A multilevel view of internal technological innovation

ABSTRACT This article views organizational innovation as a fundamentally multilevel phenomenon. Project teams conceive of new offerings and work to obtain their final approval. This process unfolds within a structural context shaped by executives in response to environmental dictates. Using Bower’s definition–impetus–context model as a guiding framework, I argue that structures and processes with both functional and dysfunctional consequences arise at various levels. Innovation teams develop well-defined cultures that, if not properly channeled, can produce negative effects on the innovation effort. Similarly, corporate leaders evolve a structural context to facilitate innovation, but risk introducing dislocations into existing patterns of interaction in doing so. Given these challenges, the mediating role of the corporate division takes on importance for organizations seeking to profit from innovative undertakings. Established firms that mobilize their corporate divisions to balance the competing needs of innovating teams and the broader company seem well poised to excel at internal technological innovation.

Does environmental regulation enhance firm's position in dual value chain? An analysis based on environmental information disclosure

Climbing the dual value chain (DVC) of parallel development in global and domestic value chains is an important channel to get rid of bottom solidification. Based on the data of international input-output tables after embedding provinces and decomposing value-added flow during 2003–2012, this article provides measurement for downstream or upstream embedding and division position indexes of A-listed firms. Then, theoretical framework of environmental regulation affecting DVC embeddedness is constructed, and the Environmental Information Disclosure (EID) trial implemented in 2008 is regarded as a quasi-natural experiment. The results show that EID enhances corporate division position in DVC by weakening downstream embeddedness and increasing upstream embeddedness, domestic firms are gradually transforming from low-end manufacturers to high-end designers. The effect works with a year lag in downstream embeddedness and lags 2 years in others. Heterogeneity analysis confirms that enhancement of division position is more sensitive in resource-rich cities with high marketization or labor-intensive firms and manufacturing or service sectors. Besides, we find that environmental regulation such as EID induces technological innovation for process upgrade, product improvement for quality upgrade and allocation optimization for function upgrade to transform the role and degree of firms embedding DVC.

Employees' experience of human resource practices under plural form franchising: The impact of front‐line managerial capability

AbstractThe franchising business model has received scant attention within the field of human resource management (HRM). Data tracking workers' experience of this format are more elusive still. This study draws on comparative, qualitative data derived from discussions with 82 respondents working within the corporate and franchised divisions of a market leading, fast food multinational company (MNC). Extant analyses of franchised operations point to shortcomings in franchisees' treatment of staff. This outcome is typically asserted to be the result of the opportunism that flows from the desire to maximise revenues and minimise costs. This emphasis on structural pressures ignores the micro‐level influences and the complexity of the day‐to‐day dynamics of the employment relationship. Specifically, the impact of the leadership skills and competence of front‐line managers (FLMs) is overlooked. The study highlights that differences in FLM capability significantly affect the work climate, further aggravating poor HR activities in the franchised units, while offsetting some of the repressive task features associated with routinised work in the corporate division.

LARGE CORPORATIONS IN PROJECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESOURCES IN SIBERIA AND THE FAR EAST

In modern Russia, large industrial corporations, some of which are the direct "heirs" of socialist factories, are traditionally the main initiators, operators and beneficiaries of projects to develop the resources of Siberia and the Far East. An approach to assessing the impact of large-scale natural resource development projects on the economic performance of individual regions through the performance of individual companies involved in these projects is proposed. Testing the approach based on the financial statements of 300 largest companies in the real sector of Siberia and the Far East for 2014-2019 showed that resource projects of large corporations are the main revenue generator, and their dynamics largely determine the trajectory of economic development of individual regions. Financial indicators of divisions of large corporations. the companies involved in these projects grew faster than the rest of the companies. At the same time, a significant part of the largest projects for the development of mineral resources has not yet reached the stage when a noticeable decline in volume and cost indicators begins, and therefore large corporations - operators of these projects will continue to play the role of key players determining the economic growth potential of Siberia and the Far East.

