經濟全球化的潮流之下,企業在國際市場中的競爭日益嚴酷,企業母體與全球子公司分工體系緊密結合早已是企業生存與提升競爭力最重要也是最基本的策略。 跨國公司若要落實執行其全球策略,海外子公司的政策,必需與母公司有密切的動態配合,尤其是企業全球佈局策略演進變化方面,才能達到全體目標一致的加分效果。 本研究旨在探討跨國公司,尤其是大型通路商,在進行企業內部資源以及分工策略時,以何種策略安排可以達到最佳績效。 通路商的經營模式較品牌大廠複雜,其國際採購處的經營模式,更有別於一般資訊品牌的國際採購的經營模式。 因其面對和管理的供應廠商,為數龐大,產業別多樣,通路商的國際採購處,必需針對不同產業有不同的產品開發模式,這又增加了管理上的難度,再加上產品多樣,非打國際品牌,相對稀釋採購量( Buying Power )。 與供應商的協商技巧和管理策略更形重要。 台灣向來為資訊品牌大廠設立國際採購處的第一選擇。 但是近年來,由於台灣勞力成本增加,產業外移已成生存趨勢,加上兩岸交通成本偏高,各知名國際採購處紛紛將遠東總部移往中國。 駐台的國際採購處要如何保持其競爭優勢為學界與實務界應同時注意的主題。 本研究個案為美國大型通路商在台灣設立的採購處,其在台灣設立三十年餘,由驗貨中心,演變為策略採購重鎮,經歷組織縮編,再因變革成效顯著,得以擴大台灣組織規模,其過程值得深入探討。 本研究透過個案公司之發展,先從國際採購產業界之整體環境機會,繼而分析了解個案公司競爭優劣勢,由外而內探討其企業經營模式並歸納出為來發展之建議。 研究結果發現,創新與增加競爭力是企業唯一生存的法則,創新不侷限於產品創新,個案成功於商業模式創新,經營方式創新,以及找到台灣產業與母公司配合的最佳模式,才能在遠東區勝出,勝於香港彈性的經貿制度以及中國大陸低廉的成本。然而,這樣的競爭力能持續多久,除了企業本身必須持續創新與增加競爭力,由於出貨生產工廠大都位於中國,台灣政府對兩岸的政策也會影響台灣的競爭力。 / Globalization, procurement automation, outsourcing, and supply market instability have simultaneously elevated the procurement discipline and increased supply management challenges. Procurement executives recognize that responding to these challenges will require them to upskill their teams, adopt new sourcing, compliance, and supply management strategies, and improve systems infrastructures to drive continuous improvements in supply costs and performance and demonstrate strategic value to the enterprise. However, moving from tactical or transactional sourcing operation to a more strategic view often starts with combining buys across divisions and consolidating suppliers can enable better negotiating leverage. Globalization is driving this interest in strategic sourcing operation and analytics because it has vastly multiplied the complexity of supplier relationships. IPOs ( International Procurement Office ) are "dancing with a lot of partners," says Dr. John Vande Vate, executive director of the Executive Masters in International Logistics program at Georgia Tech University. These partners include the contract manufacturers themselves, their suppliers, and third-party logistics providers. This operation complexity has sourcing managers looking beyond lowering costs to assuring supply. That requires buying organizations to shift methodology. They need to use technology not to beat suppliers up on price, but to get more flexibility. Expect the trend in global sourcing to increase. Driving the trend are cost advantages, best-market capabilities, and shared risk. Leading procurement practices include: * A strong procurement infrastructure that enables strategic supply initiatives. * Rationalization of the global and regional supplier base, including supplier-managed inventory and replenishment. * Electronic sourcing to manage requests for information, quotations, and requests for proposal and supplier awards. * Electronic procurement order processing for non-strategic goods and services. * Daily performance monitoring and supplier scorecards. The case company in this essay, RadioShack Corporation, is executing its Strategic Growth Plan aimed at reinvigorating the retail experience and leveraging the company's sourcing expertise. This research is aimed to discuss how an IPO ( or Global Sourcing ) in Taiwan can lead the way to comply and complement company’s Strategic Growth Plan; how to renew RadioShack Global Sourcing’s vision and strategic focus; how to add value to the products by entering product life cycle at early stage; how to enhance RadioShack brand through third party channels; and how to transform current transaction buying organization to Strategic Sourcing Function Team.

