In this episode, Tim Koller, co-author of Valuation and a leading authority on corporate finance, offers a substantive examination of capital allocation decisions under real-world constraints. The discussion moves beyond theory to explore how CEOs and CFOs should approach resource deployment in mature, capital-rich companies—where investment opportunities are limited not due to lack of ambition but due to economic reality.   Key insights include: - Share Buybacks as Rational Policy: Many firms undertaking significant buybacks—particularly in tech, life sciences, and consumer products—do so because they generate more cash than they can reinvest profitably. Koller argues that, in such cases, returning excess capital to shareholders is not a sign of strategic failure but of disciplined decision-making. - The Fallacy of Diversification Without Advantage: Koller highlights repeated failures by capital-rich companies that expand into unrelated sectors to deploy cash, citing historical missteps in energy, utilities, and industrials. He emphasizes the need to assess whether the firm has a genuine competitive advantage before moving beyond its core business. - Granular Leadership in Resource Allocation: Effective CEOs are directly engaged with capital allocation at the business-unit level. Delegating such decisions without maintaining enterprise-wide oversight often leads to underinvestment in high-return growth areas and misaligned incentives at the divisional level. - The Perils of Uniform Cost-Cutting Mandates: Broad directives to improve margins often result in cuts to product development and customer experience—leading to long-term degradation despite short-term financial gains. Koller stresses the importance of distinguishing between cost efficiencies that enhance value and those that erode it. - Timing and Judgment in Capital Deployment: In cyclical, capital-intensive sectors such as chemicals and energy, building capacity in sync with competitors can destroy value. Koller calls for contrarian timing, grounded in independent analysis, even when boards and markets are predisposed to follow the cycle.   Additional themes include the underuse of postmortems in capital projects, the misalignment between project planners and operators, and the distinction between executional and experimental failure. Throughout, Koller reiterates that sound capital allocation depends not only on financial modeling, but also on institutional learning, leadership judgment, and clarity of strategic intent.   This conversation offers practical, senior-level guidance for executives, board members, and investors who must navigate capital planning amid structural constraints, investor pressures, and organizational complexity.   Get Tim's book here: https://shorturl.at/nk7Z9 Valuation: Measuring and Managing the Value of Companies   Here are some free gifts for you:   Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

Currently, 1,648 people in Slovakia are living with HIV. In 2024 alone, 63 new cases have been diagnosed. While proper treatment can ensure the virus poses no risk to others, including partners, societal stigma remains strong. Many people, including medical professionals, still lack sufficient knowledge about what it truly means to be HIV positive. Find out more in the interview with HIV/AIDS Slovensko director Ján Koller and deputy director Miroslav Krajčoviech. Another epiode of Slovak Sound Check is waiting for you, too.

Tens of millions of children in the United States participate in youth sport, a pastime widely believed to be part of a good childhood. Yet most children who enter youth sport are driven to quit by the time they enter adolescence, and many more are sidelined by its high financial burdens. Until now, there has been little legal scholarly attention paid to youth sport or its reform. In More Than Play: How Law, Policy, and Politics Shape American Youth Sport (University of California Press, 2025) Dr. Dionne Koller sets the stage for a different approach by illuminating the law and policy assumptions supporting a model that puts children's bodies to work in an activity that generates significant surplus value. In doing so, she identifies the wide array of beneficiaries who have a stake in a system that is much more than just play—and the political choices that protect these parties' interests at children's expense. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Röbi Koller – der charismatische TV-Moderator im Ruhestand. Von Langeweile keine Spur: Er entdeckt die Welt mit offenen Augen. Reisen ist seine Leidenschaft – die Ferne ruft stets. Begleitet wird er oft von der Musiklegende Bob Dylan im Ohr.Ein Leben zwischen Abenteuerlust und feinsinnigem Taktgefühl.

