Ecademy Dominique Jacquet

THIS MONTH / February 2020

Here is our latest monthly subscriber content

It’s been a month since the E-Cademy was officially launched. We start our second month with exclusive and exciting content.

For our monthly vidcast, Professor Jacquet talks about the legendary raider T.Boone Pickens, who passed away last fall at the age of 91 after a flamboyant career in the world of hydrocarbons and philanthropy. Despite his sultry reputation, you will see that he was able to create value for oil companies by changing the way reserves are accounted for.

For our new educational film, Professor Jacquet analyzes the ins and outs of Lafarge’s acquisitions as well as its merger with Holcim, a merger that was less successful than was expected.

Dominique Jacquet discusses the world of automotive finance, which he knows well, by talking about Toyota and Tesla in our blog.

Our monthly content changes on the 15th of each month; on March 15th, our educational film will give a vivid demonstration of the principles and use of the DuPont formula and our vidcast will provide an in-depth analysis of the Twitter case.

Of course, you can still access our previous educational film on Facebook or all of our other vidcasts, including the one on the alleged “rescue” ofJanuary vidcast : SoftBank, WeWork Rescuer? WeWork by Softbank.

Welcome to the E-Cademy.
