    Transnational Corporate Ties: A Synopsis of Theories and Empirical Findings Michael Nollert introduction or sociologists and analysts of the world economy, it is certainly a matter of Ffact that transnational corporations are by no means isolated actors in an economic “war of all against all” (Th omas Hobbes). Rather, transnational cor- porations are frequently members of corporate networks, often of global reach. Although the literature on globalization emphasizes the increasing economic power of these networks and postulates the formation of a transnational capital- ist class, there is still a lack of empirical fi ndings. Th is article starts with a review of theoretical perspectives (resource dependence, social capital, coordination of markets, fi nancial hegemony, class hegemony, inner circle, and transnational capitalist class) which focuses on the functions and structures of corporate inter- locks at the national and the transnational level. Th e subsequent section off ers a synopsis of studies concerning transnational corporate networks. Th ese analyses of corporate ties (interlocking directorates, fi nancial participations and policy group affi liations) suggest the emergence of transnational economic elites whose members, however, have not lost their national identity. In the fi nal section, the theoretical perspectives will be assessed and some prospects are sketched out. Finally, it will be argued that the disintegration of the world society, which is considerably driven by rent-seeking corporate networks, can only be restrained if a potential global regulatory agency will be anchored in a post-Washington consensus. abstract: In general, corporations are not isolated pirical studies concerning transnational cor- actors in an economic “war of all against all” porate networks.

  • The CEO Compensation Structure in Swedish Listed Companies
    The CEO compensation structure in Swedish listed companies - A Quantitative Study School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg Bachelor Thesis in Industrial and Financial Management Spring 2013 Supervisor: Zia Mansouri Ph.D Authors: Date of birth: Seminar Date: Andersson, David 1989 2013-06-04 Suurküla, Eduard 1987 1 (54) Abstract In this thesis we explore how CEOs in Swedish listed companies are compensated. Executive compensation in Sweden has not been extensively treated on a top academic research level, though there are a lot of student theses treating the subject. A lot of studies look at the largest companies seen to market capitalization; we contribute to earlier research adding companies with lower market capitalization, in an effort to retrieve a more balanced picture. We match our results with earlier research on Swedish CEO compensation and try to discern trends in a way that until now has not been done. Our study is two folded, we do a literature review and a quantitative study based on secondary data. The data for CEO compensation are found in the companies’ annual reports. Each report have been thoroughly analysed to give the correct information for the calculations. We show how the total CEO compensations for the fiscal year 2012 are divided between five (5) different components. We follow the division of compensation accounted for in the annual reports; accordingly dividing it in (1) Fixed Salary, (2) Variable Compensation, (3) Other Benefits, (4) Stock & Options and (5) Pension. One of the major differences from our thesis is that we also account for the share of pension and other benefits (perquisites), areas left opaque by many earlier studies.
