Ahmed, Hameed, and Ali Najam. "How Corporate Governance Affects Strategy of Corporations : - Lessons from Enron Corporation -." Thesis, Linköping University, Department of Management and Economics, 2006. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-5891.
Full textAbstract:
Corporate governance is a subject of academic and professional debate. It has and it will continue to be a topic under scrutiny for subsequent deliberations since there are many different research dimensions and contexts associated with it. However, it has been observed that the linkage between corporate governance and strategy of a corporation remains as an untapped area with considerable avenues of research. This paper tends to explore this linkage, using Enron scandal as backdrop.
In the aftermath of the debacle of US energy giant Enron in 2001, the significance of corporate governance has come under heavy scrutiny of different researchers. Whereas different explanations have been attributed to its downfall, it has been widely accepted that this was a case of failed corporate governance.
This paper tends to explore Enron downfall from the perspective of failed corporate governance. By defining and exploring corporate governance and its underlying issues, the authors have used Agency theory as a theoretical framework in unison with internationally renowned auditing company - Ernst & Young Model - to understand the role of different actors and forces responsible for Enron collapse.
By using qualitative research method, the authors have used secondary literature as well as combination of questionnaires and telephonic interviews to obtain viewpoint of renowned international academic / professional researchers. They have been identified through convenience sampling methodology. A few internationally renowned auditing companies have also been used as part of this survey to explore diversity of perspectives in this context. Efforts have been made; to explore the main causes rather then to write just another case on Enron.
After drawing lessons from Enron, the paper concludes with the understanding that there is direct link between corporate governance and strategy of corporations. However there is diversity of perspectives in this context and hence it requires further exploration and debate.

To date, the primary treatment for spinal cord injuries has been the use of spinal fixation devices to create a stable environment for the spinal cord to heal. The second treatment option is to remove soft tissue near and around the spinal cord intended to reduce pressure on the spinal cord and allow the spinal cord to heal on its own. InVivo Therapeutics Corporation is a startup founded to commercialize novel science and technology that was developed through a collaborative effort between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Langer labs, and the department of Neuroscience at Harvard Medical School. Together they have created a patent pending medical device that will provide the first "Neuro-Tissue Engineered" implantable device for the immediate treatment of spinal cord injuries. We expect to have our first product on the market in 2010, and we will continue to work in our labs to develop a portfolio of three to four product categories in order to meet the systemic needs of the spinal cord injury patient. This thesis presents the first business plan, to commercialize this innovative treatment option.
(cont.) It is always challenging to be first to market with such an innovative product, so we have meticulously explored all relevant strategic initiatives, and tactical tasks required to bring our products to market. As the result we have developed a comprehensive business plan to ensure InVivo's success. Key components of the plan are: Introduction to InVivo Therapeutics, InVivo's business model, critical strategic analysis, functional strategies, financial analysis, and an integrative strategic framework. We have created a vision, mission, and strategic model that will lead to InVivo Therapeutics becoming a global leader in the treatment of neurological disease.

Mestrado em FinançasEste relatório contém uma avaliação detalhada da Eaton Corporation e segue o formato recomendado pelo CFA Institute. A escolha desta empresa deveu-se ao facto de ter realizado um estágio na sua sucursal em Portugal e assim tendo ficado a conhecer um pouco mais desta industria. Este relatório foi realizado através da informação pública disponível até setembro de 2017, informações e eventos após esta data não foram considerados. Para a obtenção do preço-alvo, dois métodos foram utilizados, um absoluto e um relativo. O absoluto foi o método dos Fluxos de Caixa Descontados (DCF) e o relativo foi o método dos múltiplos comparáveis. No final de 2017 o preço-alvo é de $64.91, sendo a nossa recomendação final para a Eaton Corporation de venda. A nossa avaliação do risco estima ainda um risco baixo para a empresa.

