Comment on Fee split etiquette by Wafik

Good point regarding the guarantees. I’ve heard of some agencies offering to split a fee with another agency but never splitting a fee with an individual. Most of the time they offer a finders fee once the placement has passed probation.

Great reading. Very useful.

I particularly like #6 in this post. It’s relatively easy to do, and gives SO much in return.

Comment on Ultimate Holding Company by Paul Zagoridis

@Thinking sorry I missed replying to your comment. I initially wanted to consider my reply and then I forgot about it.

I donâ€™t think Economics put itâ€™s mark on globalization rather than the other way around. When I did my undergraduate work we were talking about the mainly theoretical impact Asia and the Eastern block would have on manufacturing and service provision in the First World.

The definitions we used at the time were interesting: First World, Second World, Third World.

Either way I too envy my kids, or at least the opportunities they will have. But I think thatâ€™s normal for forward looking optimistic people.

Comment on Ultimate Holding Company by Paul Zagoridis

Hi M.Iqbal

This is not legal advice…

Company C is the Ultimate Holding Company (UHC) of Company B.

The situation with company A is trickier. The answer is “it depends”.

If B owned 50% plus one share of A then C would be the UHC.

An ultimate holding company cannot be a subsidiary of another company.

Company B/C can exercise control of company A if it can

appoint A’s Board of Directors;
has more than half the voting power at a general meeting; or
owns more than half the issued capital of A.

So at 50% ownership it is a related company. If B or C cannot appoint the board, or carry a general vote then A does not have an ultimate holding company.

Hi,
If a company A is 50% owned by company a company B which is itself 51.1% by company C, would it be right to say that company C is the ultimate holding company A?

Comment on E MBA bloggers don’t update often by Paul Zagoridis

Paul Zagoridis — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 02:59:16 +0000

hehehe during orientation, the group leader went through about 20 alternative meanings of MBA. That one struck me the most.

I think the other reason MBA’s are a time of job and relationship upheaval is firstly the course encourages a lot of self reflection and understanding.

Secondly the more prosaic explanation. The age for most MBA entrants, at 8-10 years work experience it puts them in their early to mid 30’s. This is a prime divorce and career change time.

Hi Mark

Thanks for the comment. Strangely I fount this quant subject very practical. Normally when I forecast I create three scenarios: optimistic, pessimistic and neutral, based on modifying the basic assumptions. This course gave me a new set of skills to use.

I did regressions in my undergraduate days I did not understand them at all. I’m not sure I’ll use regression in future forecasts because excel does not make them easy to set up, I’d like to believe I will at least attempt it.

One of the biggest take-home behaviours I learned in the qualitative Managing People and Organisations course was to measure my decision making effectiveness. i.e. track how often and to what degree my guesses and decisions are accurate as a way of improving my decision making processes.

I’m integrating these quantitative data analysis concepts into the organizational behavior concepts.

One additional benefit is that I have a manufacturing background, but it’s sad how few quant concepts are used in the manufacturers I’ve worked with.
