The doctoral degree — Doctor of Philosophy, abbreviated to PhD, Ph.D. or D.Phil — is an advanced academic degree awarded by most of top-tier universities. In general, across Europe and North America the PhD or equivalent has become a frequent career requirement in science, technology, or even finance. Of course it had always been a requirement for acceding to a professorship at a university. In Switzerland, doctoral programs vary at the 12 top Swiss universities.

Recognized PhD titles are only awarded by these 12 official universities. Universities of applied sciences do not award doctorates. Usually the prospective doctoral student must have his research work accepted by a professor at one of the 12 universities.

PhD work is started immediately after the master theses (students are usually 25 – 28 years of age). On average, PhD candidates finish at 31. Unlike elsewhere in Europe, Swiss PhD candidates are supposed to start on their research project right away; classes are usually dispensed with. In this manner, Swiss PhD programs resemble more an autonomous work environment than they do an educational institution.

As is largely the case with the rest of the EU, you cannot enroll in a PhD program without a recognized Masters degree. Further, each university has its own admission requirements. The duration of doctoral studes/projects is nonstandard and can vary from between 2 – 6 years depending on the chosen field of research. While PhDs in sciences can often be accomplished in 4 years, PhDs in the arts and humanities can often take 4 to 6 years or longer.

Candidates for a PhD typically sign on as research assistants/PhD-candidate at a university; occasionally some students manage to obtain a research position with an international company and attach their project to a University. Salaries vary significantly with some slots paying as little as CHF 2000 and other paying more than CHF 6000.
It depends on the source of the funding. Further, working conditions will vary from institution to institution. Doctoral candidates are usually employed part-time and sometimes the remaining time can be used for research; other times the PhD candidate is required to give lectures or to supervise students. The contract will specify this.
If you are employed less than 100%, you are legally free to do use the remaining ime as you please, for example by taking on a second job, a common occurrence with candidates from the arts and humanities.

The top Swiss universities are:
1 ) EPFL, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne www.epfl.ch
2 ) ETHZ, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich www.epfz.ch
3 ) University of Basel www.unibas.ch
4 ) University of Bern www.unibe.ch
5 ) University of Fribourg www.unifr.ch
6 ) University of Geneva www.unige.ch
7 ) University of Lausanne www.unil.ch
8 ) University of Lucerne www.unilu.ch
9 ) University of Neuchâtel www.unine.ch

Here is another Workplace Survival Guide written by an expert employment lawyer, T J McHugh.
How to Beat Your Boss helps you understand where you really stand as an employee, and answer questions such as “I hate my boss. Should I resign?” or “Can my boss really treat me like that?” . Psychopaths in the workplace are a very real, very common and grossly underestimated phenomenon. They can be bosses or co-workers. Most victims don’t understand what is happening to them until things have gotten way out of control.

Let’s finish with a funny though cynic novel about  daily work. It is set in an advertising agency in Chicago.
Joshua Ferris’s Then We Came To The End takes a sustained interest in the idea of the working environment and its potential to alter the behaviour of the people caught up in it.

Here is an excerpt: “We were fractious and overpaid. Our mornings lacked promise. At least those of us who smoked had something to look forward to at ten-fifteen. [...] Ordinarily jobs came in and we completed them in a timely and professional manner. Sometimes fuckups did occur. Printing errors, transposed numbers.Our business was advertising and details were important. If the third number after the second hyphen in a client’s toll-free number was a six instead of an eight, and if it went to print like that, and showed up in Time magazine, no one reading the ad could call now and order today. No matter they could go to the website, we still had to eat the price of the ad. Is this boring you yet? It bored us every day.Our boredom was ongoing, a collective boredom, and it would never die because we would never die.”
As Joshua writes, “it is really irritating to work with irritating people” !

For those you prefer to watch an online workspace odysee, have a look at an original webseries The Cube Life!
You will realize that some places or colleagues can be worse than yours.

