Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Founded in 1833 by a noble family from Ardeche, the Lafarge Group constitutes today a good example of a global company. Like Saint-Gobain, Lafarge has become a major player in the building materials sector. Its history offers a good picture of the succession of the « three globalizations ». The first stage, between 1964 and 1945, was the period of internalization, begun essentially before World War One, then strengthened during the inter-war years, notably thanks to cartels. The second stage was the period of multinationalization, characterized, from 1947 to 1974, by strong growth, the transition to the managerial firm and the rise of Canadian activities. The third stage was globalization. It includes three aspects : progressive conquest of the European market, access to leadership in North America, and layout in Far Eastern countries, thanks to the successive take-over of General Portland, Coppee, Redland and Blue Circle.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