Unser heutiger Gast hat ursprünglich Biologie und Humanmedizin studiert, er hat aber beides nicht beendet. Denn er hat sich für einen anderen Weg entschieden: den der Kreativität. Nach Stationen in Budapest, Köln, Berlin und München machte er sich einen Namen als Kreativdirektor, Stratege und Change Manager in der deutschen Medien-, Startup- und Werbebranche. Seit 2016 wirkt er maßgeblich an der Transformation der Seven.One AdFactory mit, dem Innovationshub der SevenOne Entertainment Group. Heute leitet er dort das Creative House und verantwortet als Director den Bereich Strategy, Content & Creation. Neben seiner beruflichen Arbeit hat er mehrfach ehrenamtliche Initiativen angestoßen, darunter Das Home Office, ein kreatives Kollektiv für gesellschaftlich relevante Kommunikation, und C_SR – Creative Social Responsibility, eine Plattform, die Kreativität in den Dienst des Gemeinwohls stellt. Mit Flutwein hat er ein weiteres ikonisches Projekt verantwortet.Aktuell arbeitet er an einem Projekt, das weit über seinen Beruf hinausgeht: Demokratie muss menschlich sein. In diesem so besonderen und ambitionierten Buchprojekt, unterstützt durch Crowdfunding, versammelt er Menschen, Stimmen und Perspektiven, die für den Wert unserer Demokratie einstehen. Das Buch wird mit einer eigens entwickelten Tinte gedruckt, als Symbol für Tiefe, Haltung und Menschlichkeit. Seit nun schon acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 480 Gesprächen haben wir mit mehr als 600 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Was macht gute Kommunikation in Zeiten von Unsicherheit und Wandel aus? Warum muss Demokratie wieder menschlich gedacht und gestaltet werden? Und welche Verantwortung tragen Kreative in Zeiten wie diesen? In unserem Podcast sprechen wir mit Menschen, die sich auf den Weg gemacht haben, zu einer neuen Haltung gegenüber Arbeit, Leben und Gesellschaft. Es geht um Sinn, Verantwortung und die Frage, wie wir Arbeit und Leben besser miteinander verbinden können. Fest steht: „New Work“ wird heute oft verzwergt, viele denken dabei immer noch an bunte Sitzsäcke, Hunde im Büro, Obstkörbe und Home-Office. Ursprünglich jedoch wurde der New-Work-Gedanke in einer Krise geboren, als neuer Weg zwischen Kapitalismus und Sozialismus, um den Menschen Raum zur Entfaltung zu geben und die Chancen neuer Technologien für echte Problemlösungen zu nutzen. Genau deshalb suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.Ihr seid bei „On the Way to New Work“ – heute mit Daniel Koller.

Interview mit Ulrike-Rabmer-Koller, Geschäftsführerin der Rabmer Gruppe.