Researchers in the Netherlands have conducted a study among 1500 women across various professions to determine the frequency with which sex enters into the workplace.

In Holland, the studies found that more than one-third of women had had a sexual relationship with a colleague at work (other than their habitual partner if their partner works at the same company).

90% of those surveyed said that at least one of their work colleagues attracted them physically. Roughly 15% of those surveyed responded that they would be capable of using sex to obtain a promotion, with the reservation expressed that their boss attracted them.

In response to the question, “how would you react to a colleague putting his hands on your backside,” 3 in 10 responded that it depended on which colleague took this particular liberty.

Similar studies in the UK reveal that more than 1 in 3 female professionals have had a sexual relationship with a colleague at work, with 16 % of surveyed women indicating that they could be inclined to sleep with the boss for a promotion.

In France, roughly 25% of women have indicated having had a sexual relationship with a colleague at work and 14% of women surveyed indicated that they could conceivably sleep with the boss to secure a promotion.

Interestingly, the authors of these studies consistently focus on women. No studies have yet been published indicating what percentage of men would we willing to sleep with the boss in order to secure a promotion.

Dans bien des corps de métiers, on relève un manque de motivation, un sentiment de frustration, de la fatigue, du stress contre-productif, une pression destructrice, etc. Force est de constater que la perte d’initiative et la perte de créativité sont générales, ce qui a des conséquences humaines mais aussi économiques, que cela soit pour l’entreprise ou la société.

Il est grand temps que les cadres dirigeants prennent en compte cette réalité et s’attaquent aux systèmes qui conduisent à de tels gâchis. Il faut remettre de l’envie dans les organisations, donner aux hommes et aux femmes des raisons de « se bouger », de s’impliquer. Le salarié a besoin d’être écouté pour se sentir entendu. Si ce n’est pas par pur philantropie, le jeu en vaut la chandelle d’un point de vue économique car les performances sont bien meilleures quand les employés ont le sentiment d’avoir prise sur leur travail au lieu d’une exécution passive…

Face au développement général du stress et des tensions au travail, les approches traditionnelles de la communication interne sont totalement dépassées. Il ne suffit plus d’avoir de bons outils (intranet, conventions, etc.), il faut d’abord et surtout avoir une vraie stratégie, ce qui , presque partout, fait encore cruellement défaut… Peut-être faut-il commencer par donner une vision, une direction claire à l’enteprise et “l’intendance suivra”, pour reprendre l’expression du brillant général !

The return to profitability of the financial sector — even if only a fictional result of massive and sustained printing of new money — is resulting in a new optimism and a renewed wave of hiring.

Financial news services in Switzerland are all reporting a sharp rise in the number
of job vacancies between June 2009 and May 2010, with UBS and Credit Suisse accounting for the majority of new jobs and employment opportunities (consultancies have also risen but are not counted in the figures).

On the other hand, the survey show stagnation in the insurance industry. According to the financial news agencies banks are increasing their staff because they have lowered their overall operating costs. In the insurance industry, such cost restructuring has not yet taken place.

Meanwhile the Swiss government accord with the USA for the handover of UBS accounts to the American tax authorities is set for approval by the Swiss parliament, despite the agreement’s being illegal under Swiss law. Many representatives in Swiss parliament expressed frustration at having to choose between foreign engagements undertaken by the executive and Swiss law.

Nous vous conseillons une envolée d’air frais cynico-comique:
Le film Up in the Air réalisé par Jason Reitman avec “What Else”, désormais disponible en DVD.

L’histoire raconte la vie en l’air de Ryan Bingham, un spécialiste du licenciement à qui les entreprises font appel pour “remercier” leur personnel sans salir leurs cols blancs…

Notre ange exterminateur est un collectionneur obsessionnel de miles aériens cumulés lors de ses innombrables déplacements professionnels; son but est d’atteindre les 10 millions de miles.

