Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject Business economics - Operations Research, grade: B bzw. 2, ESCP Europe (Organizational Behaviour), course: Organizational Behaviour, language: English, abstract: This work deals with the way Beiersdorf's does business in Europe. It considers the German impact of this particular culture on local practices, such as the organisational structure, human resource issues, team working or employee reward systems. First we introduce you to the firm behind Nivea, a product that is well known worldwide. Beiersdorf, though a relatively small company, is present around the world and therefore worth analysing. We than picked a cultural theory to base our analysis on. We chose the cultural framework as discussed by Hofstede, which is accepted throughout the scientific world as a useful tool. We will explain what is meant by the four considered dimensions and say how the UK, Germany and France fit into this framework. Then we outline BDFs values, beliefs and norms, as integral part of the Beiersdorf culture and how they partly reflect German values. In the end we will show how these values are set into practice in general and on a day-to-day basis.

Essay from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A bzw. 1, ESCP Europe (European Business Environment), language: English, abstract: This essay describes the problematic of corporate governance systems, which, if theyare weak, distort the efficient allocation of resources, undermine opportunities on a levelplaying field and, ultimately, hinder investment and economic development. Recent highprofile scandals, financial crises and institutional failures in Russia, Asia and the UnitedStates have brought corporate governance issues to the fore in modern western, as wellas developing countries, transitional economies, and emerging markets. Firstly, I will give a definition of corporate governance and introduce the OECDPrinciples, which are the foundation of all corporate governance systems. Secondly, Idiscuss the driving forces and the importance of corporate governance. I will thenconcentrate on national differences and recent developments, where I am particularlylooking at the UK and Germany. A special chapter about the Anglo-American influencefollows and leads to the last chapter, which covers the current situation and possiblefuture effects of applied corporate governance systems in developing and transitionalcountries. The purpose of this paper is not to go deep into legal details of corporate governance,but reveal its importance for society (stakeholder), economy (corporations and capitalmarkets) and future development of emerging market economies.

Master's Thesis from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1, ESCP Europe (Department Finance), language: English, abstract: The banking sector in Europe is bound to change its shape soon. In many countries the banking sector is still highly fragmented, especially in Germany and Italy. EU Banks need to grow in size if they want to be able to compete globally with financial titans such as Citigroup. This study aims at analysing the key drivers and success factors for external growth via Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) in the European banking sector. After explaining the theoretical background of Mergers and Acquisitions (Chapter 2), the study examines the current condition of the EU banking sector followed by a more detailed view on the main markets and players (Germany, UK, France, Spain, Italy) focussing on their potential role in a future consolidation process (Chapter 3). It seems that important obstacles for consolidation have been removed and banks may indeed engage in domestic and even cross border M&A. A detailed comparison of Europe's largest banks will complement this section. By analysing paid premiums in the five key European economies, we will draw conclusions on the influence of market structure on the potential for consolidation. In Chapter 4, the Banco Sabadell - Banco Atlantico case is analysed and discussed as an example of a domestic bank merger. Emphasis is put on the logic behind the operation, performance measurement and its strategic impact. The question, if value has been created for shareholders as well as other stakeholders, will be addressed. This recent case (2004) only allows for a preliminary analysis of the success of the transaction, particularly in terms of achieved synergies versus expected synergies. The case evidences typical sources for higher synergies in domestic M&A but reveals also important sources of synergies that would apply in cross border operations. In the final conclusion (Chapter 5), the market analysis is put into perspective to recent developments and briefly compares it with the US Banking market. Key observations from the case study are summarized and finally this section aims at developing different scenarios for a future consolidation within the European banking sector.