Mestrado em FinançasEste relatório reflete a avaliação da empresa de Semi-condutores, a NVIDIA Corporation e está de acordo com o trabalho final de mestrado de Finanças do ISEG. Este relatório foi escrito com base nas recomendações do CFA Institute. A NVIDIA é uma empresa que está a enfrentar um momento bastante singular comparado com os seus competidores, com um crescimento anual de vendas de 40% e um aumento na avaliação das suas ações de 334,46% nos últimos dos anos. Não só a NVIDIA está a ter uma performance financeira interessante como se está a entrar em mercados emergentes como a autonomização automóvel e a criptomoeda, o que faz com que seja um caso de estudo bastante interessante. Também a fascinação em relação a tecnologia e em especifico, ao gaming, foram uma das razões pela qual esta empresa foi escolhida. Este relatório foi desenvolvido com base em informação pública disponível até 30 de Junho de 2018 e nenhuma informação posterior a esta data não foi considerada. O preço de ação de $303,67, foi obtido através do modelo de Fluxos de Caixa Descontados. O método de avaliação relativa foi tentado, porém dado à situação única da NVIDIA, não existe competidores que consideremos como peer's comparáveis em termos de múltiplos. Esta avaliação sugere uma recomendação de COMPRA, apesar do seu risco médio, dado que a NVDIA está consolidada no seu mercado principal, o gaming, porém existe alguma incerteza relativamente aos mercados da criptomoeda e autonomização automóvel.
This project reflects an evaluation of NVIDIA Corporation, Semiconductor Company, according to ISEG´s Master in Finance final work project. This report was written in agreement with the recommendations of the CFA Institute. NVIDIA is a company that is facing a very singular moment comparing to its peers, with a 40% annual revenue growth and a valuation increase of 334,46% in the last two years. Not only NVIDIA is having an interesting financial performance but also is entering in emerging markets, such as, autonomous cars and cryptocurrencies, being a very interesting case study. Also the fascination about technology and gaming in specific was one of the reasons this company was chosen. This report was developed considering public information available until June 30th 2018 and any information or event subsequent to this date has not been considered. The price target of $303,67 was obtained from the Discounted Cash Flow method. The relative valuation method was attempted, but due to the unique situation of NVIDIA, there are not close peers following the criteria's used. This valuation suggests to a BUY recommendation, although with medium risk, since NVIDIA is consolidated in their main market, gaming, but there is some uncertainty relatively to markets like cryptocurrency and autonomous cars.

Mestrado em FinançasEsta análise representa a valorização da empresa Intel Corporation de acordo com as normas do mestrado de Finanças do ISEG, em particular, das normas para apresentação de projeto para Trabalho Final de Mestrado. O relatório de avaliação aqui presente segue as estruturas recomendadas pelo Instituto CFA. A Intel foi a empresa escolhida pelo autor pelo seu interesse pessoal no setor tecnológico, em particular, pela indústria dos semicondutores. Embora esta análise tenha em consideração informação histórica e decisões anteriores da empresa, a avaliação da Intel foi preferencialmente assente em tendências futuras e projecções para a indústria semicondutora. A metodologia de avaliação escolhida foi uma média ponderada entre os Fluxos de Caixa Descontados (DCF), Múltiplos e Dividendos Descontados (DDM). O resultado da avaliação originou um preço-alvo de $55.53 com um potencial de valorização de 6.61%. Tendo em conta o preço atual da ação da Intel de $52.09 e um risco associado de grau elevado, a recomendação final para a ação da empresa Intel Corporation é de "Reduzir". Os pressupostos assumidos relativamente à indústria semicondutora foram baseados em informação de fontes fidedignas, tais como os websites Business Insider e TechCrunch, entre outros. Informação financeira foi extraída de websites tais como Yahoo Finance e Bloomberg, entre outros.

Mestrado em FinançasEste projeto representa uma avaliação detalhada da Lockheed Martin Corporation, obedecendo à estrutura de Trabalho Final de Mestrado, neste caso projeto, do Mestrado de Finanças do ISEG. Este, foi escrito com base nas instruções dadas pelo CFA Institute. Escolher a LMT baseou-se, primeiramente no meu interesse pessoal sobre a indústria aeroespacial & defesa, que atualmente está a ganhar cada vez mais relevância, devido ao aumento das tensões geopolíticas, e segundamente, devido à LMT ser a maior empresa de defesa norte americana, e ao meu desejo de melhor entender como a empresa se organiza. Este relatório contempla informação disponível até 14 de outubro de 2020, e qualquer informação posterior não será refletida nesta avaliação. O preço alvo foi calculado usando o método de avaliação absoluta, o Discount Cash Flow Method (DCF), e sustentado pelo Dividend Discount Model (DDM), Adjusted Present Value (APV) e por métodos de avaliação relativa. É expectável para o fim de 2021 que o preço alvo seja $480,05, representando um potencial de 23% face ao preço de 14 de outubro, $390,72. Os maiores riscos associados à LMT são a elevada dependência do Governo, o impacto do Covid-19 e a disrupção da cadeia de abastecimento. Portanto, tendo em conta este potencial de subida como de médio risco, a nossa recomendação é no sentido de compra.
This project represents a detailed valuation of Lockheed Martin Corporation, guided by the structure of ISEG?s Master of Finance final work project. It also was written following the recommendations of the CFA Institute. The reason behind choosing LMT lies on, primarily, to my personnel interest on the Aerospace & Defense industry, which is becoming more and more relevant nowadays, due to the increasing geopolitical tensions, and secondly due to LMT being the biggest defense player in the USA, and my desire to better understand the organization. This report contemplates only the information available until October 14, 2020, any information or event after this specific date will not be reflected on this valuation. The price target was calculated using the absolute valuation method, the Discounted Cash Flow Method (DCF), and was supplement by the Dividend Discount Method (DDM), Adjusted Present Model (APV) and relative valuation method. It is expected that at the end of 2021 the target price will be $480,05/sh, representing a potential upside of 23% against the closing price of October 14th of $390,72/sh. The main risks associated with LMT's operations are the Governance dependence, Covid-19 impact, and Supply Chain disruption. Thus, taking this upside potential in consideration as a medium risk associated with this company, our recommendation is to buy.

