An emerging transnational industrial relations? Exploring the prospects for cross‐border labour bargaining

Global union federations (GUFs) and multinational enterprises (MNEs) have been concluding “international framework agreements” (IFAs) to protect their interests amidst the globalizing economic landscape. By modelling the underlying bargaining processes, the authors show that IFAs can be expected when both sides exhibit risk aversion, although the agreement will favour the less risk‐averse side. Since globalization has created fewer vulnerabilities for MNEs than for GUFs, IFAs have so far typically delivered only minimal benefits for labour. But this should change in the future if strengthened transnational union capacities and abilities to threaten MNEs with reputational costs bring greater equalization of attitudes towards risk.

The other Chinese: identity work and self-orientalization of Chinese host country nationals in multinational corporations

ABSTRACT

This paper draws on an in-depth case study of narrative identity work to explore heuristically the role of host country nationals in the reproduction of orientalist discourses in multinational corporations (MNCs). Based on this analysis, it presents an identity strategy termed the other Chinese. The other Chinese claims to be in-between the West, that is constructed as superior modern and rational, and China, that is constructed as backwards and chaotic. This in-betweenness allows the other Chinese to take the role of a mediator between locals and expatriates, and at the same time claim superiority towards normal Chinese. Thus, this identity construction is a creative act of hybridization and localization, but it is not subversive to existing power structures in the MNCs. However, as we show, the construction of the other Chinese is not inextricably bound to the field of the MNCs, but is based on a hybrid and creative entanglement of various sources such as class positions and public discourse in China, in which the MNCs only occupy an insignificant role. It is, therefore, to be understood as an aspect of identity construction in China relevant for MNC identity, rather than an aspect of the transnational field of the MNCs.

2008年以来中国资本结构实证研究综述

资本结构问题是一个具有重大理论价值和实践意义的研究课题.资本结构与企业的税收、财务状况和代理成本直接相关,它不仅影响企业的资本成本和企业的总价值,而且影响企业的治理结构(企业相关利益者的利益权衡契约关系)以及经理行为,进而影响一个国家或地区的总体经济增长和稳定.中国资本结构的实证研究起步较晚.但是2008年以来也取得了一定的成绩.中国资本结构的实证研究主要包括两个方向,即资本结构的影响因素和资本结构与上市公司经营绩效之间的关系研究.与国外资本结构的研究相比,中国资本结构的实证研究还有待于进一步的深入.     

论国有企业法人产权共享制

确立法人产权共享制的关键是认识法人产权主体 ,法人产权主体根据收益分享权界定。资本、劳动、社会作为法人产权三位一体 ,缺一不可 ,互相制约又互相促进。资本的法人产权是企业法人产生的基础 ;劳动的法人产权是企业法人有效运转的决定因素 ;社会的法人产权是企业法人有效运转的保障     

清前期商人与多民族国家的统一和巩固

清前期是我国统一多民族国家空前巩固的时期。这既是当时国内各民族共同奋斗的结果 ,也有处于上升时期的清前期统治集团的运筹之功。然商人也发挥了重要的作用。在清政府平叛和反击外来入侵的战争中 ,他们或驰骋疆场 ,浴血奋战 ;或跋涉千里 ,为大军转运粮饷 ;或不吝巨资 ,踊跃捐输 ,给清政府以财力支持。对战争的胜利起到了一定的作用 ,为我国统一多民族国家的发展做出了贡献。     

关于我国资产管理公司若干问题的思考

我国现有的四家资产管理公司是为化解四大国有商业银行的巨额不良资产而成立的,但是它们运作的内在机制与外部环境都存在不少问题。目前,我们应采取信托方式解决其收购资金不足的问题,建立起各部利益主体的内在约束机制来杜绝道德风险的产生;为资产管理公司创造良好的法律环境及立法支持,并大力发展资本市场和中介机构,以保证资产管理公司的高效运作。
