A takeover bid for Hochtief: Battle of the builders

Two construction giants seek to evade a Spanish predator
MUCH of the drama in Florentino Perez’s long game to add Hochtief, Germany’s biggest construction company, to his portfolio, is being played on the other side of the world. It involves a fine interpretation of Australian corporate law.
Mr Perez, best known as president of Real Madrid football club, with its Galacticos of expensively acquired talent, also runs ACS, Spain’s biggest construction company, which already has a 29% stake in Hochtief. On September 16th ACS announced that it would make a bid to “consolidate its interest”, offering eight ACS shares for five of Hochtief’s. Predictably Hochtief has resisted, asking for changes in German law to make the bid, which will allow creeping acquisition of shares over a 30% threshold, more expensive. Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, and her coalition government have been lukewarm, arguing that corporate Germany should take care of itself. ACS has insisted that it would keep Hochtief headquartered in Essen, and not break it up. …

Five simple rules for running a first-class hospital
MEASURING good health, in patients and hospitals alike, is one thing. Finding the causes is harder. Medical professionals in Britain know that Hammersmith Hospital in west London, for example, is one of the best in the country—Tony Blair received treatment there for his irregular heartbeat and it is one of only a handful of places to which London ambulance crews take people with suspected heart attacks. From America to Sweden, the best hospitals in a rich country outperform the rest. But how?
Stephen Dorgan of McKinsey, a consultancy, and John Van Reenen of the London School of Economics have tried to answer this. They studied almost 1,200 hospitals in America, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Sweden, using techniques more commonly applied to identify excellence in manufacturing industry. …

The price of Apple’s tablet computer, before sales tax, varies significantly between countries
IF YOU fly from Hong Kong to Frankfurt or Paris and look suspiciously like a gadget lover, chances are that you will be searched by customs officers: an iPad with Wi-Fi and 16 gigabytes of memory costs $200 less in the former British colony than in Germany and France. Given the risk of having to pay extra duty (and the price of the flight), potential iPad buyers in both countries ought to consider a trip to nearby Luxembourg, where Apple’s popular device is $35 cheaper. The sales tax is only one reason for such differences in price. Consumers in Hong Kong also get a better deal because iPads are assembled in mainland China. Buyers in Switzerland have to pay more because there is less competition between retailers. In China and Mexico, the device may be cheaper because people are poorer. Incidentally, if income is taken into account, consumers in Luxembourg get the best deal: they only have to spend about 0.8% of the city-state’s GDP per person on an iPad.
