Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics
- Business Ethics, Corporate Ethics, grade: 1,2, Leeds Metropolitan
University, course: Issues in the Events Industry, language:
English, abstract: With the London 2012 Olympic Games,
sustainability within mega-sport events has come to attention again
as the organisers of the event are seeking to create a truly green
event (London2012 2009a, London2012 2009b). But not only developed
nations are hosting such large-scale events. Recently, the FIFA
World Cup was held in South Africa, the Commonwealth Games in India
and the next Olympics will be staged in Brazil
(Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung 2011). Thus, this paper will deal with
the following question. Can sustainability be achieved at
mega-sport events in developing countries? The FIFA 2010 Soccer
World Championships in South Africa will be used as a descriptive
example of a past mega-sporting event. The goal of the paper is to
answer this question while also giving a diligent insight and
thorough understanding of the Triple Bottom Line Model.

economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, University of
Frankfurt (Main), language: English, abstract: Private equity is an
asset class with one notorious problem: illiquidity. First,
investments are made without an exit option prior the determined
maturity and second it is nearly impossible to purchase an interest

of a secondary market in the field of private equity (PE) which
opens new investment opportunities and "provides investors with
liquidity in an extremely illiquid asset class." The main market
indicators are growth and maturity. Especially in the financial
sector of secondary markets the development of these indicators
should be named.3 The PE secondary market is in a very early state
and far from institutionalized markets like stock exchanges. Heavy
market imperfections are a problematic characteristic in this
context. Buyers and sellers have to meet privately and negotiate an
agreement. Holding an asset for such a long period like in PE can
be very unnatural and difficult in a fast moving world in which the
need for liquidity and changing regulations, economic situations or
other issues emerge very quickly. In consequence, an efficient
secondary market seems to be important and necessary to face these
problems and give investors the ability to participate and unload
assets when circumstances force them to do so. The PE secondary
market is a relatively new phenomenon and is characterized by
steady movement, change and development. Experts from market
leading secondary funds and advisory services attest the PE
secondary market an essential progress. The PE secondary market
transforms from a market for unloading poor performing assets, to
an instrument for providing chances in the way of an active
portfolio management tool. This Bachelor Thesis, titled "Secondary
