Full textAbstract:

The current practice of building is a slow-moving, fragmented, and conflicted industry that operates on a variety of scales, emotions, professions and realities. The current practice of making buildings has the potential for innovation to align interests among otherwise adverse parties. Buildings are complex and dynamic physical realities, operating as economic, social, and emotional constructs in the urban environment. Buildings also constitute the single unifying element upon which all stakeholders in the process place their expectations. Financial, spatial, emotional, and civic success hangs in the balance of a zero-sum process. The background of the development process is presented, focusing on the current practices of real estate development and architecture and highlighting the critical relationship between each entity. Following the description of the underlying relationships and processes, three case studies of actual practices are presented as innovative and unique alternatives to the current process of building. Each case study outlines a potential integration and convergence of real estate development and architectural design, providing a new viewpoint from which to analyze current practice. Five principles of excellent development emerge from the case studies as decisive benchmarks to analyze the building process. Following initial background information and explicit understanding of current processes and potential innovative alternatives, this thesis proposes a new practice model of integrated real estate development and architectural design, the Convergent Model, which seeks to simplify the building process and align economic, social, and cultural goals within a truly interdisciplinary team of professionals. The process is a potential solution to the compounded and interconnected issues of current practice and is more likely to meet the five principles of excellent development. Finally, the Convergent Model is put into practice through a hypothetical demonstration project. The demonstration project consists of a comparison between a Baseline and a Proposal, two developments on the same site. The Baseline utilizes traditional practices and the Proposal employs the Convergent Model. The development processes are compared side by side and evaluated as an illustrative depiction of the potential for a new development process that is more capable of creating excellent buildings.

Full textAbstract:
Globalization is a fact in a lot of businesses today, something that is also relevant in the real estate industry. The currency differs depending on where investments are made and as a result of this real estate investors also face currency risks in addition to all other real estate related risks they already need to manage. The management of currency risk can have different forms, and the purpose of this thesis is to find out how, if and why real estate investors, especially Swedish, hedge this risk. To create an understanding of the issue, a summary of some theories on the currency market and real estate market can be found in the thesis. Only a small amount of research exists on the subject in Sweden and the theories are mainly from foreign studies and the currency risk management from other business sectors. These theories, combined with the research questions, have formed the questions for the interviews this study is made of. Debt in the local currency of where the investment is made can be seen as a natural hedge for the currency risk. Reduced loan-to-value (LTV) ratios from banks for real estate investments have led to a situation where loans, which can cannot be used to the same extent. That makes it more interesting to find out which other instruments are being used to avoid the currency risk and if the real estate investors wants to avoid it at all. The purpose of this thesis is to find the answers to these questions. The interviewed consultancy firms and banks as well as the investors themselves state that the currency risk is a risk that should not occur in Swedish real estate investments on markets with a different currency. The reason for this is that the real estate assets should be the primary focus of the business. To hedge this risk, bank loans and currency futures are the most frequently used instruments by Swedish real estate investors.Globalization is a fact in a lot of businesses today, something that is also relevant in the real estate industry.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2003.Includes bibliographical references.
The theory of auctions has grown dramatically over the last four decades; it offers guidance and insights into the conduct of efficient and optimal auctions in real estate, and other industries. In this thesis an auction process used to sell institutional real estate assets in the US is identified. This auction came into being during the 1990s, and is now in common use. The auction is recorded though surveys with industry representatives and is characterized. Problems with the auction are identified, and solutions are proposed, referencing this auction to the body of auction theory. The auction consists of two rounds of sealed bid submissions, with attrition in the number of competitive bidders. After competitive bidding is complete a preferred bidder is selected, and engages in due diligence, a practice that often uncovers new information and induces renegotiation. Bids are not binding during the bidding process, because the auction is informationally incomplete. Sellers analyze bids based on the perceived quality of the bidder as a contractual partner, as well as the bid's value, complicating the objective selection of the best bidder. The auction is bilaterally incomplete and unstable, potentially influencing efficiency and optimality. Recommendations to improve the process are made. Descriptive statistics are formed and presented of multi-round auctions for institutional real estate assets.

