the conference, professor Martinez Lázaro spoke about the financial crisis that
the capital market have been suffering from for months and the unstoppable inflation
in petroleum, food and other raw material prices, that seem to predict the end
of the growth stage that the worldwide economy has been enjoying since 2004. Also,
the Spanish economy is heading towards a slow growth scenario, given the rise
in interest rates and a halt in construction and the real estate market.&nbsp;
In this section, we analyzed the principle variables that are affecting the
behavior of the global economy as well as tackled the risks that threaten the
Spanish economy and the means by which one should confront these risks during
the following months.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);" lang="EN-US"></span>

desde hace unos meses y las imparables subidas del precio del petróleo, de los
alimentos y de otras materias primas, que parecen augurar el fin de la etapa de
crecimiento del que ha venido disfrutando la economía mundial desde 2004.
También la economía española se encamina hacia un escenario de menor
crecimiento, debido a la elevación de los tipos de interés y al parón de la
construcción y del mercado inmobiliario. En esta sesión se analizaron las
principales variables que están influyendo en el comportamiento de la economía mundial
y se abordaron los riesgos que acechan a la economía española y los retos a los
que se deberá enfrentar durante los próximos meses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

práctica y optimista"</i> (<i>Towards the leading family business: a practical
and optimistic view,</i> published by&nbsp; Prentice Hall<i>)</i>, was
presented on 12 June at an event that included speeches by the author,
professor <b style="">Pascual Montañés</b> and
entrepreneurs <b style="">Javier López-Madrid</b>
and <b style="">Carlos López-Ibor</b>. <o:p></o:p></span>



<p class="MsoHeader" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);" lang="EN-GB">During his address, Professor Bermejo highlighted that
"The family business of the 21st century has undergone huge changes. The
members of families with businesses are more aware than ever of the challenges
they face. Markets are more complex due to factors like globalisation,
increased competition, high-level business dynamism and the impact of new technologies.
This constitutes an extraordinary challenge for the family business. In short,
family entrepreneurs today demand a new approach and this book has been written
to provide just that". <o:p></o:p></span></p>

family businesses to reach positions of leadership and consolidate the
founder's entrepreneurial dream. The text is written in a highly practical
style, complete with examples, many of which are based on the author's own
experience, with an optimistic view and placing particular emphasis on the
idiosyncrasies of the Spanish and Latin family business.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoHeader" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">En su intervención, el Profesor Bermejo destacó: "La&nbsp; empresa
familiar del siglo XXI ha experimentado enormes cambios. Los miembros de
familias empresarias están más concienciados que nunca de los retos que deben
abordar. Los mercados son más complejos por razones como la globalización, la
creciente competencia, el gran dinamismo empresarial o el impacto de las nuevas
tecnologías. Esto supone para la empresa familiar un extraordinario desafío al
que puede hacer frente. En definitiva, los emprendedores familiares de hoy
demandan un nuevo discurso y con este propósito está escrita esta obra". <o:p></o:p></span></p>



<p class="MsoHeader" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">En su libro,&nbsp; Manuel Bermejo traza la hoja de ruta para que las
empresas familiares lleguen a posiciones de liderazgo y consoliden el sueño
empresarial del fundador. Con un estilo muy práctico, plagado de ejemplos,
muchos de los cuales nacen de la experiencia del autor,&nbsp; con una visión
optimista y poniendo especial acento en las peculiaridades de la empresa
familiar española y latina.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

customer experiences as well as the proliferation of market segments is
exceeding organizational genetic capabilities and organizations are looking for
new models and alternatives to keep its competitive and sustainable position; finding
solutions to this challenge demands among other things to question some of the
established business management paradigms. The objectives&nbsp;of his

capabilities; Globalization and the Olympic Games: A new frequency and level
for business performance; The limits of business capabilities: Organizational
Genetics; Revisiting the concept of core capabilities and its management

la competencia mundial está elevando la presión sobre las capacidades de las
empresas en términos de la frecuencia en los cambios y los niveles de
rendimiento; mercados incrementando la demanda por mejor experiencia de los
clientes asi como la proliferación de segmentos de mercado están excediendo en
la genérica capacidad organizacional y las organizaciones están mirando hacia
nuevos modelos y alternativas para mantenerse competitivas. Buscando soluciones
para este reto en la demanda entre otras cosas ponen en cuestión algunas de los
paradigmas establecidos en la dirección de la empresa. Los objetivos de esta

talked about the famous term <i style="">Guanxi</i>: personal
and friendly relations which, in China, are indispensable to business dealings
with administration, customers and suppliers. "In China, you first make friends
and then do business. Guanxi is not corruption, but just the way we do business
here." These personal relations take time to build and require constant
attention, but are key to getting results with the complex Chinese
administration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