Mestrado em FinançasEste Trabalho Final de Mestrado consiste numa análise e avaliação, seguidas de uma recomendação da ação da GD Corporation, uma empresa americana que opera na indústria da Aviação e Defesa. Esta avaliação e consequente recomendação tomam em consideração pressupostos para os próximos cinco anos, mas também os dados financeiros históricos da empresa. O primeiro passo neste Equity Research foi analisar a história da empresa, as suas unidades de negócio e a sua estrutura de gestão da empresa. Parte desta análise inicial é também analisar a indústria em que a empresa opera, perceber qual é a situação económica vivida e como é que tal situação vai afetar a performance da empresa no futuro. A segunda parte deste relatório consiste em fazer uma análise para apurar o price target da GD no final de 2021. Nesta análise, foram aplicados quatro modelos diferentes: o Método dos Fluxos de Caixa Descontados, o Modelo dos Dividendos Descontados, o Modelo do Valor Presente Ajustado e uma Análise por Múltiplos. Dos modelos agora mencionados, o Método dos Fluxos de Caixa Descontados é o principal modelo em que esta recomendação se baseia. Este modelo resulta num price target de $168,75 por ação para o final de 2021, implicado um potencial de valorização de 12,3%, indicando uma recomendação para manter. Esta avaliação é então suportada pelos restantes três modelos, que resultam também em price targets similares. No entanto, importa referir o risco médio inerente a esta recomendação.
This Master's Final Work consists of an analysis and valuation, followed by a recommendation of GD Corporation share, an American company operating in the Aerospace & Defense industry. This valuation and consequent recommendation takes into consideration assumptions considered to be within reason for the next five years as well as the company's historical financial performance. The first step in this Equity Research involves making an overview of the history of the company, its business segments and the governance structure of GD. Part of this initial analysis is analyzing the industry in which it operates as well as understanding the current economic environment and how it will affect the company's financial performance in the future. The second part of this report consists of an analysis to reach GD's price target at the end of 2021. In such analysis, four different models were applied: the Discounted Cash Flow model, the Discounted Dividend Model, the Adjusted Present Value model and a Multiples Valuation model. Of the approaches just mentioned, the Discounted Cash Flow method is the main model on which this recommendation is been based on. This model yields a price target of $168,75 per share for 2021YE, implying a 12,3% upside potential, resulting in a hold recommendation. This valuation and consequent recommendation is supported by the other three valuation models, which yield similar price targets. However, it needs to be noted the medium risk intrinsic to this recommendation.

Full textAbstract:
In the past, people distinguished a good firm from other ones by seeing whether it could generate a large amount of profit. Thus, in order to maximize profit, some unethical firms put their interests first without caring about the bad effect they made on the environment and society. Today, people are more and more concerned about the responsibility to maintain the sustainability of our social environment. Many companies have also set a new goal to become a "good company" instead of just a "good marketer," which means they should not only make profit, but also use their business power to solve social and environmental problems. Thankfully, the Benefit Corporation was founded to establish a better way to do business by creating transparent ethical standards for companies to follow. Every year, B lab, a nonprofit organization that works behind the Benefit Corporation, selects the top 10% of certified companies and gives them opportunities to improve as members of the Benefit Corporation. So far, the Benefit Corporation has 503 members in the United States and Canada with total $2.21 billion revenue. In my honors thesis, I will first present a literature review on the background of the Benefit Corporation. After that, I will present case studies on three members of the Benefit Corporation from different industrial areas. By comparing the research results among the three, I will analyze their similarities and differences, and predict the future development trend of the Benefit Corporation.

