企业文化刚性对战略调整影响的内在作用机理分析

企业文化具有一种难以改变的刚性特征,企业在进行战略调整的过程中,企业文化的这一特征将从组织成员的认知刚性、组织的资源依赖性、企业文化的组织记忆特征和企业组织的社会化过程等四个方面,对企业的战略调整行为产生深刻的影响。因此,企业战略的实施与调整必须将这种影响因素及其内在作用机理考虑在内。

公司治理:中国企业走出去的制度平台

中国跨国公司发展进入到了一个新的阶段,出现了一些新的特点.培育和造就一批具有国际竞争力的大型跨国公司将成为这一阶段发展的一项主要任务.中国企业是否能成功地走出去,并最终在国际舞台上站稳脚跟,关键取决于自身是否有一个完善的制度平台.目前急需在治理结构方面进行规范,建立起符合现代企业制度要求的法人治理结构和一整套科学规范的决策机制、约束机制和激励机制.     

浅析内向型管理审计在公司治理结构中的作用

内向型管理审计是公司治理结构的重要组成部分，有效的内向型管理审计有利于公司治理结构的完善。要实现公司治理的目标，就必须正确认识内向型管理审计与公司治理之间的互动关系，并充分发挥内向型管理审计在公司治理结构中的积极作用。     

对企业并购估价中威斯通模型的进一步研究

威斯通模型是企业并购估值贴现现金流模型中具有代表性的研究。首先对超常增长而后无增长的威斯通模型作了一点修正;接着建立了企业在超常增长期采取不同投资策略时的估价模型;最后分析了新建模型与原模型的差异,并通过数例对两模型进行了敏感性分析。     

The governance of privatized firms: authority,reposnisbility and disclosure1

In any market economy, a fundamental question is how to make management accountable to shareholders and also to the requirements of law. This paper raises selective, critical issues of corporate governance that are particularly relevant to problems of the accountability of boards of directors to their shareholders in transition economies. These issues include the separation of ownership and control and the duties of directors; the need for disclosure given that separation; and the corporate charter as a vehicle for the direct participation of shareholders in governance. The paper suggests that one of the best models of corporate governance that transition economies can use is that employed by the leveraged-buyout (LBO) and venture capital funds operating in the West. It argues that weaknesses in corporate governance may undermine the entire privatization process. Economics and law are too often seen as separate disciplines. In reality, they come together in transition economies perhaps with greater impact than elsewhere.     

The Impact of Personal Taxes on the Firm's Weighted Average Cost of Capital and Investment Behaviour: A Simplified Approach Using the Dempsey Discounted Dividends Model

The discounted dividends model advanced by Dempsey (1996) is extended to provide a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) assessment of investment opportunities with irregular cash flows. Thereafter, the framework is extended to an assessment of the implications of government tax policy for the firm's investment behaviour. The developed framework is consistent with the empirical evidence of Poterba and Summers (1985) which — over the period of UK tax history 1950–1983 encompassing four major tax on equity reforms — observes how the related dividend and investment politics of UK firms appear to be influenced by the level of dividend taxes.     

Responding to Digital Transformation by External Corporate Venturing: An Enterprising Family Identity and Communication Patterns Perspective

Digital transformation increasingly requires activities located outside firm boundaries, for example via alliances with start‐up companies. Despite this, German Mittelstand firms, primarily owned and managed by enterprising families and seen as role models of innovation, appear reluctant to place strategic emphasis on venturing outside the firm’s boundaries when it comes to digital transformation. Drawing on the concepts of identity and communication patterns, we theorize on the mechanisms behind this behaviour. Applying structural equation modelling to a sample of 254 members of the next generation in enterprising families from Germany, we find that family communication patterns impact the strategic priority for or against external corporate venturing via identity‐related considerations.     

Are Corporate Restructuring Events Driven by Common Factors? Implications for Takeover Prediction

Abstract:  The paper shows that variables commonly used in takeover prediction models also help to explain the likelihood of several other restructuring events, including divestitures, bankruptcies and significant employee layoffs. This finding helps to explain the larger misclassification errors in binomial takeover prediction models commonly used in prior research. The results show that modelling takeover prediction models in a binomial setting is likely to lead to misspecification in the parameter estimates and, further, result in erroneous conclusions about the determinants of takeover likelihood. The paper shows that controlling for other restructuring events by using a multinomial framework results in consistently lower misclassification errors in out-of-sample prediction tests, when compared to the benchmark of a typical binomial model.     

Evaluating the Relative Impact of Fiscal Incentives and Trade Policies on the Returns to Manufacturing in Taiwan, 1955–1995*

In the present paper, an integrated cash flow model is developed to examine the relative impact of tax incentives, financial subsidies, and macroeconomic variables on the profitability of industrial investments. It allows for the variables in the model to interact with each other. An application of the model is carried out for Taiwan, which has implemented a variety of fiscal incentives over the past 40 years. The principal policy conclusion is that trade and macroeconomic policies are much more important than income tax incentives or subsidized finance policies in determining the success of Taiwan's industrialization process. The effects of all of the fiscal incentives are found to be much smaller than those of the trade policies or the fundamental trends in macroeconomic variables such as the movement of the real exchange rate and the real wage rate.
