Esta dissertação tem o objetivo de investigar problemas que podem comprometer o sucesso deste modelo partindo de alguma hipóteses levantadas pelo autor com base em sua observações e vivência profissional. Para atender ao objetivo deste trabalho, foi realizada uma revisão da literatura sobre os temas estratégia e relação matriz-subsidiária, a fim de compreender os diferentes fatores que influenciam os papéis desempenhados pelas subsidiárias com relação às matrizes. Estes temas foram selecionados em virtude das revelações do campo. Com base neste referencial teórico, foram selecionadas algumas tipologias como critério de análise para a investigação empírica das práticas na empresa selecionada. A metodologia utilizada engloba um estudo de caso único. É feita uma análise dos resultados encontrados na pesquisa baseando-se no referencial teórico selecionado na tipologia. Com base no caso estudado, é possível afirmar que a relação matriz-subsidiária impacta diretamente no sucesso deste modelo em empresas multinacionais. / The implementation and expansion of the operational model of 'shared services' occupies a prominent place in the current strategy of many multinational companies, which demonstrates the value and success of this model which is presented as a mechanism for reducing waste and increasing efficiency and effectiveness in the execution of organizational activities. This dissertation aims to investigate problems that could jeopardize the success of this model starting from some hypothesis raised by the author based on his observations and professional experience. To meet the objective of this study, a literature review on and strategy and subsidiary-headquarter relationship was performed in order to understand the different factors that influence the roles played by subsidiaries with respect to the central office. These topics were selected because of the revelations of the field research. From this theoretical framework, some typologies have been selected as criteria for analysis to the empirical investigation of the practices in the selected company. The methodology covers a single case study. Finally, an analysis of the results found in front of the theoretical framework on selected typologies. Based on the analysis, it can be confirmed that the headquarters - subsidiary relationship directly impacts the success of this model in multinational companies.

No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 5212844 bytes, checksum: efddf9bcdcb63911cfa9f9ef65eb4720 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2004-09-13 / The present work delineates the preponderant lines of the responsibility for work budgets for occasion of not execution of the contract or illicitness in the relationships in the ambits private and public. Initially it is about studying the phenomenon tertiary inserted in the globalization, checking that the tertiary practices are instruments of fiexibilization of the work relationships, by virtue of the increase of the international competitiveness and of the consequent search of reduction of costs for the companies. It was possible, to verify some foreign systems that identify the tertiary practices. It was verified, also, that many civil institutes and commercial in Brazil are tertiary manifestations with reflexes in the ambit of work, by virtue of the proximity among the contracts of labor tertiary and that of services and products. On the other hand, it was evidenced that from the Law 6.019/74, the legislator worried in attributing responsibility for work budgets to the receiver of services, but in a very restricted way. Later, the Statement 256/TST also enlarged such responsibility to the hypothesis of illicit tertiary practice, being reformed by the Statement 33 1/TST, that still extended more the responsibility for work budgets, reaching the licit tertiary practice, for the simple not greed of the boss, independently of recognition of the employment entail between worker and receiver of services or of the bankruptcy of the company vendor of services. In the public ambit, discusses that responsibility, because the Law 8.666/93 doesn't admit the responsibility, although the Resolution 96/00 of TST, extend it to the state entities. Finally, it can be concluded that the extension of the responsibility for work budgets in the tertiary relationships is a controversial question, by virtue the normative lack in disharmony with the intensity of the practical tertiary in the labor market, mainly with relationship to the state entities. / o presente trabalho delineia os traços preponderantes da responsabilidade por verbas trabalhistas por ocasião de inadimplência ou ilicitude nas relações terceirizadas nos âmbitos privado e publico. Inicialmente, trata de estudar o fenômeno da terceirização inserido no mundo globalizado, comprovando que as práticas terceirizantes são instrumentos de flexibilização das relações trabalhistas, em virtude do aumento da competitividade internacional e da consequente busca de redução de custos pelas empresas. Foi possível identificar alguns ordenamentos estrangeiros que focalizam as práticas de terceirização. Constatou-se, também, que muitos institutos civis e comerciais no Brasil são manifestações de terceirização com reflexos no meio laboral, dada a proximidade entre Os contratos de terceirização de mão-de-obra, e de serviços e produtos. Por outro lado, evidenciou-se que desde a Lei n° 6.019/74, o legislador se preocupou em atribuir responsabilidade por verbas trabalhistas ao tornador de serviços, mas de forma muito restrita. Mais tarde, o Enunciado 256/TST ampliou tal responsabilização também a hipótese de terceirização ilícita, sendo reformado pelo Enunciado 331/TST, que estendeu ainda mais a responsabilidade por verbas trabalhistas, alcançando, ate mesmo a terceirização licita, pelo simples inadimplemento do empregador originário, independentemente de reconhecimento do vinculo empregatício entre trabalhador e tornador de serviços ou da falência da fornecedora de mão-de-obra. No âmbito publico, discute-se ainda essa responsabilização, pois a Lei n° 8.666/93 não admite a responsabilidade, embora a Resolução n° 96/00 do TST, a estenda aos entes estatais. Por fim, pode-se concluir que a seara da responsabilidade por verbas trabalhistas nas relações de terceirização é muito controvertida, dada a carência normativa em descornpasso corn a intensificação das práticas terceirizantes no mercado de trabalho, mormente quanto aos entes estatais.

