This book comprises a comprehensive survey of the most recent research being done on corporate governance in the triad -- Europe (with particular emphasis on Germany and the UK), the US and Japan. The comparative nature of the research brings forth new insights which studies conducted within one system may fail to produce. The contributors to this volume represent a unique sample of scholars from throughout the triad and across disciplines.
Die zivil- und strafrechtlichen Überschuldungsrisiken im Zusammenhang mit einer Insolvenz knüpfen maßgeblich an den Tatbestand der Überschuldung an. Die Konturen des Überschuldungstatbestandes sind unsicher und umstritten. Die seit der Insolvenzrechtsreform für das Zivilrecht maßgebliche Definition der Überschuldung lässt zahlreiche Fragen der Überschuldungsermittlung offen. Auch die in dem Gesetzesvorhaben zur Modernisierung des GmbH-Rechts und zur Bekämpfung von Missbräuchen (MoMiG) geplante Ergänzung des § 19 II InsO zur Frage der Behandlung von Gesellschafterdarlehen schafft nur hinsichtlich einer Detailfrage Sicherheit, hilft aber nicht über die grundlegenden Ermittlungsu...
This volume invites young scientists and doctoral students in the fields of capital market theory, informational economics, and mana gement science to visualize the many different ways to arrive at a thorough understanding of risk and capital. Rather than focusing on one subject only, the sample of papers collected may be viewed as a representative choice of various aspects. Some contributions have more the character of surveys on the state of the art while others stress original research. We fou~d it proper to group the papers under two main themes. Part I covers information, risk aversion, and capital market theory. Part II is devoted to management, policy, and empirical evidence. Two cont...
Companies' decision-making and planning systems find themselves in a constant tug of war between strategic and financial considerations. The authors analyze these two opposing currents in business thinking, dissecting their differences and identifying their best practices. They also develop an approach that reconciles the two conflicting schools of thought – without watering down their differences. Schwenker und Spremann argue that both strategic and financial perspectives can serve as a compass in management's decision-making processes: Which perspective to choose depends on the phase of business. The authors distinguish four phases in the company lifecycle – phases in which the business must find the proper position, develop, grow and, ultimately, earn. In the first two phases, strategic considerations should take priority; in the latter two phases, financial considerations rule the day.
Business appraisals happen daily in enterprises listed on the stock exchange. However, there are many occasions where economists need to evaluate companies, such as in lending, in business investments, in the sale or transfer of companies or in tax reasons (estate duty). In this Bachelor Thesis, different methods will be presented and discussed. In view of limited financial resources and dynamically changing global market, companies must finance innovations and investment rationally and under the aspect of sustainability. In the increasing global competition and the associated need for internationalization, economists have developed different models over the last three decades. In this work, the focus is on the evaluation of SME. Here will be a special on function-oriented appraisal systems (such as the discounted cash flow method, etc.). In the literature, for example, economist still poorly consider the knowledge management as a factor for evaluation, although the knowhow in increasing global competition (e.g. in relation to the Asian markets) is becoming more and more a strategic factor.
Corporate valuation using multiples is one of the most popular corporate valuation approaches. In this book, the different steps of this valuation approach such as the selection of comparable companies or the choice of the reference variables are discussed. Then, the circumstances required for a sound valuation (e.g., the degree of efficiency of the equity market) are described. Additionally, the book gives insight on how the state of the industry and/or the company has an impact on the proper choice of the reference variables. Finally, it is shown how multi-factor models can enrich the universe of valuation models. While always maintaining the academic rigor, the author addresses practice-relevant topics and delivers hands-on solutions for typical valuation problems.
Austrian Controller Award 2005 This book develops a comprehensive concept of regulatory risk integrating existing theoretical and empirical research. The focus is on explaining how the design of the regulatory system influences the risk of a rate-regulated firm, as well as on elaborating appropriate methods for the determination of the regulatory rate base and the allowed rate of return. Regarding the regulatory rate base, the question of whether market value of capital or book value of assets should be employed and the choice of the depreciation scheme are at the center of the discussion. Specific methodical issues concerning cost of capital assessment for rate-regulated firms are analyzed, i.e. the circularity of rate regulation, the sharing of risks between capital owners and rate payers, the length of the regulatory review period, the regulation of the capital structure as well as the conversion of a post-tax to pre-tax weighted average cost of capital.