Egwuatu, Uche Scholastica. "The pedagogy and practice of real estate management in Nigeria : entrepreneurial perspectives." Thesis, Sheffield Hallam University, 2013. http://shura.shu.ac.uk/7798/.
Full textAbstract:
In recent years, entrepreneurship education has become a prominent issue in the Nigerian education system. The learning and teaching of entrepreneurship in the country takes a top-down approach in which basic business start-up skills are taught to all students in a generic course irrespective of their specific disciplines. At the moment no consideration has been given to embedding entrepreneurial skills within the specific disciplines. This approach does not develop the learners' ability to become entrepreneurial in the context of the knowledge gained in the disciplines. The question of interest in this research therefore is: how should the teaching and learning of entrepreneurship improve the quality of graduates and ultimately enable them to become entrepreneurial in the practice of Real Estate Management (REM)? The research particularly examined the gaps in the learning, teaching, and assessment (LTA) of REM in six Nigerian universities, how the gaps in learning relate to gaps in practice, and the nature of curriculum innovations which will help to close the gaps. Consequently, the research uses a case study of a core REM course, Property Valuation, to demonstrate the curriculum innovations. The research adopts a mixed methodology to explore the associated research questions and objectives as follows: critical review of the literature to explore entrepreneurial ideas and some issues in entrepreneurship and learning-related concepts; critical analysis of documents on national and university curricula for REM education and professional standards; questionnaire survey of current LTA experiences and practices of REM academics, students and the opinions of REM practitioners about gaps in practice revealed by young REM graduates; focus group debate on the links among entrepreneurship, REM education and practice; and a case study to demonstrate the LTA innovations in a core REM course (Property Valuation). The data analysis procedures consist of frequency distributions of the observed responses to close-ended questionnaire items, descriptive statistics and hypotheses tests of the opinion scores related to the items, and qualitative discussion of the open-ended questionnaire items and transcript of the focus group debate. The research findings reveal the existence of key learning gaps in REM education, especially entrepreneurial learning gap associated with the ability to use disciplinary knowledge in problem solving in the society. Young graduates manifest these learning gaps in REM education in their employers’ organizations. Insights from the gaps in the learning and practice of REM were used to develop a new curriculum that will help to close the gaps, and the curriculum innovations were demonstrated in a case study of a core REM course (Property Valuation) across all levels of the REM curriculum. The thesis makes a major contribution to higher education research, pedagogy and practice in the sense that it is the first study that looks at embedding the learning of entrepreneurial skills into the REM curricula, across all levels of learning a core REM course. The entrepreneurial curriculum discussed in the case study can be adapted to other REM courses, different university courses in Nigeria and similar developing countries.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores how the question of added flexibility in the real estate product is handled by Swedish commercial real estate developers. Theoretically this problem can be solved with a real options approach. Traditionally the use of real options analysis in practice in commercial real estate has been limited. The results indicate that the use of real options analysis is limited also in the Swedish commercial real estate market. Traditional investment methods coupled with rules of thumb that determine appropriate flexibility levels continue to dominate. The results highlight some of these rules of thumb. The commercial developers do argue in favor of flexible designs in locations where there is higher uncertainty, this result is in line with real options theory. Future research is needed to assess how effective this rule of thumb approach is to determining the appropriate level of flexibility in a real estate product compared to a real options approach.Detta examensarbete utforskar hur kommersiella fastighetsägare hanterar vilken nivå av flexibilitet som byggs in i nya projekt och hur man tar beslut kring nivån utifrån ett investeringsperspektiv. Teoretiskt sätt så kan detta problem lösas med real optionsanalys. Historiskt sett har real optionsanalys inte använts särskilt utbrett i den kommersiella fastighetsbranschen. Resultatet indikerar på att användningen av real optionsanalys på den svenska kommersiella fastighetsmarknaden är fortsatt låg. Traditionella investeringsmetoder kombinerat med tumregler som bestämmer graden av flexibilitet verkar dominera. Resultatet belyser några av dessa tumregler. De kommersiella fastighetsaktörerna resonerar kring flexibilitet och osäkerhet på ett sätt som är i linje med real optionsteori. Vidare forskning behövs för att bedöma hur väl tumregel-förfarandet i förhållande till real optionsanalys fungerar när man ska bestämma graden av flexibilitet.

Full textAbstract:
rea of real estate practice is extremely extensive and real-estate market as a whole conceals and connects many scientific disciplines that reflect and contribute to its functioning. Differentiating market and curiosity, whether existing legislation reflects the current need for real estate market in the Czech Republic, played an important role in choosing the theme of my final thesis. I performed an analysis of adjustments related to business in real estate activities. With a view to these facts has been made establishment, that the current legislation appears to be "totally inadequate". It does not define any criteria that would select those in participating in the property market in Czech Republic. The only solution to this absurd situation of trade law is an amendment or other legislation to ensure the entry of new players on the real estate market, provided proof of professional competence and moral integrity, or the introduction of compulsory licenses in real estate activity, which should lead to an overall improvement in the real estate market - not only commercially and ehically.

Studien behandlar vad sex studenter och tre arbetsgivare har för uppfattning och syn på praktiken en fastighetsmäklarstudent måste genomföra för att registreras som fastighetsmäklare. Studien behandlar också hur kunskapsöverföringen upplevs av såväl studenter som arbetsgivare. Syftet är att genom kvalitativa intervjuer utreda studenters och arbetsgivares uppfattning och syn inom centrala områden vad gäller en mäklarstuderandes praktik. Områden som behandlas är bland annat kunskapsöverföring och anställning. Vårt resultat visar att praktiken generellt uppfattas som positiv och givande ur både studenters och arbetsgivares perspektiv. Resultatet visar också att det kunskapsgap som finns vad gäller teoretiska kunskaper som studenten får genom skolan och den kunskap studenten får genom praktiken, inte täcks fullt ut. De tio obligatoriska veckorna är för korta för att en fullständig kunskapsöverföring ska ske.This essay deals with the perception of the mandatory practice of the real estate students in Sweden that must be accomplished to become a certified real estate agent. The goal is to investigate the matter through qualitative interviews with six students of Malmö högskola and three major employers in the Malmö area. Key areas that are scrutinized are the transfer of knowledge, employment and engagement. Our findings demonstrate that the general view of the practice within the real estate brokerage business is good and rewarding for both students and employers. The findings also show that there is a gap of knowledge between the theoretical education and the practice based education which is not fully covered. The obligatory ten weeks of practice may be considerd too short for a complete knowledge transfer to occur.

Real property has been called the corporation's last undermanaged resource. However, during the past decade, companies have begun to concentrate more on what constitutes 25 to 40% of a typical corporation's assets. US corporate real estate assets amount to greater than $3 trillion and real estate expenses are typically second or third highest on the corporate ledger, only behind payroll and sometimes technology. Corporate executives have begun to realize the business value real estate can have. Facilities lacking the proper location, finance, design, or the proper amount of flexibility required to manage internal and external uncertainties can negatively impact the corporation's bottom line. Meanwhile, strategic planning increases in importance in the international setting due to the risks and rewards of executing business strategies increases at the international level. The collapse of communism in Central and Eastern Europe has opened twenty-eight countries to free markets. Corporations are hungry to expand into these markets which offer the opportunity of serving over 400 million customers. Uncertainties are heightened in transitional economies, making international corporate real estate management that much more challenging. This thesis research was a qualitative exploration of the corporate real estate challenges and practices in one particular transitional economy, Ukraine. Corporate real estate in Ukraine was found to be transactional in nature, not strategic. Almost all decisions are made locally. The challenges found in Ukraine center around an immature administrative infrastructure along with corporate efforts to control the costs associated with real estate. Although complex, the challenges found in Ukraine do not preclude participation in the market; rather, they merely impede the process.