Full textAbstract:
We seem to hold corporations to an impossible standard. We call for profit maximization, but at the same time want to place strict limits on the methods corporations may use to obtain them. In this thesis, I explore two popular theories of the corporation: stakeholder theory and shareholder theory. I examine the degree to which each theory explains the corporation as it exists today, as defined in the law and through its behavior, but also the theories‘ normative appeal. I conclude by positing what I find to be the best normative account of the corporation: a theory of how we should structure the corporation in the United States so it is the most morally-defensible.

A história produziu formas hegemônicas e hegemonizadas de circulação, com base em técnicas que se sucederam e se agregaram em períodos marcados pelo desenvolvimento do par transporte – telecomunicação. Durante a globalização ocorreu a emergência de formas híbridas e fusionadas de circulação (corporativas), que se traduzem no paradigma logístico e telemático. Este paradigma da circulação também depende dos tradicionais sistemas de movimento e das tecnologias da informação e das comunicações, no entanto, a sua maior especificidade é a coordenação racional dos fluxos de mercadorias. Com o aprofundamento da divisão internacional do trabalho o comércio se complexificou, demandando logísticas territoriais das firmas como componentes estratégicas da circulação corporativa.

Full textAbstract:
The primary objective of this dissertation is to determine the factors that have shaped the corporate financial reporting practices in Bahrain. Prior researchers have offered two explanations, environmental factors and cultural importation, for the emergence of financial reporting practices in developing countries. The environmental explanation suggests that a nation's financial reporting practices will be shaped by its socioeconomic structure. The cultural importation explanation states that the desire for international legitimacy creates incentives for developing nation to adopt Western financial reporting practices. Bahrain provided an excellent environment in which to examine the two explanations since its public and closed corporations have similar economic characteristics. Only public corporations are legally required to publish financial reports. I posited that public corporations would try to gain legitimacy for their published reports by adopting Western standards, while closed corporations would not have a similar incentive. I used an interpretive framework to analyze the Bahrain socioeconomic environment and to examine the general financial reporting practices of Bahraini corporations. I found that closed corporations provided data responsive to the Bahraini environment. Public corporations, however, adopted International Accounting Standards. My analysis supported prior researchers7 findings that colonialism, the need for international legitimacy, and international audit firms were important factors in gaining acceptance for Western accounting practices. The adoption of Western financial reporting practices may be dysfunctional to a developing nation like Bahrain if these practices do not provide relevant information about corporate performance. Therefore, Bahrain, as well as other developing countries, needs to proceed cautiously before adopting Western corporate reporting practices.

Full textAbstract:
Culture has covered several areas which related to human beings’ life, it was manifested in process of doing, value judge, communication manners, education issues, historical events, economic situation and so on in communities. So, the culture would impact the operation ways of a corporation. Through the prevalent theory of Hofstede’s culture division, we understood that Chinese culture has its characteristics which could be portrayed as long power distance, collectivism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance and long-term orientation. The Chinese enterprise has long been the epitome of the massive collective, where employees usually treated their organization as their family. Additionally, these large organizations and government related enterprises had a multitude of standardized procedures and regulations, numerous managerial levels, and promotions based on knowledge of and obedience to these procedures and policies, exemplifying the hierarchy culture (A.Ralson, Jane, H. Terpstra, Wang, C.Egri, 2006). And this study, we will review some literatures at first sector and get comprehensive insight of Chinese corporate culture, and discuss the relationship between corporate culture and innovation capability through interview with some corporations’ leaders in second sector. Through this work, we are trying to provide some successful experiences to Chinese corporations.文化反映在人类生活中的很多方面，诸如做事情方式，沟通的礼节，教育，历史事件，经济状况等等方面。在很大方面，一个国家的文化会影响到企业的经营方式。通过当前比较流行的霍夫特德的文化区分理论，我们了解到中国的文化特点体现为比较长的权利距离，集体主义倾向，更男性化，强调风险规避以及考虑长期目标。因此，中国的企业也长期处在中国文化的影响中，表现起来就是中国的企业更强调集体文化，以及把企业当作家的思想。企业中存在许多的规章制度以及等级观念，员工的晋升与个人的成就和服从相关联。通过这篇文章，我们在一系列文献整理的基础上，更好的了解中国文化和中国企业文化，并进而讨论文化与创新之间的联系。并且最后我们将举出一些取得成功的中国本土企业的例子，并探讨他们成功的经验。

Full textAbstract:
My dissertation explores the history, pedagogy, and practice of peer review in academia and in the workplace, so that I could suggest strategies for improving peer review in the contemporary corporation. Several scholars have studied collaborative writing—of which peer review is just one type—but few have specifically and thoroughly treated the subject of peer review. I surveyed the technical writers in my organization as well as other local writers about their thoughts on peer review. For improving peer review in the workplace, two predominant themes emerged: improve the corporate culture and assign a manager to the process. Therefore, I explore how to create a sense of community in the organization, and I propose a leader of the peer review process—the technical editor. My final chapter discusses the pedagogical implications of my study, and includes suggestions for preparing technical communication students (i.e., technicaleditors) for such a leadership role in the workplace.

