A cost-minimization approach to the international transfer of HRM/IR practices: Anglo-Saxon multinationals in the Federal Republic of Germany

Matthias Schmitt; Dieter Sadowski

The existence of host-country and country-of-origin effects is analysed by using the concept of fiscal federalism as a theoretical analogy. It is argued that multinationals try to minimize the costs of centralization and decentralization associated with cross-national personnel policy. The higher the costs of decentralization, the more likely is the existence of country-of-origin effects. The opposite holds true for increasing costs of centralization. This is tested empirically by comparing the human resource management and industrial relations (HRM/IR) practices of US and British subsidiaries operating in Germany with those of native German firms. Based on 297 valid cases, it is shown that the existence of decentralization costs is associated with country-of-origin effects in various areas of personnel management, such as the use of variable compensation, employee ownership and initial vocational training. In contrast, in the field of industrial relations (co-determination, compliance with collective bargaining), there are strong pressures to adapt to local norms, leading to host-country effects. These results indicate that a rationalistic cost-minimization approach is well suited to explaining the patterns of host- and home-country effects in regard to the HRM/IR practices of multinational enterprises.

Measuring Organizational Capital

Oliver Ludewig; Dieter Sadowski

Firms develop their organizational practices to realize returns from given and marketable resources. Implementing effective practices requires substantial up-front investment. We approximate the economic relevance of establishment-specific organizational capital by using a two-step procedure. First, we extract an establishment-specific performance differential from a within-panel estimator. Second, we explain the variation in this differential by using organizational and control variables. Our results make it possible for us to predict the contribution of organizational practices to the performance differential. We label this part of the firm-specific performance differential “organizational capital”. Our results indicate that organizational capital has a substantial impact on performance.

Organizational implementation of bibliometric indicators

Uschi Backes-Gellner; Dieter Sadowski

The article deals with the various problems of an implementation of publication indicators on a departmental level in West-German universities. The German university system relies mostly on social and informal control mechanisms. Bibliometric indicators can provide adequate information for an effective social control in such a system. However, they will only be accepted and effective if they are valid, thoroughly reliable and robust. A successful adaptation of individual goals and behaviour depends largely on the particular interests and incentives of the faculty members across various departmental arrangements.

Success and Failure of PhD Programmes: An Empirical Study of the Interplay Between Interests, Resources and Organisation

Peter Schneider; Nicole Thaller; Dieter Sadowski

On the basis of a study of 14 European departments, we analyse NPM mechanisms meant to favour a successful PhD education. Relying on the results of Multi-Value Qualitative Comparative Analysis (MVQCA), we demonstrate that only a few organisational characteristics (medium level of financial funds or a critical mass of faculty committed to PhD education in accordance with sufficient time capacities) are essential for a successful PhD education. We also demonstrate that these characteristics can be modified and provided, and that there are the right incentive structures. Competition for scientific reputation is a basic driving force for a variety of gradual organisational changes in the PhD production process often going hand in hand with financial benefits. Should the financial existence of a department depend on its research success, then disruptive organisational turn arounds can be observed. In most of our cases NPM mechanisms were not the decisive trigger for change but enhanced already existing dynamics. They made a difference only where a critical mass of a research-prone faculty was present and where organisational settings (insufficient time capacities, low research competence, low total number of PhD students or no critical mass of faculty committed to PhD education) obstruct strong efforts toward a successfully changing PhD education.

Der Stand der betriebswirtschaftlichen Arbeitsrechtsanalyse

Dieter Sadowski; Uschi Backes-Gellner

In Diskussionen zur Deregulierung des Arbeitsmarktes werden oft die Kosten regulierender, die Handlungsfreiheiten der Unternehmen einschrankender Auflagen hervorgeoben. Neuere unternehmenstheoretische Analysen weisen aber darauf hin, das Eingriffe in die Vertragsfreiheit auch Ertrage mit sich bringen, da sie in einer Welt unvollstandiger Informationen und Vertrage eine Voraussetzung fur den effizienten Einsatz der Humanressourcen darstellen konnen. Die Vorteilhaftigkeit arbeitsrechtlicher Regulierung oder Deregulierung wird damit zur empirischen Frage. Betriebswirtschaftliche Befunde zur Wirkung arbeitsrechtlicher Regelungen deuten darauf hin, das die Nachteile regulierender Eingriffe begrenzt und ihre Vorteile durchaus betrachtlich sind.