The work deals with a historical development of small (rural) schools at the area of the Czech Republic since the time of late Middle Ages to the present.

Durante o período analisado (1998 – 2008) verificou-se que a média de alavancagem das SME foi superior ao das EBL. Foi possível também notar que existiu uma mudança de tendência na qual as EBL passaram a ser mais alavancadas do que as SME a partir de 2003, mesmo quando pareadas pelo tamanho aproximado. A variação cambial possui uma associação positiva com a alavancagem evidenciando a hipótese de hedge das receitas no contexto de exposição estrangeira da matriz. Contrapondo a hipótese inicial, o risco político representado pela corrupção diminui a alavancagem das SME. Por fim, a diferença as taxas de financiamento entre o Brasil e país da matriz da SME teve relação negativa com a alavancagem externa (dívida com terceiros). No entanto, a associação positiva com alavancagem intercompany (com a matriz) ocorreu apenas após 2003. / The present study aimed to examine the influence of macroeconomics factors (rates, inflation and difference between rates of financing) and political risk in capital structure of Multinational Foreign Subsidiaries in Brazil (MFS) comparing them with Brazilian Local Companies (BLC). During the analyzed period (1998 - 2008) it was found that the average leverage of MFS was higher than the BLC. It can be also noted a trend which BLC became more leveraged than the MFS after 2003, even when matched by proxy size. The exchange rate has a positive association with the leverage, showing that the hypothesis of hedge revenues in the context multinational parent foreign exposure. Contradicting the initial hypothesis, the political risk represented by corruption reduces the leverage of MFS. Finally, the difference between financing rates in Brazil and in the parent country of MFS had negative relationship with the external leverage (external debt). However, the positive association with intercompany leverage (parent debt) occurred only after 2003.