This work was inspired by three factors: as real estate increasingly becomes a global investment option, investors around the world turn their attention to real estate emerging markets, such as the Latin American one, looking for i) attractive returns, ii) diversification and iii) the option of liquidity. The latter characteristic, which has been -at varying degrees- more and more required by investors, is crucial in determining the investment strategy regarding target allocation for each real estate asset class. It is crucial because, although every asset class behaves differently, real estate is an illiquid investment by nature; it involves a large amount of capital, whose return comes in the form of both yield and appreciation, resulting in lengthy due diligence periods and costly transactions. Is important to note that attractive returns in emerging real estate markets do not always come easy; the lack of transparency and information in these markets is, many times, the toughest barrier to break. This document proposes a methodology, based on economic models and mathematical procedures, to jump across the information barrier. With this in mind, this thesis explores Real Estate Open-ended Funds and REITs, the principal real estate investment vehicles that provide liquidity to investors, in order to outline the specific characteristics that the underlying assets of a liquid real estate fund in Latin America should have. Once the characteristics are defined, the document analyzes the historic performance of different asset classes and sub-classes to narrow the investment spectrum. The analysis was done on US data, as no historic real estate information is currently available for Latin America. Through a set of equations that resulted from a regression analysis based on the Four Quadrant Model (4Q)1, the performance of three selected retail asset sub-types in the US was projected to six Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru). The final product of this work is the proposal of an investment portfolio, based on the projected performance of three retail asset sub-types across six Latin American countries. The investment portfolio was calculated based on the modern portfolio theory (MPT)2.

Real estate investment firms have the ever increasing need for understanding their firm's strengths and weaknesses, their performance relative to their peers and competitors, and for developing assessment tools for facilitating more informed investment and management decisions. One potentially very useful tool to further these objectives, a tool that is so far underutilized and underappreciated, is investment performance attribution analysis. Such performance attribution may be broadly characterized as the partitioning of the total investment return of a particular manager or portfolio in order to quantify and help to understand and assess the components and determinants of the overall investment performance. Traditional investment attribution analysis, adopted from the securities investment industry, has focused primarily on the portfolio level, where property selection and allocation factors are the two primary attributes of total return that can be parsed and benchmarked. In the case of real estate investments, property-level investment functions such as operational management and asset transaction execution, which are not captured by a traditional attribution analysis, also play a major role in the overall investment returns. During the past two decades a system to drill the investment performance attribution down to a deeper level, separating the asset "selection" component into further breakouts, including income return and components of the capital return (cash flow change and yield change), have been propounded by influential firms such as the Investment Property Databank (IPD) based in the UK. In a 2003 article David Geltner proposed a system for property-level performance attribution (PPA) based on the since-inception IRR of each individual property investment. This thesis furthered Geltner's work on PPA by an in depth exploration of the application of the IRR-Based Property-Level Performance Attribution analysis based on a large-scale, real-world-based case study of a complete set of actual core-asset round-trip transactions completed by several internally managed funds in the institutional investment industry. Furthermore, this thesis explored the use of PPA for organizational management diagnostics, and thereby demonstrated the potential of using the PPA analysis as an investigative tool for developing plausible hypotheses about a firm's investment management strengths and weaknesses.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The considerations of non-real estate private organisations in South Africa when outsourcing their corporate real estate management (CREM) functions are examined. The investigation seeks to determine the elements that impact the decision to outsource CREM functions; the characteristics looked for in service providers and if there is a mismatch between what corporate entities desire from CREM outsourcing and what service providers deliver.
Design – The study is grounded on a broad analysis of the literature globally and locally; as well as data collected through semi-structured interviews to build four (4) case studies; to gather information about a small set of organisations, within the Johannesburg Metropolitan area of South Africa, on their CREM outsourcing activities. Inductive content analysis will be used to analyse the data collected.
Findings – All the organisations outsource parts of their CREM. However, the incidence of CREM outsourcing has neither increased nor decreased in the last three (3) years. Four (4) CREM services are outsourced; facilities management is the most frequently outsourced, followed by subject matter expertise in second and real estate management and transaction management in joint third. The majority of the organisations adhere to a global outsourcing strategy, as opposed to a local or no strategy. Correspondingly, the majority of the organisations have a formal guideline. Seven (7) motives or drivers for CREM outsourcing were uncovered. Access to technical expertise and flexibility were both in first place, followed by cost savings and lack of internal resources in joint second and access to local expertise, focus on core business value chain activities and risk mitigation in shared third.
South African organisations identify service providers through four (4) mechanisms: firstly a request for proposals (advertising), direct approach in second and associate recommendations and third-party search in joint third. Seventeen (17) characteristics were identified that influence the selection of a service provider. Of greatest weight is references/reputation, relevant experience, the amount of fee charged and technical expertise in joint first. In joint second; local experience, understanding the client’s organisation, flexible service terms, integrity of approach, regulatory compliance and business values and ethos. This is followed by service provider capacity, individual capability, unconflicted, strong management capability, transparency, strong advisory capability and trust in shared third. The majority of the organisations judged CREM outsourcing successful and twelve (12) attributes were identified that impact the success of CREM outsourcing. Strong advisory capability dominated the list, followed by understanding the client’s organisation and technical expertise in mutual second place. In shared third place, unconflicted, strong management capability, professional integrity, market knowledge value-add, delivering the pledged service, flexible service terms, responsiveness, cost savings and transparency.
Practical Implications – A strengthened and grounded understanding of the considerations of non-real estate private organisations in South Africa within the process of CREM outsourcing, will provide an empirical foundation upon which service providers may base their strategic positioning within the local market.

Real Options analysis has only begun to be recognized as way to evaluate real estate and is considered "beyond the cutting edge" of financial analysis. Several academic papers have looked at ways that real estate can be analyzed using real options; however a universally practical financial model using real options has not successfully been achieved. There are several reasons why real options analysis has not quickly come to the forefront of financial analysis. The first obstacle is that real options analysis can be quite rigorous and mathematically complex, making it difficult to be easily adopted by the everyday analyst. Presently, the most common method of analyzing real estate is using Discounted Cash Flow, which is relatively systematic and can be universally understood by most persons in the finance world. However, real options theory is not nearly as intuitive, even to the most sophisticated financial persons. There is no tried and true, universally recognized methodology for real options analysis of real estate, at least not yet. Discounted Cash Flow does a very good job analyzing most real estate. However, complex, multi-phased, or very speculative developments justify significantly more sophisticated analysis methods, such as real options.
(cont.) Real options is relatively new to real estate, and awaits daring pioneers who are willing to create intuitive, thorough, and transparent models that could be used by future real estate analysts before real options analysis will ever become a mainstream method for analyzing real estate. With this in mind, this thesis intends to present a practical, comprehensive, and intuitively transparent financial model using Microsoft Excel for analyzing real estate development projects. This thesis will hopefully serve as a basis for future models, and will aid in others' understanding of the advantages and drawbacks of such analysis and how to properly utilize it as a tool for real-world projects. It is also the intent of this model to be utilized and further refined by future students in the Real Estate Development Studio course at MIT and by real-world real estate practitioners.