Codes of Conduct: Eine Quelle transnationalen Arbeitsrechts?

Dieter Sadowski; Kai Kühne

„Global Law Without a State“ ist der programmatische Titel eines Buches, das Gunther Teubner 1997 herausgegeben hat. Den ersten, von ihm selbst verfassten Teil uberschreibt er mit „A Self-validating Legal Discourse: ‚Global Bukowina‘: Legal Pluralism in the World Society“. Darin skizziert er, bedingt und nuanciert, aber durchaus optimistisch die Moglichkeit, dass der Rechtsbedarf internationalen Wirtschaftens, der nicht territorial gebunden ist und deswegen nicht nationalstaatlich geregelt werden kann sowie faktisch nicht durch internationale Organisationen bereitgestellt worden ist, im Wege der Selbstkonstitutionalisierung der Weltzivilgesellschaft erreicht werden konne. Zum Entstehen von Regeln und ihrer Beobachtung und damit Beachtung, anders gesagt, zur Verrechtlichung, trugen private Akteure – Nichtregierungsorganisationen im Allgemeinen, Gewerkschaften im Besonderen, Unternehmen sowie deren Verbande – wesentlich bei. Die lex mercatoria, von den Kaufleuten selbstgeschaffenes Recht im Mittelalter, sowie die lex informatica dienen ihm und anderen Theoretikern reflexiven Rechts und des Rechtspluralismus als herausragende Belege fur wirksames „Recht ohne Staat“.

Programm und Stand der betriebswirtschaftlichen Rechtsanalyse

Dieter Sadowski

Im ersten Teil wird die aktuelle politische Diskussion um das Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensrecht in die gesellschaftstheoretische Auseinandersetzung uber das Verhaltnis von Wirtschaft und Recht eingeordnet. Einer Ubersicht und Charakterisierung der Ansatze, die privatrechtlichen und die offentlichrechtlichen Institutionen der Wirtschaft einzelwirtschaftlich zu analysieren, folgen Uberlegungen zur normativen Einseitigkeit der sogenannten okonomischen Analyse des Rechts.

Scandalous Co-determination

Kai Kühne; Dieter Sadowski

We compare the academic evaluation of supervisory board co-determination in Germany with its portrayal in the mass media. According to empirical research, co-determination does not have a detrimental effect on firm performance and can thus be regarded as simply an element of corporate governance within Germany. However, a content analysis capturing characterisations of co-determination in German newspapers between 1998 and 2007 shows that this institution is depicted more and more critically in the press. There is thus a noticeable discrepancy between empirical evidence and the interpretative schemata of mass media. In this paper, we investigate the reasons for this divergence as well as its consequences.

„Personalökonomie und Personalwirtschaftslehre“ – eine Spurensuche

Dieter Sadowski

Ist die okonomische Wende in den Personalwissenschaften (auch) in der deutschsprachigen Literatur vorbereitet worden, oder handelt es sich bei diesem Perspektiven‑ und Methodenwechsel zu Beginn der neunziger Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts um eine Rezeption im Wesentlichen angelsachsischer Autoren? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage werden die wichtigsten Argumentationsfiguren der Personalokonomie benannt, die Ansichten zur Natur des Arbeitsvertrages und einer angemessenen Unternehmensverfassung der fruhen deutschsprachigen Betriebswirtschaftslehre resumierend gesichtet und schlieslich gezeigt, dass die Auseinandersetzung uber eine „verhaltenswissenschaftliche versus okonomische Orientierung der Personalwissenschaften“ obsolet ist. Zwar haben US‐amerikanische Autoren die Pionierarbeit erledigt, aber heute gedeiht die Personalokonomie in einer internationalen wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft. Wichtige institutionenokonomische Fragen allerdings sind noch zu losen.

The Interplay of New Public Governance Dimensions and Their Effects on Academic Outcomes

Peter Schneider; Dieter Sadowski

During the last two decades many European universities undertook efforts to improve their doctoral education: some earlier, some later (in particular in Germany and France); sometimes voluntarily, sometimes reacting to external sanctions. Concentrating on departments of economics, we ask for the reasons of evident differences in the success of placing PhDs in academia. We examine three groups of conjectures: differences in the “production technology” differences in the endogenous dynamics of departments differences with regard to exogenous interventions and resources.