企業初次公開發行(IPO，Initial Public Offering)向來是股票市場炙手可熱的話題之一，在財務經濟領域中，探討股票初次上市發行的相關議題更是多如過江之鯽，而關於IPO期初報酬率影響因素之探討更可溯及至1970年代。本研究主要係探討台灣初次上市企業期初報酬率的影響因素及影響情形，並以2005年承銷新制上路以後、直至2011年的初次上市企業為研究對象，除利用傳統的最小平方法觀察影響期初報酬的因素外，有鑑於期初報酬率普遍具有右偏分配的現象，本研究亦輔以分量迴歸分析法觀察影響期初報酬的因素，經由分量值的變動，可將解釋變數影響被解釋變數的各種情形加以估計出。再來，本研究在探討期初報酬率影響因素之基礎上，以分量迴歸分析法尋找出交易準則，並進一步檢驗當投資人遵循交易準則下，是否得以獲取顯著異於同期間大盤指數之報酬績效。在上市首日買入並持有至第五日收盤賣出之案例中，以分量迴歸結果所設定之交易準則並無法為投資人帶來顯著優於大盤指數之報酬水準；然而，在上市首日買入並持有至第二十日收盤賣出之案例，以分量迴歸結果所設定之交易準則卻可為投資人帶來顯著優於大盤指數之報酬水準。總體而言，本研究試圖將近年影響台灣企業IPO期初報酬率之因素加以剖析，進而從中尋找一些潛在規則，讓投資人得以一窺初級市場的變化及其所可能帶來之潛在獲利良機。

This research aims to explore if and to what extent the IPO-Year R&D investments of 32 Application Software companies return value, as measured through stock performance. By utilizing “Ordinary Least Squares Analysis” and the “Fama-French Three Factor Model,” this research explores how the initial R&D investments in “IPO-Year” impact stock returns during the three years post-IPO. This study is purposed to discover if and how long it takes for the initial R&D investment in the IPO-Year to materialize into stock performance for Application Software companies. However, the research and analysis indicates that R&D expenditures in an IPO-Year is not a statistically significant variable in influencing stock performance.

Background: The number of IPOs has been numerous in recent years. Moreover, the returns of the IPOs managed to either be over and underpriced. IPO-firms are generally unknown before they get listed. Therefore, the media outlets play an essential role in the dissemination of information to new investors. Thus, it becomes noteworthy to investigate whether media attention could be an explanatory factor for the first-day returns and how it affects an IPO in the short-term perspective. Research Questions: i) If the amount of media coverage two months pre-IPO has any relation with the first trading day return and ii) If the amount of media coverage helps to predict the IPOs stock return volatility after a two-month period (44 trading days)? Purpose: This research will attempt to find evidence if the amount of media coverage pre- IPO may drive the demand for the IPO and the first-day return. For this purpose, it is also necessary to find the under and/or overpricing. Furthermore, a regression analysis will be applied during a two-month period after the first trading day to investigate if increasing volatility depends on the amount of media coverage. Delimitations: The sample consists of 165 IPOs in Sweden from Aktietorget and OMX Stockholm during the period 2005-2017. IPOs are initial introductions that are not unit IPOs, mergers & acquisitions, right issues, spin-offs or buy-out firms. Method: The first research question is explained by a Pearson correlation where X is the media variable and tested against the degree of under or overpricing. Furthermore, a multiple-linear regression is examined where variables market index, Retriever data and trading volume is tested against stock return. Conclusion: It has been identified that Aktietorget has been overpriced 2005-2017 by 2.9% while OMXS has been underpriced 6.8%. In summary, the study did not manage statistically to ensure that the amount of media coverage significantly influenced the stock return volatility.

[pt] Esta Dissertação apresenta uma análise de retornos e características das emissões primárias de capital (IPO) realizadas na BMeFBovespa no período de 10 anos compreendido entre 2006 e 2015. Analisamos a relação entre as características de uma empresa no momento de sua abertura de capital e a sua performance no primeiro ano na bolsa contra os pares da bolsa e de seu setor. Além disso, é analisada a influência do investimento por um fundo de Private Equity na formação dessas características. São utilizados dados financeiros e de governança para a construção das variáveis. Podemos observar que empresas investidas por fundos de private equity apresentaram retornos inferiores aos das empresas que não tinham esse tipo de investidor, exceto quanto os fundos mantiveram seus investimentos após a abertura de capital. Além disso, as investidas de fundos de private equity apresentaram melhores níveis de governança, maior grau de alavancagem e menores múltiplos de precificação no momento de suas ofertas primárias. / [en] This dissertation presents an analysis of the returns and characteristics of the Initial Public Offerings (IPO) performed at the BMandFBovespa over a period of 10 years between 2006 and 2015. We analyze the relationship between the characteristics of a company at the time of its IPO and its performance in the first year of trading in the stock exchange against their stock market peers and their industry. In addition, the influence of the investment by a Private Equity fund on the construction of these characteristics is analyzed. Financial and governance data are used to construct the variables. We can observe that companies invested by private equity funds presented lower returns than companies that did not have this type of investor, except when the funds kept their shares after the IPO. In addition, private equity fund s investee companies presented better levels of governance, higher leverage, and lower pricing multiples at the time of their primary offerings.