Competition in the business world is becoming harsher as markets shrink due to the financial crisis of the late 2000s. Firms have to leverage their core competencies to survive by attracting more customers and attaining more efficient operations. In such circumstances, diversified corporations that run multiple businesses have opportunities to differentiate themselves by implementing horizontal strategies. Unfortunately, a horizontal strategy never happens spontaneously. There must be strong control and solid process to realize synergy. Furthermore, there are no generalized or standardized methods for developing and implementing a horizontal strategy. Executing this kind of corporate strategy is very difficult in the real world. However, if the firm could establish a solid infrastructure to implement a horizontal strategy, it would be a sustainable competitive advantage that could not be easily imitated. In fact, there are many firms that enjoy synergy by implementing a horizontal strategy using various approaches. They differentiate their products and services, reduce operating costs, attract and involve customers, and create high barriers to prevent invasion by rivals. A horizontal strategy is a powerful business tool that enhances a firm's capabilities and increases its corporate value. In this thesis, I will investigate several historical theories of horizontal strategy and attempt to integrate their core concepts. I will examine four actual diversified corporations to determine how they utilize their horizontal strategy, while also identifying their critical driving forces and challenges. Then I will propose a practical process for creating and implementing a horizontal strategy. In my proposal, I will also recommend appropriate evaluation system and strong leadership because the lack of them frequently results in failure.

Full textAbstract:
El objetivo del presente Plan Estratégico Asignado (PEA) es formular las estrategias que
conducirán a Southern Peru Copper Corporation a alcanzar la visión trazada de cara al año 2030,
contemplando la importancia de su implementación y control, y teniendo como ejes principales a
los análisis externo e interno y el análisis de competitividad de la compañía, los cuales generan
los insumos más valiosos del proceso. El modelo secuencial e iterativo de planeación estratégica
formulado por Fernando D´Alessio es el elegido para este propósito, que comienza por analizar
la situación actual de la organización para luego establecer una visión de la sucursal separada de
la de su matriz, identificando la situación deseada que se pretende alcanzar.
La evaluación externa considera el análisis de competitividad del Perú y sus relaciones
con el mundo, así como los diversos aspectos del macroentorno de la compañía, su industria y
competidores. Como resultado, surgen como oportunidades más relevantes el apoyo del actual
gobierno al desarrollo del cobre refinado en Perú y las condiciones favorables que se espera para
el cobre como protagonista de la renovación energética. Luego de la evaluación interna, que
busca descifrar las principales fortalezas y debilidades que presenta la compañía teniendo en
consideración la visión trazada, se desprenden las relaciones con comunidades y relaciones
públicas como principales obstáculos. Por otro lado la eficiencia operativa, la infraestructura
montada y el respaldo de Grupo México figuran como principales fortalezas.
Una vez desagregada la visión en objetivos de largo plazo y alineados estos a los
intereses organizacionales de la compañía, se efectúa el emparejamiento de oportunidades y
amenazas así como el de fortalezas y debilidades, buscando generar de forma intuitiva aquellas
estrategias que acerquen a la organización a su visión, atendiendo luego la necesidad de
planificar una buena implementación y control que garantice el éxitoThe objective of the following Strategic Plan is to formulate the strategies that will lead Southern Peru Copper Corporation to reach the company’s vision towards 2030, considering the importance of its implementation and control, and having as main axis the internal and external analysis, as well as the company’s competitive analysis, which will generate the most valuable inputs of this process. For this purpose, we chose the sequential and iterative strategic planning model formulated by Fernando D’Alessio, which begins with the analysis of the company’s current situation, followed by the definition of a vision related to a separate branch from the company’s matrix, which leads to the identification of the desired situation to be achieved. The external analysis considers Peru’s competitiveness evaluation and its relations with the rest of the world, as well as the diverse aspects of the company’s macro environment, its industry, and its competitors. As a result of this phase, the most relevant opportunities identified are the government’s support of refined copper manufacturing and the favorable conditions expected for copper as protagonist of energetic renovation. As a result of the internal evaluation that seeks to decipher the company’s main strengths and weaknesses in relation to its vision, we identified community and public relations as the main obstacles, while operational efficiency, installed operational capabilities and the backing of the Grupo Mexico as its main strengths. Once the vision has been split into long term goals and aligned with the company’s organizational interests, we paired opportunities and threats as well as strengths and weaknesses, seeking to intuitively generate those strategies that will bring the organization closer to its vision, later tending to the need of planning an adequate implementation and control that guarantees success, considering key aspects such as organizational structure and the definition of a set of short term objectives that will facilitate resource allocation

