M6 surfs his good hearing and displays good financial health. The group chaired by Nicolas de Tavernost said Thursday, a consolidated turnover up 3.6% in the first quarter of 2012, to 355.1 million euros. It is true that this growth owes much to self-advertising group, which rose by 3.2%. Starting with the audiovisual rights activity that benefited from the success of Twilight 4 video. But despite the sluggish market, the advertising revenue of the group grew by nearly 4%.

Even the M6, the flagship, can boast of an increase in advertising revenues in the first quarter from 1.5% to 164.5 million euros. Growth that relies on good audience ratings of structured grid around a solid prime-time thanks to JT "19 h 45 'and household scenes, but also a few key programs that Whether it is "Top Chef", magazines such as "Capital" and, finally, American series that still make the gravy chain. With an average audience share of 11.6%, M6 is thus gradually became the third chain of the audiovisual landscape.

What it can an aggressive advertising policy based on maintaining or even increase, its rates, where most incumbents rely on the flexibility in trading conditions. Proof: according to Kantar Media Institute, the volume of the M6 ​​channel advertising declined 14.2% over the period, while its gross revenues (excluding negotiations and regressive) increased.

Rate increase

This means that the group has increased the value of its screens. By comparison, TF1, whose gross receipts would not progress to the first quarter shows an increase of its volume of 3.4% pub. The first private channel is also best bidder in number of spots.

More generally, the history of television market has seen in France in the first quarter a decline in overall volume of 7.5%, according to Kantar Media. If the market does not collapse, it is primarily due to the dynamism of the new DTT channels. In its latest monthly report, the Institute notes that "this segment remains solid in value in March (16.7%) but stabilizes its activity by volume (0.3%). Cumulatively, the DTT channels grew three times faster than all channels (23.2%). "

A trend that is well reflected in the number of commercial digital channels M6 group – mainly W9 – which increased by 16% in the first quarter, to 38.1 million euros.

As for the coming months, the media buying specialists adopt a conservative position. Havas Media, a subsidiary of Havas, setting a trend of 0.9% of the TV market in the second quarter. In other words, the line thickness. The media agency fears the arrival of "a two-tier market that is expected to exacerbate the end of the year and in 2013 with the arrival of six new HD channels TNT in the fall. The fragmentation of audiences is going to intensify, increasing the risk to players on the market, "she argues.

After stealing a vehicle, the insured must receive a settlement offer from the insurer within 30 days. The amount of compensation is the estimated value of the vehicle during flight. If, after this period of 30 days, the vehicle is recovered, the insured can choose between:

-Keep compensation from the insurer and give the vehicle

-Recover the vehicle and refund the compensation to the insurance company. Where appropriate and subject to the safeguards in the contract the insurer will take over the repairs necessary for its restoration.

Namely: if the vehicle is recovered before payment of compensation, it must be based on the amount of any necessary repairs.

Settlement period for property damage

In case of damage the delays are different. Indeed, the insurer then has three months (from the claim) to make a settlement offer. The compensation must then be paid within a month.

Where a claim is caused by a natural disaster, the regulation of the latter must be made within 3 months following the publication of the interministerial decree in the Official Gazette.

Settlement period for personal injury

In this case the insured should receive an offer of settlement from its insurer within eight months after the disaster instant credit report. If the insured dies after the disaster, his beneficiaries should receive a settlement offer from the insurer within the same after their claim. The compensation must then be paid within a month.

Non-compliance with these deadlines

If the insurer does not meet the deadlines related to the settlement offer and the settlement itself, the insured may consider legal action. Indeed, if the settlement offer was not made within the period, the compensation due interest income on the basis of twice the legal interest rate. Interest is calculated from the expiry of the deadline until actual settlement of the claim or the final judicial decision.  

If the payment of compensation is not made within the time allowed, the compensation also produces interest:

-Based on the guideline plus 50% during first 2 months after the deadline,

-On the basis of twice the legal rate after expiry of 2 months.

"This is the fourth year of the MBA HEC offers this seminar in leadership" off-campus ", which stands on sites the military school of Saint Cyr Coetquidan and Fort Penthievre. The idea is to make teaching by practice on the ground ". While explaining this, Commander Xavier Bout, a professor at HEC and organizer of the seminar, participants observed a group whose goal is to cross a gap in a simulated earthquake. Here, no internship or hardening of team-building, but a pedagogy in situ. "In two days, participants will have completed twenty years, putting each in turn in the position of leader, which allows the instructor who accompanies each group to study the postures, behaviors, and then to make a debriefing. The seminar, which comes amid an MBA, is fully in the curriculum, "he says.