Morges (Schweiz) växer i en situation av markbrist. Industriområden blir strategiska förtätningslägen, vilket hotar näringslivets förutsättningar på lång sikt. Detta examensarbete undersöker under vilka villkor industriområden i Morges kan integreras i funktionsblandad stadsmiljö utan att äventyra näringslivets förutsättningar. Fallstudier från Bern, Haag, Genève och Bryssel används som ”best practices” för att genomföra analysen. Analysen visar att hanteringen av störningar och logistik samt ett stort offentligt ingripande är nyckelfaktorer för att tillgodose näringslivets utveckling i ett funktionsblandat område. ”Best practices” visar sig kunna vara effektiva om de används som stöd i beslutsfattande och som inspirationskälla.The region of Morges (Switzerland) grows in a context of land shortage. Industrial zones become strategic areas for denser settlements, threatening the local economic development in the long term. This master thesis investigates the conditions in which industrial zones in the region of Morges can be integrated in a function mixed urban area without jeopardising local activities. Case studies from Bern, The Hague, Geneva and Brussels are used as “best practices” in order to perform the analysis. Results show that the monitoring of disturbances and of logistics as well as a strong public commitment are key factors to a successful reconversion of industrial zones towards functional mix. “Best practices” are efficient if used as a support to decision making and as a source of inspiration.
La région de Morges (VD, Suisse) se développe dans un contexte de pression foncière. Les zones industrielles (ZIZA) deviennent des sites stratégiques de densification, menaçant l’économie locale à terme. Ce travail de master étudie les conditions d’une intégration urbaine des zones industrielles de la région morgienne qui ne menace pas les activités locales. Des études de cas de Berne, La Haye, Genève et Bruxelles sont utilisés comme des « bonnes pratiques » pour répondre à la question de recherche. Les résultats montrent que la gestion des nuisances et de la logistique ainsi qu’une forte action publique sont des facteurs clés de réussite d’une requalification d’une zone industrielle vers une zone mixte. Les « bonnes pratiques » s’avèrent efficaces en tant qu’aide à la décision et en tant que source d’inspiration.
Die Region Morges (VD, Schweiz) gerät in einem Mangel an Bauland. Die Industriezonen werden als strategische Verdichtungsgebiete betrachtet. Langfristig wird die Region als Standort bedroht. Diese Masterarbeit untersucht, inwiefern die Industriezonen der Region Morges städtebaulich integriert werden können, ohne die lokalen Gewerben zu drohen. Fallstudien aus Bern, Den Haag, Genf und Brüssel werden als „Best Practices“ benutzt, um die Analyse durchzuführen. Aus der Analyse ergibt sich, dass die Steuerung der Störungen und der Logistik sowie ein starkes öffentliches Eingreifen Schlüsselfaktoren für eine gelungene funktionelle Durchmischung in Industriezonen sind. „Best Practices“ erweisen sich als effizient, wenn sie als Entscheidungshilfe und als Inspirationsquelle benutzt werden.

The aim of my thesis is to focus on issues of ethics in real estate operations and search optimal criteria for ethics in the real estate business. I mention ethical codes and their application and rationale at work of real estate agencies and professional associations. Furthermore I explore the real estate market in the Czech Republic in terms of ethics and I mention characteristics of ethically solid agencies, however I will also devote most common unfair practices within the real estate business and the current problems of the real estate market, which do not contribute to an ethical environment in business. Using the survey I examine thinking about ethics in the real estate business from two perspectives, namely from the perspective of the client, whether former, current or potential, and from the perspective of real estate agencies and brokers.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2002.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Owners of directly held, large commercial properties mostly face problems regarding liquidity and sometimes higher-risk exposure due to large properties dominating their property portfolio. • Exit vehicles in the listed property sector on the JSE are gaining momentum but are, however, still facing the negative impact of overall bear market conditions. • An exit vehicle in the bond market can serve as an alternative, where a Limited Purpose Company/Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) acquires a rental income stream from a portfolio of properties and issues bonds. The funds raised from bond investors, who focus on the credit rating of the income stream and not the properties, are then used to acquire the property assets. • Current market conditions, favour an asset-backed securitisation of property leases. Low interest rates and other factors in the current market, as discussed in this document, ensure lower costs of debt and easier access to capital when funds are raised on the bond market, relative to the equity markets, with highly geared structures not necessarily causing a negative impact on the credit rating (80% - 90% gearing possible with A - AA local credit rating). • Usually a promoter, a Merchant Bank and a few institutions/ pension funds are involved. Example: Institution X will be requested to take up an equity stake in the fund by selling some properties or stakes therein (Institution X buildings) and receiving payment in a combination of cash, junior bonds and equity. The benefits to Institution X are discussed on page 39.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Eienaars van groot kommersiële eiendomme wat direk besit word, ondervind normaalweg probleme rakende likiditeit en verhoogde risiko a.g.v. die groot eiendomme wat hulle portefeulje domineer. • JEB (Johannesburgse Aandelebeurs) genoteerde maatskappye, as uitgangstrategie vir die verkoop van eiendom, is 'n oplossing, maar beer mark toestande verlaag die moontlikheid. • 'n Maatskappy genoteer op BESA (Effektemark) kan as uitgang- strategie dien, waar die voormelde maatskappy met beperkte aanspreeklikheid die huurinkomstestroom van 'n portefeulje van eiendom aankoop en effekte uitgee vir die finansiering van die transaksie. Die beleggers wie die effekte koop, fokus op die kredietgradering van die effekte en nie die eiendom as onderliggende bate nie. • Huidige mark omstandighede verbeter die moontlikheid van 'n bategesekureerde sekuritusasie van eiendomshuurkontrakte. Lae rentekoerse en ander faktore wat in hierdie dokument bespreek word, verseker laer koste van kapitaal en makliker toegang tot fondse relatief tot die aandelemarkte. Hoë hefboom-finansiering is moontlik sonder te groot impak op die kredietgradering. (A-AA kredietgradering moontlik met 80%-90% skuld) • Normaalweg is 'n promoter, 'n beleggingsbank en 'n paar institusies/ pensioenfondse betrokke. Bv. Institusie X word versoek om aandeelhouding op te neem in 'n maatskappy deur eiendomme te verkoop aan die voormelde maatskappy en betaling te ontvang in die vorm van 'n kombinasie van kontant, junior effekte en aandele. Die voordele vir Institusie X word bepreek op bl. 39

