  • The Politics of Privatization and Restructuring in Germany
    4^ ^ >v •> Dii.'^.^/ HD28 .M414 The Politics of Privatization and Restructuring in Germany Lufthansa and Deutsche Teleliom J. Nicholas Ziegler Revised October 1997 WP# 3880 Sloan School of Management Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT, E52-581 Cambridge, MA 02142-1347 tel. 617-253-3698 fax 617-253-2660 [email protected] The privatization of public service companies offers an excellent case for assessing pressures for institutional convergence versus the staying power of distinctive national economic institutions in the advanced industrial countries. This paper examines the privatization of Lufthansa and Deutsche Telekom in order to see whether changes in enterprise ownership reflect a process of convergence in the rules of coiporate governance. While the outward form of privatization in Germany looks quite similar to privatization in Britain and the United States, these two cases show little evidence that the change in ownership is driving any formal changes in corporate governance. If anything, German financial institutions and trade unions continue to exercise distinctive roles that rest on their historical positions in the German economy.

The case study covers telephone policy debates in France and Germany in five time periods fi*om 1876 until 1997: the ‘consolidation phase’ (1876 - 1900); the 1920s; the post-Second World War years; the debates leading up to corporatisation in the 1980s; and the debates around opening for full competition in the 1990s. The analytical framework is founded in writings on state traditions and on the role of ideas and discourse in policymaking. The study’s object of investigation, ‘sectoral state traditions’, is developed to allow for comparison both longitudi­ nally within one country and cross-nationally.

Dabei wird die Wandlung der ehemaligen Behörde vom Jahr 1995 an bis zu ihrem heutigen Status als Aktiengesellschaft und „Global Player“ betrachtet. Kernansatz ist die Frage, wie sich die Privatisierung auf verschiedene Gruppen, das Unternehmen selbst, die Beschäftigten, die Volkswirtschaft und die Kunden auswirkt bzw. ausgewirkt hat Aus den gewonnenen Ergebnissen und Schlussfolgerungen können nicht automatisch Analogien zum Telekommunikationsmarkt gezogen werden. Für diese Wirtschaftssparte ist leider eine solche Analyse aufgrund der Vielfältigkeit der Tätigkeitsfelder der Deutschen Telekom AG sowie der unübersichtlichen Konkurrenzsituation (welcher auch nicht abschließend einzugrenzen ist) nicht im selben Maße durchführbar. 1. Ein Rückblick Bereits im Jahre 1990 wurde im Rahmen der „Postreform I“, der Aufspaltung der ehemaligen Behörde „Deutsche Bundespost“ (DBP) in die drei öffentlichen Unternehmen DBP „Telekom“ (grau), DBP „Postdienst“ (gelb) und DBP Postbank (blau), der Grundstein für

    Press release From experiment to global data network – the Internet celebrates a birthday Aachen, Germany, 28 October 2019: "lo" – this was the first message transmitted over a predecessor of the Internet we know today on 29 October 1969 in the USA as the system crashed after the first two letters of the word "login" had been entered. On the second attempt an hour later, it was possible to transmit the complete text. Initially, there were two university computers connected with each other over a decentrally organised network, while just a few weeks later this number rose to four. The Internet was born! The topics of this press release: • ARPANET became the World Wide Web • The Internet today ARPANET became the World Wide Web In the years that followed, more and more computers were added to what was then called "ARPANET". However, at the beginning, the various "languages" of the PCs proved to be problematic. A standardised operating system didn't yet exist. It wasn't until the development of a common computer language in 1983, the TCP/IP network protocol for data transmission, that development of the Internet continued. Originally designed for the exchange of military and scientific information, it made possible the advancement of the CERN nuclear research laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland – not just for sending and receiving data, but also for storing this information in a kind of enormous database. We owe it to the English physicist Tim Berners-Lee, who had developed the http protocol around 1990, that the previously highly restricted PC network has become accessible to more users.

  • Vodafone - Kabel Deutschland Merger
    A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements For the Award of a Master’s Degree in Finance from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics. Vodafone - Kabel Deutschland Merger Christoph Beck Student number: 612 A Project carried out on merger& acquisitions, under the supervision of: Paulo Soares de Pinho 6th of December 2013 Work Project at Nova School of Business and Economics Christoph Beck Vodafone - Kabel Deutschland Merger Abstract This work project aims to analyse the acquisition of German cable operator Kabel Deutschland by the British telecommunications company Vodafone in September 2013. Analysis of the technologies and German telecommunications sector reveals the sources that motivate a transaction. The acquirer needs to find a way to react to the increasing demand for data on internet connections. Also, Vodafone has a weak infrastructure of fixed line and thus is missing a strong network to be able to offer the full Quad-Play services (TV/Fixed-Phone/Internet/Mobile). The acquisition target is a company with a strong cable network in place that is a good alternative to provide modern internet connections. Both companies seem to be highly complementary and would benefit from a merger by getting an improved competitive position and readiness for the Quad-Play trend. The offer price per share is with €87 per share 24% above the standalone DCF valuation and represents an attractive premium for target shareholders. Discounting the claimed Synergies by acquirer Vodafone result in an NPV of €4.5 billion. This means that Vodafone is paying away 33% of the Synergies to the target.
