Impacts of dual tax system on foreign capital status*

AbstractForeign enterprises in China have long enjoyed ‘super‐national treatment’. This paper aims to explore the role of tax benefits in observed transitioning from domestic into foreign enterprise. Using firm‐level data, we find that the preferential tax policies enjoyed by foreign firms increase the probability of transitioning from domestic to foreign firms. To examine the effects of imported foreign direct investment (FDI), we separate introduced FDI into ‘genuine’ and ‘fake’ types according to the share of the host firm's registered capital, and it is seen that only ‘genuine’ FDI can improve the targeted firm's productivity and financial situation.

REGIONS AND INNOVATION: A NEW TALE OF THREE ECONOMIC REGIONS IN CHINA

Learning is a key component of firm upgrading in emerging economies, and China is no exception to this. Studies have identified, among others, two critical mechanisms that facilitate learning: (1) connections with supportive local governments that enhance access to resources or publicly funded knowledge and (2) connections to co-located foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) that enhance access to advanced knowledge and capabilities. However, previous studies on the effects of these connections on learning and innovation have had contradictory results. In this study, we develop a model of firm innovation capabilities based on regional differences in firms’ dependence on government and MNEs. Using a sample of 715 indigenous firms from the three historically dominant economic regions in China, we find that the effects of government and MNE ties on local firms’ learning and innovation performance vary depending on the historically dominant dependency patterns in the region.

Influencing Factors on Knowledge Management for Organizational Sustainability

This paper analyses the level of knowledge management implementation in organizations and the impact of control variables on knowledge management dimensions. In addition, the importance of knowledge management influence on the competitive sustainability of an organization is addressed. The idea of the research is to highlight key factors that affect the effectiveness and efficiency of knowledge management applications in transition conditions. Data for the study were obtained by surveying 520 respondents—managers of all levels from manufacturing enterprises in Serbia. A t-test was conducted in several variations. More precisely, the t-test analysis was conducted on the average assessments of knowledge management dimensions and with specific control variables. The findings indicate that knowledge management dimensions differ in domestic enterprises and foreign enterprises as well as that their impact differs across organizational levels. Financial performance (profitability, sales growth, asset growth, market share, competitive position in a specific industry, productivity, and salaries) was found to be a reliable indicator of knowledge management success. It can be concluded that knowledge management dimensions have an important role in transition countries, and it is evident that effective knowledge management is imperative for the competitive sustainability of an organization.

Bombay: the genealogy of a global imperial city

AbstractThis article will argue that the history of East India Company Bombay – like that of many foreign British enterprises, and like many other ‘global’ cities and indeed colonies generally – is best understood as the product of contradictions and contingencies. Bombay was never easy to define geographically and its identity as an ‘English’ settlement was precarious. It could not insulate itself militarily from the powerful polities nearby; nor could it always rely on the loyalty of its subjects, whether English or of other ethnicities. It was a city constructed out of crisis and tragedy, trial and error, a history that the story about a European dynastic ‘dowry’ obscures, and which Company representatives worked hard to conceal.

Confucianism and corporate fraud

PurposeConfucianism underpins Chinese traditional culture and the values of the Chinese people. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between adherence to Confucianism and corporate irregularities.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use the historical numbers of Jinshi (Imperial Scholars) in the Ming and Qing dynasties within 200 km of a company's location to proxy for the influence of Confucianism on the company, presenting strong evidence that Confucianism significantly reduces corporate irregularities.FindingsThe authors' findings are robust even when criticized with alternative definitions of Confucianism, sensitivity analysis and instrumental variable regression. The authors also discover that this effect is weaker in state-owned and foreign enterprises and weakened by the influence of Western culture.Originality/valueThis paper brings a new traditional-cultural perspective to the understanding of corporate irregularities and contributes to the literature on culture and finance. This paper also helps the authors understand the “China Puzzle” that is China's rapid economic development under an imperfect legal system.

Do taxes affect number of foreign enterprises controlled abroad by Slovak companies in the age of globalization?

Research background: Globalization has so far brought the possibility of international trade as well as the possibility of establishing companies abroad. Countries see a number of benefits in attracting foreign enterprises. However, the question arises about how countries may affect the number of enterprises established by domestic companies abroad?

The hypothesis is that paying taxes plays negative role in the number of foreign controlled enterprises by Slovak companies. Methods: To estimate the hypothesis, the panel regression analysis is applied. Findings & Value added: The results of the work may help in policy making decisions aimed at monitoring of foreign controlled companies from the Slovak republic. The findings reveal that taxes might not be the best, and at the same time the results reveal different area that may affect the establishment of such companies – namely trading across borders.

Перспективні напрями диверсифікації діяльності підприємств олійно-жирового сектора

The article proves the decisive role of the oil and fat sector for the national economy. The current state of activity of processing enterprises of oil and fat industry allows to state that extensive directions of growth and development are almost exhausted for them, since there is already a tendency to exceed existing production capacities every year compared to available volumes of raw materials for processing. This is a consequence of an increase in the volume of oilseeds exports while at the same time insufficient capacity of production capacities of processing oilseeds enterprises. One of the measures that can partially solve this problem is the use by enterprises of the domestic oil and fat sector of such direction of development as diversification of production. Although it is advisable to note the presence of certain differences in the use of diversification between Ukrainian and foreign enterprises. The use of kinship diversification at oil and fat enterprises is associated with the transition from mono structural forms of technological lines of plants to the universal ones capable of working with various types of raw materials. One of the promising areas of diversification for domestic enterprises of the oil and fat complex is the market of oilseeds processing products, where only several companies currently operate. Also, the priority direction of diversification of the activities of oil processing enterprises can be the production of such a refining product as phosphate concentrate. Significant potential and reserve for the development and expansion of oilseed processing enterprises lies in the intensification of biofuel production, in particular the production of pellets. Also, an additional direction of diversification of activities of enterprises that produce and use pellets for their own needs can be the production of thermal energy, which is aimed not only at providing their own technological needs, but also at providing such services to others. Thus, by diversifying its activities, oil and fat enterprises are able not only to improve their technical and economic performance, but also to intensify and stimulate the further development of enterprises of other related and connected sectors of the national economy, accelerating their modernization and more harmonious integration into the global economic space.