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of financial reporting is to provide information that is useful for decision making. Recently, however, there has been a systematic decline in the usefulness of such information. Indeed, the current reporting model seems to be no longer sufficient mainly due to the fact that it ignores many of the nonfinancial intangible factors which are increasingly becoming important in determining corporate value and performance. That is, there is a need for the traditional reporting model to be modified or at least broadened to reflect Intangible Assets (IA) in order to enhance the usefulness of information being provided to different stakeholders. In the absence of mandatory reporting requirements, one alternative way of disseminating information regarding IA is to engage in voluntary disclosure practices. It has also been suggested that companies which would benefit the most from such practice are those originating from emerging economies looking to expand into international markets. While there exists an array of empirical studies which have examined the voluntary disclosure practices of corporations from developed economies, less considered are the reporting practices of emerging market companies regarding their IA. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the voluntary disclosure practices of the top 200 emerging market companies regarding the variety, nature and extent of IA and to consider some of the factors that may be associated with the level of such disclosure. Using a disclosure index based on the Value Chain Scoreboard??? (Lev, 2001), narrative sections of the 2002 annual reports of the top 200 emerging market companies are analysed. The findings indicate that emerging market companies engage in voluntary disclosure practices in order to disseminate different varieties of mainly quantitative IA information to their global stakeholders. Further, the variety and the extent of IA disclosure are associated with corporate specific factors such as leverage, adoption of IFRS/US GAAP, industry type, and price to book ratio. Contrary to the existing literature on voluntary disclosure, however, firm size and ownership concentration are not found to be associated with the IA disclosure level. Country specific factors such as the level of risks associated with economic policy and legal system are also found to be significantly associated with the IA voluntary disclosure level.

The explosive demand of smart phones and tablet PCs led to substantial growth of equipments of 28nm process. Even the biggest foundry manufacturer is not 100% meeting the orders and an emergency expansion of 28nm production line is needed. In anticipation of a huge market in the next few years, manufactures are ready to import the 20nm process at an early stage. In the semiconductor industry, the most critical factor of component scale is the quality of the process equipments. Manufacturer who owns the most advanced process equipments and process environment will be at an invincible position. The most critical equipment in the semiconductor process equipments is lithography equipment. The development of lithography equipment affects the development of semiconductor equipment industry, as well as the semiconductor industry. However, the impact of such critical industry equipment is supposed to be a highly competitive market, but as the line width of the semiconductor manufacturing process decreases, the equipments require greater precision and this limits the number of manufacturers entering the market. In recent years, European company, ASML, almost monopolized the market, while ASML only specializes in lithography equipment, how did ASML become the top three suppliers of semiconductor equipment, and what values do ASML bring to the down-stream semiconductor manufacturers, which enables them to lead the semiconductor equipment market？ Through the relevant literature and industry analysis, the present study hopes to discuss how ASML maintained its competitive advantages through cooperation with global foundries and upstream suppliers. The results of study show that the technology of process has become the source of industry competition. Equipment manufacturers need to cooperate with semiconductor manufacturers in order to break the limitations of this physical condition, and co-develop the next-generation equipment. To be able to create quality products more efficiently, system vendors let the suppliers manufacture the majority of the components, while themselves responsible for the assembling and quality testing. In order to ensure high product quality, system vendors establish a review mechanism on the suppliers. At the same time, system vendors will also provide suppliers with the assistance and cooperation needed to maintain their competitiveness, thus creating sustainable common interests.

The purpose of this thesis is to identify the strategy of corporation spin off. There are a lot of articles and books to discuss the issues about mergers and acquisitions to help corporation to develop and grow rapidly. Based on the past experiences, fewer cases succeed in mergers and acquisitions. Some reasons come from the improper resources allocation. It does not balance the resources and corporation growth strategy. Eventually, there are not any companies that have boundless resources to expand its business size. To some extent, it has to make some reasonable and effective resource planning. This research makes efforts to deliberate Eaton’s case - the process, impact and result to the corporation, employees and shareholders. How the corporation to take and give is to congregate its core competence business units to face its challenge in the future. This study uses Eaton Corporation semiconductor equipment operation as the case of this thesis and to identify the corporation strategy — Spin Off. It is not only that its success of spinning off its semiconductor equipment operation but also it prove itself good performance of multiplying its business while it rewards its shareholders with over 18% high returns on equity for the last decade. This thesis mainly comprises two concepts: I, The Impact of Merger and Acquisition Vs Divestiture and Spin-off to corporation growth. II. The Role of Spin-off Strategy to Corporation Development and focus. In chapter 1, introduce the Eaton Corporation’s overall business activities, what its mission and value. Chapter 2 discusses some related articles and researches of mergers, acquisitions, and divestiture. These strategies strengthen corporation core business and let the corporation become more competitive. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 explain Eaton Corporation long-term development strategies, how it pursued its interest through various strategies, the process of spin-off and the result analysis, the influences to the corporation finance, operation, employees and shareholders. Chapter 5 explains what spin-off and why to spin off.

