Possibilities of securing and exercising family influence in U.S. companies a comparative analysisRothaermel, Thomas January 2003 (has links)
This work focuses on the special problems in the context of drafting the corporate charter and bylaws for American corporations the stocks of which are mainly owned by the members of one family. Although the ownership structure would also allow a partnership organization, there can be good reasons for choosing the corporate structure. Nevertheless, the family owners will want to preserve a partnership-like structure and a maximum amount of ownership influence. However, the three-tiered structure of the corporation (board of directors, officers, and shareholders) and their individual functions are fixed by a "statutory model" that the courts tend to adhere to and that has often been written into positive corporate statutes. / Hence, for each organizational level, this work tries to fathom the permissible deviations from the statutory model in order to maintain and exercise family influence. / Furthermore, the special legal forms provided by the legislators (especially "close corporation status") will be considered. / Because American corporate law is within the province of the state legislators, the work takes a comparative approach. Guided by the criteria of practical applicability and comparative interest, the Model Business Corporation Act as well as the state laws of Delaware, New York, California, and Nevada were selected.

The Development and Implementation of Federal Policy Concerning Health Maintenance OrganizationsEnochs, David H. 08 1900 (has links)
There is some controversy which centers around the question of whether a particular government policy or program may be Judged successful. This dissertation takes the position, with due respect to the difficulties of such a task, that policy success can be evaluated and that it is important that such evaluations be made. Traditionally, health care in the United States has been delivered by the solo medical practitioner on a fee-for-service basis. A relatively new concept in the health care delivery system combines group practice with prepayment for services. These types of practices were designated as Health Maintenance Organizations in 1970 by the Nixon Administration.The major question of this dissertation is whether or not the HMO policy of the federal government has been a success. Along with this question the primary focus of this dissertation is upon the development and evolution of the federal HMO program.

Patenting innovation : intellectual property rights in the new economyRamage, Ian 05 1900 (has links)
In advanced industrial economies where, increasingly, intellectual assets are the principal source of
value, productivity, and growth, strong intellectual property rights (IPRs)—conferred by patents,
copyrights, and penalties for misappropriation of trade secrets—are an important inducement to
invention and investment. For this reason, the extension and strengthening of IPRs in the United
States and elsewhere in the past twenty-five years were appropriate and probably necessary. It may be
that in some respects those processes should proceed further. On the other hand, there is growing
friction over the assertion and exercise of some IPRs, particular patents, and claims that in some
circumstances they may be discouraging research, its communication, and use. The question arises
whether in some respects the strengthening and extension have proceeded too far.
It is well known that the use of, reliance upon, and effects of patent protections vary across
industries and technologies, but until recently there has been remarkably little empirical research
documenting these differences. Fortunately, this is beginning to change, and the effects of some of the
policy changes in the 1980s and 1990s are beginning to be investigated. Some evidence suggests that
the effort to strengthen patent rights has indeed increased their importance and may have contributed
to the growth of industrial R&D funding. On the other hand, recent survey evidence indicates that
U.S. manufacturing firms in most industries rely more heavily on trade secrecy, lead time, and other
technological protections to recoup their R&D investments than they do on legal mechanisms such as
patents.
This thesis examines the effects that a stronger, broader patent regime is having on today's
industries. The main issues that emerge are those of patent quality and scope, as caused by problems
with patent administration and litigation. Various solutions to these problems are then investigated,
and recommendations made for future reform. / Law, Peter A. Allard School of / Graduate

The role of federal district courts on desegregation: A logistic regression analysis of the factors that influence prodesegregation outcomes.Lane, Ginny G. 12 1900 (has links)
In this study I analyzed the 1089 desegregation outcomes in federal district courts that occurred between 1994 and 2004 in order to identify a) the legal and non-legal factors in the litigation process that predict pro-desegregation outcomes and b) the judicial patterns that impact the future of desegregation policy. Twenty-one legal and non-legal variables were analyzed via logistic regression analysis to identify factors that predict pro-desegregation outcomes. Only three predictor variables were statistically significant: Government Litigants; Region 3 (West) and Region 4 (Northeast.) Descriptive analyses of the data identified two trends in the pattern of litigation: The percentage of defendant wins increased after 1991 at a lesser rate than has been previously reported. I conclude that based on the results of both the quantitative and qualitative analyses the federal district courts are not a barrier to desegregation and can still be a part of a comprehensive desegregation strategy.
