本研究就台灣上市母子公司之現金增資發行與新股發行海外存託憑證進行事件研究與發行個體的選擇研究，是否在母子公司的架構下因為發行個體的選擇會為公司帶來不同的宣告效果影響，進而提升公司籌資彈性。 在事件研究上，宣告發行新股對發行公司而言在發行公司為母公司時有負向的效果，子公司則可能因為成長機會存在而不顯著為正；對非發行公司而言，則無顯著價格效果存在，可見宣告效果僅存在於發行公司。與國外Vijh (2006)的實證研究結果相符。但母子公司架構下，母公司的管理階層仍有就發行個體作選擇。管理階層傾向選擇前期股價高估程度較高之公司進行新股發行；在子公司有資金缺口時傾向以子公司作為發行個體，然而在母公司有資金缺口時則不一定選擇以母公司為發行個體，可能因子公司通常為成長型公司，此時選擇以子公司發行對子公司股價影響程度較低。 / This study examines if parent-subsidiary structure is capable of enhancing a company’s financial flexibility by influencing the announcement effects of issuing SEOs and DRs in Taiwan. The event studies under the parent-subsidiary structure in Taiwanese companies show that: 1) When issuing companies are the parent company, issuing companies have negative announcement effect. 2) When issuing companies are the subsidiary company, issuing companies have non-significant positive effect, probably due to high growth potential of subsidiaries. 3) For non-issuing companies under parent-subsidiary structure, the evidence shows that there are no significant effects. Yet under parent-subsidiary structure, the executives do choose the issuing entity between parent and subsidiaries. Executives lean to choose more overvalue entity as issuing companies. And choose subsidiary to issue stocks when subsidiary do have positive deficit. But when parent company has deficit executives are not significantly choosing parent company to issue stock. This may be due to the reason that subsidiaries are usually with higher growth potential and result in less announcement effect on the stock price.

本文探討我國金控公司在不同子公司組合以及考量雙引擎策略下，對各種績效指標以及風險指標影響。資料取樣我國2002年至2013年間15家金控公司之季度資料，在考量過去關於金融機構及金控公司多角化經營與子公司組合有關文獻後，選取適當控制變數搭配「以銀行搭配壽險為主」之虛擬變數進行分析，並以虛擬變數及三種集中率進行穩健度測試及並觀察不同面向影響；接著於雙引擎分析當中，試圖發展用於測量雙引擎策略程度之兩種平衡率變數，並且考量交叉項的效果，分別加入模型中進行分析分析。研究結果分為複迴歸、追蹤資料模型，以及關於落後一期自變數對當期應變數之延伸分析。 　　在複迴歸及追蹤資料模型進行橫斷面及縱斷面之實證研究結果指出，金控投入的資源越分散(資產多角化程度越高)或是越集中(集中率越高)皆未能顯著提昇金控績效或降低風險；然而若考慮雙引擎策略時，則能顯著提昇EPS、P/B Ratio或RBC，同時，不論資產面或營收面建立的平衡率變數，皆可觀察出金控旗下兩大子公司在收益傾向越相等的情況下，具顯著改善金控整體獲利能力、投資人評價或是降低破產風險的情況。 　　本研究對於各個金控公司前一期的自變數對當期應變數進行延伸分析，實證結果支持了本研究對於投入到產出存在時間落差的假設，亦即以資產平衡率而言，較屬於以資源「投入」概念觀察雙引擎策略程度，因此需要隔一段時間才能展現對於績效與風險的影響；而收益平衡率則偏向以當期「產出」的概念觀察雙引擎變數，此時用於衡量下一期之績效指標將會傾向不顯著，但對於風險方面則傾向能夠顯著降低破產風險。 / This study investigates the relationship of different subsidiary combination and dual-engine strategies on financial holding companies’ performance and risk. Using quarterly data for 15financial holding companies（FHCs）in the R.O.C for the period 2002Q1–2013Q4 and controlling for the size, size growth, equity ratio and diversification. In order to analysis the issue, we choose “the top-two subsidiaries are bank and life insurance” as a dummy variables, asset and revenue balance ratio as dual-engine variables. Also, the paper introduces several relevant variables to implement the robust tests. These relevant variables are “the FHC has subsidiary of life insurance”, three concentration ratios and two interaction variables. Our empirical finding can be divided into three parts: multiple regression, panel data and one-period lagged data analysis. 　　In multiple regression and panel data, we find evidence that both higher diversification and concentration in subsidiary resource have an ambiguities relation for the performance and risk of financial holding companies. However, considering dual-engine strategies can significantly improve the EPS, P/B Ratio and RBC in empirical results. Also, both asset and revenue balance ratios have significant effect to improve the earning power, the valuation of investors and the insolvency risk. 　　This paper also use the one time lagged data to conduct the extension study. The findings support the assumption of ours that FHCs exist time-lag between input and output. The asset balance ratio is more like the input concept and the revenue balance ratio is rather more like the output concept when we discuss the dual-engine strategies. In other words, there need more time to show the impact of performance and risk indicators when we use the asset balance ratio. However, output variable has insignificant relation to the performance indicators and significant effect to the risk indicator when we use the revenue balance ratio.

