Productivity, Ownership and National Chains: Evidence from the British Retail Sector
2009
Abstract This paper investigates factors explaining firms' productivity differences in the British retail sector. In particular, using simultaneous quantile regressions, it aims to uncover performance gaps stemming from foreign ownership and multinationality, as well as national scale economies. The findings suggest that foreign ownership weakly explains differences in performance across retailers. Only when firms in the upper quantiles of the TFP distribution are compared, the role of foreign ownership gains statistical significance, although with exceptions. In addition, firms able to expand their infrastructure across Great Britain possess a productivity advantage over more local retaile…

Patterns of managerial action: an empirical analysis of German sport managers
2012
Based on the assumption that the organisational society is divided into three clearly defined economic sectors, it seems an obvious assumption to adequately differentiate the educational curriculum according to these three sectors. By examining the characteristics of the different tasks of sport managers within the abovementioned sectors, it can be noted that it is possible to speak of a general job profile, although significant individual interior deviations are evident. With the use of cluster analysis techniques, empirical manager types can be identified, which cannot easily be matched into the theoretical sector typologies.