This research proposed to question the development of what was defined as historical practices (commercial, social and political institutions), of the economic activity of the real estate brokerage in the Rio Grande do Norte from the progressive institutionalization of economic agents - individuals (realtors) and legal (real estate) - based on two main approaches: a) the development of economic activity as an integral segment of a fraction of capital (POULANTZAs, 1985; LESSA, 1981). This work set out from a socio-historical approach of the historical practices development the of real estate brokerage in Brazil started in the Southeast, especially in the cities of Rio de Janeiro and S?o Paulo as a result of the "expansion of capitalist relations by the housing sector" (RIBEIRO , 1996). especially the real estate capital ; b) the historical development of relations between labor and capital within the activity, in other words, the development of the relationship between realtors and Real Estate in relation to "group of interests" and their "collective actions" (OFFE, 1984). These historical practices are defined in this research as: 1) mercantile practices, times when there was no distinction between the activity of real estate brokerage and other forms of mercantile capital; 2) social practices, which began in the 1930s, when agents of real estate are to be distinguished from each other within the activity through Taylorist division of labor between workers realtors and developers of real estate; 3) political and institutional practices, initiated in 1962, characterized by State action, in the individualization and distinction of the agents of real estate brokerage as socioprofessional category regulated throughout Brazil by Law 4.116/62 and 6.530/78. The results achieved by the present study showed that in Rio Grande do Norte, due to the specifics as to the peripheral processes of urbanization of the constitution of the land market, as well as the process of conservative modernization of the oligarchic State from the 1960s (CLEMENTINE, 1995; FERREIRA, 1996, 2010, TRINDADE, 2004), the State was led to the development of a late manifestation of the historical practices of real estate brokerage. In other words, it was a process in which historical practices, in particular social practices, not fully developed, mitigating, thus the perception of realtors from his position in the process of exploitation of labor by the Real Estate. And, as a result, of their collective interests front of them.
Esta pesquisa se prop?s a perquirir o desenvolvimento do que foi definido como pr?ticas hist?ricas (mercantis, sociais e pol?tico-institucionalizadas), da atividade econ?mica da corretagem de im?veis no Rio Grande do Norte a partir da progressiva institucionaliza??o de seus agentes econ?micos pessoas f?sicas (corretores de im?veis) e jur?dicas (imobili?rias) com base em dois enfoques principais: a) o desenvolvimento da atividade econ?mica enquanto segmento integrante de uma fra??o de capital (POULANTZAS, 1985; LESSA, 1981), em especial da fra??o imobili?ria do capital ; b) o desenvolvimento hist?rico das rela??es entre o trabalho e o capital no interior da atividade, ou seja, o desenvolvimento das rela??es entre corretores de im?veis e imobili?rias no que tange aos grupos de interesse e de suas a??es coletivas (OFFE, 1984). Este trabalho partiu de uma abordagem socio-hist?rica do desenvolvimento das pr?ticas hist?ricas da corretagem de im?veis no Brasil iniciadas no Sudeste, especialmente nas cidades do Rio de Janeiro e S?o Paulo como resultado do processo de expans?o das rela??es capitalistas pelo setor habitacional (RIBEIRO, 1996). Tais pr?ticas hist?ricas est?o definidas no presente trabalho como: 1) pr?ticas mercantis: momentos em que n?o havia distin??o entre a atividade da corretagem de im?veis e outras manifesta??es do capital mercantil; 2) pr?ticas sociais: iniciadas nos anos de 1930, momento em que os agentes da corretagem de im?veis passam a se distinguir entre si, no interior da atividade atrav?s da divis?o taylorista do trabalho entre trabalhadores corretores de im?veis, e empres?rios das imobili?rias; 3) pr?ticas pol?tico institucionalizadas: iniciadas em 1962 caracterizadas pela a??o do Estado na individualiza??o e distin??o dos agentes da corretagem de im?veis, como categoria socio-profissional regulamentada em todo Brasil pelas Leis 4.116/62 e 6.530/78. Os resultados alcan?ados pelo presente estudo mostraram que no Rio Grande do Norte, em decorr?ncia das especificidades quanto aos processos de urbaniza??o perif?rica da constitui??o do mercado de terras, assim como, do processo de moderniza??o conservadora do Estado Olig?rquico a partir da d?cada de 1960 (CLEMENTINO, 1995; FERREIRA, 1996; 2010; TRINDADE, 2004), o Estado foi levado ao desenvolvimento de uma manifesta??o tardia das pr?ticas hist?ricas da corretagem de im?veis. Em outras palavras, um processo no qual as pr?ticas hist?ricas, em especial as pr?ticas sociais, n?o se desenvolveram plenamente, mitigando, dessa forma, a percep??o dos corretores de im?veis de sua posi??o no processo de explora??o do trabalho pelas imobili?rias. E, como consequ?ncia, de seus interesses coletivos frente ?s mesmas.

