  • The Award in Saluka Investments V. Czech Republic
    CHAPTER 5 THE AWARD IN SALUKA INVESTMENTS V. CZECH REPUBLIC George Stephanov Georgiev* I. INTRODUCTION This chapter analyzes the award issued over the claim that the Czech Republic had violated its bilateral investment treaty with the Netherlands through actions following the failed privatization of one of the biggest Czech banks. The chapter focuses on the award’s reasoning and finds that, overall, the tribunal provided sufficient information about the grounds for its decision. The treatment of the jurisdiction claim, the fair and equitable treatment claim, the non-impairment claim, and the full security and protection claim is sophisticated, cogent, and thorough. In these areas, the tribunal completely fulfilled its obligation to state reasons under Article 32(2) of the Rules of the U.N. Commission on Inter- national Trade Law (UNCITRAL). Some other aspects of the tribunal’s analysis, including that of the unlawful expropriation claim, exhibit flawed or attenuated reasoning, but do not threaten the overall coher- ence of the award. The discussion here also demonstrates the benefits of well-reasoned arbitral decisions by noting the award’s contribution to the negotiated settlement of this and other related disputes. The Saluka arbitration arose out of the failed privatization of the Czech Republic’s third largest bank, IPB (Investicní a Postovní banka a.s.). In 1998, the government sold a controlling block of IPB shares to Nomura Europe, which in turn transferred them to Saluka Investments BV (Saluka), a Nomura special-purpose company incorporated in the Netherlands. While the bank’s performance improved considerably under its new owner and management, the IPB still lacked sufficient operating capital and was burdened by a large amount of non-perform- * J.D., Yale Law School, June 2007.

    City of New Prague Historic Context Study “We live not alone in the present, but also in the past and future. We can never look out thoughtfully at our own immediate surroundings but a course of reasoning will start up, leading us to inquire into the causes that produced the development around us, and at the same time we are led to conjecture the results to follow causes now in operation. We are thus linked indissolubly with the past and the future. If, then, the past is not simply a stepping-stone to the future, but a part of our very selves, we cannot afford to ignore, or separate it from ourselves as a member might be lopped off from our bodies; for though the body thus maimed, might perform many and perhaps most of its functions, still it could never again be called complete.” - Charles S.

  • Development of Beer Industry and Craft Beer Expansion
    Journal of Food and Nutrition Research (ISSN 1336-8672) Vol. 58, 2019, No. 1, pp. 63–74 Development of beer industry and craft beer expansion Ján Pokrivčák – Soňa Chovanová SuPeková – DrahoSlav lančarič – raDovan Savov – Marián TóTh – raDoSlav vašina Summary The objective of this paper is to evaluate how globalization of Slovak economy and its economic growth affected not only the structure of the traditional beer market in Slovakia but also the rise and expansion of craft breweries. The theory is focused on examining an interplay between the standardized and globalized traditional beer industry, develop- ment and dissemination of craft brewing technologies and changing of life styles. Results and main outcomes are based on a survey where 20 owners of craft breweries in Slovakia were interviewed using a focus group approach. We identi- fied main factors affecting expansion of craft breweries as well as barriers to craft breweries expansion. The expansion is positively affected by increasing demand for diversified beer, different beer styles and the increase of income. The main barriers are the increasing consumption of substitutes, lack of qualified brewers and taxation policy. Main motivation factors to start a craft brewery are lack of diversified beer and good business opportunity.

    STATI Ι ARTICLES STRATEGIC FORCES IN THE CZECH BREWING INDUSTRY FROM 1990–2015 Stanislav Tripes, Jiří Dvořák* Abstract The need for this research stems from the dynamic development that the brewing industry has undergone since the Velvet Revolution when the market was split between seventy-one regional breweries. In the 1990s, customers began to prefer the larger nationwide breweries, a trend that led to the bankruptcy of some regional breweries thereby creating a market niche that was quickly filled by microbreweries. By 2015, there were 44 industrial breweries and around 300 microbreweries. By then, the beer market had diversified, and since the brewing industry had been highly dynamic, managers had to change strategy regarding customer requirements. Strategic change has since been reflected in the pricing and quality of the beer, marketing communication, and merchandising. Knowledge of developments in the industry and adapting strategies to meet these changes have been key factors in determining future survival. The purpose of this study is to describe the development of the brewing industry and the resulting strategic changes of different breweries. Historical knowledge is required for future research into the perception of the brewery managers’ strategic thinking. This paper is the first step in longitudinal research focused on strategy formulation at the business level in the brewing industry and brewery performance. The study is based on qualitative approaches and a two-step research design: the first phase is historical research, where the data was obtained from contemporary newspapers, professional and scientific journals, and annual reports from breweries. The second phase is composed of interviews conducted at four breweries, which are representative of the population.
