Having more potential raiders weakens the takeover threat

RMIT Raiders

The RMIT Raiders team is composed of three custom-made robots and one Pioneer robot. The most signi cant feature of the custom platform is a powerful kicking device, which proved itself in the rst game by kicking a goal from the centre of the eld. Compared with previous competitions, our custom robots were much more reliable and the batteries lasted much longer. The strategic component of the s...

Raiders of the lost spacetime

Spacetime as we know and love it is lost in most approaches to quantum gravity. For many of these approaches, as inchoate and incomplete as they may be, one of the main challenges is to relate what they take to be the fundamental non-spatiotemporal structure of the world back to the classical spacetime of GR. The present essay investigates how spacetime is lost and how it may be regained in one...

Raiders of the Lost AdS

We demonstrate that under certain conditions a theory of conformal quantum mechanics will exhibit the symmetries of two halfVirasoro algebras. We further demonstrate the conditions under which these algebras combine to form a single Virasoro algebra, and comment on the connection between this result and the AdS2/CFT1 correspondence. e-mail address:[email protected]

Discipline or Disruption? Stakeholder Relationships and the Effect of Takeover Threat

Although a sizable literature suggests that shareholders prefer greater vulnerability to takeovers because it reduces agency problems, the threat of takeovers can also impose ex ante costs on firms by adversely affecting important stakeholders, such as major customers. In this paper, we find that for firms with corporate customers as important stakeholders, a reduction in the threat of takeover...