Full textAbstract:
Land information management in Ghana, as in many developing countries, remains a practice monopolised by public sector land administration agencies, which are known for being inefficient in delivering services that satisfy the needs of citizens. Under this monopolised regime, landed property related data gathering, processing through land registration, storage and dissemination of the information as final product for public use is entirely based on expert knowledge. Meanwhile, reliance on this kind of knowledge for land information management has continuously failed to promote smooth flow and a broad based access to reliable information for decision making by citizens. This failure has created a huge land information gap between market participants’ especially genuine and fraudulent landed property owners on one hand and potential buyers, lenders, and investors on the other hand. Thus, there is information asymmetry, which this study identifies as a major contributory factor to the challenges of uncertainties and high transaction costs that characterise dealings in urban real estate markets in Ghana. In order to verify how the information gap can be closed, this research adopts quantitative research methodology. The research mainly explores multinomial logistic regression model to test Economic Theory of Knowledge propounded by Hayek (1945) using Ghana as the context of study. Primary data was collected from potential land information suppliers within the private sector and existing users of land information as likely beneficiaries of an efficient land information management regime. Interrater agreement index and Pearson’s bivariate correlation analysis were used to analyse primary data gathered from users of land information in relation to land information needs and competition in land information harnessing. Following verification of the relationship between competition and economic knowledge, the key research finding is that there are two kinds of land information management knowledge and these are expert and entrepreneurial land information management knowledge. Thus, the research presents empirical evidence that out of four types of entrepreneurial knowledge verified, two types namely adaptive and cost-efficient knowledge are most likely to influence competition in land information supply. Also, competition is likely to deliver land information services that satisfy the needs of users of land information. Altogether, the research findings converge with the theory verified. The research outcome suggests that deregulation of state monopoly of land information harnessing for competition among private economic actors in Ghana is due. Removing this barrier is likely to promote dynamic competition in which licensed land information suppliers can use adaptive and cost efficient knowledge in gathering and disseminating land information at competitive prices. The study also provides evidence that all-in-one land information, which is broadly accessible at competitive prices is likely to be required to help address the problem of information asymmetry in the context of Ghana. For purposes of practice in the context of urban real estate markets in Ghana, a framework based on the research findings is developed and validated. The framework is proposed to inform policy decision on deregulation for competition in land information harnessing to enable the real estate sector function well. To kick start the process, deregulation in land data gathering and dissemination of land information is suggested.

Estudos sobre o software, que ocupa um lugar destacado dentre as tecnologias da informação, têm abordado suas atividades a partir do enfoque econômico. Tendo como objetivo alcançar uma compreensão a respeito do modo de construção de práticas estratégicas de produtores/fornecedores de software referentes aos seus produtos e/ou serviços, a nossa visada ao mercado de software é feita a partir de um enfoque econômico e social. Por isto, balizamos o estudo na busca de um entendimento a respeito da construção social deste mercado, significando uma busca de aspectos históricos relevantes sobre o seu desenvolvimento e de elementos característicos da estrutura social deste mercado. Apreendemos esta estrutura a partir da identificação de diferentes tipos de atores deste mercado, de relações de dominação existentes entre eles, de práticas estratégicas que utilizam, mobilizando diferentes espécies de capitais (p. ex.: financeiro, tecnológico, comercial, social, simbólico), e a partir da estruturação das suas ofertas, em termos de modalidades de software e serviços relacionados. Utilizamos como referencial teórico a Sociologia Econômica, a Teoria dos Campos, Estratégia como Prática e Capacidades Dinâmicas. Para as análises da pesquisa utilizamos múltiplas fontes de evidências e diferentes métodos, como observação participante, pesquisa histórica e estudo de caso, combinados num desenho de pesquisa onde cada etapa procura subsídios nos resultados das anteriores. Adotamos como estratégia de pesquisa, análises no nível macro, da construção e da estrutura social do mercado de software, e análises no nível micro, de práticas estratégicas de empresas posicionadas do lado da demanda e do lado da oferta de software, com um estudo de caso no mercado de software para imobiliárias. Dentre os resultados da pesquisa está a identificação de práticas estratégicas de empresas de software, que agrupamos em categorias como “incorporação de inovação”, “desenvolvimento de produto”, “licenciamento de uso”, “prestação de serviços de suporte técnico e manutenção” e “comercialização de software produto”. Foi possível estabelecer vinculações destas práticas com elementos da estrutura social do campo pesquisado, particularmente com as relações de dominação.Scientific studies on software, which occupy a notorious place in the field of information technology, approach their activities from an economic perspective. Aiming to reach an understanding on how to build strategic practices for producers /suppliers of software, vis-à-vis products and/or services, the target software market is, therefore, seen from an economic and social focus. This work was framed to foster comprehension on the social construction of this market, leading to an investigation of its relevant historical aspects and the main characteristics of its social structure. Such structure is acknowledged from the identification of different types of actors in this market as well as the power relations between them which, through their strategic practices, mobilize different kinds of capital (e.g.: financial, technological, commercial, social, and symbolic). It also focuses on their framework of offers regarding their types of software and related services. The theoretical focal point is on the Economic Sociology, the Theory of Fields, Strategy as Practice and the Dynamic Capabilities. Multiple sources of evidence and different methods were used in the analysis of this survey, such as participant observation, historical research and case study, combined with a research design in which each step of the search results from previous outcomes. The search strategy used included analyses at the macro level, of social construction and social structure of the software market, as well as analyses at the micro level of strategic practices of companies placed on the software demand and supply sides, with a study case in the software market for real estate. Among the results of the research is the identification of strategic practices of software companies, which grouped into categories such as "incorporation of innovation", "product development", "license of use", "provision of technical support and maintenance" and "software product marketing". It was possible to establish connections between these practices and the elements of the social structure of this field researched, particularly with the relations of domination.

The Chinese contribute to the urbanization process in Africa. By combining development aid and business, a number of Chinese stakeholders – urban planning and design institutes, construction firms, and real estate developers – design and build there, on various scales, a great variety of projects such as urban roads, housing estates, satellite-towns, special economic zones planned as new cities. Chinese urban development projects in Africa have sped up the metropolization processin the largest African cities by making suburban areas denser and denser. This has contributed to the development of a new urban stratum in Africa.