Many schools offer similar courses. Consecutive years, participants of Executive MBA MIP (now part of EDHEC group) took a trip-four-day seminar on management turned on the cruiser helicopter carrier Jeanne d'Arc. As for executives enrolled in the Executive MBA Paris Executive Campus, they will spend several days in June on a military base in Britain.

These seminars, summaries of which could do more to echo reality shows that cozy setting of MBA classes, are not displeasing to many candidates. But their proponents, they should not be reduced to a mere marketing ploy. "The course is to enable learning about decision making in a situation of discomfort," The advance Olivier Fournier, CEO of Paris Executive Campus payday loan companies. All leadership seminars in the field however, are not related to the military.

"Seminar uncertain"

What is sought is primarily the offset, the exercise of leadership in an uncontrolled environment. In the Executive MBA from the NCI, participants depart for example in Poland perform a consulting mission which they become aware that once on site. Since 2003, the International MBA Rouen Business School offers its students a "seminary of uncertainty." The principle? Participants are taken to an unknown destination and group must complete several missions.

"Getting to a point with a compass and unclear instructions, return to its starting pair in opposite directions or build a tetrahedron intended to launch a missile in a limited time," remembers for its part Annina Alanen . Graduated last year from the International MBA Rouen Business School, said she learned a lot from this experience. "It was interesting to hear my own reactions, to see that the conflicts within the group can block any decision or that he who has the solution can not necessarily convince others."

A textile company, for lack of sewers it needs for its plant in Quimper, creates a pathway of learning to train its future recruits? The SME Armor Lux, well known for its white wine, made the headlines this week, at a time when all candidates for president are the re-industrialization of the country one of their campaign themes.

This situation is not isolated and number of industrial jobs – welders, boilermakers, milling … – are pulling their hair to find candidates and encourage vocations. "There is a real paradox between a high level of unemployment in France and companies who are not candidates for positions in recruitment, whether welders, millers, coppersmiths, payroll technicians, seamstresses …. In total we estimate that roughly fifty so-called shortage occupations. In our business we miss about 30% of requests from our customers because we do not have the resources and this situation has been deteriorating for a decade, notes François Beharel, group president of Randstad and staffing agencies. Concretely, this means that our group could generate 30% of turnover and more. "

For him, the problem is essentially related to the collective image What these professions in public opinion. "We imagine that in the textile industry and is like 50 years ago, while the environment has changed, that wages were revised upwards and that career paths are possible." "We have to get into people's heads, and young people in particular, that the industry is clean and not necessarily noisy. In this regard, the construction was successful for several years to reverse its bad image, "says Anne-Marie Bjornson, Director of Transitions AFPA.

Develop learning

A UIMM, Joel Mendez, Director Employment and Training, said that one communicates primarily on job losses. Yet in all sectors of metallurgy, the recruitment needs estimated over the period 2007-2015 are always evaluated. Between 60,000 and 80,000 jobs per year, including 30 to 40% reserved for graduates, according to a study by the study-which will be updated in early 2012 over a 2013 to 2020 -. "There is a big educational effort and support to achieve with the companies to become more involved in processes of looking management of jobs and skills (GPEC) and assessing their future needs" says he.

According to Anne-Marie Bjornson Afpa transitions, there are ways to mount training particularly in the context of operational readiness to employment (job center) or as part of training contracts. "We are also working on the issue of transferable skills, which allow for example to a textile worker to work in the weld or a working precision to go in the car." But anticipating needs is a prerequisite and essential step, she insists.

For Joel Mendez, it is also essential to adapt the training devices to the needs, both in initial training in continuing education. And take the example of learning where the numbers in the branch of metallurgy grew 6% in 2011 (with a total of 26 000 apprentices). "At the last school year, nearly a thousand offers of learning could not be met and at the same time, the same volume of young people did not find any company. This shows that learning can be further developed and the various mechanisms put in place recently should help solve these problems. "

A situation that in any case, Francis led Beharel hammering: "stop sending generations of young people in jobs without opportunities. Spend money to know that jobs are to be filled with real careers, especially if the areas are not attractive. "

They are young, teeming with ideas, with a bright professional future and – especially – refuse to see leave a ruined world. The crisis that is sweeping the Western economies over the past four years and upsetting the global equilibrium leads to a resurgence of activism among young entrepreneurs. Alongside institutional think tanks – Davos and other circles of economists – forums bringing together young leaders "of tomorrow" are multiplying on the planet. And, more recently, now these kids want to be heard from their elders.

One of the oldest forums, the St. Gallen Symposium will meet for the 42nd time in Switzerland, 3 and 4 May. 200 young entrepreneurs, teachers or students compare their ideas to "deal with the risks" threatening the planet, watched by 600 business leaders or senior officials, including several "guest stars" – Josef Ackermann (Deutsche Bank) and Jean -Claude Trichet (former President of the ECB).

