This long-awaited new book from Cynthia Day Wallace picks up the thread of her best-selling Legal Control of the Multinational Enterprise: National Regulatory Techniques and the Prospects for International Controls. In the present work she applies herself to legal and pragmatic aspects of control surrounding MNE operations. The primary focus is on legal and administrative techniques and measures practised by host states to control – transparently or less so – foreign MNE activity within their territories, or even extraterritorially when effects are felt within national boundaries. The primary geographic focus is the six most investment-intensive industrialized states (namely,Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom). At the same time an important message of the present study is precisely the implication for the developing countries as well as for the emerging market economies of central and eastern Europe - and even Asian nations besides Japan, because it is the sharing of this very ‘experience of years’ that can best serve to facilitate a fuller participation on the part of the up-and-coming economies in the same global market place.
Global production and purchasing operations create a platform for entry into new markets. However, it takes considerable effort to plan and implement a sustainable globalization strategy; this book will help in that task. The wealth of experience and analysis featured in this book is the result of an extensive survey among leading manufacturing companies as well as countless discussions with executives who have personally wrestled with the issues of "going global." The book treats the whole range of management challenges. In breadth and depth, the insights it offers surpass what a manager or most individual companies could acquire on their own.
Literature on trust has experienced a continuous growth from the 1970s onward. The focus of sociological and political science theories is not so much on what trust is rather than what trust does (its function), where it comes from (its origin) and how it changes in course of time. Books on transformation in Eastem Europe, however, are mainly related to questions of system transfer and institutional change, rather than interpersonal relations within society that can constitute both an opportunity for, and an obstacle to social transformation. With this book German and Russian scholars intend to fill this gap. This collection includes theoretical papers, articles that link topics of trust and empirical/historical observations, and empirical research on trust and transformation.
Using site-specific optimization approaches in international manufacturing networks is increasingly proving insufficient. To solve this problem, several holistic and integrated alternatives have been developed to reflect a global perspective. This book presents advances in the St. Gallen Global Manufacturing Network Model and its application in numerous industry-, benchmarking- and research projects. The contents combine data-driven solutions with qualitative management frameworks for the strategic optimization of international manufacturing networks. In the first part, the book addresses the foundation of manufacturing network management and further describes the St. Gallen Operational Exce...

Marcus Bysikiewicz untersucht die relevanten Fragestellungen, die sich bei Unternehmensbewertungen im Rahmen der Spaltung ergeben. Als Resultat präsentiert er ein theoretisch fundiertes Bewertungskonzept zur Entscheidungs- und zur Argumentationsunterstützung für die Eigner eines zu spaltenden Unternehmens sowie zur Unterstützung eines unparteiischen Gutachters bei der Vermittlung in einer solchen Konfliktsituation
Das Spruchverfahrensgesetz ist nach einem langen Reformprozess am 1. September 2003 in Kraft getreten und regelt den Verfahrensablauf des gesellschaftsrechtlichen Spruchverfahrens. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung werden die historische Entwicklung des Spruchverfahrens im Überblick dargestellt sowie die Reform des Spruchverfahrens nachgezeichnet. Den Schwerpunkt der Arbeit bildet eine eingehende Untersuchung der Regelungen des Spruchverfahrensgesetzes, die sich auch auf die wesentlichen materiell-rechtlichen Probleme erstreckt, soweit jene mit den Verfahrensregelungen im unmittelbaren Zusammenhang stehen. Im Anschluss daran folgt ein Ausblick, in dem ausgewählte, künftig mögliche Anwendungsbereiche des Spruchverfahrensgesetzes untersucht werden und die Zukunft des Spruchverfahrens als Rechtsbehelf allgemein erörtert wird.
Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Ignored for a long time, intangible assets are now gaining increased attention. In the last decade, especially in the United States, company managers recognized that intangible assets may provide companies with a more stable basis for competitive advantage than patents and technologies. Hence, companies started to invest in corporate Public Relations (PR) activities to communicate good corporate behaviour, gain good will and to improve the public perception of their corporate reputation. The main aim of this dissertation research project is to develop an understanding of the European perspective of corporate reputation and its management and importance for business su...

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Zum Stichtag 1. Juli 1990 übernahm die DDR durch die Wirtschafts-, Währungs- und Sozialunion das politisch-ökonomische System der BRD. Binnen drei Monaten war die DDR - nach fast 41 Jahren Sozialismus - in einen Staat mit einer sehr liberal organisierten sozialen Marktwirtschaft aufgegangen. Damit vollzieht sich ein spontaner Systemwechsel, der einen bis heute anhaltenden Transformationsprozess in Gang setzt, dessen Auswirkungen einen Strukturwandel auf allen gesellschaftlichen Ebenen auslöst. Die räumliche Ordnung der Wirtschaft reorganisiert sich. In differenzierter raum-zeitlicher Ausprägung sind soziale, rechtliche, politische, ökonomische und ökologisch...
