Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating the issue of employee representation in multinational companies (MNCs), this book sets out to systematically conceptualise the modes of articulation between different action fields. While previous studies have focused on forms of employee representation that have emerged throughout recent decades, rather little is known about the interaction and coordination of representational bodies and actors, such as trade unions and European or World Works Councils. Given the growing importance of transnational restructuring in MNCs, understanding the conditions under which employees are able to participate in company decision-making is a crucial issue. Based on empirical case studies and interviews with employee representatives from ten countries across Europe, the authors investigate the role of representational bodies in periods of company restructuring. Proposing a shift in perspectives in research on transnational labour relations and bringing new insights into structures and practices of employee representation in MNCs, this book will be a valuable read for both scholars and practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Companies in today's business world are under a constant pressure: they have to get as close as possible to the customer, they have to become ever more flexible and they need to reduce costs. In order to face these challenges, some organisational structures are more likely to promise success than others. The characteristics of these structures are no secret, but companies often have the problem that they don't know how to put them into practice. The present work is intended to give an answer to this question. Having analysed what had been written about putting organisational change into practice 1 tested my ideas by a series of ten interviews which took place in companies of the German production sector. Six points were identified as essential: 1. The problem and the objectives of the project should be clear for all participants. 2. The company should dispose of enough time and financial resources as well as a trusting working climate and a supportive top and middle management. 3. Borderless communication is necessary, especially concerning the evolution of the change project and the personal consequences for each person. 4. The employees should be able to participate actively in elaborating the change project, in decision-making and in identifying possibilities to stimulate motivation. This participation should be reflected in an adequate bonus system. 5. Continuous training for all (laying special attention an group leaders) is important an such areas as group work, communication and motivation. The mentioned recommendations could be useful for the managers of companies which are thinking about a reorganisation. That would enable them to avoid mistakes made by other companies. The following mistakes were the most important ones: Impatience and the expectation that there will be a 'magic solution' (it might take up to five years to reach the desired state). The non-implication of the workforce in introducing the change process (result: the project is being blocked from their side). Lack of communication which creates rumours about the coming change process (result: anxiety is created and the best workers will try to find another job). Out of date bonuses which are not favourable in order to reach the company's global objectives (such as individual bonuses and 'competition stimulators' between groups).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper provides a review of features of restructuring strategies, indicating that distress may limit the choice available. It then introduces the decision theory to show that the final choice may be influenced by objective criteria and by subjective or non-rational criteria as well as by social interactions. The authors propose a framework in which organizational and environmental variables, along with restructuring methods, influence the decision-making of restructuring strategy selected for declining companies.. The authors provide a multidisciplinary point of view in which they consider such metrics as social and psychological variables in the study of decision in sick companies.A more recent adaptation of this paper has been published under the title Behavioral Influences in Selecting Restructuring Strategies for Sick Companies in ICFAI Journal of Behavioral Finance, December 2007.

Download or read book Transfer Pricing Business Restructurings written by Richard Thompson Ainsworth and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transfer pricing in business restructuring is attracting global attention. In the past two years two key policy-making groups have released three substantive documents on this topic. The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) issued two position statements while the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) issued one. While restructurings are a very common commercial practice, until recently it has been uncommon to apply transfer pricing criteria when examining them in detail. Essentially, the OECD has overlooked that a unique and valuable intangible is created during the restructuring process. By not acknowledging that this intangible in the mix, the OECD fails to see the whole picture. The JCT has the same blind spot. Even though the JCT is far more focused on intangible assets, it too overlooks the restructuring's intangible asset creating function. The critical point that both the OECD and JCT fail to understand is that a restructuring's core activity is not asset movement; it is fundamentally changing enterprise decision-making. As a result, when efforts are made to square real world business restructurings with the OECD's abstractions of business restructurings, things do not “fit” well. Some of the most obvious problems are:• Successful business restructurings are more about aligning decision-making processes throughout an MNE with its structure, than they are about structural change; the OECD is largely concerned with asset transfers and very little about changes in decision-making.• Because of the need to critically examine decision-making the CEO frequently is directly involved in successfully restructurings; the OECD does not consider the involvement of the CEO in business restructurings.• Over 70% of business restructurings fail to achieve performance objectives, and many actually damage productivity; the OECD largely ignores losses in a restructuring, focusing instead on restructuring gains. • Business restructurings primarily seek performance-changing synergies; the OECD's concern is with transfers of profit potential (that may include losses) embedded in assets transferred among related parties. • Business restructurings invariably involve three or more entities, if not the entire MNE; the OECD only examines binary transactions between two related parties within the MNE.

Download or read book The Theory of the Business Harvard Business Review Classics written by Peter F. Drucker and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter F. Drucker argues that what underlies the current malaise of so many large and successful organizations worldwide is that their theory of the business no longer works. The story is a familiar one: a company that was a superstar only yesterday finds itself stagnating and frustrated, in trouble and, often, in a seemingly unmanageable crisis. The root cause of nearly every one of these crises is not that things are being done poorly. It is not even that the wrong things are being done. Indeed, in most cases, the right things are being done—but fruitlessly. What accounts for this apparent paradox? The assumptions on which the organization has been built and is being run no longer fit reality. These are the assumptions that shape any organization's behavior, dictate its decisions about what to do and what not to do, and define what an organization considers meaningful results. These assumptions are what Drucker calls a company's theory of the business. The Harvard Business Review Classics series offers you the opportunity to make seminal Harvard Business Review articles a part of your permanent management library. Each highly readable volume contains a groundbreaking idea that continues to shape best practices and inspire countless managers around the world—and will have a direct impact on you today and for years to come.
