Very light jets are designed to constitute a new category of small, cost efficient, private jets. Their introduction to the market has been planned for almost a decade and could induce significant changes to the business aviation industry. Among the most discussed effects is the possible emergence of very light jet air taxi operators. These operators plan to create a new value proposition for passengers by offering on-demand, point-to-point connections at considerably reduced costs in comparison to traditional private jet companies. However, their introduction has been delayed and the market environment, in the aftermath of the subprime crisis, remains challenging. In this context, very light jet air taxi operators will need to prove their business model by offering superior customer value to potential passengers. In order to maximize customer value in the face of trade-offs, operators need to understand their customers' preferences and how they interact with each other. By adapting the customer value model for very light jet air taxi passengers, this master thesis helps practitioners by presenting a useful tool for strategic planning. Further, the adapted customer value model is also intended to present a basic framework for further research on the customer preferences of very light jet air taxi operators. Master Thesis.

Since law is indelibly marked by its history, it is hardly surprising that law and legal thinking in England - and the mainly Anglophone countries which follow it - are very different from those in countries in the European-continental tradition, which includes all of Latin America and much of the Near and Far East. This presents a real challenge to the comparatist who seeks to see the global picture. No topic better illustrates the difference between the continent and England than their respective approaches to the law of contract. This book examines England's law of contract, for not only is it at the heart of private law, but it affects other areas as well, and it has been the object of analysis, debate, and theorizing on both sides of the English Channel. By studying this core of the law of obligations, one can come to see the basic structure of a legal system and the way its component parts are interconnected.

New anti-corruption laws and intensified law enforcement - in particular, in Organization for Economic Co-operations and Development (OECD) Member States - are motivating companies to implement sound anti-corruption compliance programs. This will help reduce risk and may also serve as a business tool. Yet, companies are increasingly voicing the need for a harmonized approach to compliance. The OECD Guidance, enacted in 2010, may well serve as a template for such a standard, since it has been adopted by the Member States of the OECD by unanimity. This book gives an introduction to anti-corruption compliance and the OECD standards in particular. It will help managers and other corporate practitioners identify the needs for their company and know what to ask for.

There is no ideal model of federalism - no template of best practices valid worldwide. Political, historical, social, and economic conditions shape federal institutions and processes, but these conditions vary by country. The idea behind Principles of Federalism is to draw up principles for the just, equitable, and effective governance of federations worldwide. These guidelines are intended to help framers of constitutions, government officials, members of civil society, and those who apply the law to reassess, reform, or rebuild political systems. They strive to identify the issues that must be considered regarding federalism, and they offer possible solutions. Principles of Federalism does not prescribe how specific problems are to be solved. The book describes what should be considered in policymaking in the hope that good practice will lead to an appropriate functional outcome. The guidelines are to be applied in governance, intended to help federalizing countries to establish - or federal countries to improve - their legal, institutional, and regulatory frameworks. Written by a Swiss working group towards the development of a universal instrument, the book's authors hope that the guidelines will be useful for all federations - existing, reforming, as well as emerging - around the world. As such, these guidelines should be understood as a work in progress, to be discussed, critiqued, and built upon.

Constitutional Law

Switzerland - with its geographical situation and political stability - has become a popular place for arbitration. The tradition of being a neutral place of arbitration, the appeal of Swiss law, and the modern lex arbitri have leveraged Switzerland's prominent standing. The country is one of the most important centers of international arbitration today. This book illustrates the current legal situation of international arbitration in Switzerland by presenting the legal environment through references to important rules for arbitration in Switzerland (in particular, the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration, the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce ICC, and the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules). The structure of the book follows a well-established pattern, beginning with the basics of the arbitration agreement, the course of arbitral proceedings up to the arbitral award, and its recognition and enforcement in Switzerland and abroad.

A tender offer is the most common way to obtain control of a listed company in Switzerland. In a hostile scenario, it is the only form of transaction that allows seeking control against the will of the target's board. Furthermore, tender offers are popular for going-private transactions and repurchase programs, or when introducing a holding structure. This book provides a concise and practical guide to Swiss takeover and shareholder disclosure law and the extensive practice of the Swiss regulators. It is addressed to lawyers in private practice and to in-house counsel, as well as to other practitioners in public M&A (board members, members of management, investment bankers, auditors, etc.). In addition, the book will prove a valuable text for law and business students interested in public takeovers. (Series: Swiss Law in a Nutshell)

Notions such as complicity, accessory liability, as well as aiding and abetting frequently appear in international criminal law. This study focuses on the relevant legal issues concerning secondary liability as a mode of individual criminal responsibility. The first section of the book looks into the distinction between primary and secondary liability, the nature of secondary liability, and the approaches to prevent secondary liability from being over-inclusive. Additional sections analyze the body of law that has been shaped by the trials conducted in the aftermath of World War II, the trials that have emerged from the ad hoc tribunals for the crimes committed in the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Rwanda (ICTR), and the trials which has been created by the EU Member States to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The main questions asked are: How does secondary liability relate to a system of perpetration and participation? How is it distinguished from other modes of liability? What are its actus reus and mens rea elements? Particular emphasis has been laid on the substantial and direct effect requirements, as well as on the notion of purposive facilitation.

The Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) - known in English as the International Federation of Association Football - is the international governing body of soccer. With its headquarters located in Zurich, FIFA's membership includes 209 national associations. FIFA is responsible for the organization of international tournaments, including the World Cup. FIFA, like other sports governing bodies, has been accused of corruption and a lack of transparency. It has, however, recently decided to initiate reforms. A group of experienced independent governance experts and stakeholders has been asked to oversee the reform process. This group - the Independent Governance Committee (IGC) - has managed above all to introduce independent supervisors, investigators, and judges. Yet, the reform process is not complete. In this book, the insiders to reform give a fascinating account of the workings of FIFA, the unknown giant of the football world.