But in the East also arise new think tanks wanting to prove that their young entrepreneurs are equally able to invite the sharing of growth. Created in Rhodes in 2010, the Youth Forum, an offshoot of the think-tank based Time Youth in the Czech Republic is one of them. His goal, happy idealist, is "to reconcile the views of emerging nations" to "lay the foundations for a better future."

300 youth from 70 countries, activists, environmentalists, industrialists but also specialists in new technologies meet once a year to get to know and "create the world of their dreams," aided by economists or experts phenomena societal. All under the protective wing of the "Global Forum of World Civilization".

Groundswell

The forum that promotes traditional values ​​intends to "strengthen cultural exchanges on an equal basis," says one who directs, Vladimir Yakunin, President of Russian Railways and close to Vladimir Putin. "Clearly, today, we can not conceive of unilateral world." Fed on an example that of Russia: "We have in our country 190 nationalities and 80 different faiths cohabiting together, and the only way to achieve this is to let mingle our histories and traditions on an equal footing, without that one takes precedence over the other, "says the Russian leader.

A speech that collects a strong chord with young activists from the developing world, who want to invite to the table of developed countries. "The bipolar world is finished," said the businessman and political leader of India, Sam Pitroda at the last Youth Forum held in New Delhi in late March. "The American model based on consumption can not agree to the three billion poor people who have access to anything," he added. For the latter, which could contribute to the post of President of India, in 2013, "we must build a new world, a new model, based on connectivity."

Anecdotally, even idealistic, seen from France, young people reflect these forums, in fact, a fundamental shift, in parallel with the emergence of Brics, from which emerges a desire to make its voice heard on a global scale, for the fast-growing economies. And when one is surprised to see yet few young Europeans to participate are answered on the side of the Youth Time, that "the ultimate goal is obviously to attract more young Western entrepreneurs, to enhance dialogue and exchanges. "

Ikea for 30 years would have dreamed, best advertising. But a month after the revelation of illegal policing practices of employees and customers by Chained Duck and Mediapart, the direction of Ikea France wants to show it has taken stock of the situation. Vanoverbeke Stefan, head of the French subsidiary of the Swedish furniture giant yesterday presented its action plan and its working group to improve the image of the group being undermined by the discovery of internal mails mentioning the use of private detectives and the font file. Activities that led to Ikea France sidelined several top executives, including Jean-Louis Baillot, CEO of the subsidiary at the relevant time. "An internal audit by an independent firm has established that there had been research practices of information not consistent with our values. This is unacceptable and I regret it, "said Stefan Vanoverbeke. The current owner is careful however to discuss the future of the people involved to "preserve the presumption of innocence" and leave the floor of Versailles, seized by the CFDT union, do his job. "It is up to judges to say what is illegal or not. We just want to cooperate, "he said.

A pilot initiative

And as proof of his goodwill, Ikea France, which has already seen its headquarters raided and visited by the CNIL (National Data Protection Authority) in its stores, plans to give the prosecution the findings of its internal audit. But it is mostly a working basis for a group of four managers responsible for "strengthening the values ​​and ethical standards." "It's not an excuse but it does not direct a company of 10,000 employees as a company that has only 500 easy payday loans. The findings of the survey showed us that our way of working no longer fit our size, "explains Stefan Vanoverbeke.

Ikea already had a code of conduct but the group had been working to develop a global charter. Irregularities discovered in France gave a good boost to the initiative, even if the boss of Ikea France considers that there is "no reason to believe that such practices occurred in other countries where group is established. " No investigation has been carried out elsewhere. "France will be a pilot," he says. Beginning in June, the working group should thus be able to make concrete proposals for reforming corporate governance, support managers and staff, recruitment of technical change but also monitor compliance with the group values . "We developed this action plan because we want to act quickly to give answers to our employees, social partners and customers. But we hope that these answers are of quality, "says the CEO that all employees of the group can now contact directly by e-mail. For clients, Stefan Vanoverbeke remains attentive to comments left on forums where he received "varying degrees of concern." Not enough empty stores nor sinking sales, however.

"Telerama" is offered on Wednesday, a fundamental review of its editorial formula. This evolution of the weekly television, accompanied by a new model, is "a response by Telerama change consumption and cultural practices to win new readers and continue to attract current," says its director writing, Fabienne Pascaud.

With its position closer to a "cultural news", Telerama has suffered less last year than the heavyweights of television news. France paid its circulation reached 622,161 copies in 2011, down 1.59%, while all of this family of magazines dropped 3.3%, according to OJD.