Nach 18 Jahren geht eine Ära zu Ende: Röbi Koller verabschiedet sich als Gastgeber von «Happy Day». In seiner letzten Sendung erfüllt er Herzenswünsche und wird selbst überrascht: Co-Moderatorin Kiki Maeder schenkt ihm einen eigenen «Happy Day». Stargäste sind Pegasus, Zoë Më und mehr. Am 19. Mai 2007 begrüsste Röbi Koller das Publikum zur ersten Ausgabe von «Happy Day». Nun, 18 Jahre später, moderiert er am 5. April 2025 seine letzte Sendung – und beendet damit auch seine langjährige Karriere als Radio- und Fernsehmoderator bei SRF. Ein letztes Mal erfüllt er besondere Herzenswünsche und begrüsst spannende Stargäste im Studio. Röbi Koller erlebt seinen eigenen «Happy Day» Zum Abschied dreht Röbi Kollers Team den Spiess um und überrascht ihn für seine Dernière mit einem «Happy Day». Co-Moderatorin Kiki Maeder taucht unangemeldet neben dem nichtsahnenden Röbi auf einem Markt in Zürich auf. Danach warten auf ihn nicht nur seine Liebsten und eine Reise in seine Vergangenheit, sondern auch die Erfüllung seines Herzenswunsches. So viel sei verraten: Es geht ins Ausland, aber am Ende landet Röbi Koller an einem Ort, der ihm ziemlich vertraut sein sollte. Musik-Acts im Studio: Pegasus und Zoë Më Als Starduett treten Pegaus mit ihrem Fan Kilian, 30, in Uerikon ZH auf: Kilian wurde in Brasilien geboren und als Baby von Schweizer Eltern adoptiert. Im Wallis fühlte er sich mit seinem südamerikanischen Aussehen stets fremd, seine Jugend war nicht einfach. Heute leitet Kilian eine Primarschule in Zürich und ist ein grosser Fan der Band Pegasus, deren Songtexte ihn sehr berühren. Leadsänger Noah überrascht Kilian in seiner Schule mit einer besonderen Nachricht. Zweiter Music-Act im Studio ist Zoë Më, die dieses Jahr die Schweiz am Eurovision Song Contest vertritt. Sie performt ihre Ballade «Voyage» ein erstes Mal im Rahmen einer TV-Show. Pilotin Esther und ihr schönster Flug Esther Baumer, 75, aus dem Kanton St. Gallen fliegt seit 55 Jahren und gehörte zu den ersten Frauen, die in der Schweiz einen Pilotenschein besassen. Aber langsam ist für Esther die Zeit gekommen, ihren Schein abzugeben. Ihr Göttibueb Nöldi will ihr zuvor noch ein unvergessliches Erlebnis schenken: Esther möchte seit Jahren gern in einer alten PC-7 mitfliegen und Kunststücke am Himmel erleben. Nach dem «Happy Day» über den Wolken warten in Esthers Zweitheimat Benken SG all jene, die ihr zeigen wollen, wie wichtig Esther für sie immer war. «Röbi Koller-Kultnacht»: Auf Zeitreise durch Röbi Kollers SRF-Karriere Im Anschluss an die Show zeigt SRF 1 die «Röbi Köller-Kultnacht»: Ab 23.05 Uhr bis am frühen Morgen erwartet das Publikum ein Best-of von Sendungen aus Röbi Kollers langjähriger Moderationskarriere: Gezeigt werden sechs Sendungen aus dem Archiv, unter anderem ein Zusammenschnitt seiner Live-Reportage vom Matterhorn oder seine letzte «Club»-Ausgabe. Weitere Details zur «Röbi Koller-Kultnacht» finden sich in der hier verlinkten Übersicht. «Happy Day» kehrt am 27. September 2025 aus der Sommerpause zurück – mit Gastgeber Nik Hartmann und Co-Moderatorin Kiki Maeder.

Shane Koller joined us on The Modern People Leader. We talked about adopting a product mindset in HR, how Ancestry's people team built their “product roadmap”, and why even great HR programs fall short when they're not connected.----

Röbi Koller und Kiki Maeder sorgen mit ihrem Wunschmobil bei jenen Menschen für Weihnachtszauber, die nicht zu Hause feiern können. Und im Studio kommt es zum grössten Wiedersehen in der Geschichte von «Happy Day». Mit dabei sind: Bliss, Marc Sway mit seiner Tochter Naomi und Steff La Cheffe. Ein Wunschmobil sorgt für glänzende Augen Röbi Koller und Kiki Maeder machen sich mit einem Wunschmobil voller Geschenke auf den Weg zu Menschen, die Weihnachten nicht zu Hause feiern können. Eine besondere Bescherung erleben so die Kinder in der Kinder-Reha in Affoltern ZH und Menschen im Begegnungszentrum in Luthern LU. Vom winzigen Herzenswunsch bis zur riesigen Überraschung, vom Auftritt mit dem Lieblingsstar bis zum Weihnachtszauber für alle: Diese «Happy Days» sorgen für unzählige glänzende Augen. Eine Adventsbescherung für Zwillingsschwestern Rahel und Céline, 34, aus Büron LU, sind Zwillinge. Nach vielen körperlichen Beschwerden hat Céline vor vier Jahren die Diagnose Multiple Sklerose bekommen, und auch bei Rahel besteht ein starker Verdacht, dass sie diese Krankheit hat. Ein unglaublicher Zufall, der beide Leben stark beeinflusst. Trotzdem machen die Zwillinge das Beste aus jedem Tag – auch wenn mittlerweile nicht mehr alles möglich ist und sie finanziell stark eingeschränkt sind. Ihre Mutter wünscht sich für die beiden einen Tag, an dem sie ihr Schicksal vergessen können. Röbi Koller überrascht die beiden ahnungslosen Schwestern auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt, wo ihr Happy Day seinen Anfang nimmt. Live im Starduett: Acapella-Comedy mit Bliss Mitten im Konzert wurde Bliss-Fan Nadia aus Kloten ZH plötzlich auf die Bühne geholt. «Du singst mit uns im Starduett» – für die Lehrerin geht mit diesem Versprechen ein riesiger Wunsch in Erfüllung. In der Weihnachtssendung singt Nadia mit den fünf Männern von Bliss live im Starduett ein besonderes Christmas-Medley.

