  • 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. FEB 081998 LIBPARtCS Politics and Privatization in Germany Lufthansa and Deutsche Telekom J. Nicholas Ziegler Introduction Recent changes in the world economy have prompted scholars and practitioners to ask whether all countries are converging on a single most efficient set of institutions for economic management. Some observers argue that the three processes driving worldwide competition — globalization,

  • Comparative Connections a Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations
    Comparative Connections A Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations China-Taiwan Relations: New Faces, Familiar Policies David G. Brown, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies Kevin Scott, The Brookings Institution Leadership changes have occurred on both sides of the strait. As predicted, the 18th Party Congress saw Xi Jinping appointed as general secretary in Beijing. In Taipei, President Ma announced in September a complete reshuffle of his cross-strait and foreign policy team. In both cases, the personnel changes do not foreshadow any policy changes in the coming months. While Ma remains unwilling to address political issues in direct negotiations, some interesting Track 2 dialogues occurred. In October, Beijing gave visiting DPP politician Hsieh Chang-ting unusual high-level attention, and following his return Hsieh has tried, thus far unsuccessfully, to promote change in DPP policy. Against the backdrop of increasing tensions over the Diaoyu Islands, Ma is focused on asserting Taiwan’s interests primarily through his East China Sea Peace Initiative. 18th Party Congress and PRC policy The 18th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) saw the long-anticipated emergence of a new party leadership under General Secretary Xi Jinping. In the lead-up to the Congress, Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) Minister Wang Yi authored two important articles. The first, an article in the party theoretical journal Qiushi, addressed primarily to party members, was entitled “The Accomplishments and Theoretical Renewal in Cross-Strait Work during the Past Ten Years.” Wang noted that the goal was reunification, that the interests of all Chinese would be best served by peaceful reunification and that the “peaceful development” of cross-strait relations based on Hu Jintao’s Six Points would pave the way for peaceful reunification.

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.

  • Privatisierung Und Regulierung
    Privatisierung, Regulierung und ihre Folgen verdeutlicht am Beispiel der Deutschen Post AG Ausgearbeitet von Adrian Klein, Referent DPVKOM Kommunikationsgewerkschaft DPV Schaumburg-Lippe-Str. 5 Postfach 14 31 Telefon: 0228 911400 www.dpvkom.de 53113 Bonn 53004 Bonn Telefax: 0228 91140-98 Mail: [email protected] 07/2011 2 ©DPVKOM Vorwort In der vorliegenden Untersuchung beschränkt sich der Autor in seinen Ausführungen ausschließlich auf Zahlen und Fakten, die aus der Privatisierung der Deutschen Bundespost „Postdienst/gelbe Post“ heraus entstanden sind. 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

  • Netiquette: Miss Manners for the Web
    4 Netiquette: Miss Manners for the Web Welcome to the world of the new influencers. The reason the social web is sometimes called the “wild west” is that we’re still working out the kinks of how best to communicate with one another online. The rules of conduct may not be set in stone, but the social web isn’t a total free-for-all either. You should be aware of some key, often mystifying, communi- cations protocols before striking up conversations with the locals. This chapter provides some lessons Friends with Benefits (C) 2009 by Darren Barefoot and Julie Szabo on how to communicate with new influencers—bloggers, YouTube stars, Facebook friend magnets, and Digg superstars. Think of this chapter as finishing school for Internet communication. If you understand the social innuendo, you’ve got a much better chance of breaking into the inner circle and getting mentioned or reviewed by powerful online influencers who can send thousands of visitors—and potential buyers—your way. We will run through a variety of communications techniques here, but if you take one lesson from this chapter, take this: Listen first. Thankfully, nearly all new influencer communications occur in the Internet’s public forum, so you can adopt an anthropological approach. By emulating the influencers’ behavior and learning their dialect, you can be confident when you approach them. As Jane Goodall discovered, the best way to learn about a species is to live among them. So you’re going to start being active online right now. Have your computer in front of you while you read this chapter, because we’re going to put you to work.
