The term is not widely known, but many will recognize the names of companies like Bosch, Bertelsmann, Carlsberg, Hershey, Rolex, Investor or Tata Sons, which are owned by foundations or equivalent entities - stiftungen, trusts, fonde, stichtingen etcetera - whose names reflect their legal and national origins.  Although enterprise foundations have been around for more than a century, they have recently attracted attention as embodiments of the purpose-driven company advocated by Colin Mayer, the British Academy, the World Economic Forum, George Serafeim and others. Many foundations are non-profits without a personal profit motive, which sets them aside from other corporations. Instead, they are legally bound by their purpose, which is typically to secure the longevity and independence of the companies that they own and to contribute to society through philanthropy. As perpetuities which cannot be dissolved, they are long-term owners. However, not all enterprise foundations are equally idealistic. Some have strong ties to the founding family and continue to support its descendants. Others similarly have ties to the government organizations, cooperatives or associations that helped establish them. This book will delve into the motivations and circumstances resulting in these fascinating divergences.  Enterprise foundation law differs greatly around the world. Very few countries, like Denmark, have codified civil and tax law on the topic. Some - such as, until recently, the US - have effectively banned them. Others, like Germany, seek to limit foundation involvement in the underlying businesses. The tax treatment of foundations also varies considerably. Clearly there is much to be learned by mapping and analyzing the diversity here.  This book provides an overview of enterprise foundation law in six European countries - Germany, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland and Italy - which all host a number of important foundation-owned companies. A chapter on the US discusses to what extent enterprise foundations are permissible in the US. The book provides answers to the following questions on the subject: - Does foundation law allow enterprise foundations? If yes, with what qualifications? - Are enterprise foundations commonly used? What are the reasons for their popularity or lack of it? - What rules are in place regarding the purpose a foundation must have? Does running an enterprise alone suffices as a purpose for a foundation? - Does the law impose specific rules on foundation governance? - Are enterprise foundations subject to supervision by a public body? - To what extent are foundation enterprises favoured by the tax system?  This book is written by prominent law professors from seven different legal systems. A final, concluding chapter compares foundation law in the seven nations. Although all countries permit enterprise foundations in some forms, Enterprise Foundation Law in a Comparative Perspective demonstrates that great differences can be found in the relevant civil and tax laws, which influence their prevalence and governance.","brand":"Intersentia Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48742008717655,"sku":"9781839703065","price":71.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781839703065.jpg?v=1720059659"},{"product_id":"business-law-in-ireland-9781905536771","title":"Business Law in Ireland","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEstablished author Anthony Thuillier, barrister-at-law, has teamed up with Catherine MacDaid, barrister-at-law, to pen a new book designed specifically for students of business law, entitled Business Law in Ireland and part of the successful 'Core d104 Series'.

Die alliierte Kartellpolitik der USA wurde eng mit der Frage nach deutscher Souveränität und deutschem Wirtschaftssystem verknüpft.

However, historical attempts to solve the problem of natural monopolies ranged between two extremes. On the one hand there was the government regulation of private companies in the U.S., and on the other hand there was government provision or nationalization of companies in Germany and most of continental Europe. At the interface between legal and economic history, this volume, the result of a German-American conference, focuses on the regulation of natural monopolies in network industries such as railways, energy or telecommunications. It analyzes constitutional and legal frameworks and investigates the development of markets and the political influence exerted by market participants. All historical moments lead to broader questions about regulation in its cultural-historical context, including the general principles underlying public regulatory policy in law, economics and society - as well as existing path dependences. Hence, the volume provides a transnational and intercultural dialogue about the different characteristics and cultural interpretations of markets and market economies as well as their roles in society.","brand":"JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889072353623,"sku":"9783161522482","price":90.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783161522482.jpg?v=1722552559"},{"product_id":"corporate-governance-9788120348936","title":"Corporate Governance","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncreased globalization heightens business competition, highlighting the crucial role of good corporate governance.

Cioffi argues that the highly politicized reform of corporate governance law has reshaped power relations within the public corporation in favor of financial interests, contributed to the profound crises of contemporary capitalism, and eroded its political foundations. Analyzing the origins of pro-shareholder and pro-financial market reforms in the United States and Germany during the past two decades, Cioffi unravels a double paradox: the expansion of law and the regulatory state at the core of the financially driven neoliberal economic model and the surprising role of Center Left parties in championing the interests of shareholders and the financial sector. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince the early 1990s, changes in law to alter the structure of the corporation and financial marketstwo institutional pillars of modern capitalismhighlight the contentious regulatory politics that reshaped the legal architecture of national corporate governance regimes and\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a number of years, comparative corporate governance research has attempted to explain how politics influence the nature and evolution of corporate governance (CG) regimes.

Cioffi draws our attention to the importance of 'regulatory politics' in an era where legal density tends to increase.

In recent years a new legal structure has emerged, the \"Benefit Corporation\" or \"Public Benefit Corporation,\" which helps organizations make this ethical vision a legally authorized and protected reality. Companies like Patagonia, Kickstarter, Warby Parker, Danone North America, Allbirds, and King Arthur Baking have become benefit corporations to help advance both their business and their broader mission. Rather than narrowly maximizing profits, they consider their businesses' impacts on employees, customers, suppliers, the environment and others. The goal of benefit corporations like these is to foster a new, more humane, and sustainable capitalism by pursuing both profits \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e mission.

Dorff also covers the weaknesses of benefit corporations, arguing that the enforcement mechanisms around benefit corporations are currently too weak to prevent \"purpose washing.\" With examples from top companies, the book shows mission-driven leaders, board members, and advisors how to use the benefit corporation structure to make the world a better place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Michael Dorff's fascinating new book is essential reading for anyone interested in learning about this newer type of corporate entity that was created to help organizations balance purpose with profit.\"—Michael J.

How will the framework change with the Internet of Things (IoT)? This book provides comprehensive answers to these questions.   For over two decades, connectivity standards have been the subject of litigation and controversy around the globe. Now, with the introduction of 5G and the emergence of the world of connected objects, or the IoT, the licensing framework for SEPs is becoming even more contentious. In order to bring clarity to the debate, this book analyses and explains key components of a fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) licence for SEPs; clarifies the economic, policy and market background of SEP disputes; examines the interrelated application of contract, patent and competition laws; and describes the approaches by courts and regulators in the EU, US and the UK. Importantly, the book also assesses how the experience from the smartphone and ICT industries can be applied in a new environment of the IoT, and considers what needs to be changed in the future SEP licensing landscape.  The book provides a holistic coverage of SEP licensing issues in an attempt to reduce uncertainty within this highly complex and technical area, and will be useful to practitioners, policy makers, SMEs and large technology companies in the IoT, as well as academics interested in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI.
