  • 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.

  • Telephone Talking to Your Neighbor Hasn’T Always Been As Easy As Picking up the Receiver
    INVENTIONS The Telephone Talking to your neighbor hasn’t always been as easy as picking up the receiver BY CATHERINE V.O. HOFFBERGER “Mr. Watson, come in here. I need you!” These historic words are as recognizable as Martin Luther King Jr.’s inspiring “I Have a Dream” and John F. Kennedy’s philosophical “Ask not what your country can do for you— ask what you can do for your country.” Uttered by one Alexander Graham Bell on March 7, 1876, this quote is remem- bered not for its eloquence or effect, but for what it represents: the invention of that great tool of everyday life, the Telephone. Bell, born in Scotland to a deaf mother in 1847, followed the professional footsteps of his father, uncle and grandfa- ther, all professors of elocution (the study of speaking). Young “Aleck,” a passionate elocutionist, specialized in teaching speech to the deaf. Telephony, the science of producing sound (‘phono’) electrically over distance (‘tele’), was the rage among Three weeks later, Mr. Watson famously heard Bell sum- 19th-century inventors.

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
