Purpose - This study examines the impact of company ownership nature and of the dual role of CEO and board chair on R & D investment intensity, as well as the moderating effect of this dual role. Most previous research focused on the impact of the dual role of CEO and board chair on firm performance. Design/methodology/approach - This study uses A-share companies listed on the Shenzhen and Shanghai stock exchanges in China from 2008 to 2017. The univariate and the multivariate regression analysis were hired In order to analyze the data. Findings - The results show that there is a significant negative relationship between state-owned companies and R & D investment intensity. In addition, there is a significant positive relationship between the dual role and R & D investment intensity. The effect of state ownership on R & D investment intensity is more negative when CEO-board chair duality exists. This means that in case of state-owned companies, if CEO serves as the board chair, the propensity to invest in R&D is further reduced. Research implications or Originality - This is a pioneering study that considers the joint effect of state-owned companies and dual role on R & D investment intensity in the Chinese economy.

현대에서의 부가가치 창출의 원천은 물자(Material)에서 사람(Man)의 부가가치 창출력으로 변천되어 왔으며, 생산수단의 소유가 특정의 지주, 자본가에서 부가가치 창출능력을 보유한 사람에게로 전환되었다. 기업의 노동자가 기업의 부가가치를 현저히 증대시켰을 경우에 단순한 이익에 참여하는 이익분배제나 성과인센티브제를 넘어서는 참여제도의 도입에 대한 검토가 필요하며, 자본 편중의 문제를 해소하고 자본주의의 안정적인 발전을 위한 수단으로서 우리사주제의 도입은 필요하다. 우리사주제는 노동자로 하여금 우리사주조합을 통하여 해당 우리사주조합이 설립된 주식회사의 주식을 취득·보유하게 함으로써 노동자의 경제·사회적 지위향상과 노사협력 증진을 도모함을 목적으로 하고 있으나, 현실은 우리사주제가 노동자에 대한 보호가 미흡하여 목적한 바를 달성하지 못하고 있다. 우리사주의 취득이 복지의 관점에서 노동자의 우리사주 보유에 대한 복지영역에 대한 부분은 자본시장의 논리보다는 사회복지적 차원에 대한 것으로 적극적인 정부의 지원이 포함되어야 하고, 투자의 관점에서는 우리사주는 노동자들이 주식시장에서 주식을 소유하는 적극적인 투자의지와 전문적인 노력을 경주하는 것이 아니며, 따라서 노동자 우리사주를 취득하는 것을 '투자'로 보아서 투자자보호를 위한 규정을 적용하는 것은 타당하지 않다고 볼 것이다. 따라서 우리사주 취득시의 지원 및 규제완화방안으로 1. 세제지원과 같은 간접지원 방식에서 탈피하여 직접지원의 확대, 2. 우리나라의 우리사주조합이 사단의 성격으로 의제되고 있어, '투자'라는 측면에서 조합방식이 아닌 다양한 관리라는 측면에서 그 효과성이 낮은 실정으로 투자기구의 형태 다양성 추진과, 3. 회사 발행주식의 1%와 액면가 3억원 중 적은 금액이상의 주식을 보유한 사람은 대주주로 분류하여 우리사주의 조합원이 될 수 없도록 하고 있는 조합원 자격의 완화, 우리사주와 조합기금의 관리상의 위험 축소방안으로 장기간에 걸친 예탁에서 우리사주조합만이 기금을 관리하고, 우리사주 예탁기간 종료 후 우리사주를 조합 또는 회사가 관리하고 있으나 각 노동자별로 분할관리를 할 수 있도록 하여야 한다. 우리사주와 기금의 활용도 제고 측면에서 1. 우리사주는 예탁기간 중에는 대여를 하지 못하게 하고 있으나 엄격한 제한하에 대여를 허용함으로써 수익성을 향상시키고, 2. 사내복지기금의 활용용도를 우리사주의 손실보전에 사용할 수 있도록 하는 것과 활용도 제고와 우리사주의 환매제도 개선측면에서 비상장법인의 우리사주제의 활성화를 위하여 비상장회사의 환매의무를 규정하는 것 등의 개선방안 수립이 필요하다.

Background: Recent research on occupational injuries in companies has faced difficulties in obtaining representative data, leading to studies relying on surveys or case studies. Moreover, it is difficult to find studies on how a company's industry characteristics affect occupational injuries. This study aims to address these limitations. Methods: We collected 11 years of disclosure data from 1,247 listed companies in the Korean stock market and combined it with their occupational injury histories collected by the Republic of Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) to build a dataset. We attempted to analyze a linear panel model by dividing the dataset into manufacturing, construction, and other industries. Results: The higher proportion of full-time employees and better job skills correlate with lower occupational injuries in other industries. The wage increase reduces occupational injuries in manufacturing and other industries, but the substitution effect produces the opposite outcome in construction. Also, foreign ownership and credit ratings increase effectively reduce occupational injuries mainly in the manufacturing industry. Conclusion: Our results suggest that in explaining the relationship between corporate characteristics and occupational injuries, it is necessary to consider the nature of the industry more closely, and in particular, employment and labor policies for preventing occupational injuries need to be selectively applied according to industry. In addition, to improve the limitations and increase the usability of the research results, further detailed studies are needed in the future.