Continuity as the Key to Reform of Section 355

There can be little doubt that Internal Revenue Code (Code) section 355 is overly complex; the piecemeal adjustments spanning multiple decades could serve as exemplars of the potential pitfalls of incremental reform. Revisions to section 355 have tended to be under- or over-inclusive because they are reactive to particular deals, yet they leave largely intact older structures that dealt with different deals. The result is a jumble of provisions that fail to implement a coherent, principled approach to the tax treatment of corporate divisions. In Reform of Section 355, Bret Wells urges changing Code section 355 to focus on the continuity of historic shareholders and historic assets. The proposals Wells suggests are grounded in congressional intent, specifically the rise and fall of the General Utilities doctrine and its role in the taxation of corporate divisions. This Response to Reform of Section 355 explores the continuity concept and considers the extent to which, if there were conflicting readings of congressional intent or changes to congressional intent, the use of the continuity concept to guide section 355 reform would remain a principled choice.

Reconciling legal certainty in corporate divisions with respect for civil law remedies: Case C-394/18 I.G.I. Srl v. Maria Grazia Cicenia

On 30 January 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) delivered its judgment in the Case C 394/18 I.G.I. Srl v. Maria Grazia Cicenia et al. The case offers an interpretation of the Directive on corporate divisions in a case that fell outside its scope, and a delicate balancing act between the need to protect legal certainty in corporate divisions, and the need to respect Private Law remedies enshrined in domestic civil codes. The CJEU ruled that the rules of the Sixth Council Directive 82/891/EEC did not preclude the creditors of a company being divided from bringing an actio pauliana against the corporate division, in order to obtain a declaration that the division does not have effects against them, nor did it preclude them from bringing enforcement proceedings against the assets transferred to the newly formed company.

Глобальные города и крупный бизнес: контуры партнёрства в целях устойчивого развития

The article reveals the permanent expansion in the number of actors aimed at proper solution of the sustainable development goals, among which the largest TNCs with huge material, financial, human and other resources play a special role. The increased territorial concentration of the structures of transnational businesses gives particular weight in the global economy to individual cities that have received the name of global centers, whereas their openness to partnership with municipal authorities provides a serious foundation for sustainable development. The growing importance of studying cities in the context of globalization and the active branching of large businesses is emphasized not so much as hubs for home-based TNCs, but as localization areas for divisions of largest corporations from other countries. The scale of the presence of foreign companies in the US global cities is revealed, the main features of the industry composition and geographical structure of these companies in the country’s agglomerations are reasoned and visualized. The ambiguity of the modern approach of TNCs in supporting cities sustainable development goals is considered. Sustainability agenda is significant for the success and business reputation of companies but often perceived as a source of financial costs. Based on an analysis of the data of The US Cities Sustainable Development Goals Report, the Forbes 2000 ranking and the official websites of leading TNCs, a number of methods are used to test the hypothesis on the degree and nature of the impact of big businesses, represented by home-based TNCs and branches of foreign companies, on sustainability of the US global cities. It has been determined that global cities have a number of common problems and have not yet achieved sustainable development goals; there is no direct correlation between the success of their implementation and the status of cities in the global ranking, and both local and foreign businesses take a very modest part in this process. A radical and massive change in business strategies can provide a breakthrough in sustainable development of cities and the country.

