Évolution et trajectoires de la géographie des activités de fusion et d'acquisition (F&A) : une analyse des réseaux des villes canadiennes, 1994-2016
Bibliographic record
Abstract
RÉSUMÉ: Est-ce que les transferts de contrôle entrepreneurial ont renforcé le rôle des grandes villes dans le développement du pays et introduit une plus forte dépendance des villes de taille plus modeste ? Est-ce que la (re)distribution spatiale des activités de direction a changé au fil du temps ? Cette recherche étudie l'évolution des trajectoires de transfert de contrôle entrepreneurial au Canada entre 1994 et 2016 afin de déterminer si les réseaux de Fusion et Acquisition (F&A) domestiques sont tributaires d'un processus de dépendance au sentier. Pour ce faire, une approche relationnelle et évolutionnaire est retenue. Une analyse cartographique est réalisée dans le but de cerner les patrons origine – destination des F&A. Ensuite, à l'aide des modèles de régression par procédure d'ajustement quadratique (QAP), la recherche identifie les facteurs qui expliquent la distribution des acquisitions. Les résultats indiquent que Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver et Calgary sont les principales destinations de F&A. Néanmoins, les villes de Winnipeg et de Guelph ont émergé comme nouveaux centres de pouvoir et se sont mises au niveau des principales métropoles canadiennes. Les résultats montrent aussi que la géographie des activités F&A est persistante dans le temps et que la création des relations d'affaires est influencée par la dissimilarité entre les villes en termes de prestige et taille. La principale contribution de cette recherche est l'utilisation des techniques de données relationnelles, issues de l'analyse des réseaux, pour étudier les relations économiques entre les villes. \nMots clés : Fusions et acquisitions, économie géographique évolutionnaire, analyse des réseaux, villes. -- ABSTRACT: Did the corporate control transfer strengthen the role played by the metropolitan areas in the country's development? Did it introduce a higher dependency of smaller Canadian towns and cities? Did management spatial redistribution activities change over time? This research aims to study the spatial evolution of the transfer of corporate control in Canada between 1994 and 2016 in order to determine whether the domestic merger and acquisition (M&A) networks are path dependent. To approach this, the researcher used Network Analysis and Evolutionary Economic Geography approaches. A cartographic analysis to identify the origin – destination patterns of economic decision-making is conducted. The researcher used a quadratic assignment procedure (QAP) regression analysis to assess the impact of factors that explain corporate takeover distribution. The research results indicate that Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary are the main destinations of M&As. However, Winnipeg and Guelph emerged as new centers of power and joined the tier of major Canadian cities. The results also show that the geography of M&As is persistent over time. It also indicates that the creation of inter-city ties is influenced by prestige and size dissimilarities. The paper’s main contribution is that it uses techniques from network analysis to study economic relations between cities. \nKeywords : Mergers and acquisitions, evolutionary economic geography, network analysis, cities.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