Superficiel et suffisant, Ryan va tout de même tomber amoureux d’une businesswoman rencontrée lors d’un de ses nombreux voyages et avec qui il entretient une relation au gré de ses escales.

Parallèlement, il apprend que ses méthodes de travail vont devoir évoluer et qu’il n’aura plus besoin de voyager car désormais les licenciements seront centralisés et se feront en ligne, par vidéo conférence.

Le film allie une bonne dose d’humour décalé et de cynisme sur les relations de passage et sur la cessation des rapports de travail…

Enchaînons avec 2 autres films récents en lien avec le monde du travail.

A l’origine réalisé par Xavier Giannoli.
Philippe Miller est un escroc solitaire qui vit sur les routes. Un jour, il découvre par hasard un chantier d’autoroute abandonné, arrêté depuis des année  suite à cause du combat d’écologistes pour sauver des scarabées.
L’arrêt des travaux a été une catastrophe économique pour les habitants de cette région.
Philippe y voit la chance de réaliser sa plus belle escroquerie. Mais son mensonge va vite lui échapper.
Le film montre comment un manager apparaissant comme crédible peut faire suivre l’intendance en lui donnant envie de contribuer au succès de l’entreprise…

Le couperet réalisé par Costa-Gavras.
Bruno Davert est un cadre très supérieur dans une usine de papier.
Après avoir été licencié, il est prêt à tout pour retrouver un poste à son niveau.
Il passe une petite annonce dans un journal spécialisé, se faisant passer pour un chef d’entreprise, disant qu’il recherche quelqu’un ayant les mêmes qualifications que lui, et récolte leurs CV.  Grâce aux coordonnées des postulants, il va pouvoir éliminer ses concurrents un par un mais tout n’est pas aussi simple pour décrocher un bon travail…

Management is art and it is science:

It is the art of making people more effective than they would have been without you.
The science is in how you manage to do that.

There are basic pillars:

• Goal to achieve: define the target and figure out the best way to get there.
• Analyse : What are your resources ? What can you get? Compare strengths and weaknesses of individuals. Look at all the probable scenarios and evaluate your different plans and develop what seems to be the best option. Don’t forget to ask the people doing the work for their input and also think of the worse case scenario.
• Plan: Good management starts with good prior planning and the track record of accomplishments are part of your success.
• Organize: Do the legwork to make sure everything needed to execute the plan is ready to go, or will be when required. Check back to make sure that everyone understands their role and the importance of their contribution to the overall success. Conveying motivation is the key of your future success.
• Direct: Tell people what they need to do and coordinate the actions.
• Monitor: You have to keep an eye on your staff, checking that everything is going according to the plan; you might have to step in to adjust the plan whenever necessary.
• Don’t relax your attention: Problems will come up: someone will get sick or be dismissed; an element won’t be delivered on time; our accounting department won’t have paid an invoice on time, etc. That is why you need to have a contingency plan developed in the first place. You, as the manager, have to be always aware of what’s going on so you can make the adjustments required.

Management is an iterative process:

When something is out of sync, you need to fix it, organize the resources to make it work, direct the people who will make it happen, and continue to monitor the effect of the change.

Managing is necessary:

Managing people is not easy but can be a very rewarding experience.
Like any other skill, management is something that you can improve with study and practice.

Are managers linchpins?

“Management 101″ says any organization other than a small, family-run business should have as corporate policy to ensure there are no linchpins in the organization… Well, I would say that good managers are linchpins while bad managers are flat tires which can lead to accidents!

