Adopting a governance perspective, this study analyzes the merger between closely-held Donohue Inc. and widely-held Abitibi-Consolidated Inc. Findings suggest that the absence of a controlling shareholder and weak board governance at Abitibi might explain both (a) its executives' interests in the transaction and (b) its CEO's compensation increase despite underperformance. Second, an intergeneration shift of control at Quebecor (Donohue's parent company) led to a strategic reorientation that (a) transformed Donohue into a target and (b) insured that Donohue's executives had incentives to pursue a deal. Finally, Donohue's noncontrolling shareholders benefited from the transaction while Abitibi shareholders experienced wealth reduction. The merger's aftermath provides some counter evidenc...

In general, the allocation of human capital, like individual education, skills and performance, being the strongest predictors for the direction and pace of integration of immigrants in the past, may become less important, while the social capital of already existing 'strong ties' in the receiving context, of transnational family and kinship systems, may become increasingly important, possibly being the predominant predictors for the relative success of immigrant groups in the future. Whereas children satisfy parent's needs for economic well-being and social esteem, especially in less affluent societies with few alternatives of security against the risks of life, children remain an important source of affective solidarity and lifelong bonding in welfare societies and a target of intens...
