Value added taxes on electronic commerce: Obstacles to the EU Commission’s approach
2000
While e-commerce is developing tremendously fast, domestic politics and legislation labour to keep up with the dynamics of the new technology. Among other things, fiscal law is a particularly explosive area. Here, the current proposal of the EU Commission is to apply the already existing value added tax to e-commerce. By doing so, the Commission hopes to prevent the massive threatened shortfall in tax revenue. How is this approach of the Commission to be judged? Are there any alternatives?
The end of the subordinate worker?: collaborative economy, on-demand economy, Gig economy, and the crowdworkers' need for protection
2017
The digital era has changed industrial relations dramatically, giving rise to considerable legal uncertainty about the rules that apply in cyberspace. Technology is transforming business organization in a way that makes the employee as a salaried worker less necessary. A new type of company in the 'on demand economy' or 'sharing economy' connecting customers directly with individual service providers is emerging. These companies base their core business entirely on workers classified as selfemployed workers. In this connection, employment law is facing its greatest challenge, dealing with a very different reality compared to the one that existed when it came into being. However, workers sti…
Oragnizational design as a learning enabler: A fuzzy-set approach
2016
In the literature on organizational learning, very few empirical studies attempt to show how organizational design can enable or hinder learning in organizations. This study uses a fuzzy-set technique (fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis: fsQCA) as an initial approach to analyzing different design variables and how they affect organizational learning. The results prove that themechanical structures are suitable for organizational learning, especially in large companies. Furthermore, qualified workers should have autonomy to learn.

Technological strategic alliances and performance : the mediating effect of knowledge-based competencies

The study uses a sample of Spanish industrial firms. The results findings prove that the relationship between technological strategic alliances, and performance is mediated by the generation of knowledge-based distinctive c…

“The Same Staff Can Be Enough”. Employers’ Resilience Strategies in Recruitment Decisions
2018
Studies on resilience have sprung from a need to understand the survival strategies of organizations when faced with the emergence of unexpected, potentially destructive and negative events in the lives of the organizations. This article, on the other hand, intends to highlight organizational resilience when confronted with unexpected positive events, seldom considered by such studies. This is the well-known macroeconomic phenomenon of the time lag between economic growth and labor demand at the moment that a regressive economic cycle is reversed. With which strategies do companies, in the face of such an event, transform a resilient attitude into real resilient behavior? Five strategies of…