This study extends research on pricing methods of Multinational Corporation (MNC) from the financial aspect to managerial perspective, creates the term managerial mechanisms and examines theories with actual organizational changes applied by the case company, the leading IPC provider, Company A. In this research, the researcher first identifies determinants of E2E pricing (market pricing), then defines the five components (organizational structure, information sharing, coordination mechanisms, management control system, and authority delegation) and lists elements within each component to form the managerial mechanism model between HQ-Subsidiary as the reference to align with market price determinants. With the degree of centralization being the core of the model, the analysis shows that information sharing between HQ-Subsidiary is the key to a successful E2E pricing decision; to do so an MNC has to have an organizational goal in parallel with subsidiary interests, and proper authority delegation while exerting control and coordination with flexibility. This research presents that organizational changes made by Company A in coordination with E2E pricing method do follow the managerial mechanism model proposed by the researcher. Specifically, the analysis first describes the pricing method and managerial mechanisms of the case company; second, managerial issues are recognized and linked with the model developed by the researcher; finally, corresponding changes Company A made are examined by literature theories. This research also reveals that the application of proper measures is simply the initiative of organizational changes; an MNC has to anticipate internal reluctance in order to carry out the optimal result of its managerial mechanisms.

L'objectif de cette thèse est d'étudier le rôle des processus sociaux de légitimation sous-jacents au développement local des filiales de firmes multinationales (FMN) dans des environnements lointains du siège. Notre thèse explore la façon dont les filiales tentent de modérer les pressions simultanées issues de leur environnement d'accueil et de leur environnement organisationnel. À partir d'un cadre théorique institutionnaliste fondé sur une littérature pluridisciplinaire. nous étudions la nature des processus de légitimation de huit filiales de banques étrangères en Inde un contexte caractérisé par une forte «Liability of Foreignness» (i.e. LOF : handicap du fait d'être étranger). Nous identifions ensuite les pratiques organisationnelles mobilisées afin de réduire les tensions entre le «central» et le «local». Nos résultats suggèrent que les stratégies de légitimation des filiales -passives (isomorphisme, transfert), réactive (lobbying politique) et proactive (rhétorique)- varient avec le degré d'exposition à la LOF et l'intensité des pressions internes: certaines filiales recherchent un « ancrage local» prononcé tandis que d'autres filiales utilisent plutôt «l'ancrage mondial» en s'appuyant sur la légitimité du siège. Dans un second temps, la thèse développe une estimation de la performance organisationnelle d'une filiale de FMN, en lien avec son processus de légitimation dans l'environnement d'accueil. Les résultats suggèrent qu’un niveau« d'ancrage local» élevé est associé positivement à la performance externe de la filiale et négativement à sa performance interne, ce qui conduit la filiale et le siège à opérer des arbitrages entre performance externe et interne. / The aim of this thesis is to study the role of social processes of legitimation underlying MNE subsidiaries' loci development in distant environments from the headquarters. Our thesis explores how subsidiaries attempt to mitigat simultaneous pressures from both their host and their organizational environments. Using an institutionalist theoretical framework based on a multidisciplinary literature, we investigate the nature of the legitimation processes for eight subsidiaries of foreign banks in India, a context characterized by a strong «Liability of Foreignness» (i.e. LOF). We the identify the organisational practices mobilised in order to decrease the «central/local» tensions. Our results suggest that subsidiaries' legitimation strategies -passive (isomorphism, transference), reactive (political lobbying) and proactive (rhetoric)- vary along with their degree of exposure to the LOF and according to the intensity of internal pressures the face: certain subsidiaries seek a deeper “local anchoring” while other subsidiaries rely more on a “world anchoring” benefitting from the headquarters' legitimacy. In a second development, this thesis sketches an estimate of the organisational performance of an MNE subsidiary in relation to its legitimation process in the host environment. Our results suggest that a higher level of local anchoring' is associated positively with a subsidiary's external performance and negatively with its internal performance. This leads the subsidiary and the headquarters to arbitrage between external and internal performance.

