ACCOUNTING OF FRANCHISING ACTIVITIES OF TOURIST ENTERPRISES OF UKRAINE

The article is devoted to solving several problems in the methodology of accounting for travel franchising. The methodology is based on a system of binding relationships formed between the franchisor and the franchisee to account for the accrual of a one-time/lump sum and royalty/periodic service fee. Influence on the methodology of accounting for franchising operations in tourism is the understanding of the essence of franchising as an agreement, a special type of business, marketing system, forms of business cooperation, forms of organization and business, delivery of services to end-users. The result of the need to gradually attribute the lump sum to expenses or income of the reporting period during the term of the agreement is the use of the mechanism of redistribution through the accounts of expenses/income of future periods.

Sistem Syarikah Abdan dalam Fikih Islam dan Contoh Penerapannya pada Era Kontemporer

Syarikah al-abdan is a form of muamalah that can be applied today in improving the welfare of the people. However, in practice today, it seems that there are problems among Muslims in seeing and sorting out the practice of syarikah al-abdan which is following the Shari'a. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to describe the syarikah al-abdan scheme and its current contemporary application forms. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive research approach with library research techniques and content analysis. The results of this study indicate that syarikah al-abdan is a form of business cooperation between two or more people preceded by mutual agreement in determining the results of the profits and/or wages between them. However, in its implementation, it is necessary to pay attention to the pillars and requirements of the syarikah al-abdan, and to consider the views of the majority of madhhab scholars and the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI). In practice, this study describes the form of syarikah al-abdan in the profession of fisherman and tailor.

KLJUČNA PITANJA PREVOĐENJA FINANSIJSKIH IZVEŠTAJA MULTINACIONALNIH KOMPANIJA

Circumstances, which include international trade intensification, development of various forms of business cooperation outside national borders - co-production, transfer of technology, joint ventures, strategic alliances, direct foreign investments, and dynamic changes in the business environment, require the management of a company to change its focus, from a local to a global approach. Multinational companies are business leaders in a global framework.

Value creation in banking through strategic alliances and joint ventures

A large number of studies (DeYoung et al., 2009) analyze merger outcomes in the financial industry, while other forms of business cooperation are still poorly investigated. Our paper examines results of strategic alliances and joint ventures in European and US banking over the period 1999–2009. First, we estimate abnormal returns around the deal announcement date and then these are regressed on a large set of explanatory variables. We show that joint ventures create shareholder value when involving non-banking financial partners and allowing banks to expand abroad, while international strategic alliances tend to destroy shareholder value.

Joint Venture, an Alternative for Knowledge Learning

Joint venture as a form of business cooperation is a valid alternative for acquiring external knowledge and particularly so when it is unavailable on the market. Joint venture constitutes an interesting instrument for learning in firms that belong to high technology sectors; it not only enables access to learning but can also help its assimilation and even its subsequent application to new uses. To analyze this learning, we focus on the elements that make it up, the nature of transferred knowledge, communication between partners, the motivation of the partner to learn, and lastly, the context in which this occurs, such as the type of organizational structure of the partner firm. We obtained a sample composed of 74 firms that have been involved in at least one joint venture and that recognize the fact that they have obtained knowledge from their partner. We applied structural equations via the EQS 6.1 program to contrast our hypotheses. Among the more notable results is the fact that motivation on the part of the learning partner plays a relevant role in this process and that this motivation depends, to a large extent, on the complexity of the knowledge to be transferred.