How do you talk money without losing trust—or your audience? From quarterly earnings calls to investor pitches, the world of financial communication is a tightrope walk of clarity, persuasion, and credibility. What makes numbers sound good? When does transparent/positive become too transparent/positive? And why does jargon sometimes feel like the best financial armour? Tune in for a lively dive into the art (?) of financial storytelling—with three experts sharing plenty of insights, red flags, laughs, and a nudge to rethink your next fiscal update and/or investment, especially when your are being pandered to with pathos and patriotism. Long notes: In this episode we discuss financial communication and start with readability. A few selected studies are: Bonsall, S. B., & Miller, B. P. (2017). The impact of narrative disclosure readability on bond ratings and the cost of debt. Review of Accounting Studies, 22, 608-643.  Huong Dau, N., Van Nguyen, D., & Thi Thanh Diem, H. (2024). Annual report readability and firms' investment decisions. Cogent Economics and Finance, 12(1). https://doi.org/10.1080/23322039.2023.2296230 Li, F. (2008). Annual report readability, current earnings, and earnings persistence. Journal of Accounting and Economics, 45 (2-3), 221-247.  Both Bernard and Erika mention PhD work on financial communication. Bernard's student Nils Smeuninx completed his thesis in 2018; the title is “Dear Stakeholder. Exploring the language of sustainability reporting: A closer look at readability, sentiment and perception”.  Erika refers to a PhD study on how small investors respond to plain English as opposed to more complex or less readable text: Rennekamp, K. (2012). The complexity of qualitative accounting disclosures: Managers' choices and investors. Cornell Theses and Dissertations. https://hdl.handle.net/1813/31452 For her part, Veronika co-supervised a student - Xiaoxi Wu, now at Bocconi University in Milan (Italy) - with the Accounting department at Lancaster University (UK), resulting in this article:  Koller, V., & Wu, X. (2023). Analysts' identity negotiations and politeness behaviour in earnings calls of U.S. firms with extreme earnings changes. Corporate Communications, 28(5), 769-787. DOI: 10.1108/CCIJ-08-2022-0098   Erika mentions the Juno app, which is designed to explain technical financial language to lay investors. Bernard then refers to Veronika's first foray into financial communication and narrative accounting:  Merkl-Davies, D. M., & Koller, V. (2012). “Metaphoring” people out of this world: A critical discourse analysis of a chairman's statement of a UK defence firm. Accounting Forum, 36(3), 178-193.  An agentless passive, the sentence ‘mistakes were made' helps to avoid blaming anyone for making mistakes. It has become a catchphrase, often used humorously to hint at disaster, including in gifs and memes  Back to financial communication: Referring to the gendered metaphors that it often features, Erika mentions this book chapter: Boggio, C., Fornero, E., Prast, H., & Sanders, J. (2017). Seven ways to knit your portfolio: Is investor communication neutral? In Garzone, G., Catenaccio, P., Grego, K., & Doerr, R. (eds) Specialised and Professional Discourse Across Media and Genres (pp. 137-160). Ledizioni.  A cross-cultural study into accounting language is  Doupnik, T. S. and Richter, M. (2004), The impact of culture on the interpretation of in-context verbal probability expressions. Journal of International Accounting Research, 3(1), 1-20.   In the first part of the episode, we also discuss tone as an important concept in financial communication. Intriguingly, media studies have shown that coverage in itself is good enough for the so-called “markets” (investors, analysts, fund managers) to have a positive attitude towards a company: Engelberg, J. E., & Parsons, C. A. (2011). The causal impact of media in financial markets. Journal of Finance, 66(1), 67-97. Finally, the 2019 annual report by Lockheed Martin, which includes the CEO statement that we analyse at the end of the episode. For more details make sure you visit our blog! We will be back in 2025, with some changes to the podcast - stay tuned