Real rights for security have diversity in theory; Parties have a flexible space in the use of real rights for security. Alienation guarantee includes alienation guarantee for movable and immovable properties. For movables security, many scholars believe that the Personal Property Secured Transactions Act shall be applied for. Therefore, only the Real Estate alienation guarantee is discussed in this thesis. The real estate alienation guarantee is a type of security of real rights law, which has a long history in abroad and most scholars and practitioners recognize its existence.However, there is lack of law to expressly provide whether it is suitable for the national conditions and practice of the R.O.C.. Therefore, whether it is necessary to legislate shall be studied and discussed further, which is surely the purpose of the study. In real estate practice, there are some types of security similar to real estate alienation guarantee, such as traditional sale security, buy-back, as well as the newly emerging finance lease in recent years, trust to the same person after mortgage, warranty trust, mortgage guarantee, etc. However, the current laws of the R.O.C are too old to cope with the related problems. Thereby some scholars advocate the theory of alienation guarantee in order to apply and to solve legal problems. So the study and exploration of this thesis focus on real estate registration practice. The thesis is organized as follows: (a) the first chapter explains the motivation, purpose, scope and approach of the study on real estate alienation guarantee; (b) the second chapter introduces the origin, evolution and relevant theories of real estate alienation guarantee so as to learn the current development situation of traditional real estate alienation guarantee; (c) the third chapter sorts out the newly emerging types in real estate practice in recent years, elaborates their social situation, properties and theoretical disputes, analyzes their characteristics and compares with the real estate alienation guarantee mentioned in former chapter, in order to observe whether the real estate alienation guarantee can be referred in some aspects; (d) the fourth chapter firstly discusses the existing problems and the relevant expedient solving measures before the legislation of real estate alienation guarantee. Then it states the direction of legislation of real estate alienation guarantee which scholars planned. And for possible problems arising from real estate registration practice after legislation, it explores suitable supporting measures to facilitate the real estate registration practice; (e) the fifth chapter sums up experiences and ideas originating from the aforesaid comparison and application and puts forward suggestions, hoping to get effects of “throw out a brick to attract a jade” and facilitate the legislation and application of future real estate alienation guarantee.

ABSTRACT The real estate industry has been through drastic changes these ten years. Speculative real estate investing, real estate prices soaring, and the intervention of government policies has driven the market into chaos, to the point that the demand for creating new advertisements and advertising budgets have also been influenced. Decline in the market of advertising and the lowering of budgets are both expected outcomes of that situation. Through practicing the process of creating real estate commercials, we hope to find answers to problems that arise during the creation of advertisements - such as how to design creative advertising with low costs, how to deal with and plan out a real estate commercial when faced with a tight budget, and how the use of new technology can reduce labor and costs when creating a video. The motive of this creation analysis is that there is merit in analyzing thoroughly by the means of actual practice in the subject. This project takes advertisements of these last few years as samples, and by means of purposive sampling, and also through investigation and analysis of the samples during our practical creation, we hope to discover more ways to implement production technology of real estate commercials and share our experience; that is the main objective of this creation analysis. The writers of this study have investigated by looking through written papers in the country, and found that there are not many studies regarding the analysis of real estate advertising through practical creation. We hope that this project will raise awareness and spark discussion within industries of real estate, advertising and marketing, movie making, and also academic circles relevant to real estate advertising. Aiding the development of both the real estate and advertising industry is the primary motive behind conducting this study.

A Study on Feasibility of Real Estate Securitization Practice in Farmers’ Credit Unions Abstract The survival of the farmers’ associations in Taiwan always is the attachment in the countryside, the agriculture and the farmers, but after 1990s, the overall economic environment changes dramatically both in domestic and overseas. In order to join WTO, all of the agriculture, countryside and the farmers in Taiwan have the enormous impact by regarding in the protection of agriculture. Since the base had gone, at last the farmers’ associations have to surface what course to follow being at a loss. In recent years, the default debts of the farmers’ credit unions climbs up suddenly and the ability of making profits glide down fast, therefore the innovation of the farmers’ credit unions is imperative. According to the particularity of agricultural finance makes process difficulty. The farmers’ associations will develop the new direction by establishing the National Agriculture Treasury under "the Agricultural Finance Law". However the farmers’ credit unions must become the shareholder system of the national agriculture national treasury only and then has the opportunity to develop the sustainability. But the threshold of entering the shareholder system of the National Agriculture Treasury is the net worth of the farmers’ credit unions that must be the positive number. In view of this study is explored an avenue to elevate the net worth of the farmers’ credit unions, therefore the introduction of real estate securitization system is needed. According to the experience of the financial organ is besteading in real estate securitization practicing both foreign and domestic system that is helped the farmers’ credit unions to solve the difficult position. This study is using the literature discussion and the analysis of deeply interview. The feasibility of real estate securitization practice in farmers’ credit unions specifically discusses the question which the farmers credit unions at present faces, and which the experience and correlation questions (feasibility and market) of implementing real estate securitization both foreign and domestic part. The result of this study showed that the farmers’ credit unions are not only the initiative organization for the negotiable securities sign, but also its nature completely tallies with law. Therefore the farmers’ credit unions implement the real estate securitization to lay the legal foundation. The farmers’ credit unions may develop type of product should be a main axle for the real estate asset trust (REAT) of the negotiable securities. As the goal by taking punishment and financing to the real estate asset trust (REAT) of the negotiable securities is the most feasible product that collecting publicly or issuing in private. The farmers’ credit unions implements the real estate securitization to produce the feedback value：the advancement of fluidity and cash flow, the advancement of the net worth in balance sheet, making capital asset effective. Above the feedback value is obviously approving the question that the fluidity and the promotion of net worth in the farmers’ credit unions.

Full textAbstract:
An ongoing debate in the corporate finance world concerns the question of a firm's optimal capital structure. More specifically, is there a way of dividing a firm's capital into debt and equity so as to maximize the value of the firm? From a practical standpoint, this question is of utmost importance for corporate financial officers. Yet, the academic literature has not been very helpful to provide clear guidance on practical issues. Except for a few theoretical models, there is a lack of literature concernmg how companies should decide their leverage ratios in practice. These models are unfortunately not applicable in real practice because of their inability to provide managers with a precise optimal leverage level. The purpose of this study concerns the practical matter of deciding the appropriate capital structure and the possibility of improvement for the companies. Specifically: How do the case companies decide their capital structure? Are their current capital stmctures optimal or is there room for improvement? To be able to examine these questions it was necessary to investigate companies that are as comparable as possible within the same industry. Different industries were identified based on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange industry classification and were analyzed for comparability issues. The real estate industry was found to experiences very similar business and has an opportunity to take more debt due to the nature of its asset structure. Three companies were selected from the property segment of the real estate industry based on their leverage ratios and companies with highest, medium, and lowest leverages in the industry were selected. Gold-edge was found to be the highest levered company in the industry, while Samrand and Putprop were found to be average and least levered in the industry respectively. The findings indicate that none of the companies uses capital structure models when deciding their capital structure. The case companies' capital structure indicates that Gold-edge's current capital structure is considered as close to optimal as possible while Putprop and Samrand current capital structure are not optimal and there is room for improvement.Thesis (MBA)-University of Natal, Durban, 2003.