The purpose of this research is through the case study to figure out what the management strategies of multinational engineering consultant corporation in the global markets in the changing world. In year 2002, Taiwan became a member of WTO (World Trade Organization) and in year 2010, we signed ECFA (Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement) with China. These reveal that regional economic integration has become a trend. If Taiwan cannot sign FTAs (Free Trade Agreements) with its main trading partners, it will be marginalized from the trade markets, and meanwhile, losing capability in global markets both in goods or services. With the newly technology and innovative technique, the scale of engineering service became larger and larger. The design and construction contract were separated in the past, but now, both of them are substituted into Turn-key or EPC（Engineering、Procurement and Construction）. Government prefers to adopt BOT and BOO to cooperate with non-government organizations. Consequently, Turn-key engineering is now the trend for nation development. This study uses the point of engineering industry analysis and strategy management to research the core ability of engineering industry. Through the interview to analyze the management strategies of multinational engineering consulting corporations. Furthermore, to analyze the detail data and information from the interview by SWOT analysis, five forces analysis and value chain analysis to evaluate the operation strategies in global markets, especially in China. The conclusion of the research is the multinational engineering consulting corporations can rely on the strength of experiences to endeavor the Turn-key or BOT contracts. And moreover, it can take the advantage of existing process patents and the chance of domestic contracts to accelerate enterprise reformation as a primary contractor. While grasping the opportunity to cooperate with international enterprises and learn the management ability from them, extend the services to high productive industries by resource leverage to get promotion. Base on the foregoing advantages, the corporation can integrate management and technique abilities to raise the business achievement.

Full textAbstract:
This Thesis extends Sir Isaiah Berlin’s ‘value pluralism’
to argue that the for-profit corporation functions as a powerful,
constructed ethical agent. While the prevailing view is that
corporate decision-making allows for the balancing of a range of
different, potentially competing interests, this Thesis argues
that the corporation’s ethical agency is structured around a
single, unifying value, namely, the corporation’s own financial
self-interest. On this view, the corporation’s decision-making
is constrained: it is incapable of a) conceiving of the world in
anything other than financial terms or b) other-regarding
behaviour of any kind. The pervasive financial self-interest
evident in the corporation’s constructed ethical agency helps
to explain both the remarkable success of the corporate form, and
its pronounced anti-social tendencies.
This Thesis argues for a reconfiguration of the corporation, and
with it, corporate ethical agency. In particular, it argues that
the nature and scope of corporate influence necessitates imbuing
the corporation with more ‘pluralist’ sensibilities. Not only
should the corporation be capable of balancing a range of
different interests in its decision-making, it should be capable
of subordinating its own interests to those of the broader
community where appropriate. Using Berlin’s value pluralism as
a guide, this Thesis proposes a suite of law reforms aimed at
facilitating contextualised, flexible, and other-regarding
decision-making on the part of the corporation. These proposed
reforms are:
– replacing the existing duty to act ‘bona fide and the best
interests of the corporation’ with a new duty to ‘sustain the
business of the corporation as a going concern’;
– providing a statutory definition of ‘proper purpose’ with
a view to both expanding the concept, and ensuring that it
functions as the ‘lodestar’ for directorial decision-making.
With respect to the proposed expansion, the concept of proper
purpose should be made to include a good faith requirement, and
should also allow directors to address legitimate social and
environmental issues;
– providing express statutory permission for corporations to
engage in profit-sacrificing behaviour;
– mandating integrated reporting mechanisms for corporations,
with a view to using the data collected to inform the development
of a ratings system for corporate conduct; and
– legislating for advisory shareholder resolutions.