합병 및 분할 관련 채권자보호제도 개정 제안

합병이나 분할을 통하면 회사채권자의 동의 없이도 소멸회사나 분할회사의 채무 및 계약을 합병존속회사나 분할신설회사에 이전할 수 있다. 이 과정에서 회사채권자에게 손해가 발생하는 것을 막기 위해 상법은 채권자보호 제도를 두고 있다. 합병에 대해 채권자가 이의를 제출하면 회사는 해당 채권자에 대해 변제, 담보제공, 신탁재산 설정의 보호조치를 취하여야 한다. 분할당사회사들은 분할 전 회사채무에 대해 연대책임을 부담하거나, 채권자이의 절차를 거치는 대신 개별책임을 부담하는 방식 중 하나를 선택할 수 있다. 이러한 우리나라의 채권자보호 제도는 회사법 상 별도의 채권자보호 제도가 없는 미국은 물론 독일, 프랑스, 영국 등 유럽 국가들이나 일본, 중국, 싱가폴 등에 비해 상당히 강력한 편이다.<BR> 그런데 우리나라의 채권자보호 제도는 합병이나 분할로 인하여 실제 채권가치가 하락하는지, 채권자 별로 어떠한 영향을 받는지와 관계없이 일률적으로 적용되고, 이의를 제기할지 여부가 채권자의 선택에 맡겨지기 때문에 이로 인하여 과잉보호와 과소보호의 문제가 발생한다. 그 결과 보호의 필요성이 없는 채권자도 이의제기를 통해 조기변제나 담보를 제공 받을 수 있는 반면, 정작 보호의 필요성이 있는 채권자가 이의를 제기하지 못하여 보호를 받지 못할 수도 있다. 예를 들어 하청업체와 같이 회사와의 거래관계나 협상력을 고려할 때 이의를 제기하기 어려운 채권자나, 채권 발생 여부를 알지 못하여 이의를 제기하지 못하는 불법행위 피해자들은 현행 제도를 통해 보호받기 어렵다. 이의를 제기한 채권자에게 제공하여야 하는 담보 등 보호조치가 충분한지 여부에 대해 회사와 채권자간에 다툼이 있는 경우에는 합병이나 개별책임 방식에 의한 분할을 완료하는 것이 어렵다는 문제점도 있다. 우리나라의 채권자보호 제도는 채권자보호라는 본래의 목적을 적절하게 달성하지 못하면서도 합병이나 분할 거래 진행에 과도한 부담을 주고 있다.<BR> 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제의식을 바탕으로 채권자보호 제도의 개편을 제안한다. 먼저 합병의 경우에는 합병으로 인하여 실제 채권가치가 하락하는 채권자만 이의를 제기할 수 있도록 하여야 한다. 채권자의 이의제출로 인하여 합병이 무산되거나 장기화되는 것을 막기 위해, 합병이 완료된 이후 이의를 제출하는 사후적 방식으로 전환할 것을 제안한다. 이의권을 행사하는 것이 어렵거나 불가능한 채권자는 상법보다는 특별법 상 주주의 유한책임 제한 등의 방법을 통해 보호하는 것이 효율적이다.<BR> 분할당사회사가 개별적으로 책임을 부담하는 형태의 분할의 경우 앞서 본 채권자이의 제도와 관련한 문제점이 대부분 그대로 문제된다. 이에 따라 개별책임 방식을 폐지하고, 분할당사회사들이 분할 전 채무에 대해 공동으로 책임을 부담하게 하되, 해당 채무와 관련한 회사가 이를 우선적으로 변제하도록 연대책임 대신 보증책임 방식으로 전환할 것을 제안한다.

Fermentation returns to Japan

Since 2008, Mitsubishi Chemical’s biopolymer effort has gone from being a modest project team to a business to a full-fledged corporate division. Meanwhile, Kyowa Hakko Bio recently expanded its fermentation facilities in Thailand and is about to do the same in Shanghai. And Kaneka is initiating mass production of a biopolymer that biodegrades in both water and the soil. Japanese firms like these are aggressively expanding in industrial biotechnology worldwide. Some, like Ajinomoto and Kyowa Hakko Bio, are traditional players in the fermentation field that are returning to their roots. Others are chemical firms that have invested in fermentation techniques to mass-produce various materials. The result is that Japan is quietly becoming a global leader in the use of industrial biotechnology in business sectors as disparate as commodity plastics and health care. “Japan could be a game changer in the global biotechnology industry,” says Tomohiro Fujita, CEO of the biotech
