Varieties of State Aid and Technological Development: Government Support to the Pulp and Paper Industry, the 1970s to the 1990s
2018
Countries promote the development of pulp and paper industry through industrial, technology and innovation policy measures. Direct interventions and regional and environmental policies, together with more general governmental measures on trade negotiations, taxation, labour policies, and infrastructure development (e.g. roads, energy) have also had an impact on shaping the geographical location of and investments in the pulp and paper industry. This chapter presents an historical overview of government support on pulp and paper industry in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries from roughly the 1970s to the 1990s. As the earlier literature suggests, in c…
La negociación colectiva de empresa por representantes de base unitaria: el principio de correspondencia como límite jurisprudencial. Comentario a la…
2016
La Sentencia que ocupará las siguientes páginas aborda la legalidad de un convenio de empresa suscrito por un delegado de personal pero cuyo ámbito funcional pretende extenderse a la totalidad de la empresa. Impugnado el convenio por una Federación Sindical, la cual pretende que las condiciones de los trabajadores se sigan rigiendo por el convenio sectorial aplicable, la AN estima la pretensión de la parte actora, aplicando el principio de correspondencia. The Court ruling that we are analyzing decides the legality of an enterprise agreement signed by an elected representative, but whose functional scope intended to extend to the entire company. Challenged the agreement by Federation ofTrad…
Il contratto collettivo aziendale in una prospettiva comparata. Italia, Francia, Spagna e Stati Uniti a confronto
2014
Sulla scorta del metodo comparato, la tesi analizza le recenti modifiche alla disciplina del contratto collettivo aziendale in Italia, Francia e Spagna, introdotte dalla legge e dagli accordi interconfederali; l'obiettivo è dimostrare un tendenziale avvicinamento degli stati europei analizzati al sistema nord-americano di relazioni industriali, in cui il rapporto di lavoro è regolato non tanto dalla legge o dall'accordo di categoria, ma dal contratto aziendale.Vengono inoltre analizzati i recenti accordi collettivi firmati alla Fiat ed alla Chrysler a partire dal processo di integrazione iniziato nel 2009. According to the comparative method, the thesis analyses the recent changes to the di…
Enhancing strategy design and planning in public utilities through “dynamic” balanced scorecards: insights from a project in a city water company
2008
In the last decade there has been an increasing effort to provide public utilities managers with planning and control tools, to take into account not only operational but also strategic issues. Among them are customer satisfaction, internal business process efficiency, business image, and bargaining power against other counterparts (e.g., the municipal administration). Often, however, such an effort has been oriented to generate a large volume of data, focused only on financial indicators and on a static view of the relevant system. This paper shows how the use of “dynamic” balanced scorecards can significantly improve the planning process in a strategic learning perspective. Insights from …
Coercion
2004
L''analisi della coazione si rivolge a quei vincoli che viziano la volontà di un agente in modo tale che il suo consenso e/o il suo accordo non può essere considerato volontario. In questo quadro generale, gli aspetti della coazione emergono in contesti diversi: dai problemi filosofici che determinano le condizioni necessarie e sufficienti per la mancanza di volontarietà, all''analisi economica delle asimmetrie nel potere di negoziazione, fino ai contesti che riguardano le relazioni internazionali.
Director Compensation Incentives and Acquisition Outcomes
2018
The principal objective of this chapter is to investigate the relation between director compensation structure and shareholder interests in the context of acquisitions. Our evidence suggests that acquirer firms that compensate their directors with a higher proportion of incentive-based compensation have significantly higher stock returns around the announcement. An increase in director equity-based pay results in a lower probability of value-destroying acquisitions and a lower acquisition premium for targets. We further find that acquirers with higher equity-based pay exhibit greater improvements in stock price and operating performance following acquisitions.
Multi-Resource Management for Multi-Tier Space Information Networks: A Cooperative Game
2019
With the drastic increase of space information network (SIN) traffic and the diversity of network traffic types, the optimal allocation of the scarce network resources is of great significance for optimizing the SIN system capability. In this paper, we propose a multi-resource management method for multi-tier SIN using the cooperative Nash bargaining solution. Since the original problem is a non-convex problem, we firstly make logarithmic transition, and then find a tightest lower bound function to convert the initial problem into a convex one. In order to carry out the optimal bandwidth and power allocation in SIN, we construct a joint bandwidth and power allocation (JBPA) algorithm. Simul…
The importance of relation-specific investments in capital structure decision: the case of the biopharmaceutical industry
2012
According to capital structure literature, bilateral relationships with external partners have a strong impact on a firm’s financing decisions because they involve relation-specific investments that would lose most of their value in case of liquidation. By adjusting their capital structure firms can reduce liquidation risks and incentive their partners to undertake such investments. In this paper we extend these arguments to strategic alliances in the context of biotechnology industry, where bilateral relationships are formed to advance the commercialization of innovation and R-S investments are a primary issue. We investigate alliances heterogeneity and analyze whether partnerships possess…
Política económica y redistribución: hacia una nueva arquitectura “pre-distributiva” de la política de rentas
2020
El presente trabajo diseña una política de rentas que podríamos llamar “pre-distributiva”. Su principal objetivo es describir la arquitectura de una política de rentas amplia, que tendría, básicamente, tres pilares: a) el reforzamiento de la capacidad redistributiva de la negociación colectiva, b) el establecimiento de una “norma salarial redistributiva” coordinada a nivel europeo y c) el aumento del Salario Mínimo Interprofesional. Dicha política de rentas podría contribuir a una distribución más equitativa de las rentas primarias del trabajo.
An interactive approach to multiple criteria optimization with multiple decision-makers
1986
In this article we propose a formal man-machine interactive approach to multiple criteria optimization with multiple decision makers. The approach is based on some of our earlier research findings in multiple criteria decision making. A discrete decision space is assumed. The same framework may readily be used for multiple criteria mathematical programming problems. To test the approach two experiments were conducted using undergraduate Business School students as subjects in Finland and in the United States. The context was, respectively, a high-level Finnish labor-management problem and the management-union collective bargaining game developed at the Krannert Graduate School of Management…