• 8 Things Your Employees Want From You

Les RH vont demander aux “têtes de” (“head of“) de définir quelles sont les “KPHP” (key player with high potential) parmi leurs équipes. Êtes-vous un “linchpin” (pivot, goupille) jouant un rôle essentiel au sein de votre entreprise? Si oui, vous avez davantage de chances d’obtenir une augmentation ou un bonus à moins que votre esprit non conformiste ne menace la paix de l’entreprise…

Je vous invite à lire l’ouvrage de Seth Godin, Linchpin, Are You Indispensable? sur cette catégorie de professionnels capables de mener la barque contre vents et marées. Faites-vous partie de ces précieux marins qui rament avec énergie et combattent l’inertie ambiante afin d’atteindre l’objectif suprême: gagner ou satisfaire de nouveaux clients, donc engranger de l’argent et faire flotter le navire encore un bon moment!

La société  et les entreprises ont besoin de personnes indépendantes et non conformistes. “Society does not reward blind rule-following, but instead requires linchpins who do not have maps telling them what to do next. This is difficult, as we are conditioned by society to follow the status quo and to fit in. Linchpins understand this, and must continually fight off the tendency to give-up, conform and to take the easy path by simply following the rules“. Faites-vous partie de la résistance? Êtes-vous visionnaires?

Godin associe les personnes essentielles à des artistes qui challengent le statu quo, génèrent ainsi une plus-value et deviennent alors indispensables. Pour  Seth, “art is the ability to change people with your work, to see thing as they are and then create stories, images, and interactions that change the marketplace.”

Ce bouquin est un véritable manifeste sur comment devenir indispensable. Malgré ce qu’a pu vous dire vous votre chef, vos collègues ou amis, vous pouvez choisir d’être une personne clé, un génie qui réussit dans la tourmente de la nouvelle économie. En étant reconnu comme un linchpin, on n’osera plus vous dénigrer ou vous sous-payer. Hélas, devenir indispensable n’est pas facile et si ça l’était, ce n’aurait plus de valeur…

Le danger de tout collaborateur est de ne pas être un personne indispensable car elle devient alors remplaçable.

Laissez-vous guider par ce gourou aux exemples assurément amusants comme le chapitre “Anxiety and Shenpa” qui parle de cerveau reptilien de sagesse tibétaine: “Embrace your lizard brain. It’s the source of understanding why you’re in a job that sucks.”

Switzerland’s bank secrecy laws forbids financial institutions and intermediaries from transmitting to third parties information about customers. The law dates to 1934 — Article 47 of the Federal Law on Banks and Savings Banks, punishing transgressions with sentences ranging up to 3 years in prison and fines of up to 250,000 francs. Bank secrecy is also a part of contract law, transgressions liable to civil action.

In March 2009 a minor revolution took place with the federal council of Switzerland — its executive — changing the juridic landscape and and modifying the legal framework to conform to Article 26 of the Model Tax Convention of the OECD. The Swiss people have not yet had an opportunity to vote on and ratify or reject the changes made by the executive council of federal government.

Late last month, the Swiss federal government also announced its intention to prohibit the filing in Switzerland of foreign funds not registered with their authority to regulate and tax ‘gray’ money, by which is usually meant undeclared funds.

Banking secrecy exists in several other jurisdictions besides Switzerland, such as the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Virgin Islands, …,the State of Delaware in the United States, the Bahamas, Andorra, Liechtenstein, and Singapore. Historians claim that Switzerland’s 1934 banking secrecy law was motivated by commercial interests and the interests of tax competition.

Up until its recent repudiation, banking secrecy laws were lifted in some cases, particularly in the context of criminal proceedings, and requests for mutual administrative or judicial. Such requests originated from foreign authorities and targeted a specific customer identified in a designated bank. They were motivated usually by investigation for fraud or money laundering. The recent upsets in Swiss jurisprudence now allow for routine requests from foreign authorities for simple tax evasion or undeclared funds on account.

The lines in the sand have been in continuous movement, with a bewildered, unfocused and irresolute Swiss government currently holding out for a non-automatic exchange of information. At this point Switzerland has agreed to communicate information on request to foreign authorities, but not to send it ‘automatically.’ Similarly, Switzerland has not yet agreed to provide information in transactions known as “fishing expeditions,” where a foreign authority asks for a list of customers without any particular criminal suspicions.

