Pieter Ballon

Brussels Center for Competition Policy, Communication Sciences, Studies in Media, Innovation and Technology

Introducing this track in the SRP adds to the quality and ‘completeness’ of studying different parts of the value chain, including thus creation at ...

The Value of Belief: Plato on the Epistemological and Practical Value of doxa KU Leuven

Jan Opsomer

De Wulf-Mansion Centre for Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy

The proposed project aims at a new appraisal of belief (doxa) in Plato, focusing on its role within his concept of knowledge. This requires departing from the viewpoint of most available research on this topic, as the majority of scholarship on Plato’s epistemology still pejoratively conceives of the concept of belief. Knowledge is often seen as being sharply distinguished from belief and the former’s theoretical as well as practical superiority ...

Koen VANHOOF

Compensations upon exclusion and withdrawal remedies for shareholders – the balance between liquidity of the share and going-concern value of the company KU Leuven

Joeri Vananroye

Institute for Commercial and Insolvency Law

Shares in a company are often the most valuable asset of a shareholder. It is, however, difficult to convert the value of shares into money in order to protect the value of the company (going-concern value). Moreover, most non-listed companies have legal impediments to the transfer of shares. Combined with the lack of an economic market for these shares, these impediments disable a transfer of shares.

This leads to problematic ...

Customer retention is no guarantee for profits. This project focuses on "lifetime value" - that integrates profits (value) and retention (lifetime). This project also aims at measuring the impact of different lifecycle stages on lifetime value since previous research demonstraated that customers' needs, preferences and behavior may strongly depend on a particular stage, as well as the transition to another stage.

Value based mapping of ecosystem services. KU Leuven

Liesbet Vranken

Division of Bioeconomics

Achtergron en relevantie: natuur komt meer en meer in de verdrukking en ondanks allerhande Europese richtlijnen blijft de biodiversiteit in Vlaanderen achteruitgaan. Vanuit deze optiek is het maatschappelijk zeer relevant dat de waarde die natuurgebieden voor de mens hebben, beter in kaart gebracht wordt en waar mogelijk ook gemonetariseerd wordt. Dit kan via de ecosysteemgoederen en de goederen en diensten die de mens hiervan kan ontlenen, ...