9,000 employees worldwide. <b style="">Rafael Martín</b>,
director of Shanghai operations, highlighted the challenges the company faces
in China and gave some recommendations for companies wanting to move into the
country. In his opinion, "the risk isn't to come to China, the risk is not to
come".<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b style="">Yakult Honsha</b> <b style="">Ltd.</b>, an expanding company which manufactures digestive health
drinks good for bowel movements. Yakult Honsha sells its products, including
the famous Yakult drink, all over the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

opportunities of doing business in China, as well as of the strengths and
weaknesses of the one of the biggest economies of the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>



<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);" lang="EN-GB">During the week, the participants had the opportunity

Business Brokers, <b>José María Varas,</b> gave a conference under the title "<i>Fusiones
y Adquisiciones en el Segmento de las Pymes</i>", analyzing the distinct
mechanisms associated with these operations, presenting a complete vision about
the promising future foreshadowed by the sector of intermediation in the buying
and selling of small and large companies.&nbsp; The address included tackling
questions such as the challenge of survival faced by conglomerates due to
factors such as lack of succession and the course of consolidation by mergers,
acquisitions or sale which are the logical departures that guarantee success. <o:p></o:p></span>



<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);" lang="EN-US">The sector of Capital Risk and Private Equity is
looking for new investment opportunities, apart from those of large companies;
and the small and medium-sized enterprises represent an opportunity for
investors looking for new alternatives. There are many opportunities for sale
at reasonable prices having high growth potential in a fragmented market. From
the capital investors' perspective, the last few years have introduced a rise
in bank funded transactions with the sale of businesses at very high
prices.&nbsp; These high values placed on these companies have put the
feasibility of these transactions at risk, which places pressure on the
acquired company to complete unreasonable business objectives.<o:p></o:p></span></p>



<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);" lang="EN-US">José María Varas also spoke about the necessity of
professionalism within the sector of&nbsp;mediation in the buying and selling
of small and medium sized enterprises, using chains of experts in valuations,
negotiation and sale of the enterprises and, know-how and experience that
facilitate these types of transactions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

mecanismos asociados a estas operaciones, ofreciendo una completa visión sobre
el prometedor futuro que se le augura al sector de la intermediación en la
compra y venta de pequeñas y medianas empresas. Una ponencia en la que se
abordaron cuestiones como el reto de supervivencia al que se enfrentan las
empresas familiares a causa diversos factores como la falta de sucesión, y cómo
los procesos de consolidación por la vía de fusiones, adquisiciones o venta son
la salida lógica para garantizar su continuidad.<o:p></o:p></span></p>



<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;" lang="ES-TRAD">El sector de Capital
Riesgo y Private Equity está buscando nuevas oportunidades de inversión diferentes
a la gran empresa y la pyme pequeña y mediana representa una oportunidad para
inversores que buscan nuevas alternativas, hay muchas oportunidades de compra a
precios razonables y mucho recorrido para crecer en un mercado atomizado. Desde
el punto de vista del capital inversor, en los últimos años se han realizado
transacciones muy apalancadas con recursos bancarios y se han pagado precios
muy altos por las empresas vendidas. Las altas valoraciones pagadas pone en
riesgo la viabilidad de algunas transacciones, lo cual presiona a la empresa
adquirida a cumplir con objetivos de negocios en muchos casos irrealizables. <o:p></o:p></span></p>



<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;" lang="ES-TRAD">José María Varas
también manifestó la necesidad de profesionalizar el sector de la
intermediación en la compra y venta de pymes, con<span style=""> redes expertas en la valoración, negociación y venta de las empresas y
un know how y experiencia que permita llevar a buen término este tipo de
transacciones.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>



<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;" lang="ES-TRAD">La sesión fue presentada y moderada por <b>Paz Ambrosy</b>, profesora de
