Corporate Group Legitimacy: Reconceptualising the Corporate Group (Routledge Research in Corporate Law)

This book focuses on the legitimacy of corporate power wielded by corporate groups, integrating legal doctrine, economic analysis, and theoretical approaches. It reassesses how corporate groups can maintain legitimacy whilst exercising corporate power.Corporate groups are a prominent commercial feature of many jurisdictions and present unique challenges. The book argues that when analysed through the lens of corporate social responsibility, a legitimacy deficiency emerges. This arises from a lack of historical debate, diluted control mechanisms, and inflated growth, utilising unique features of the corporate group. It explores how the magnified power of the corporate group presents acute challenges for corporate legitimacy. Data is utilised alongside current examples of corporate groups which identify structural architectural patterns. It explores new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and blockchain as ways of attaining legitimacy. It presents methods of attaining legitimacy for the continued wielding of power to be held within corporate groups.This book spans several research interests under the corporate law umbrella. It will be of interest to traditional black letter company lawyers. Additionally, it will be of interest to those who have an interest in business and those who are interested in the role of technology.

Corporate Growth and Diversification (PDF)

As an increasing number of large corporations branch out into many fields of industry, public concern over the lateral extension of their power is aroused. Arguing that entry by large firms into concentrated industries may instead stimulate competition, Charles H. Berry analyzes the effect that such diversification has on corporate growth and on the structure and functioning of industrial markets.To identify a relationship between the growth of large corporations and the pattern of their diversifying activities, Professor Berry examines 460 of the largest U.S. industrial corporations. In tracing the effects of their entry into some 200 manufacturing industries, he develops new and striking evidence of the protected position of leading firms in concentrated industries, a position that can be effectively undermined by the diversification of more powerful corporations into these industries.Originally published in 1975.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

Corporate Identity: In zehn Arbeitsschritten die eigene Identität finden und umsetzen

Corporate Identity: In zehn Arbeitsschritten die eigene Identität finden und umsetzen

Corporate Identity — Luxus oder Notwendigkeit?: Mit gutem Image zum Erfolg

Eine starke Identität und ein gutes Image sind Voraussetzung dafür, ein Unternehmen professionell zu managen, zu profilieren und zu präsentieren. Und dazu bedarf es ganzheitlicher CI-Prozesse. Das Buch bietet konkrete Anleitungen, nachvollziehbare Fallbeispiele sowie Methoden und Hinweise für die Umsetzung in der Praxis.

Corporate Identity als ganzheitliche Strategie (DUV Wirtschaftswissenschaft)

In den letzten Jahren taucht der Begriff Corporate Identity immer häufiger in Aufsätzen und Büchern zur strategischen Unternehmensführung auf. Auch in der Praxis findet der Begriff, mit dem unter Managern inzwischen wohlbekannten Kürzel "CI", immer mehr Beachtung. Es erscheint darum an der Zeit, Bilanz zu ziehen und einige Fragen zu stellen. Insbesondere: -Was hat die CI-Diskussion in der Theorie an Erkenntnissen hervorgebracht und wohin führt die Entwicklung? -Wie wird CI in der Praxis aufgefaßt und welche CI-Aktivitäten werden von den Unternehmen betrieben? Das vorliegende Buch widmet sich diesen Fragestellungen. Die Autoren gliedern es konsequent in einen theoretischen und einen empirischen Teil. Zu Beginn des theoretischen Teils steht der Versuch, Licht in die verwirrende Vielfalt unterschiedlicher Begriffsbestimmungen zu bringen. Auf der Grundlage einer geeigneten I)efinition werden alsdann verschiedene bekannte CI-Konzepte diskutiert. Hierbei zeigt sich, daß die ganzheitliche Sichtweise einer CI-Strategie am sinnvollsten und erfolgversprechendsten ist. Die Autoren entwickelten hierzu ein anschauliches Denkmodell, das sich wie ein roter Faden durch die Untersuchung zieht. Es zeigt einerseits den integrativen Charakter eines ganzheitlichen CI-Ansatzes, der bereits bestehende Konzepte der Unternehmensphilosophie und -kultur, der Organisationsentwicklung sowie der Imagepolitik zu einer umfassenden Unternehmensstrategie kombiniert. Ande­ rerseits ermöglicht es das Modell, ausführlich auf die einzelnen Strategieelemente, also die Handlungsparameter des Unternehmens, einzugehen, ohne daß dabei der Gesamtzusammenhang verloren geht.