The ambition of the new formula of the title, including the selling price increased from 2.30 to 2.50 euros in late February, is to "reclaim the newsstand sales of around 75,000 copies today. The kiosk is synonymous with vitality, "says Fabienne Pascaud. In this perspective, the title also wants to seduce new readers, "young adults, 30 to 40 years." The average age of readers "is currently at 49 years." At constant paging (137 pages of writing), the new formula Telerama advocates "openness" totally free credit score.

"To better understand the society we live heckled, through its creators, its intellectuals, its researchers, it is essential to increase the angles of approach, open to also radiate to other types writing, "says its director in the editorial to be published Wednesday. With a model which "gives more room for elegance," redesigned internally by the Artistic Director Loran Stosskopf the nouveauTélérama offers shorter film critics, a "photo editorial", new sections on concerts, video games or catch up on TV. However, the little figure Ulysses, smiling or grimacing as film review, remains under a new face.

The offensive of the weekly, owned by "Le Monde", is accompanied by a revival of its website, with "greater visibility of services and content" and creating a premium area, TéléramaPlus, for to subscribers. Last year, Telerama has achieved a turnover of 77 million euros. 25% of revenues come from advertising.

This is not the strong political message expected by Paris, but Europe has decided to speak up to protect themselves from competitors judged disloyal. Under control of the Commission, certain public may soon be prohibited suppliers from countries that close themselves the door to EU exporters.

This "reciprocity" commercial, written in a bill introduced Wednesday, is officially open to third markets rather than to protect the old continent. "Europe is an open market, and we do not see why others would not like us. It is therefore encouraging, "said EU Trade Commissioner, Karel De Gucht.

The compromise, snatched after eighteen months, is far from 'Buy European Act "recently proposed by Nicolas Sarkozy, even in small-step approach

. "Protectionism"

The bill is based on two mechanisms. One, almost consensual, will allow Brussels to close the procurement of Member States to a third country guilty of repeated discrimination against European companies. Beijing, which closed its borders to any technology that has not previously "registered", is like a number one target.

This is the second mechanism that clashed European capitals, notably France, the Netherlands and Britain. It would enable a single Contracting Party in the EU – a municipality, for example – to get the Commission to prohibit a tender to foreign competition under the pretext of non-reciprocity, if the procurement covered exceeds 5 million euros.

To impose this device, which struck the most liberal of the Commission, Michel Barnier had to defend himself publicly accused of "protectionism". With a strong argument in a recession: Brussels amounts to 12 billion euros a lack of European companies to export because of obstacles put in third countries. Furthermore, public procurement represents about 20% of GDP in the EU, and they escape to international competition rules, set by the WTO.

"INSIGHT – The crisis has awakened protectionist temptations

Can we judge the Heads of State or Government for their responsibility in the economic crisis that has shaken the world since 2008? To this question, the parties have used to respond that the verdict will urns – some have already experienced at their expense. Iceland is in court that the former head of government is accountable. Geir Haarde appearing before a special court – the exclusive right to try ministers – for his role in the collapse of the financial system. Adjourned in September, the trial resumed on Monday and will last until March 15. The accused faces up to two years in prison.

That's an understatement to say that Iceland has suffered from the crisis: the economy of the island with 320,000 inhabitants was literally blown away by the explosion of the global financial system in 2008. The three largest banks in the country, which held assets equivalent to 923% of national GDP, went bankrupt. Plunged into deep recession, the country owed its salvation to EUR 1.6 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund. Popular anger caused by this disaster had forced the then Conservative government of Geir Haarde to resign.

"We saved the country from bankruptcy"

But Iceland is not stopping there 0cherche guilty. In spring 2009, a parliamentary commission of inquiry concluded that the main leaders of countries have made serious mistakes in managing the crisis. The expert report specifically criticized Geir Haarde to have stifled the information leaving early in the year 2008 point to a major financial crisis guaranteed payday loans. The former head must also meet its inaction to reduce the size of banks hypertrophied.  

According to the accused, let the banks go broke "was the right thing to do" and "saved the country from bankruptcy." "The banking sector has collapsed but the real economy, the entire production capacity of the country, remained intact and continues to run," he pleaded last summer. In fact, Iceland has since returned to growth. If the state had guaranteed foreign debts of the banking system, Geir Haarde believes that Iceland would have "the same mistakes" as Greece, for example.

Beyond the merits, the defense challenges the very principle of this trial. She recalled that none of the other ministers implicated by the inquiry commission has not been charged. But among them were two Socialists, and it's socialist majority in Parliament to what income the decision to refer Geir Haarde court. The latter has a field day denouncing a "settling of accounts" policy. More broadly, the former leader sees himself as a scapegoat for the crisis: "There was a collapse of banks around the world (…) Why is there no other political leader in a court like? ".