Nous étudions le rôle du progiciel de gestion intégré (l’ERP), comme outil de gestion des firmes multinationales, dans le suivi de la performance de la filiale par le siège. Nous avons opté pour un raisonnement hypothético-déductif exploitant les constats théoriques pour sortir des hypothèses que nous avons testées auprès de filiales installées au Maroc et dotées de solutions ERP. Nous avons observé les apports des ERP pour le suivi des types de performances des filiales dans le cadre d’une posture positiviste. Afin de mieux contextualiser et opérationnaliser les concepts de notre étude, nous nous sommes basés sur la complémentarité des approches qualitative/quantitative. Les résultats qualitatifs, générés de six entretiens semi-directifs auprès de responsables des filiales, nous ont permis de confirmer les items composant le questionnaire d’enquête, que nous avons soumis à 104 filiales, dans le cadre d’une étude quantitative. Bien que les filiales peuvent bénéficier d’une autonomie de gestion, les sièges appliquent leur pouvoir et imposent leur vision stratégique en intervenant dans l’exploitation de l’ERP. L’ERP agit sur la gestion de la relation siège-filiale en unifiant les données, en fluidifiant la coordination et la collaboration, en facilitant le contrôle du budget et le suivi des objectifs. Gain de temps, facilité d’utilisation, traçabilité, disponibilité et échange facile de données sont des qualités de l’ERP mises en avant. La qualité technique de l’ERP n’est pas totalement exploitée, vu l’adaptation difficile aux fonctionnalités de l’outil. Pour autant, afin de suivre la performance de leurs filiales, les sièges utilisent de manière assez importante les indicateurs financiers provenant de leur ERP pour le reporting concernant les fonctions vente, gestion des stocks et achat. En revanche, le suivi de la performance non financière est assez peu présent. / This study seeks to shed the light on the role of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) as a management tool adopted by multinational corporations in their monitoring of the headquarters/ subsidiary performance. We have opted for a deductive approach, focusing on multinational corporations whose subsidiaries are based in Morocco and which are endowed with the ERP tool. To meet this end, we have carried out both a qualitative and a quantitative study. Qualitatively, the six semi directive interviews conducted with the subsidiaries management fit in harmoniously with the items that figure in our questionnaire, submitted to 104 subsidiaries in the framework of a quantitative study. We have found out that even if subsidiaries benefit from autonomy as far as management is concerned, the headquarters still impose the strategic vision and intervene at how ERP must be implemented. Indeed, ERP acts positively on the headquarters/subsidiary relationship by rendering data even, making coordination fluid and facilitating budget control and goals follow- up. Other merits that the ERP tool offers include: time saving, ease of use, tracking, availability and easy data exchange. Nevertheless, ERP has not been fully utilized due to the difficulty of matching its features. Basically, head offices make use of ERP in evaluating financial performance, namely reporting sales and inventory management. Otherwise, it remains less operational.

[pt] Este trabalho tem como objetivo verificar como marcos históricos em ambientes metropolitanos podem ser referenciais para o ordenamento territorial de bairros, trazendo para a cena política dimensões simbólicas para a compreensão de novas funções urbanas. A partir da visão do Plano Diretor da cidade do Rio de Janeiro sobre a organização dos aspectos ambientais e culturais do território, analisaremos como o bairro do Flamengo se insere na divisão territorial chamada Macrozona Controlada. Nesse sentido, utilizaremos a legislação municipal como base para a percepção das políticas públicas relacionadas à cultura e ao meio ambiente na gestão local. Assim, pretendemos compreender como os espaços foram se refuncionalizando através dos tempos, que aspectos históricos, políticos e sociais se interrelacionam e produzem a logística atual, para que, dessa forma, possamos perceber como o zoneamento proposto se encaixa nos aspectos culturais e ambientais, de maneira corresponder melhor às potencialidades e necessidades existentes no local. Em nossa fundamentação teórica, os conceitos de paisagem, território e lugar serão trabalhados para enfatizar a relação do homem com seu espaço e as transformações advindas dessa relação. O território representado como uma construção por e a partir de relações de poder também pode ser contemplado na discussão da formação e organização das práticas dos atores na escala do bairro. Como processo metodológico, utilizaremos a análise bibliográfica de livros e documentos sobre a formação da cidade do Rio de Janeiro e sua expansão com processo de urbanização para as outras Zonas da metrópole carioca, além de idas a campo para a coleta de informações e de imagens, que serão realizadas pela pesquisadora. / [en] This work aims to verify how historical landmarks in metropolitan environments can be used as reference for the territorial planning of neighborhoods, bringing the symbolic dimensions to the political scene to better understand new urban functions. By using