  • 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

  • Response: Just Eat Takeaway.Com N. V
    NON- CONFIDENTIAL JUST EAT TAKEAWAY.COM Submission to the CMA in response to its request for views on its Provisional Findings in relation to the Amazon/Deliveroo merger inquiry 1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 1. In line with the Notice of provisional findings made under Rule 11.3 of the Competition and Markets Authority ("CMA") Rules of Procedure published on the CMA website, Just Eat Takeaway.com N.V. ("JETA") submits its views on the provisional findings of the CMA dated 16 April 2020 (the "Provisional Findings") regarding the anticipated acquisition by Amazon.com BV Investment Holding LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. ("Amazon") of certain rights and minority shareholding of Roofoods Ltd ("Deliveroo") (the "Transaction"). 2. In the Provisional Findings, the CMA has concluded that the Transaction would not be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition ("SLC") in either the market for online restaurant platforms or the market for online convenience groceries ("OCG")1 on the basis that, as a result of the Coronavirus ("COVID-19") crisis, Deliveroo is likely to exit the market unless it receives the additional funding available through the Transaction. The CMA has also provisionally found that no less anti-competitive investors were available. 3. JETA considers that this is an unprecedented decision by the CMA and questions whether it is appropriate in the current market circumstances. In its Phase 1 Decision, dated 11 December 20192, the CMA found that the Transaction gives rise to a realistic prospect of an SLC as a result of horizontal effects in the supply of food platforms and OCG in the UK.

  • Notice of De-Designation of Ocado Group Plc from the Groceries (Supply Chain Practices) Market Investigation Order 2009
    21 January 2020 Notice of De-designation of Ocado Group plc from the Groceries (Supply Chain Practices) Market Investigation Order 2009 Introduction and background 1. The Competition Commission (CC) published its final report on the Market Investigation into the supply of groceries in the UK on 30 April 2008.1 The CC found adverse effects on competition arising in several areas including the potential exercise of buyer power in relation to suppliers of grocery retailers, and concerns regarding the use of restrictive covenants in concentrated local markets. To address the first of these concerns, the CC implemented the Groceries (Supply Chain Practices) Market Investigation Order 2009 (the Order). The Order listed, at Schedule 2, the initial ten groceries retailers to whom the Order applied. Subsequently, in November 2018, two further retailers were designated, including Ocado Group plc.2 2. Pursuant to a corporate restructuring, in particular the creation of a joint venture with M&S Holdings Ltd, Ocado Group plc no longer carries out the retail supply of Groceries in the UK such that it no longer meets the £1bn turnover threshold for designation under the Order and nor does it have sole control over the Ocado entity which does meet the threshold. The retail activities are now carried out by Ocado Retail Ltd and on 16 October 2019, the CMA designated Ocado Retail Ltd under the Order. 3. Following that designation, a review under s162 of the Enterprise Act 2002 was launched to determine whether Ocado Group plc should cease to be a designated retailer under the Order. 4.
