Executive summary In May 2015, Chinese state planners launched another initiative to promote and support the development of advanced industries and technologies. It is clear that this latest attempt is not to be achieved through measures that will∙establish∙a∙market∙economy.∙Instead,∙government∙officials∙have∙tasked∙themselves∙with∙steering∙development∙ and have handpicked the industries that they believe will drive China’s economy in the future. Titled China Manufacturing 2025 (CM2025), the plan sets ambitious goals for developing ten industries.1 The numbers attached to this initiative are staggering. In total, the Chinese central and local governments have announced hundreds of billions of euros of funding in the form of subsidies, funds and other channels of support. There is no doubt that China’s continuous, growing investments in research and development (R&D), and attempts to encourage∙its∙domestic∙industry∙to∙strive∙for∙quality∙and∙efficiency∙have∙a∙great∙deal∙of∙merit.∙However,∙the∙broad∙set∙ of policy tools that are being employed to facilitate CM2025’s development are highly problematic.2 This has already created problems for both China’s economy and European business. Under recently passed legislation in the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry, for example, European business is facing intense pressure to turn over advanced technology in exchange for near-term market access; in the field of industrial robotics, government subsidies are contributing to overcapacity in the low- and mid-tiers of China’s market; and in the information technology

With data on 123–135 Japanese electronics/electrical machinery makers, we use a dyad panel regression methodology to address hypotheses drawn largely from em- beddedness theory on how the firms’ horizontal and vertical keiretsu business group affiliations and prior alliance networks supported and constrained partner choice in new R&D (innovation) and nonR&D (implementation) domestic economy alliances. We find that in the first half of our series (1985–1991; the “preburst” period), keiretsu served as infrastructure for new strategic alliances that by guest on September 11, 2016 had both innovation (R&D) and implementation (nonR&D) goals.

  • Hard Core Cartels 2000
    Hard Core Cartels 2000 This report examines issues related to attacking cartels and market liberalization as well as issues related to implementing the 1998 OECD Council Recommendation Concerning Effective Action against Hard Core Cartels. The OECD anti-cartel programme began with the publication in 1998 of the OECD Council Recommendation Concerning Effective Action against Hard Core Cartels. The programme is an important illustration of how government enforcement of framework laws can protect against abuses by powerful enterprises. It is also important in calling global attention to a problem that cannot be addressed effectively without increased co- operation from the many non- Members with competition laws and the numerous others that are considering them. Finally, international cartels often have particularly harmful effects on less developed countries, and the benefits to those countries of more effective anti-cartel enforcement and of increased outreach can help promote co-operation on other issues of global concern.

MD. YUNUS ALI ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to broaden our understanding of the determinants of joint venture performance in the context of a developing country. After a comprehensive review of past studies is presented, highlighting the focus of contemporary research on international joint venture, a conceptual model is presented for studying the determinants of joint venture performance. A number of hypotheses which focuses on the relationships between joint venture performance measures and various organisational, strategic, managerial, industry-related, and country-related factors are developed. The impact of these factors on joint venture success and stabiUty is then analysed using multivariate analysis.

    The Value of Political Connections: Evidence from Korean Chaebols Myung Sub, Choi Bachelor of Business in Finance, Queensland University of Technology Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business (Research) The School of Economics and Finance Faculty of Business Queensland University of Technology Brisbane, Australia March 2014 Keywords Political Connections Politically Connected Firm Politically Connected Business Group Spill Over Effect Business Group Chaebol Family Networks Korea ii Abbreviations CAR Cumulative Abnormal Return FISL Financial Industry Structure Law KIS Korea Investor Service KOSDAQ Korea Securities Dealers Automated Quotation KOSPI Korea Composite Stock Price Index KSE Korea Stock Exchange KFTC Korea Fair Trade Commission iii Abstract This thesis examines the value of political connections for business groups by constructing a unique dataset that allows us to identify the form and extent of the connections. Results show firms’ membership to family-controlled business groups (South Korean chaebol) play a key role in determining the value of political connections. Politically connected chaebol experience substantial price increases following the establishment of the connection than other firms, but the reverse is found for other (non-family-controlled) connected business groups. The results are robust when we define political connection at the business group level, suggesting that there is a spill over in the value of connections from the connected firms to other affiliate

