Making a market for art : Agnews and the National Gallery, 1855-1928Pezzini, Barbara January 2018 (has links)
The thesis investigates the interaction that developed between a major art dealer, Thos. Agnew and Sons (Agnews), and a principal public collection, the London National Gallery, from 1855 to 1928. Agnews played a crucial role in the life of the National Gallery and greatly facilitated the museum accession of important paintings, such as the Madonna Ansidei by Raphael, the Rokeby Venus by Velazquez, the Portrait of Doge Vincenzo Morosini by Tintoretto, and many others. In turn, collaborating with the National Gallery allowed Agnews to penetrate the international Old Masters market and reach for higher social standing. Through the analysis of ten case studies of acquisitions, which are supported by new archival evidence and are contextualised within a broader historical and theoretical framework, this thesis charts the emergence, development and decline of the rapport between the two organisations. It analyses how Agnews and the National Gallery began as two unconnected entities in the mid-nineteenth century, explores how their distinct trajectories turned into a close, collaborative rapport during the 1880s, and finally examines how in the third decade of the twentieth century they separated and initiated a newly detached professional relationship. Appropriating sociological theories by Pierre Bourdieu, Bruno Latour, Viviana Zelizer and others, this study investigates museum acquisitions as resulting from complex interplays of cultural and commercial forces within the field of cultural production. Acquisitions are further enlightened by the analysis of the networks that underpin them, which provide additional evidence on how economic factors are embedded within broader social constructs. By detailing and locating these processes and relationships within the historical context of a broad shift towards commercialisation, yet demonstrating that cultural elements are part of the dealers activities and that commercial values are an intrinsic component of the museum, this study provides an insight into the historical origins of modern-day relationships between museums and art dealers.

Previous issue date: 2012-07-20 / This study investigates the contributions of the interaction between public agencies for criminal justice system effectiveness in the light of the actors involved and with the conceptual framework theories of interorganizational networks, especially networks of public policies. The study was guided by the initial assumption that networks can provide better results for the public administration, compared to those that would occur through single organizations. The literature on the subject shows that, among other advantages, networks may be more appropriate to overcome complex problems, providing more flexibility than hierarchies, complementarity in the actions and encouraging collaboration. On the other hand, they point out limitations of managerial nature or related to accountability, legal and cultural issues, conflicts of interest and power. To obtain empirical data, we interviewed Federal Chief Police Officers, Federal Criminal Experts, Federal External Control Auditors, Financial and Control Analysts and Prosecutors, all holders of management function. By categorizing the testimonies collected in the field research it was possible to synthesize the perception of respondents, which revealed that, corroborating the attributes identified in the literature, there are several benefits of working in networks. But in the same way as seen in the literature, respondents also pointed out that networks present many challenges and limitations. / Este trabalho investiga as contribuições da interação entre os órgãos públicos para a efetividade do Sistema de Justiça Criminal, à luz dos atores envolvidos e tendo como arcabouço conceitual as teorias de redes interorganizacionais, notadamente redes de políticas públicas. O estudo foi orientado pela suposição inicial de que a atuação em rede pode proporcionar melhores resultados para a administração pública, comparativamente àqueles obtidos com as instituições trabalhando isoladamente. A literatura sobre o tema apresenta que, dentre outras vantagens, redes podem ser mais apropriadas para lidar com problemas complexos, proporcionando mais flexibilidade que as hierarquias, complementaridade nas ações e incentivo à colaboração. Por outro lado, aponta limitações de ordem gerencial ou relacionadas a prestação de contas e responsabilização, a questões legais e culturais, a conflitos de interesses e ao poder. Para a obtenção de dados empíricos, foram entrevistados Delegados de Polícia Federal, Peritos Criminais Federais, Auditores Federais de Controle Externo, Analistas de Finanças e Controle e Procuradores da República, todos detentores de função de gestão. Mediante a categorização dos depoimentos colhidos na pesquisa de campo foi possível sintetizar a percepção dos entrevistados, o que revelou que, corroborando os atributos identificados na literatura, vários são os benefícios da atuação em rede. Mas, do mesmo modo que verificado na literatura, os entrevistados igualmente destacaram que redes apresentam muitos desafios e limitações.

Le rôle des sociétés de capital-investissement dans la formation d'alliances stratégiques / The role of Private Equity-firms in the formation of strategic alliancesBurkhardt, Kirsten 27 February 2014 (has links)
Ce travail analyse le rôle des sociétés de capital-investissement dans la formation d’alliances stratégiques sur le marché français du capital-investissement. Après nous être fait une idée de l’importance du phénomène à l’aide des informations nouvelles que nous avons générées par notre propre enquête, nous apportons une explication au phénomène observé. L’analyse théorique se fait sous l’angle de la création de valeur actionnariale, en recourant conjointement aux théories contractuelles et cognitives. Les théories sociologiques des réseaux viennent compléter les principaux arguments de ces deux cadres théoriques. Le modèle explicatif qui en découle est ensuite mis à l’épreuve empirique à l’aide d’une étude multi-méthodes à visée infirmationniste, combinant une analyse économétrique et une étude de cas multiples. Nos résultats permettent de conclure que les sociétés françaises de capital-investissement jouent un rôle tant intentionnel que non intentionnel dans la formation d’alliances stratégiques pour leurs participations. Ces rôles mettent en avant une intervention tant passive qu’active des sociétés françaises de capital-investissement. Bien que l’argumentation cognitive trouve, dans son ensemble, plus de support que l’argumentation contractuelle, l’analyse fait ressortir l’intérêt de recourir à une utilisation conjointe des théories contractuelles et cognitives qui se révèlent complémentaires. / This research analyses the role of Private Equity firms in the formation of strategic alliances within the field of the French Private Equity market. We start to provide evidence of its importance from new survey information, before offering an explanation of the organizational phenomenon. The study addresses the questions of how and why Private Equity firms act as relational intermediaries to help their portfolio companies form alliances. Both questions are investigated in the light of the Private Equity firms’ contribution to the value creation process that comes with alliance formation. Answers are provided by means of three jointly used theoretical frameworks: (1) mainstream theories (transaction cost theory and the positive theory of agency); (2) the knowledge based view; and 3) social network theories to complement the resulting from jointly use of the previous two theories. The theoretical construct is then tested empirically by means of a multi-method study with explanatory design, based on the pattern of joint evidence from both statistical tests and a multiple case study. Results show that French Private Equity firms do play a role in alliance formation. This role can be intentional as well as non-intentional. Furthermore, although arguments from the knowledge-based perspective finds more support in explaining this behavior than from the mainstream theories, our study highlights the benefits of the joint use of these theories and the complementary nature of them to better explaining the phenomenon as a whole.
