浅论国有独资公司治理结构的重构方案

国有独资公司的治理结构为国有资产监督管理机关行使股东会职权(可授予董事会部分股东会职权)、董事会、监事会、经理四个机构。现行法律规定的国有独资公司治理结构强烈体现出行政干预下的内部人控制的特征,董事会与经理两块牌子,一套班子,监事会职能严重弱化,企业内控失效,管理不善,违法违纪突出,官营合谋共蚀国有资产。存在以上问题的原因在于资本所有缺位、公司主体性的弱化、公司的政府机关化、董事会空壳化、监事会监督的形式化、经理专政和管理腐败、社会组织的公司机关化。笔者借鉴德、美公司治理结构并根据我国国情提出我国国有独资公司治理结构应修改为国有资产监督管理机构、监事会、董事会的改革措施。

The equipment hypothesis and US economic growth

In several articles published in the 1990s, de Long and Summers argued that investment in producer durables had a high propensity to generate externalities in using industries, resulting in a systematic and substantial divergence between its social and private return. They maintained, moreover, that this was not the case for structures investment. Together, these claims constitute the equipment hypothesis. This paper explores the degree to which the history of US economic growth in the 20th century supports it.     

Investment evaluation of cloud computing in the European business sector

The importance of cloud computing is acknowledged both at national and entrepreneurial level. Its potential in business has been already described in many studies (Dillon et al., 2010; Bayrak et al., 2011; Nuseibeh, 2011; Repschlaeger et al., 2013). However, many European countries do not exploit it much in spite of many positive responses made by respected consulting companies. The reasons for this are a very low level of changes in companies, ignorance of opportunities of the given technology and, consequently, an inability to count the return of investment. Therefore, the aim of this article is to introduce a tool for the investment evaluation of cloud computing, which corresponds to the needs of the European business environment and to the properties of this technology. Furthermore, the cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) method is explored. This method is adjusted for cloud computing on the basis of companies’ requirements, which were collected from quantitative and qualitative surveys and from the interviews with experts in cloud computing from academic and business environments. In addition, individual stages of the CBA method used in cloud computing are described.     

FDI location choice of Chinese multinationals in East and Southeast Asia: Traditional economic factors and institutional perspective

This paper investigates the factors determining foreign direct investment (FDI) location choices of Chinese multinational firms. We developed a conceptual framework that synthesizes traditional economic factors and institutional perspective. Then several hypotheses were developed in line with the framework and empirically tested using panel data of Chinese outward FDI to eight economies in East and Southeast Asia across a time period of thirteen years. Our findings suggest that institutional factors demonstrate a higher level of significance, complexity and diversity in determining FDI location choice in comparison with economic factors, while both types of factors influence the FDI location choice of Chinese multinational firms. We also found that the FDI location choices of Chinese firms have a dynamic nature, as statistical evidence indicates a heterogeneous response of Chinese FDI towards different economic groups and during different time periods.     

FDI in Bulgaria

ABSTRACT

This article examines aspects of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Bulgaria. The article considers propositions relating to the location and own-company motives for engaging in FDI in Bulgaria, the performance of the foreign ventures, and challenges in the management of the ventures. The article also reviews the lessons for potential investors in Bulgaria. The article is based on the analysis of in-depth interviews with senior expatriate managers of nine foreign ventures in Bulgaria. This analysis serves to better understand the nature of FDI in Bulgaria and highlights the issues facing potential investors. Relatively few studies have been conducted on FDI in Bulgaria which is one of the least researched transition economies. This article therefore sheds new light on some important issues concerning FDI in Bulgaria and serves as a case study of a transition economy that is little reported on and little known in the West.