Prior to 2009, Swiss law distinguished between tax evasion and fraud. Therefore administrative assistance was granted only for cases in which fraud was at issue. The simple concealment of funds was not considered a pursuable offense. However, part of the enormous changes that have taken place in Switzerland over the past 12 months are the abolition of this distinction: now the simple neglect to declare funds to a taxing authority, whatever the amount, is considered to be actionable.

Many Swiss-based financiers comment that Switzerland has missed a golden opportunity to strengthen itself as a global financial center, arguing that the OECD’s placement of Switzerland on a ‘gray’ list would be toothless, and would have the added advantage, opposite the intentions of its drafters, of driving great quantities of funds into Switzerland. Most of Switzerland’s banking and financial community does not understand why the government rushed to comply with the OECD’s directives; and many are openly calling the competence of government leaders into question, with councilor Hans Rudolf Merz in particular being singled out for ridicule and contempt in many Swiss newspapers.

Under pressure from the OECD, Switzerland undertook in March 2009 to revise its double taxation agreements with states asking for administrative assistance in accordance with Article 26 of the Model Tax Convention of OECD. Negotiating 12 revised conventions have allowed Switzerland to be removed from the OECD’s ‘gray list’ and receive the gold star of their approval. In fact Switzerland she has renegotiated more than this number of conventions. Additionally, within the generally cloudy juridic context and a weak, uncertain Swiss government, many other scandals have shaken the Swiss banking environment.

In December 2009, an employee at HSBC in Geneva gave French authorities bank data on taxpayers with hidden accounts in Switzerland. Thus France obtained through espionage a list of some 3,000 alleged tax evaders, which it intends to prosecute. It is also free to transmit this data to other States. In February 2010, Germany purchased for Euro 2.5 million another stolen list, containing the data bank of 1500 German taxpayers with accounts mainly at Credit Suisse, apparently stolen by a German national working at the Bank.

Meanwhile, the banking and finance sector in Switzerland has suffered a massive exodus of funds and general panic as the legal environment appears to change from week to week.

The Swiss Bankers Association (SBA) has tried to counter the government’s concessions with a proposal for a “final tax, or withholding tax that the banks would levy and disburse to foreign tax authorities, while ensuring the anonymity of their clients. Compared to existing bilateral agreements with the European Union, this proposed system would extend the tax base to dividends and capital gains. The European Union is not interested in this, but rather seeking the automatic exchange of information.

Seeking to avoid at all costs an automatic exchange of information but apparently unable to formulate such a stance on generally accepted notions of national sovereignty, the government said just recently in late February that it intended to prohibit the placement in Switzerland of foreign funds that had not been duly reported to their country’s tax authorities and that going forward ‘gray’ money would be strictly regulated. The methods for achieving these new goals were not elaborated.

With each new successive demand, the Swiss government has given in and renegotiated previous accords and treaties in place.

Automatic exchange of information would effectively remove the last vestiges that remain of Swiss bank secrecy.

Aujourd’hui, nous allons parler du principe satirique relatif à l’organisation hiérarchique: le célèbre Principe de Peter et son corollaire: « Avec le temps, tout poste sera occupé par un incompétent incapable d’en assumer la responsabilité.»

Dans une entreprise, les employés compétents sont promus et les incompétents restent à leur place. Vous me rétorquerez peut-être que dans votre société, les employés compétents stagnent à leur place, tout comme les incompétents ou que ces derniers s’élèvent dans la hiérarchie. Eh bien, c’est sans doute parce que les incompétents ont été promus dans un premier temps avant d’arriver à leur vitesse de croisière (quand il n’y a pas de vent)…

Aussi, un employé compétent grimpe-t-il dans les hautes sphères de son entreprise jusqu’à atteindre un poste pour lequel il ne sera pas compétent — si ce n’est pas déjà le cas au départ. À ce stade, il devient donc un incompétent qui va occuper son poste indéfiniment. Il va également faire en sorte de ne pas être démasqué en empêchant l’ascension de certains pairs qui pourraient mettre en danger sa planque professionnelle.