Der dringend nötige Neustart im Zuhause, der letzte TV-Auftritt einer Legende und ganz spezielle Herzenswünsche: Röbi Koller und Kiki Maeder sorgen mit ihren Überraschungen für grosse Augen und Freudentränen. Die Stargäste: Erich Vock, Luca und Christina Hänni, Remo Forrer und Heimweh. Omi Mia fährt mit dem LKW nach Hamburg Mia (81) ist schon ein Leben lang fasziniert von den grossen Lastwagen, die quer durch Europa fahren, und wünscht sich, einmal Trucker auf dem Beifahrersitz sein zu dürfen. Am liebsten mit einer Fracht zum Hamburger Hafen, inklusive Übernachten in der Fahrerkabine. Nach dem Tod ihres Mannes, den sie lange gepflegt hatte, ist Mias Sehnsucht nach Freiheit und Ferne noch viel grösser geworden. Röbi Koller überrascht die Aargauerin mit einer ganz besonderen Reise. Ein neues Zuhause für Beatrice und Heiner aus Gerlafingen Beatrice und Heiner leben in einem kleinen Haus, das sie in Eigenregie Stück für Stück umbauen wollten. Aber vor 11 Jahren bekommt Beatrice die Diagnose Multiple Sklerose, sie leidet vor allem unter Fatigue – einer anhaltenden Müdigkeit. Sie kann nur reduziert arbeiten, Heiner ist bei der Kehrichtabfuhr angestellt. Den dringend nötigen Umbau können sie nicht stemmen. Ein Fall für Kiki Maeder, Andrin Schweizer und ihr Umbauteam. Letzter TV-Auftritt der Legende: Erich Vock mit einem Medley seiner beliebtesten Lieder Bühnenlegende Erich Vock verabschiedet sich mit einem Medley seiner beliebtesten Lieder vom TV-Publikum. Bevor er im kommenden Februar seine 40jährige Theater-Karriere beenden wird, sagt er bei «Happy Day» dem Fernsehen Adieu. Vock war in der SRF-Sitcom «Fertig lustig» zu sehen, aber auch Teil der «Benissimo»-Friends, und seine Schwänken unterhielten das SRF-Publikum viele Abende lang. Bei «Happy Day» wird er noch einmal seine Paraderollen zeigen – vom Heiri aus der «Niederdorfoper» bis zu Zaza aus «La Cage aux Folles».