The apparel industry was in an important position in Taiwan’s industry development. According to the changes with market environment, the apparel industry in Taiwan lose it’s competitiveness, the advantages in marketing of America and Europe’s brand owners are still exist. In this case, the industrial upgrading is the most important issue in Taiwan’s apparel industry. The apparel corporations must find out their core competitiveness truly is. The research uses the Makalot Industrial Corporation for example. The research found that the unexpectedly impact event will start a corporation to upgrading. The first time the unexpectedly event happened to Makalot was in 1996, Makalot got the order from Wal-Mart which was over Makalot’s capacity. After finished the order, Makalot learned how to deal with a big brand owner and how to management a big order, and also understood Makalot need to set its core competence as production elasticity. Makalot used several ways to increase its production elasticity such as：Reduced its fixed assets, separated one sale department to 7 sale groups, to set up a design department, led-in the ERP systems…esc. Those strategies made Makalot’s sales amount to grown up a lot, and also made Makalot become a corporation with plurality brand owners and plurality production areas. The second time the unexpectedly event happened to Makalot was in 2005, the world apparel purchase limit was called off in 2005. Makalot need to reconducted its production capacity set up and to creative Makalot’s another profit curve such as brand creative. This report also found that the unexpectedly event conducted Makalot’s knowledge transform and the knowledge transform conducted Makalot’s upgrading. The corporation need to automatic face the challenge and find out its weakness earlier, use the upgrading strategy to improve its core competence, the corporation could survive after several times market environment variation.

Studies usually focus on the mechanism of corporate governance and its effect on corporate performance. This study intends to link corporate governance and its effect on financial crisis, we discuss: 1. Will the probability of financial crisis reduced by performing effective corporate governance? 2. Whether corporate governance can be a predicting factor of financial crisis? The sample includes all listed (OTC) companies but excludes financial / securities industry due to their characteristic. The empirical evidence is collected from 2003 to 2010, showing that: First, low proportion of independent directors and supervisors, large board size, high ratio of directors and supervisors'' pledging shares, high right diverges from duty of pledging directors and supervisors'' shares, low extent of information disclosure, less rigorous of the electing of external auditor, may increase the probability for corporation to fall into financial crisis within three years. Second, the general manager''s shareholding ratio has intervention effect in the relationship between the duality identities of general manager/director to financial crisis. Third, through sensitivity analysis, we found: 1. There is an inverted U-shaped relation between board''s activity and financial crisis. 2. If the duality identities of general manager/director exit, the probability of financial crisis will be reduced through increasing shareholding rate of the general manager. 3. This research identified three common corporate governance variables, such as the low proportion of independent directors and supervisors, high right diverges from duty of pledging directors and supervisors'' shares, and less rigorous of the electing of external auditor can be signals of corporate financial crises.

ABSTRACT A Study on Privatization of National Corporations—Taking Taiwan Railway Freight Corporation for instance Page: 66 Student: Hsieh Hsien-Tsung Advisor: Professor Yeh Kuang-Shih, Ph. D Privatization of national corporations represents an effort to swim with the tide of internationalization and liberalization. Taiwan Railway Freight Corporation, incorporated in 1946, gets 80.12% of its shares invested by Taiwan Provincial Government and 19.88% by non-government forwarders. It mainly engages in rail vehicle cleaning and rail cargo handling. As scheduled by Executive Yuan (the Cabinet), it must get privatized by December 2002. But if it fails to tackle bottlenecks under the “Government Procurement Law” to continually obtain the job contracts, it runs into risk of being shut down, let alone privatization. The Study first looks into national corporations and privatization by definition, ways of privatization, cases of successfully completed privatization cases, keys to the success. Next, it would look into financial and managerial aspects to look into the Cargo Forwarding Corporation (TRF) to analyze the niches and shortcomings by means of SWOT analysis, external chances and threats. The study will further look into the difficulties confronting privatization to work out feasible ways of privatization, including one preferential choice and four alternatives. The comparison with the niches and shortcomings in privatization yields the findings privatization would not help improve market structure at all if fulfilled by means of merger, asset auction, dissolution, liquidation or share sales. While its assets are insufficient to pay seniority pay to employees, shareholders and employees are bound to backfire. The study would, therefore, propose that takeover by employees to set up a new corporation must be more feasible. TRF must face tough challenges in privatization. The “Government Procurement Law” restriction makes profitability low and the prospects dim. Employees’ rights to work and costs to be incurred in the process of privatization must be urgent tasks to be solved. It is proposed that the government, first of all, coordinate with competent authorities concerned to overcome the bottlenecks in “Government Procurement Law” and problems to pay off employees. In the premise of assuring employees’ right to work, potential backfire from shareholders and employees should be able to get minimized to have it successfully privatized to attain the goal of perpetuity up to happy win-win strategy to the government, enterprises and employees. The study aims at TRF and yields conclusions applicable to TRF only. About further politic proposals regarding problems which must be solved beforehand, the future scholars are required to take in-depth probe into the model of management, performance, staff values, transformation in concepts and interests..