Résumons :
- un incompétent conserve son poste (grâce à sa stratégie de survie);
- un employé compétent promu est remplacé par un autre employé, potentiellement incompétent ;
- si le nouvel employé est compétent, il sera promu et remplacé à son tour par un nouvel employé jusqu’à ce que le poste échoie à un incompétent

Une extension ou extension aggravée du principe de Peter est appelée la Loi de Dilbert (du nom d’un personnage de BD créé par Scott Adams). Elle suppose que les employés les moins compétents seront toujours affectés aux postes où on est sûr qu’ils produiront le moins de dégâts, c’est-à-dire l’encadrement. Je sais, vous pensez tout de suite à votre chef direct, n’est-ce pas ? Si vous n’en n’avez pas, vous serez intéressé de savoir comment et par qui vous risquez d’être débusqué…

Laurence J. Peter relève que plus le nombre d’échelons hiérarchiques est élevé, plus chacun risque de subir « la stagnation de Peter ». Il remarque que les hiérarques, quand ils sont au sommet de leur niveau d’incompétence, se complaisent à fréquenter des réunions. Le corps des hiérarques peut alors entrer en « lévitation » sous le nom de « sommet volant ». Comment alors renverser un hiérarque incompétent ? Sachez que seul un hiérarque peut le faire. Mais la problématique est que par cet acte, il admet son incompétence à discerner le personnel compétent puisqu’on l’a laissé grimpé jusqu’au sommet. La solution réside dans le déplacement de la sous hiérarchie du personnel sous ses ordres. Le hiérarque à décapiter se retrouve alors seul à la tête d’une pyramide sans base, sur son « sommet volant ». Il est donc prêt à être destitué par un de ses homologues et à être remplacé par un clone !

Les solutions varient selon les cas :
- Pour un dirigeant constatant qu’il a des cadres supérieurs incompétents, il est conseillé de recourir à ce que l’on nomme la « sublimation percutante ». Cette manœuvre consiste à accorder à une personne incompétente une promotion vers un poste plus prestigieux en apparence, mais en fait à responsabilité très inférieure. Les titres proposés sont inversément proportionnels à leur contenu et à leur niveau de responsabilité. Si c’est en anglais, cela sera sans doute encore plus convaincant : XXX Coordinator, YYY Project Manager, etc.
- Pour les personnes constatant leur propre incompétence, Peter recommande diverses tactiques dont « spécialisation dans le détail » ou « l’aberration totale » qui consiste à arrêter d’essayer d’accomplir son travail. Ces méthodes ne sont pas nuisibles à l’entreprise ou l’organisation, du moment que toute organisation le travail est accompli par les personnes compétentes. Paradoxalement, ces stratégies sont bénéfiques à l’entreprise car les incompétents obnubilés ou amorphes gênent alors moins les travailleurs dans leurs tâches.

Poursuivons avec la loi de Parkinson qui affirme que « le travail s’étale de façon à occuper le temps disponible pour son achèvement ». Cette théorie était basée sur une longue expérience dans l’administration britannique où l’on avait constaté l’accroissement du nombre d’employés au Bureau des affaires coloniales malgré le déclin de l’Empire britannique. L’augmentation du nombre d’employés seraient dû à deux forces :
- « Un fonctionnaire entend multiplier ses subordonnés, pas ses rivaux » : il a une tendance naturelle à recruter quelqu’un de plus compétent que lui au moins dans un domaine, mais aussi à diviser le travail pour éviter d’être remis en cause par l’un de ses collaborateurs. Il crée ainsi des besoins de coordination interne, qui entrainent une charge de travail supplémentaire, puis l’embauche de collaborateurs supplémentaires. On construit ainsi un système « autarcique » qui va consommer, de manière endogène, une part croissante de l’énergie et des ressources disponibles.
- « Les fonctionnaires se créent mutuellement du travail ». Plus il y a de fonctionnaires, plus les demandes d’approbation qu’ils se communiquent mutuellement, ou tâches comparables, les occupent, de sorte que le travail accompli d’un point de vue extérieur par l’administration dans son ensemble n’augmente pas.