Cette thèse a pour objectif d'analyser la structure du capital et la performance des entreprises familiales Françaises qui s'introduisent en Bourse. A partir d'un échantillon de 90 entreprises familiales appartenant à l'indice CAC All-Tradable de 2010 à 2013, nous constatons que la structure du capital des entreprises familiales est caractérisée par un faible niveau d'endettement avec une préférence pour l'endettement à court terme par rapport au long terme. De plus, la structure de capital des entreprises familiales vérifie les théories classiques du financement, l'hypothèse de ‘market timing', la théorie du ratio d'endettement optimal et de la théorie du financement hiérarchique. Ensuite, nous analysons les performances à court terme et à long terme des entreprises familiales françaises qui s'introduisent en Bourse. Les résultats montrent les différentes techniques d'expropriation employées par les propriétaires des entreprises familiales. A la date de l'introduction en bourse, la majorité des propriétaires des entreprises familiales sont à la fois les directeurs généraux et les présidents des conseils d'administration. Après l'introduction en bourse, les propriétaires des entreprises familiales détiennent environ 80% des droits des flux de trésorerie et nous constatons que la différence entre leurs droits aux flux de trésorerie et leurs droits de vote a augmenté. La sous-évaluation au premier jour est voisine de 2%, ce qui révèle que les entreprises familiales sont correctement évaluées lors de l'émission. Les entreprises familiales surperforment l'indice de marché dans les trois premiers mois de l'émission et après la troisième année. Nous trouvons aussi que le changement des droits de propriété et de contrôle avant et après l'introduction en Bourse explique les performances à court et à long terme contrairement aux mécanismes de gouvernance. / This thesis aims to analyze the capital structure and performance of French family firms going public. From a sample of 90 family firms belonging to CAC All-Tradable from 2010 to 2013, we find that the capital structure of family firms is characterized by a low level of debt with a preference for short-term debt relative to long-term debt. Moreover, the capital structure of family firms is in line with the classical theories of financing, the hypothesis of market timing, the theory of optimal debt ratio and the pecking order theory. Then we analyze the short-term and long-term performance of French family firms going public through Initial Public Offerings. The results show the different expropriation techniques employed by the family firms' owners. On the initial public offering date, the majority of family firms' owners are simultaneously CEOs and Chairmen of boards of directors. After going public, the family firms' owners hold around 80% of the firms' cash flow rights and we observe that the difference between their cash flow rights and their voting rights has increased. First-day underpricing is around 2% which shows that family firms are almost fairly priced upon issuance. The family firms outperform the market index in the first three months of issuance and after the third year. We also find that the ownership and control rights change from pre- to post-IPO date explains the short-term and long-term performance unlike governance mechanisms.