Corporate Identity im Kreditwesen (DUV Wirtschaftswissenschaft)

Das generelle Problem der Corporate Identity ist es. daß zwar jedermann weiß. daß es sie gibt. daß sie auch weitgehend anerkannt ist. daß eine solche Corporate Identity für den geschäftlichen Erfolg eines Unter­ nehmens eine Rolle spielt oder möglicherweise sehr wichtig ist. daß sich dieses Konzept aber nur schwer instrumentieren läßt. Eine Unternehrnensphilosophie ist in der Regel eine in vielen Jahren gewachsene Sache. Ebensowenig wie es Klimaanlagen für das Betriebsklima gibt. kann man eine Unternehmensphilosophie dadurch kreieren. daß man einen Unternehmensphilosophen ein­ stellt. Dieser Schwierigkeit. das Konzept der Corporate Identity zu instrumentieren. steht freilich oft die Notwendigkeit gegenüber dies zu tun. Das Kreditwesen insgesamt hat seit Ende der 60er Jahre große Anstren­ gungen unternommen. durch graphische Gestaltung. durch Werbung. durch Mitarbeiterschulung und Personalauswahl sein Erscheinungsbild nach innen und außen zu verän­ dern. Diese Versuchen waren nicht immer auf Anhieb er­ folgreich. In einigen Fällen endeten forcierte Moderni­ sierungsbemühungen in Mißerfolgen. Seit einigen Jahren ist die Struktur des Finanzdienst­ leistungssektors vor allem durch eine beträchtliche Zahl von Unternehmenszusammenschlüssen geprägt. Das Zusammenwachsen zweier Institute schafft hierbei - ob man das nun zu beeinflussen versucht oder nicht - auf jeden Fall eine neue Unternehmensidentität. Das Problem ist. ob und wie stark man diesen Prozeß steuern kann. und ob und wie stark man ihn beschleunigen sollte.

Corporate Impact: Measuring and Managing Your Social Footprint

It is widely accepted that sustainability has an inescapable social component, but companies find it very hard to understand and measure their social impacts. Why is this? This book, by noted CSR practitioner, consultant and educator Adrian Henriques, provides the first coherent approach to identifying, understanding, measuring and accounting for corporate social impact. Beginning with an analysis of the nature of corporate social impact and the role of the stakeholder, the complex relationship of social impact to economic and environmental impacts is explored. This naturally leads to an examination of the contribution which social impact makes to business practice, profitability and ultimately to global sustainability. The second part of the book assesses the theory and practise of some of the critical measures of social impact which have been developed to date. This includes Social Return on Investment (SROI), local economic impact (LM3) and social capital as well as more established techniques. . It also explores new approaches such as 'social footprinting'. This is rounded out by presentation of a social accounting framework and how this can operate in parallel to standard financial accounting procedures. This volume provides a clear, digestible and practical roadmap for companies wishing to take responsibility for their role in society and improve their internal and external performance.

Corporate Imperialism: Conflict and Expropriation

This title was first published in 1976. The anticolonial revolution of the 1950s challenged the edifice of political imperialism established by the European powers in the nineteenth century. In the 1970s another revolution appears to be sweeping the Third World, a movement which seeks to challenge the new imperialism of the transnational corporations (TNCs) established in the twentieth century. These essays, written explicitly from a Third World perspective, suggest that conflict between Third World states and transnational corporations in natural resource industries is an inherent and dialectical result of a system of corporate imperialism.

Corporate Income Tax Law and Practice in the People's Republic of China

Corporate Income Tax Law and Practice in the People's Republic of China provides a comprehensive analysis of China's corporate income tax law. A new corporate income tax law came into effect on January 1, 2008. The new law unified the two corporate income tax systems that were applicable to domestic enterprises, foreign enterprises and foreign invested enterprises, respectively. A large portion of this book summarizes the new tax law, the implementation rules of the law, and the interpretation circulars issued by the Chinese tax authorities. The mapping of sections of tax law, regulations, and circulars into the applicable areas of business transactions and operations is helpful to lawyers, accountants, and other professionals. Detailed citations allow readers to find the authorities at their original sources. Also included is some introductory and historical information for those who seek a general knowledge of China tax law. One chapter is devoted to addressing major areas of tax treaties and agreements between China and other countries or regions. Tables summarizing the treaties with regards to permanent establishment, dividends, interest, royalties, and capital gains provide readers with a quick reference and an efficient means for comparative analysis. The issues of administration and enforcement of specific tax rules are discussed in various chapters. Separate chapters cover tax compliance and tax audit and appeals. In addition, the book comments on various tax rules and offers a view of possible tax treatments in areas that have not been addressed or clearly addressed by the law, regulations and other authorities.