the point of view of the Master Plan of the city of Rio de Janeiro on the organization of the environmental and cultural aspects of the territory, we will analyze how the neighborhood of Flamengo is inserted in the territorial division called Macrozona Controlada. For this purpose, we will use municipal legislation as a basis for the perception of public policies related to culture and the environment in local management. Thus, we intend to understand how spaces have been reorganized through time, how historical, political and social aspects became interrelated and resulted in the current logistics, so that, in this way, we may see how the proposed zoning fits into the cultural and environmental aspects to meet potential needs. In our theoretical foundation, the concepts of landscape, territory and place will be worked out to emphasize the relation of man and his space as well as the transformations arising from this relationship. The territory represented as a construction by and from power relations can also be understood in the discussion about the formation and organization of human players activity in the neighborhood. As a methodological process, we will use the bibliographic analysis of books and documents concerning the formation of the city of Rio de Janeiro as well as its expansion and urbanization process to other zones of the Rio metropolis. Fieldwork to collect information and images will be carried out by the researcher.

Em um contexto de explicitação dos problemas ambientais e sociais que assolam o planeta, causando enormes disparidades entre países, as empresas, e mais fortemente as Multinacionais, se vêem diante da cobrança pela adoção de uma postura de responsabilidade ampliada, ou seja, de incorporação das 3 dimensões do desenvolvimento sustentável (econômica, social e ambiental) em suas estratégias. Esta responsabilização das empresas, traz à tona o problema da gestão dos trade offs envolvidos com estas 3 dimensões e, para as Multinacionais, a gestão destes trade offs na relação entre Matriz e suas Filiais. Tendo por objetivo, justamente, a proposição de um framework baseado em um conjunto de proposições para a concepção do processo de formação da estratégia de desenvolvimento sustentável, na relação entre Matriz e Filial, de Multinacionais, a presente pesquisa foi conduzida em 3 fases. Adotou-se uma postura epistemo-metodológica de concepção, aceitando a interação entre sujeito e objeto e a intencionalidade do sujeito/pesquisador ao longo da pesquisa, buscando-se explicitamente, a geração de conhecimento aplicável aos gestores dos Grupos estudados. Adotou-se também uma lógica abdutiva, ou seja, permitindo constantes “idas e vindas” entre teoria e campo empírico, na media que se avançava nas fases da pesquisa. Assim, na primeira fase buscou-se um aprofundamento teórico sobre Estratégia Empresarial, Desenvolvimento Sustentável e Teoria da Complexidade, visando dar suporte a pesquisa e a construção de um questionário com roteiro semi-estruturado, para ser aplicado junto a experts em desenvolvimento sustentável. Este roteiro foi aplicado na segunda fase da pesquisa, que tinha por objetivo a identificação de temáticas importantes a serem consideradas, em estratégias que levem em conta o desenvolvimento sustentável. Duas etapas foram desenvolvidas nesta segunda fase: na primeira etapa foram entrevistados 10 experts brasileiros, com os quais se co-concebeu 8 temáticas iniciais; na segunda etapa foram entrevistados 12 experts europeus, com os quais se procurou consolidar as temáticas iniciais, co-concebendo com os mesmos, 4 temáticas consolidadas (Relação com os Stakeholders, Governança Empresarial, Ética Empresarial e Aprendizagem Organizacional). Estas temáticas consolidadas serviram de base para a terceira fase, onde foram realizados 4 estudos de caso (Grupos A, B, C e D), em Grupos Multinacionais com a Matriz na França ou Luxemburgo e uma Filial no Brasil. A confrontação entre os estudos de caso, as entrevistas com os experts, o referencial teórico e a atitude inventiva do pesquisador possibilitaram a emergência de 7 proposições epistêmicas (estratégia de desenvolvimento sustentável vista a partir de princípios da teoria da complexidade, ou seja, dialógica, recursividade, retroativa, holograma e auto-eco-reorganização), 12 proposições conceituais (governança empresarial, ética empresarial, e aprendizagem organizacional) e 16 proposições operatórias (governança empresarial - estrutura da área de desenvolvimento sustentável e divisão de ganhos com os stakeholders; ética empresarial - conteúdo e fixação de objetivos e postura empresarial; aprendizagem organizacional - sensibilização e troca de informações sobre o desenvolvimento sustentável), que em conjunto formam o framework proposto aqui. Assim a presente pesquisa contribui com avanços epistemológicos e metodológicos para a área de Gestão, além de avanços teóricos para a estratégia empresarial (quando integrada com as discussões sobre desenvolvimento sustentável e teoria da complexidade), e de avanços para os Grupos Multinacionais, através do conjunto de proposições. / Considering the innumerous environmental and social problems which are devastating the world and increasing differences among countries, companies are demanded, more precisely Multinationals, to stand for a responsible posture, i.e. the