The main aspects of the merger plan between Nyse Euronext and Deutsche Börse, and the reason of the failure.

I. Definition of leadership, Presentation of the derivatives market and Analysis of current competition. ARTHUR

The term of leadership defines the ability of an individual to carry out or lead other individuals or organizations in order to achieve certain goals. We then say that a leader is someone who is able to guide, influence and inspire.

A leader stands out a manager or decision maker, which has capacity for administration, without "lead" the group, organization or country to another stage of development. A good manager can be a leader, but the two qualities are not automatically linked. Long associated with politics, leadership is a quality sought in a lot of areas. Thus, we also talk about leadership in the business world, in the culture world, science world or in the field of sport. Public leadership and the private leadership can also be distinguished, the latter being oriented to the companies. A politician is not necessarily a leader, and conversely, many leaders are not politicians.

All the fields covered by the leadership have changed, as the qualities that define it are multiplied. If the leadership, in the past was closely associated with the personality of the leader and especially his charisma, many recent studies suggest a learned ability, based on experience and linked to specific contexts. Among the skills (or attributes) that are found in leaders include: vision, strategy, persuasion, communication, trust and ethics.

Derivatives traded OTC are, in turn, usually on much larger contracts (about 200 million euros per transaction), the legal and economic conditions and terms are based on needs. The survey showed that derivatives traded on exchanges or over-the-counter are generally not considered interchangeable by customers because they are used for different purposes and in different contexts. In addition, some traders have mandates who do not allow them to intervene in the OTC market for reasons of risk management.

Les deux sociétés ont fait valoir que l'opération de concentration serait bénéfique pour les clients, grâce à une plus grande liquidité.