인수합병(LBO)을 실행한 기업중 외부차입이 큰 경우에는, 일정기간 후에 인수비용을 충당하기 위해 차입한 막대한 자금을 상환하기 위해 일반 기업공모나 제3자 기업매각을 시도할 수 있다. 일반 기업공모는 소유지분 공개를 통한 공기업으로의 전환이고, 제3자 기업매각은 소유구조상 사기업 형태의 지속을 의미한다. 따라서 외부차입에 의한 인수합병 기업의 소유구조 선택은 최초공모주(IPO) 발행을 통한 공기업으로의 전환인가 또는 제3자 기업매각을 통한 사기업 형태의 유지인가에 대한 의사결정의 문제이다. 국내에서는 외부차입에 의한 인수합병(LBO) 사례가 매우 적다. 그러나 해외에서는 외부차입에 의한 인수합병(LBO) 거래가 폭발적으로 증가하여 오고 있고, 이러한 거래가 금융시장에 미치는 영향 또한 지대하다. 본 연구는 미국의 기업자료를 대상으로 기업의 경영자가 외부차입을 통한 인수합병을 실행한 기업의 소유구조 선택에 어떠한 요인들이 영향을 미치는가를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 인수합병의 규모, 호황 불황 등 시장 상황 등이 차입을 통해 인수합병을 실행한 LBO 기업이 계속 사기업 형태로 유지할지 또는 기업공개를 시도하여 공기업으로 전환할지 하는 소유구조의 선택 의사결정에 중대한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to investigate the types and forms of various marketing activities actually used in pharmaceutical companies and to empirically analyze the impact of these marketing activities on sales. Design/methodology/approach - This study categorize five years' worth of marketing activity data from a foreign pharmaceutical company 'A' which operates in South Korea into five categories. Multiple regression analysis and interaction effects are employed for data analysis. Findings - First, CRM calls, Detail calls, GP, and Web events have a positive impact on sales, but SoV does not show significant differences. Second, in the comparison between HQ1 and HQ2 based on patent ownership, Detail calls and Web events had a stronger impact on sales in HQ2, where the patent period is still in effect, compared to HQ1. However, SoV showed no difference between HQ1 and HQ2. Research implications or Originality - First, Detail Calls are more effective for drugs with active patents, while CRM Calls work better for drugs with expired patents. This emphasizes the need to customize call strategies based on patent status. Second, the significant impact of Web Events on sales in HQ2 compared to HQ1 suggests that online information access is crucial, indicating that customer receptivity varies based on product nature. Third, these insights, derived from data analysis, call for a shift in pharmaceutical marketing analysis methods away from traditional approaches. Finally, this study holds significance as one of the first empirical analyses using actual marketing data from pharmaceutical companies in South Korea.

In a seminal judgment of November 2002 (Case C-476/98) relating to the compatibility with Community laws of the 'nationality clause' in the 1996 amending protocol to the 1955 U.S.-German Air Services Agreement, the European Court of Justice(ECJ) decided that the provision constituted a measure of an intrinsically discriminatory nature and was thus contrary to the principle of national treatment established under Art. 52 of the EC Treaty. The Court, rejecting bluntly the German government' submissions relying on public policy grounds(Art. 56, EC Treaty), seemed content to declare and rule that the protocol provision requiring a contracting state party to ensure substantial ownership and effective control by its nationals of its designated airlines had violated the requirement of national treatment reserved for other Community Members under the salient Treaty provision. The German counterclaims against the Commission, although tantalizing not only from the perusal of the judgment but from the perspective of international air law, were nonetheless invariably correct and to the point. For such a clause has been justified to defend the 'fundamental interests of society from a serious threat' that may result from granting operating licenses or necessary technical authorizations to an airline company of a third country. Indeed, the nationality clause has been inserted in most of the liberal bilaterals to allow the parties to enforce their own national laws and regulations governing aviation safety and security. Such a clause is not targeted as a device for discriminating against the nationals of any third State. It simply acts as the minimum legal safeguards against aviation risk empowering a party to take legal control of the designated airlines. Unfortunately, the German call for the review of such a foremost objective and rationale underlying the nationality clause landed on the deaf ears of the Court which appeared quite happy not to take stock of the potential implications and consequences in its absence and of the legality under international law of the 'national treatment' requirement of Community laws. Again, while US law limits foreign shareholders to 24.9% of its airlines, the European Community limits non-EC ownership to 49%, precluding any ownership and effective control by foreign nationals of EC airlines, let alone any foreign takeover and merger. Given this, it appears inconsistent and unreasonable for the EC to demand, $vis-{\grave{a}}-vis$ a non-EC third State, national treatment for all of its Member States. The ECJ's decision was also wrongly premised on the precedence of Community laws over international law, and in particular, international air law. It simply is another form of asserting and enforcing de facto extraterritorial application of Community laws to a non-EC third country. Again, the ruling runs counter to an established rule of international law that a treaty does not, as a matter of principle, create either obligations or rights for a third State. Aside from the legal problems, the 'national treatment' may not be economically justified either, in light of the free-rider problem and resulting externalities or inefficiency. On the strength of international law and economics, therefore, airlines of Community Members other than the designated German and U.S. air carriers are neither eligible for traffic rights, nor entitled to operate between or 'free-ride' on the U.S. and German points. All in all and in all fairness, the European Court's ruling was nothing short of an outright condemnation of established rules and principles of international law and international air law. Nor is the national treatment requirement justified by the economic logic of deregulation or liberalization of aviation markets. Nor has the requirement much to do with fair competition and increased efficiency.
