  • Managing Political Risk in Global Business: Beiersdorf 1914-1990
    Managing Political Risk in Global Business: Beiersdorf 1914-1990 Geoffrey Jones Christina Lubinski Working Paper 12-003 July 22, 2011 Copyright © 2011 by Geoffrey Jones and Christina Lubinski Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Managing Political Risk in Global Business: Beiersdorf 1914-1990 Geoffrey Jones Christina Lubinski 1 Abstract This working paper examines corporate strategies of political risk management during the twentieth century. It focuses especially on Beiersdorf, a German-based pharmaceutical and skin care company. During World War 1 the expropriation of its brands and trademarks revealed its vulnerability to political risk. Following the advent of the Nazi regime in 1933, the largely Jewish owned and managed company, faced a uniquely challenging combination of home and host country political risk. The paper reviews the firm's responses to these adverse circumstances, challenging the prevailing literature which interprets so-called "cloaking" activities as one element of businesses’ cooperation with the Nazis. The paper departs from previous literature in assessing the outcomes of the company’s strategies after 1945. It examines the challenges and costs faced by the company in recovering the ownership of its brands. While the management of distance became much easier over the course of the twentieth century because of communications

  • European Accounting and Management Review
    EAMR EUROPEAN ACCOUNTING AND MANAGEMENT REVIEW VOLUME 5, ISSUE 1, ARTICLE 2, 21-46, NOVEMBER 2018 Value Creation and Women on Boards Bettina C.K. Binder Hochschule Pforzheim Received September 8, 2018; accepted October 26, 2018. ABSTRACT Value creation is a major claim of most companies. Mahajan (2017) argues that “value and value creation are natural to and basic in human behaviour and endeavour”, nevertheless women are often marginalized and impeded in their advancement towards leadership positions, where they could shape and influence the process of value creation. The present article looks at the companies of EURO STOXX 50 index in the year 2015 and offers an overview of women representation on the boards of these 50 companies. The paper tries to establish whether the success of these companies can be related to the percentage of female members in supervisory positions. The findings reveal the existence of a weak correlation between Earning before Taxes (EBT) and the proportion of women on the boards of the EURO STOXX 50 companies. KEYWORDS Value creation, women on supervisory boards, key performance indicators, gender quota, earnings before taxes. Bettina C.K. Binder 1. Introduction Value creation is a major claim of most companies and when leafing through the annual reports of companies one encounters expressions such as “value to our shareholders”, “we provide value for our customers”, “we create value for our employees, shareholders, business partners, neighbours and the public”, etc. While it seems to be clear for whom value is created, the concept of “value” itself is subjected to various interpretations and is regarded in the literature as ambiguous (Lepak, Smith and Taylor, 2007; Marinova, Larimo and Nummela, 2017).

  • Annual General Meeting 2021 Beiersdorf AG, Hamburg April 1, 2021 Speech
    _____________________________________________________________________________________ Annual General Meeting 2021 Beiersdorf AG, Hamburg April 1, 2021 Speech Stefan De Loecker Chairman of the Executive Board – The spoken word applies – _____________________________________________________________________________________ Dear shareholders, Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and a warm welcome to our 2021 Annual General Meeting. For the second time, our shareholders’ meeting is taking place in an all-virtual format. When we got together for our first online meeting a year ago, we were in the middle of the first lockdown. The COVID- 19 pandemic continues to mean restrictions around the world. Looking back, 2020 asked a lot of us all. And for Beiersdorf, too, it was a challenging year. But it was not a lost year for us. On the contrary: We announced one year ago that we were not only determined to keep impressing consumers with our products, but would also do everything we could to enable Beiersdorf to emerge from the crisis in a stronger position than before. Despite the headwind, that is exactly what we have done. We have even stepped up investment in our future. The coronavirus has clearly demonstrated to us that many changes in our business are happening much faster than we originally anticipated. We have capitalized on this momentum, achieving significant progress in all our strategic focus areas in 2020: First: We responded swiftly to the crisis, demonstrating great agility and shouldering responsibility. Second: We have created additional innovations, very successfully introduced new products in all markets and gained market share in many countries as a result. Third: We significantly increased investment in e-commerce and digital dialogue with customers – boosting our online business in the Consumer Business Segment by 50%.