incorporation of the 3 dimensions of sustainable development in their strategies (economical, social and environmental). This responsibility from the companies arises the problem of trade off management connected to the 3 dimensions, and for the Multinationals trade off management among the Headquarter and its Subsidiaries. This research was conducted in 3 phases aiming the proposition of a framework based on a set of propositions for the conception of a sustainable development strategy formation process in the relation between Multinational Headquarters and Subsidiaries. An epistemic-methodological positioning was adopted, accepting the interaction between subject (researcher) and object and the intentionality subject/researcher throughout the research, explicitly searching for the knowledge generation applicable to the managers from the studied Groups. It was also adopted an abductive logic, i.e. allowing regular “come and go” between the theory and the empirical field as the research advanced. Thus, in the first phase theoretical deepening about Company Strategy, Sustainable Development and Complexity Theory was intended, aiming to support the research and the construction of a semi-structured questionnaire in order to be applied to the sustainable development experts.This script was applied in the second phase of the research, which expected to identify some important thematics to be considered, within the strategies that take into account the sustainable development. Two steps were developed in this second phase: in the first phase 10 Brazilian experts were interviewed, where 8 initial thematics were co-conceived; in the second phase, 12 European experts were interviewed, where it was tried to consolidate the initial thematics and then co-conceiving 4 consolidated thematics (Stakeholders Relation, Enterprise Governance, Enterprise Ethics and Organizational Learning). These consolidated thematics were the basis of the third phase where 4 case studies were conducted (Groups A, B, C and D) with Multinational Groups having the Headquarter in France or Luxemburg and a Subsidiary in Brazil. The confrontation among the case studies, the expert interviews, the theoretical referential and the inventive attitude from the researcher made possible the emergence of 7 epistemic propositions (development of sustainable strategy from the complexity theory principles, which is dialogical, recursivity, retroactive, hologram and autoeco- reorganization), 12 conceptual propositions (Enterprise Governance, Enterprise Ethics and Organizational Learning) and 16 operational propositions (Enterprise Governance – the structure of the sustainable development area and the sharing of profit with stakeholders; Enterprise Ethics – objective content and fixation and enterprise position; Organizational Learning – consciousness and information exchange about sustainable development), which here compose the proposed framework. Thus the present research contributed with epistemological and methodological advanced for the area of Management, and also theoretical advances for the enterprise strategy field (when integrated with the discussion about sustainable development and complexity theory), and advances for Multinational Groups through a set of prepositions.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Fernando Monteiro - Fatores que dificultam a transferência do conhecimento em empresas multinacionais.pdf: 1303267 bytes, checksum: d5876a3fddc19ed42be63f8327b1ee41 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-11-28 / Objective - Despite the strategic importance of knowledge transferring in multinational companies, several barriers make it difficult to implement in practice, reducing the competitive advantage of the organization. This research seeks to study the barriers associated to the transferring of knowledge in an effective and sustainable way among the subsidiaries of a multinational company. Methodology - For the accomplishment of this work a bibliographical research was carried out in search of theoretical references regarding the barriers for the transfer of knowledge in multinational companies. Based on this theoretical framework, a qualitative field research has been done with the selection of interviewees through the non-probabilistic method of convenience. For the analysis of the qualitative research results, the content analysis method was used. Results - The content analysis of the research responses not only corroborated most of the barriers for knowledge transferring identified in the theoretical framework, but also revealed two new categories barriers emerging from the field research: Differences between Generations and Competencies of the Knowledge Multiplier. Limitations - This research was based on the qualitative method, which due to its nature, presents some limitations: it is not possible to generalize and the existence of bias of the interviewees. In addition, the qualitative research presents operational characteristics that result in a small number of sample units, whose criterion is described as recognizing the existence of intentionality. Applicability of work - The barriers to knowledge transferring described in this paper provide an understanding of this subject for managers to evaluate their current practices and identify the points of improvement in knowledge