Cette tumeur bureaucratique ne se développe que s’il y a déficience en management. Pour y remédier, la seule solution réside dans l’ablation. Il faut donc qu’un manager décide de cette amputation, en supprimant les tâches qui se sont créées. L’externalisation est une des manières de procéder à cette ablation sans couper dans les effectifs. Notons au passage que bien des financiers valorisent l’externalisation en ne reconnaissant pas le temps et le travail nécessaire au suivi des externes par le personnel en interne.

Cyril Northcote Parkinson énonce que variable la plus significative du coefficient d’inefficacité d’un conseil d’administration est le nombre de ses membres… Je ne dirai pas pour autant que le fait de n’avoir que deux personnes à la tête d’un conseil d’administration garantisse une certaine efficacité, car rappelons-nous l’adage « qui se ressemble s’assemble »…

Terminons par la super-compétence qui est plus redoutable que l’incompétence, car tout super-compétent outrepasse ses fonctions et bouleverse alors la hiérarchie qui ne demande qu’à se maintenir. Si tel est votre cas, sachez que pour être renvoyé, il faut que les deux conditions suivantes soient réunies :
- la hiérarchie vous harcèle au point de vous empêcher de produire ;
- vous n’obéissez pas aux principes de « respect de la hiérarchie »

Il est préférable de se maintenir à un poste auquel on est compétent, non seulement dans l’intérêt de l’organisation où l’on travaille, mais aussi parce qu’être compétent à son poste est un facteur de bonheur personnel. Malheureusement, le refus d’une promotion est mal perçu par l’entourage. Espérons que notre « incompétence créatrice » nous permettra de rester à notre place sans risquer d’être sollicité dans de plus hautes sphères où l’on risque de se brûler les ailes, à moins que l’on excelle au point de profiter d’un parachute doré ignifuge.

Mergers and acquisitions in the European Community are expected to rise 20% over their 2009 levels.

Analysts are watching the takeover attempt of Cadbury by Kraft in the UK for $10.5 billion as a sign of events to come during 2010.

The last data coming from Mergermarket confirms the trend during the Q4 of 2009 toward acquisitions and mergers to grow market share, a key strategic wind shift from mergers of necessity related to the financial crisis to mergers of opportunity to achieve growth.

According to a survey published in December by Boston Consulting Group and UBS, roughly 20% of the managers surveyed indicated that they were planning a major merger operation for 2010. Merger activity is expected to be largest in the United States. More generally, analysts are expecting 2010 to mark the return to a more normal economic environment, using more traditional modes of financing and less risk.

For such consolidations and restructurings to occur, several factors need to be simultaneously present. First, there needs to be a realistic valuation of companies with an adequate balance of profits and reserves and the measure of taste for risk; a climate of confidence needs to return.

In this context, pharmaceutical companies or companies dealing in raw materials, or financial insitutions will be particularly active and an increasingly preponderant role will be played by companies operating in emerging economies.

Analysts also underline that financing of operations will rely on cash or exchange of stock, though the market expects several more months of cheap money during which time companies can finance their operations with cheap loans.

Les bonnes résolutions sont une coutume de la civilisation occidentale qui consiste, à l’occasion du passage à la nouvelle année le 1er janvier, à prendre un ou plusieurs engagements envers soi-même pour améliorer son comportement, une habitude ou son mode de vie durant l’année à venir.