La letteratura di business internazionale fornisce la prova convincente della diffusione globale di pratiche di responsabilità sociale delle imprese (RSI) e l'importante ruolo svolto dalle multinazionali (MNC) nel trasferimento di pratiche di RSI alle loro controllate estere. La tesi esplora la gestione di strategie di RSI da società controllate di MNC, spiegando il meccanismo che permette loro di bilanciare le pressioni istituzionali divergenti. Questo fenomeno è noto come ‘complessità istituzionale’, derivante dai molteplici ed eterogenee forze istituzionali a cui le controllate di multinazionali e le loro sedi sono esposte in relazione all'adozione di pratiche di RSI. Attingendo alla letteratura su RSI e teoria istituzionale, il primo articolo della tesi sviluppa un framework concettuale e un set di proposizioni da testare per studi futuri, attraverso un approccio configurazionale. Il secondo articolo della tesi esamina come le filiali di MNC gestiscono le pressioni, le barriere e i mezzi che affrontano durante la distribuzione delle loro attività di RSI in cinque paesi africani (Angola, Egitto, Ghana, Kenya e Sud Africa), attraverso 33 interviste, permettendoci di catturare alcuni modelli di variazione nella distribuzione di pratiche di RSI all'interno dei paesi in via di sviluppo. Il terzo documento della tesi analizza le pratiche di dialogo realizzate da 418 società quotate all'indice FTSE4Good in Europa, Nord America e Asia. / The international business literature provides compelling evidence for the global diffusions of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices and the important role played by Multinational Corporations (MNCs) in transfer of CSR practices to their foreign subsidiaries. The thesis explores the management of CSR strategies by MNCs’ subsidiaries, by explaining the mechanism that allows them to balance divergent institutional pressures. This phenomenon is known as ‘institutional complexity’, resulting from the multiple and heterogeneous institutional forces to which MNCs’ subsidiaries and their headquarters are exposed in relation to the adoption of CSR practices. Drawing on CSR literature and institutional theory, the first paper of the thesis develops a conceptual framework and a set of propositions to be tested for future studies, through a configurational approach. The second paper examines how the MNCs’ subsidiaries manage the pressures, the barriers and the enablers they face when deploying their CSR activities in five African countries (Angola, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa), through 33 interviews, allowing us to capture some patterns of variations in CSR deployment within developing countries. The third paper analyses the stakeholder dialogue practices realized by 418 companies listed in the FTSE4Good index in Europe, North America, and Asia.

La responsabilité des associés est une notion peu évoquée dans les enseignements du droit des sociétés. Dans les sociétés in bonis, et s’agissant de rapports externes, la responsabilité personnelle des associés pourrait être engagée pour faute détachable. Mais le principe d’un engagement de la responsabilité personnelle des associés, dans les rapports avec des tiers, est contesté, compte tenu du caractère essentiellement interne de leur activité. Dans une procédure collective, la non-responsabilité de la mère des actes de sa filiale, est contestée. Le développement de cette contestation est favorisé grâce à des armes de poursuite efficaces de l’arsenal répressif, des armes à utiliser dans un environnement hautement dérogatoire des procédures collectives. On constate une certaine tendance aggravante de la responsabilité de la mère, notamment dans le domaine social et dans l’environnement. La recherche d’une meilleure protection des victimes, pousse le législateur à légiférer dans des ilots en difficulté, distillant le caractère irréversible des solutions partielles et spécifiques, et forçant de ce fait, le passage vers l’instauration d’une présomption de responsabilité de la mère des actes de sa filiale. Pourtant, un arsenal répressif important et efficace existe, et des pistes permettent d’adoucir la responsabilité de la mère tout en la faisant participer aux difficultés de sa filiale. / The liability of shareholders is a notion not often referred to in coursebook. In in bonis companies, and in the case of external relationships, the shareholder personal liability could be engaged for ‘ fault detachable’. However, the principle of a commitment to personal liability on the part of shareholders in relations with third parties is contested, due to the essentially internal nature of their activity In a collective procedure, the non-liability of the parent company for the acts of their subsidiary is challenged. The development of this challenge is facilitated by powerful weapons of the repressive arsenal, weapons to be used in a highly derogatory environment of collective procedures. There is an aggravating trend in the parent company responsibility, particularly in regard to social and environmental domains. The search for a better protection of the victims pushes the legislator to legislate on isolated problematic issues, distilling the irreversible character of partial and specific solutions, and thus forcing the passage towards the establishment of a presumption of liability of the parent company for the acts of their subsidiary. However, there is a large and effective repressive arsenal, and there are avenues to limit the parent company’s liability while involving them in their subsidiary problems.