management activities. Originality - This research provided the opportunity to create the construct that correlates the 12 assumptions of barriers to knowledge transfer described in the strategy and management literature in five dimensions, in a logical and grounded manner. / Objetivo – Apesar da importância estratégica da transferência do conhecimento em empresas multinacionais, várias barreiras tornam difícil a sua implementação na prática, reduzindo a vantagem competitiva da organização. Esta pesquisa busca estudar as barreiras associadas à transferência do conhecimento de forma efetiva e sustentável entre as subsidiárias de uma empresa multinacional. Metodologia – Para a realização deste trabalho foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica em busca de referências teóricas a respeito das barreiras para a transferência de conhecimento em empresas multinacionais. Com base neste referencial teórico, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo qualitativa com a seleção de entrevistados através do método não probabilístico por conveniência. Para a análise dos resultados da pesquisa qualitativa foi utilizado o método de análise de conteúdo. Resultados – A análise de conteúdo das respostas da pesquisa não só corroborou a maioria das barreiras para a transferência do conhecimento identificadas no referencial teórico, como também revelou duas novas categorias de barreiras emergentes da pesquisa de campo: Diferenças entre Gerações e Competências do Multiplicador do Conhecimento. Limitações – Esta pesquisa teve como base o método qualitativo, que, por sua própria natureza, apresenta algumas limitações: não é possível a sua generalização e a existência viés dos entrevistados. Além disto, a pesquisa qualitativa apresenta características operacionais que resultam em um número pequeno de unidades de amostra, cujo critério é descrito como reconhecendo a existência de intencionalidade. Aplicabilidade do trabalho – As barreiras para a transferência do conhecimento descritas neste trabalho proporcionam a compreensão deste assunto para os gestores avaliarem as suas práticas atuais e identificarem os pontos de melhoria nas atividades de gestão do conhecimento. Originalidade – Esta pesquisa proporcionou a oportunidade da criação do constructo que correlaciona os 12 pressupostos de barreiras para a transferência de conhecimento descritas na literatura sobre estratégia e gestão em cinco dimensões, de forma lógica e fundamentada.

Esta dissertação estuda os mecanismos disponibilizados pelo artigo 264 da Lei das Sociedades Anônimas para proteção adicional dos interesses e dos direitos dos acionistas minoritários na incorporação de companhia controlada. Para tanto, são abordados os dispositivos legais, os posicionamentos doutrinários e as interpretações da jurisprudência administrativa e judicial sobre o assunto no Brasil. O primeiro capítulo do estudo analisa o conceito e a natureza jurídica da incorporação, a substituição de ações e de direitos dos acionistas na operação, o procedimento de incorporação, e a relação de controle existente entre as companhias incorporadora e incorporada. O segundo capítulo analisa a evolução histórica das disposições do artigo 264, partindo do Projeto de Lei que lhe deu origem até o texto do dispositivo atualmente vigente. O terceiro capítulo analisa a proteção adicional oferecida ao acionista minoritário pelo caput do artigo 264, atrelada à relação de substituição de ações adotada na operação. O quarto capítulo analisa a proteção adicional conferida ao acionista minoritário pelo §3º do artigo 264, vinculada ao direito de recesso na operação. Ao final, a conclusão arremata as principais discussões identificadas ao longo do estudo. / This thesis studies the mechanisms provided by Article 264 of the Brazilian Corporations Law for additional protection of the interests and rights of minority shareholders in the merger of a subsidiary corporation into its parent corporation. To this end, we discuss the legal provisions, the legal literature and the interpretations of administrative and judicial case law on the subject in Brazil. The first chapter of the study analyzes the concept and the legal nature of a merger, the substitution of shares and rights of the shareholders in the transaction, the merger procedure, and the control relationship that exists between the parent corporation and its subsidiary. The second chapter analyzes the historical development of the provisions of Article 264, from the bill from which it originated to the text of the provision currently in force. The third chapter analyzes the additional protection granted to minority shareholders by the chapeau of Article 264, regarding the share exchange ratio adopted in the transaction. The fourth chapter analyzes the additional protection afforded to minority shareholders by paragraph 3 of Article 264, relating to the right to withdraw from the transaction. Finally, the conclusion finalizes the main discussions identified throughout the study.

Thus the present research contributed with epistemological and methodological advanced for the area of Management, and also theoretical advances for the enterprise strategy field (when integrated with the discussion about sustainable development and complexity theory), and advances for Multinational Groups through a set of prepositions.