The major Central Banks of the world have to give greater importance to policies that ensure financial stability. There is a consensus regarding the need for advanced regulatory and prudential measures capable of reducing the financial risks. However, there are differences in the use of the basic interest rate, not only as a necessary tool to ensure price stability, but also to ensure financial stability and prevent the formation of financial bubbles. In the last twenty years, Brazil has experienced a period of great expansion of its credit market, fruit of the economical and financial establishments. The Central Bank of Brazil had a successful performance during the crisis and demonstrated its ability in using instruments of monetary politics and prudential measures in a complementary manner. Over the past four years, the macroeconomic conditions have deteriorated and Brazil has gone through a period of low growth, a level of inflation that reaches its target ceiling and a rise in national debt. While macro-prudential policies were able to prevent the formation of financial bubbles, the fiscal and monetary policies were far too expansionary. In this period there was a weakening in the reaction function of the Central Bank, which has failed to comply with the principle of Taylor. / A crise financeira iniciada em 2007 gerou uma grande recessão nos Estados Unidos e abalou a economia global com consequências nefastas para o crescimento e a taxa de desemprego em vários países. Os principais Bancos Centrais do mundo passaram a dar maior importância para políticas que garantam a estabilidade financeira. É consensual a necessidade de avanços regulatórios e de medidas prudenciais capazes de reduzir os riscos financeiros, mas existem divergências quanto ao uso da taxa básica de juros, não só como um instrumento necessário para garantir a estabilidade de preços, como também para garantir a estabilidade financeira e evitar a formação de bolhas. O Brasil viveu nos últimos vinte anos um período de grande expansão do mercado de crédito, fruto das estabilidades econômica e financeira. O Banco Central do Brasil teve atuação exitosa durante a crise e demonstrou habilidade em utilizar instrumentos de política monetária e medidas macroprudenciais de forma complementar. Nos últimos quatro anos, as condições macroeconômicas se deterioraram e o Brasil atravessou um período de crescimento baixo, inflação próxima ao teto da meta e aumento do endividamento. Enquanto as políticas macroprudenciais foram capazes de evitar a formação de bolhas, as políticas fiscal e monetária foram demasiadamente expansionistas. Neste período houve um enfraquecimento na função-reação do Banco Central, que deixou de respeitar o princípio de Taylor.

No período de janeiro de 2004 a maio de 2007 foi possível notar um fato inédito para o mercado brasileiro, dos 61 IPOs que ocorreram, 26 foram realizados por firmas que tinham um fundo de Private Equity/Venture Capital como acionista. Devido a assimetria de informação, o preço de emissão é tipicamente inferior ao preço de mercado da ação após o IPO, sendo esse 'fenômeno' conhecido na literatura como underpricing. Essa dissertação busca examinar o papel de certificação que um fundo de Private Equity/Venture Capital pode exercer nas emissões de ações no Brasil no período de 2004 a maio de 2007, reduzindo assim a assimetria de informação existente, através de uma análise do underpricing dos IPOs de empresas que tem fundos de Private Equity/Venture Capital como acionistas, e de empresas que não tem. Encontramos evidência que sugere que no mercado brasileiro apenas empresas com um bom grau de governança e transparência tem acesso ao Mercado de capitais através de IPOs, tirando, desta forma, a importância do poder de certificação exercido pelos fundos de Private Equity/Venture Capital em reduzir a assimetria de informação existente. / The improvement, observed in the last years, in the economic environment in Brazil, resulted in a massive increase in the number of IPOs that took place in Brazil. Disinvestment through capital market thus turned up to be a good option for Private Equity and Venture Capitalists. Of the 61 IPOs that occurred in the period from January/ 2004 until May/2007, 26 of them were Private Equity/Venture Capital backed IPOs, fact that was not seen before 2004. Due to information asymmetry, IPOs are on average systematically underpriced. This dissertation studies the certification role of Private Equity/Venture Capitalist in IPOs that took place in Brazil from 2004 to May/07 through an analyses of underpricing in Private Equity/Venture Capital backed IPOs and Non Private Equity/Venture Capital backed IPOs. We find evidence that suggests that only firms with a good level of corporate governance and transparency have access to performing IPOs in Brazil during the period studied thus reducing the importance of the Private Equity/Venture Capital role in certifying new issues as a mean of reducing information asymmetry.

Para isso adotou-se a metodologia Pooled OLS para uma amostra de 114 empresas que abriram seu capital durante o período compreendido entre 2004 e 2016 na BM&FBovespa. As variáveis independentes operacionais adotadas foram o nível de caixa, a alavancagem, o pagamento de dividendos em relação ao lucro e o interest coverage. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram uma significância estatística apenas para a métrica de interest coverage. Em relação a persistência dos efeitos não foi possível observar uma longa duração dos mesmos, geralmente o intervalo temporal de persistência foi de apenas dois ou três anos. / The main objectives of this study are to evaluate if the presence of a private equity or venture capital fund during the IPO of Brazilian companies implies on superior operational performance and to analyze if these effects are persistent over time. A Pooled OLS regression was performed on a sample of 114 companies that went public between 2004 and 2016 on BM&FBovespa. The independent operational variables adopted were cash holdings, leverage, dividends to earnings and interest coverage. Statistical significance was only obtained for the interest coverage metric. Regarding the time effects persistence, no long-term persistence was observed, usually only two or three years of short-term persistence.