本研究利用複迴歸模型與追蹤資料模型，透過子公司市佔率探討金控子公司組合，與公司績效及風險之關聯性，期望能找出何種子公司組合，對於金控公司的績效與風險最有影響。依據2002-2015之季資料，本文主要研究結果如下： (一)若以全產業角度而言，壽險業、證券業與票券業市佔率，對於金控績效與風險影響較為顯著。壽險業市佔率增加，會提高金控之系統風險與個別風險，而證券業市佔率增加，會提高金控的總風險、系統風險與個別風險。本研究推測主要原因為壽險業與證券業的產業風險較高，容易影響金控之經營風險，故有此現象。 (二)金控若採用雙引擎策略，可以降低金控之總風險與系統風險，亦即雙引擎策略對金控之風險經營有穩健的效果。 (三)以銀行業與壽險業組合為探討對象時，則發現銀行業市佔率提高，可能使金控之破產風險上升，而壽險業的市佔率提高，金控之總風險與系統風險亦會提升。此結果顯示銀行與壽險業的子公司組合無法有效改善金控之風險因子。 (四)以銀行業與產險業組合為探討對象時，則發現銀行市佔率提升，可能使金控之各項風險因子增加，並且會降低風險調整後的報酬。而產險業市佔率增加，則會降低金控績效，並提高金控之破產風險。 (五)以銀行業與證券業組合為探討對象時，則發現證券業市佔率增加，僅會顯著增加金控之個別風險。 (六)以銀行業與票券業組合為探討對象時，則發現銀行業市佔率增加，可能使金控之績效下降，並提高金控之破產風險，然而若票券業市佔率提高，反而會增加金控之經營績效，並降低破產風險。 / This study analyzes the effect of the subsidiary combination and market share on the performance and risk of financial holding companies (FHCs). Based on the data of 2002Q1-2015Q4, the empirical result can be summarized as follows. 1. From the viewpoint of the whole industry, there is a significant relation between the market share of the subsidiaries and the performance and risk of FHCs. The result shows there is a positive effect of life insurance market share on systematic risk and idiosyncratic risk. And there is a positive effect of securities market share on total risk, systematic risk and idiosyncratic risk. 2. FHCs can reduce their total risk and systematic risk by taking dual-engine strategy. The result shows that dual-engine strategy is a sound strategy for FHCs’ operation. 3. For the subsidiary combination of bank and life insurer, there is a positive relation between bank market share and insolvency risk. And there is a positive relation among life insurance market share, total risk and systematic risk. 4. For the subsidiary combination of bank and property insurer, there is a positive relation among bank market share and FHCs’ risk. And there is a negative relation between property insurance market share and FHCs’ performance. 5. For the subsidiary combination of bank and securities company, there is a positive relation between securities market share and idiosyncratic risk. 6. For the subsidiary combination of bank and bills company, the increase of bank market share is unfavorable for FHCs’ operation, but the increase of bills company is beneficial for FHCs’ operation.

The goal of this thesis is to analyze the approaches of countries in Central and Eastern European region towards their membership in the Banking Union. The selected topic has been investigated based on structural characteristics of the banking sectors of the impacted countries. The comparison of these characteristics resulted in identification of inconsistencies between the 2 standpoints (Opt-in and Opt-out). The thesis monitors the motivation of banks in choosing or changing the legal form of 'their' banks in host markets. The work identifies areas in which the host government can act to prevent banks from converting into branches, thus retaining the regulatory powers in local authorities. The thesis in the first 2 chapters maps the first and the second pillar of the Banking Union, Single Supervisory Mechanism and the Single Resolution Mechanism respectively. Furthermore, it summarizes the results of the European Central Bank in carrying out the Comprehensive Assessment exercise.