The selection and structure of the purchase price mechanism in an acquisition has a material
effect on timing, price as well as the success of a transaction. Consequently, negotiations between
the contracting parties are often time intensive and costly. This paper investigates purchase
price mechanisms in the real estate industry to find out whether it is possible to increase
efficiency of negotiations. To answer this question, the paper analyses 23 purchase contracts
from transactions in the real estate industry. Findings indicate repeating patterns in the approach
which are, albeit the recognition of individual deal specifics, consolidated into a framework.

After years of development, the country’s current judicial practice on the type of contract of borrowing other’s name for real estate registration has moved on from denying its validity to recognizing it as a nameless contract in the majority of cases. Additionally, based on the principle of freedom of contract, under the condition that the said contract does not violate general legal principle of imperative provision, public policy and morals in the Civil Code, its validity shall be recognized. In Mainland China, there are similar acts with borrowing other’s name for real estate registration, which is known locally as “Buying a House by the Name of another Person.” This research aims to collect and analyze the literature and practical judgments concerning the issue of borrowing other’s name for real estate registration so as to clarify the characteristics, validity, and its legal status in Mainland China and Taiwan. There is a gradual increase of legal disputes involving borrowing other’s name for real estate registration in recent years, which demonstrates the significance of the controversy involved in judicial practice, as well as the fact that the reason for initiating litigation has become diversified. In addition, in civil litigation, the defining factor of winning or losing a lawsuit is the burden of proof. Therefore, during litigation, it is extremely crucial for litigants on how the court distributes the burden of proof and how to decide whether the scenario of borrowing other’s name for real estate registration takes place or not, as well as if consistent and common logic and standard are found in judicial decisions involving similar causes and facts. The aim of this research is to summarize and categorize the features and imagery of court cases of similar causes and facts involving borrowing other’s name for real estate registration, and then uses the said summary and categorization to observe and examine the Taiwan Taoyuan District Court’s judgment of civil litigations involving borrowing other’s name for real estate registration in 2017. The researcher cross-examines and investigates the interactions between various types of litigations and the litigants’ burden of proof in judicial practice, and proposes his initial observations and analysis in how the court affirms the occurrence of borrowing other’s name for real estate registration, how it allocates the burden of proof, and how it investigates the facts and interpreted the laws, and if consistent and common standard exists in the process of judgment. Finally, through the aforementioned empirical observation, the research proposes some perspectives in response to the controversy surrounding borrowing other’s name for real estate registration, and aims to provide guidance for litigants in cases involving borrowing other’s name for real estate registration. It is hoped that the humble opinions proposed in this research would serve as a blueprint for further studies of the legal systems of borrowing other’s name for real estate registration.

2017The purpose of this research report was to introduce evidence on executive attitudes towards Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM) practices and value adds in South African nonreal estate companies. This research report sought evidence on how South African non-real estate companies manage their Corporate Real Estate assets in line with their quest to achieve their organisations’ overall corporate strategies. Online questionnaires and surveys with both CRE experts and other CRE executives have been conducted to get the most representative view in terms of current practices related to Corporate Real Estate Management. Several organisations that are part of the survey have property portfolio of over buildings either owned or leased by them. However, it appears respondent organisations do not seem to put adequate emphasis of employing people with requisite real estate academic qualifications to manage their real estate portfolio. Even though over 70% of organisations indicated that they have a formally organised real estate unit or person responsible for managing real estate portfolio, the functions of these units do not match the standard functions identified in the literature i.e. Facilities Management, Property Management, Acquisitions & Disposals as well as Development. For 70% of organisations the CRE accounting officer is sitting at the level of Chief Financial Officer as well as National Manager. This research paper provides in-depth and evidence-based assessment of how senior executives monitor CREM practices and how they treat CRE within their non-real estate organisations in South Africa. The report also brings to light the executive attitude and understanding of variables that determines the value adds of CREM to their organisations’ overall corporate strategy. Executives should review whether their attitudes towards the management of CRE assets contribute in maximising the value these assets towards achieving the overall corporation’s strategic objectives.

Since the implementation of Clauses of the Real Estate Securitization Act on July 23, 2003, nearly 15 years have passed, the real estate securitization market in Taiwan still has a lot of room for hard work and development. This paper addresses the difficulties and problems in the operation of real estate investment trusts in practice, and the gap and limitation of law. It is expected that the division of authority and decision-making process of the trustees and real estate management institutions of Taiwan's real estate investment trusts, the opening of real estate or related rights of real estate under development and overseas, and the taxation of real estate investment trusts. In order to assist the development of the real estate securitization market in Taiwan, we will discuss the revision direction and supervision suggestions of Taiwan's real estate securitization regulations. This paper believes that Clauses of the Real Estate Securitization Act should be directly amended according to the act, or Financial Supervisory Commission shall issue an administrative order directly specifying and requiring the real estate management institution to act as a real estate investment trust fund to be a public offering company. To clearly define the division of authority and decision-making process of the trustee and the real estate management agency. Moreover, this paper believes that the long-term goal of the amendments to the Real Estate Securitization Ordinance should focus on simplifying the investigation and operation of real estate investment trust funds to invest in overseas real estate and reducing the tax burden of domestic corporate income. This paper hopes to create a distribution market and supervision environment that is more conducive to the development of Taiwan's real estate securitization market through Clauses of the Real Estate Securitization Act. It is also expected that through this article, we will improve the real estate securitization market, so that Clauses of the Real Estate Securitization Act can be the ultimate goal of protecting the majority of investors and promoting the development of the real estate economy.