    WT/DS44/R Page 477 XI. ANNEX ON TRANSLATION PROBLEMS A. LIST OF TRANSLATION ISSUES Issue 1: "taisaku". United States: "countermeasure" (used in many contexts e.g., as liberalization, distribution, or promotion countermeasures). Japan: In many contexts, the Japanese word "taisaku" should be more appropriately translated as "measure" or "policy in response to." The English word "countermeasure" has a negative connotation not conveyed by the Japanese original. For example, an expression such as "shou-enerugi (energy-saving) taisaku" is quite common in Japanese, and it would be awkward to translate it into "energy saving countermeasure. ... "] (fn. 11, p. 19 of Japan's First Submission). Issue 2: MITI's distribution policies as described in the First Interim Report, (US Ex. 64- 6, p. 8). United States: "The First Interim Report identified a central theme that would underlie MITI's distribution policy: the need to limit competition in distribution in order to create stability and high prices for the benefit of domestic manufacturers" (para. 78 of the US First Submission). Japan: "In fact, the [first interim] report notes that only establishment of appropriate competition conditions would stimulate the modernization of distribution mechanism. Moreover, the report draws no connection at all between competitive conditions in the distribution sector and the manufacturing sector. Instead, the report noted that vertical integration did not necessarily mean that distribution systems would be rationalized." (fn. 88, p. 45 of Japan's First Submission).

  • Chinese Investment in U.S. Aviation Arthur Chan, Andrew Scobell Andrew Arthur Chan, Chad J
    Chinese Investment in U.S. Aviation InvestmentChinese U.S. in This report assesses Chinese investment in U.S. aviation—the manufacturing of commercial aircraft. It provides context for China’s market demand for aviation products, an update on China’s aviation industrial policies, and the state of their aviation industry. The report also assesses the implications of resulting technology transfer on U.S. national security and aviation industry competitiveness. While China continues to push the envelope with investments in U.S. aviation, they have not significantly expanded it beyond general aviation investments. While Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, a majority Chinese government– owned and–controlled enterprise, is moving forward with the production of the ARJ21 and the development of the C919 with numerous U.S. partners, Chinese investors, including state-owned enterprises, have opportunistically acquired U.S. general aviation companies that fall outside export controls and U.S. foreign- investment regulations, as general aviation technologies are broadly available.

  • China Inc.” to “CCP Inc.”: a New Paradigm for Chinese State Capitalism
    FEBRUARY 2021 From “China Inc.” to “CCP Inc.”: A new paradigm for Chinese state capitalism BY JUDE BLANCHETTE This paper was originally published on the China Leadership Monitor website and is part of a larger and ongoing stream of research at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) to map China’s state-capitalist system. Important new reforms have Chinese Communist Party (CCP) General Secretary Xi Jinping has overseen a drastically expanded the reach of the significant transformation of China’s domestic economic system, undergirded by Chinese state into the economy and important new reforms that have drastically expanded the reach of the Chinese Chinese firms. state into the economy and Chinese firms. This has included the integration of CCP organizations into public and private firms, the regulatory shift of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) from “managing enterprises” to “managing capital,” and the role of government guidance funds in driving industrial policy. The overall change in China’s economic and regulatory structure – and the political control wielded by the CCP – combined with the Xi era blending of the public and private, and market and planning, is of such a proportion that it marks a new paradigm in China’s development trajectory. Aside from Deng Xiaoping, no other modern Chinese leader has placed as much emphasis on improving the overall resiliency of the systems and institutions that underpin national power as has Xi Jinping. In addition, Xi, even more than Deng, has expended significant effort to construct a system to balance the evolving economic realities of global integration with the foundational political imperatives of keeping the CCP in power.

Goetzmann, Elisabeth Koll URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c10269 2 The History of Corporate Ownership in China State Patronage, Company Legislation, and the Issue of Control William Goetzmann and Elisabeth Köll Introduction In the last fifteen years, China’s market liberalization and enterprise re- forms have triggered stunning economic growth and privatization initia- tives in all areas of Chinese society. After decades of socialist economic policies controlling the market through state-owned enterprises, China has begun to experiment with corporate enterprise—first through the issuance of minority ownership shares in state-owned enterprises and the creation of share markets—and more recently with the development of legal and regulatory frameworks that seek to protect shareholder rights and insure managerial responsibility. One feature that continues to distinguish mod- ern Chinese corporations is that they typically preserve a joint public- private ownership structure that, in fact, also characterized some of China’s first large-scale domestic companies. As Chinese enterprise moves toward more complete privatization, using and adapting foreign models to its purposes and taking what is generally characterized as a gradualist ap- William Goetzmann is the Edwin J.