Am 24. November stimmt die Schweiz gleich über zwei Änderungen beim Mietrecht ab: Die Untermiete soll strenger geregelt werden und Kündigungen wegen Eigenbedarf würden erleichtert. Das führe zu mehr Rechtssicherheit, betont das Ja-Lager. Die Gegenseite warnt vor einer Schwächung des Mieterschutzes. Die erste der beiden Mietrechtsvorlagen zielt auf die Regeln für die Untermiete. Schon heute muss der Vermieter einer Untermiete zustimmen – ablehnen darf er sie nur in bestimmten Fällen. Künftig wären ein schriftliches Gesuch des Mieters und eine schriftliche Zustimmung des Vermieters erforderlich, wenn Mieterinnen ihre Wohnung oder einzelne Räume untervermieten wollen. Zudem dürfte der Vermieter die Untermiete verbieten, wenn sie länger als zwei Jahre dauern soll. Das Ja-Lager betont, die neuen Regeln würden zu mehr Rechtssicherheit für Vermieterinnen und Mieter führen. Zudem könne durch die Anpassung verhindert werden, dass durch Untermiete missbräuchliche Gewinne erzielt würden. Das Referendumskomitee rund um den Mieterinnen- und Mieterverband betont hingegen, dass das Missbrauchspotenzial bei der Untermiete sehr gering sei. Die Einschränkung der Untermiete sei ein Angriff auf den Mieterschutz. Lockerung der Kündigungsregeln bei Eigenbedarf Auch gegen die zweite Anpassung betreffend Kündigung wegen Eigenbedarfs wurde das Referendum ergriffen. Heute ist eine Kündigung bei «dringendem» Eigenbedarf möglich. Neu sollen Eigentümer den Eigenbedarf schneller und einfacher geltend machen können. Es soll genügen, wenn der Eigenbedarf «bedeutend und aktuell» ist. Die Vorlage schwäche den Kündigungsschutz unter dem Vorwand des Eigenbedarfs, sagt das Referendumskomitee. Das Ja-Lager erwidert: Die Interessen der Mieterinnen seien weiterhin geschützt, sie hätten etwa immer noch Anspruch auf Schadensersatz bei einer früheren Kündigung. Schaffen die beiden Mietrechtsvorlagen mehr Rechtssicherheit und verhindern Missbräuche? Oder werden die Rechte der Mieterinnen und Mieter eingeschränkt und Kündigungen vereinfacht? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Sandro Brotz am 8. November 2024 in der «Abstimmungs-Arena» als Befürworterinnen und Befürworter der beiden Vorlagen: – Brigitte Häberli-Koller, Ständerätin Die Mitte/TG und Vizepräsidentin Hauseigentümerverband; – Olivier Feller, Nationalrat FDP/VD und Generalsekretär Westschweizer Immobilienverband; und – Barbara Steinemann, Nationalrätin SVP/ZH. Gegen die Vorlagen treten an: – Jacqueline Badran, Vizepräsidentin SP und Vorstandsmitglied Mieterinnen- und Mieterverband; – Michael Töngi, Nationalrat Grüne/LU und Vizepräsident Mieterinnen- und Mieterverband; und - Sarah Brutschin, Vorstandsmitglied Mieterinnen- und Mieterverband.

Suzanne Koller, a Paris-based fashion stylist and art director, is renowned for her impactful contributions to the fashion industry. Cofounding Petronio Associates in 1993 and Self Service Magazine in 1994, she worked with prestigious clients and curated a unique creative vision. Transitioning to become the fashion director of Vogue Paris and later M le Magazine du Monde, Koller continues to shape the industry with her collaborations and editorial work. More interested in holistic artistry than anything else, Koller keeps herself out of her comfort zone to stay curious and true to herself—which is what's contemporary now.  Episode Highlights: Koller, who was born and raised in Vienna, feels “very Austrian.” She moved to Germany, and then to Switzerland, where she studied graphic design. She's lived in France for over 30 years.  Knowing from her teen years that she wanted to be an art director, Koller saw the glamour of working for a magazine. She became an intern at Elle magazine in Paris before interning in graphic design at Glamour—where she was first introduced to the idea of working in fashion. As a consultant, stylist, and art director, Koller found it exciting to make her own way with Self Service and to change hats, working with smaller magazines to avoid creative constraints. Koller focuses less on fashion and more on individual subjects, orienting herself toward documenting women through time in collaborative projects.  Driven by long-standing obsessions, her current interest is finding emerging talent and working with a new generation of creatives. Keeping herself out of her comfort zone helps maintain her energy and curiosity even as she considers herself a workaholic.  Koller is not driven by nostalgia but more inspired by the now, whether in the supermarket perusing ingredients, going to a museum, people-watching, or taking a flight. She believes in the significance of “emptying [her] brain” periodically. In an age of over-engagement with social media, what's contemporary to her now is staying true to oneself.

Tune in for grounded and speculative takes on how technology—and, in particular, AI—is inspiring change and transforming the future. Hosted by Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger, each episode features an interview with an ambitious builder or deep thinker on a topic, from art to geopolitics and from healthcare to education.