Le site officiel du gouvernement américain propose même une liste des bonnes résolutions les plus populaires dans le cas où vous n’auriez pas d’inspiration…

Arrêter de fumer, perdre du poids, prendre du temps pour soi, apprendre une nouvelle langue, changer de travail… Vous venez sans doute de prendre vous aussi vos bonnes résolutions…

Mais comment parvenir à les concrétiser ?

Restez humble et réaliste
Ne multipliez pas les objectifs car c’est la meilleure manière de ne rien changer du tout au final.
Fixez-vous un but précis, imaginez comment le mettre en pratique et préparez-vous mentalement à tous les efforts que cela implique.

Admettez les difficultés
Il y a des objectifs plus ou moins difficiles à atteindre ou à maintenir. Parmi ceux-là: trouver un nouveau travail qui vous plaise et où vous êtes reconnu.

Soyez entreprenant
Etablissez un plan d’action concret, en y allant étape par étape: plutôt que de dire cette année, je trouverai un nouvel emploi, dites je vais écrire au minimum trois lettres de candidature par mois et réanimer mon réseau social.

Faites le point régulièrement
Il est bon de faire régulièrement un état des lieux par rapport aux difficultés rencontrées: quelles sont ses forces et ses faiblesses. Au besoin, n’hésitez pas à redéfinir vos objectifs.

Et si vous n’y arrivez pas
En cas d’échec, n’en faites pas une défaite personnelle. Tentez plutôt de trouver pourquoi vous n’avez pas réussi. Ce n’est sans doute que partie remise. De toute manière, rappelez-vous que seule résolution sur dix est encore d’actualité douze mois plus tard, selon une étude du professeur Richard Wiseman.

Testez votre probabilité de réussite en remplissant son questionnaire.

La clé du succès semble résider dans des objectifs réalistes qui nous tiennent à cœur, une évolution progressive et la communication de nos souhaits auprès de ceux qui nous entourent.

In 2008 while the lucrative holiday period drew near, luxury watch production had slowed, brought to heel by the global financial crisis. Since mid-2008, exports declined and unemployment rose, with notices of staff reductions being announced by large multinationals each month.

In Neuchatel where a large number of luxury brands are located, the manufacturer Ulysee Nardin had to fire 12% of its 25o man work force and produced at a slower rate.

But since September, according to the management, the ateliers are running at 100% with orders rising and the company has ended its practice of partial unemployment.

Ulysse Nardin has inaugurated a new boutique in Beijing and the Neuchatel-based luxury watch maker seems braced for renewed good times. The director of the company, Rolf Schnyder, recently stated recently that the company would end the year in the black, albeit with less profit than last year. 2008 had started off very well for the Ulysse Nardin but finished off badly. 2009 started off badly and has apparently finished well.

The Director’s prognostic is that the recession has ended and that growth has returned, with November sales 30% higher than those for November 2008.

Nonetheless, Mr. Schnyder believes that the United States will take much more time to recover, and their market is important for the luxury watch maker; that said, the importance of the US market has declined from 30% historically to currently 18%.

An unstated reason for the return to health is that the company is operating with a smaller workforce, which, for the moment, the company does not seem in a rush to rehire.

Additionally, with the rise in orders, their production capacities cannot keep up. The various subcontractors upon which the luxury brands depend – for watch casings, dials and other parts– let go substantial numbers of staff over the past year and do not have the resources to produce at the old capacity levels. They probably are also wary about too rapidly hiring back staff.

Also, despite the return of strong sales, the distribution of sales has nonetheless changed, with a marked decline in sales of super expensive pieces and a concomitant rise in sales of moderately priced pieces.

The phenomenon is identical in China and in the United States. Ulysse Nardin’s director believes that the worst is also passed in the United States and the economy is recovering, though it will be a longer road to elsewhere. Besides the US and China, Russia is also an important market for the luxury brands, as well as the middle east, though with the financial crisis in Dubai, sales have dropped by 70%. A large part of the luxury watch maker’s sales figures this year in Spain, Italy, Turkey or Florida has come from Russian tourists.
