepreneur and a less sanguine VC.
Abstract: Entrepreneurs who deal with a venture capital firm (VC) for the first time often find themselves unprepared for the experience. The financing terms (deal structure), which specify the percentage of the firm’s common stock that goes to the VC often require that the entrepreneur forfeit a large proportion of the firm’s equity to the VC. The resulting ownership share is important but it is not the only determinant of the cash distribution rights conferred on the venture capitalist. Specifically, the entrepreneur often grants the VC control rights (the right to fill board seats, voting privileges of a common stockholder even though the VC holds preferred stock or debt, etc.) as well as liquidation rights (the right to be repaid before the common stockholders in the event of the sale or liquidation of the firm) that are not conveyed to the holders of common stock. Consequently, to fully understand the financing terms offered by the VC, the entrepreneur must not only account for cash flow rights, but must also incorporate consideration for control rights and liquidation rights. In this paper we attempt to explain why VCs seek very high rates of return that are so out of line with the returns required of established firms. Our explanation hinges on differences of opinion between an overly optimistic entrepreneur and a less sanguine VC.

TL;DR: An extensive computational study on uncapacitated multiechelon production planning problems with serial and assembly types of bill-of-material structures suggests the best approach for each type of problem structure.
Abstract: In this article we try to identify appropriate solution procedures for different types of multiechelon production planning problems. We conduct an extensive computational study on uncapacitated multiechelon production planning problems with serial and assembly types of bill-of-material structures. Problems are formulated as both single-source fixed charge network problems and as multicommodity flow problems with fixed charges. Solution procedures considered are branch and cut, Lagrangean relaxation (for the network formulation), and branch and bound (for the multicommodity formulation). Three hundred problems with various problem structures are tested. Our conclusions suggest the best approach for each type of problem structure.

TL;DR: The authors examined the issue of student mobility between two European host countries, namely Germany and France and a leading source country, namely India, and identified factors that drive the demand for higher education in these alternative destinations and elements that have contributed to their growing visibility among Indian students.
Abstract: The development of European policies on higher education in the last two decades has facilitated and encouraged (inward) non-European student mobility. This paper examines the issue of student mobility between two European host countries, namely Germany and France and a leading source country, namely India.Often regarded as the “middle players”, the paper identifies factors that drive the demand for higher education in these alternative destinations and elements that have contributed to their growing visibility among Indian students. The paper draws on findings from a recently conducted survey on Indian students in Europe to also identify the challenges associated with pursuing higher education in Germany and France. The paper further examines the role of competition and its impact on the international competitiveness of these destinations and concludes with policy recommendations, which can facilitate international student flows to Germany and France.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the main effect of two client focused variables, namely, competence-based trust and client dependence on vendor satisfaction; they also explored whether social control moderate the main effects relationships.
Abstract: Purpose With the growth in outsourcing it is imperative to understand the vendor’s satisfaction with IT outsourcing relationships since contractual and relationship factors affect the ability of vendors and clients to work together over time. A recent study demonstrated that relational factors such as trust and information exchange dominated in their ability to explain client satisfaction when compared to contractual factors. The purpose of this paper is to further examine how the relational factors work together to lead to vendor satisfaction in an outsourcing relationship. Design/methodology/approach A survey was developed and pre-tested with vendors in India and client firms in the USA that used international IT vendors. Using data collected from 214 vendor firms in the Indian subcontinent the paper examines the main effect of two client focused variables, namely, competence-based trust and client dependence on vendor satisfaction; it also explores whether social control moderate the main effect relationships. Findings The findings indicate that client dependence and competence-based trust were significant direct predictors of vendor satisfaction. Social control or the ability to resolve conflicts positively moderated the effect client dependence on vendor satisfaction. But it did not impact the effect of competence-based trust on vendor satisfaction. Research limitations/implications The authors identify three limitations: a dyadic analysis using both the client and the vendor perspective would have provided a richer understanding of the relationship; since the data were collected on a cross-sectional basis, it is hard to make predictive assessments; and a limited response rate. Practical implications These findings help us understand the factors that impact vendor satisfaction in an outsourcing relationship and this is one of the keys to maintaining a long-term relationship between transacting parties. Originality/value Previous studies have explored the relational aspects of a vendor-client interaction from the client’s point of view and, here, the authors take the vendor’s perspective, which is increasingly important due to the increasing complexity of work outsourced. Besides exploring the direct effect competence-based trust and client dependence on vendor satisfaction, the authors also analyze the role of social control as a moderator.
