重组并购理论与中国的实践

有效的资产重组和公司并购,能够优化企业的资源配置,提升企业的竞争能力。我国上市公司的重组并购是在我国特定的制度和政策环境下产生发展的,必须正视我国资本市场重组并购中存在的问题,鼓励实质性重组并购,这是证券监管当局必须承担的责任。     

西方跨文化管理研究的层次分析与时间演进——文献综述

本文在大量相关文献分析的基础上，借鉴国内外相关研究成果，对西方跨文化管理理论研究中的理论、方法、模型与时间阶段进行了系统分析。从层次分析的角度，本文检视了霍夫斯塔对人类精神程序的层次分析、文化的横向层次分析和卡罗汉纳的纵向层次分析。从时间演进的角度，本文将西方跨文化管理研究分为20世纪50年代的初步研究、60-70年代的组织理论研究、80年代的日美文化比较研究、20世纪80～90年代的维度理论与结构性分析、21世纪初的整合性研究五个阶段。     

企业文化:从管理学走进经济学

对真实世界的关注使得管理学能够发现并形成企业文化理论,企业文化的发展显示了传统激励理论的不足和精神激励的重要性。为了将企业文化这一重要的变量加以解释,经济学中出现了多种不同的研究进路,这不仅拓展了经济学研究的领域,也深化了管理学的直觉与描述。     

我国上市公司股权集中度与公司绩效的理论与实证研究

本文以净资产收益率、主营业务资产收益率及市净率为被解释变量,股权集中度为被解释变量,并使用公司总资产的自然对数代表公司规模、财务杠杆、净利润增长率作为控制变量,从公司治理角度分析股权结构对公司绩效的影响。从农林牧渔业、采掘业、制造业等11个行业中挑选了923家上市公司为样本,分别对样本总体和各行业的数据进行了回归分析。此研究的政策意义在于现阶段上市公司治理结构的改革不应盲目模仿英美模式无视中国的国情,过于强调股权分散。认为只有保持股权的适度集中才有助于我国上市公司的长远发展和整体绩效的提高。     

公司治理对上市公司估值的影响分析

本文在分析公司治理机制的基础上,将影响公司治理的各个因素进行量化,通过构建上市公司估值模型,对公司治理影响估值进行实证分析.本文的结论是,公司治理对上市公司估值的影响很大;治理结构完善的公司,其估值水平相对较高,反之亦反之.

Why Capital Income Taxes Survive in Open Economies: The Role of Multinational Firms

This paper discusses the role of multinational firms and double taxation treaties for corporate income taxation in open economies. We show that it is optimal for a small open economy to levy positive corporate income taxes if multinational firms are taxed according to the full taxation after deduction system or the foreign tax credit system. Positive corporate taxes also occur in the asymmetric case where some countries apply the exemption system and others apply the tax credit system. If all countries apply the exemption system, the optimal corporate income tax is zero. We also show that, under tax competition, corporate income taxes are not necessarily too low from the perspective of the economy as a whole. While the undertaxation result is confirmed for the case of the exemption system, tax rates may also be inefficiently high if the deduction or the credit systems are applied.     

Diversification, Ownership and Control of Swedish Corporations

We study the short‐ and long‐term valuation effects of Swedish takeovers. Using a sample of 93 bidding firms that acquired 101 targets between 1980 and 1995, we find that diversifying acquisitions lead to a negative market reaction and deterioration of the operating performance of the bidder. Announcement and performance gains in each of the three years following the acquisition occur only when bidders expand their core rather than their peripheral lines of business. Our findings suggest that focused acquisitions lead to greater synergies and operating efficiencies than diversifying acquisitions. Intra‐group acquisitions, however, show that bidders do not realise significant gains whether they adopt diversifying or focusing investment strategies by purchasing firms controlled by the Wallenberg and SHB conglomerate groups. Intra‐group targets realize significant gains regardless bidder's investment strategy. Finally, the evidence does not support the view that intra‐conglomerate acquisitions are associated with expropriation of minority shareholders. However, they appear to enhance the control rights of large shareholders of the bidding firm.     

Asymmetric Information,Asset Allocation,and Debt Financing

We analyze a signaling game where firms' financing announcements convey private information about their prospects but a moral hazard problem exists in that managers may suboptimally invest. Consequently, the attempt to address an asymmetric information problem exacerbates moral hazard. The equilibrium recognizes both imperfect information problems. Additionally, the firm must determine how to allocate funds between two technologies differing in cash flow timing and managerial accessibility. We define an above-average firm's comparative advantage as that technology which is most dominant relative to a firm with lesser prospects and show that the resultant equilibria follow the lines of the firm's comparative advantage. Finally, we show that separation may be achieved costlessly, i.e., with no explicit signaling cost.     

Antecedents and consequences of corporate governance reform: the case of Germany

The paper examines the antecedents and consequences of the voluntary adoption of corporate governance reform in firms embedded in a relationship‐based governance system with less protection of minority shareholders. In such locations, ownership structure should be a key determinant of governance reform. Firms with dispersed ownership are likely to face agency problems but may lack sufficient ownership power in the hand of external owners for adoption to occur. Extensive ownership by external parties facilitates adoption but decreases the need and motivation to adopt governance reform. We examined the adoption of stock‐based incentive plans and transparent accounting regulations (e.g., greater disclosure to shareholders) among large German firms (DAX 100) during the late 1990s. We found an inverse ‘U’‐shaped relationship between ownership concentration and governance reform. In addition, we found that firms adopting governance reform were more likely to engage in corporate divestitures and achieve higher levels of market performance than firms not adopting governance reform.
