Rall, W., 2000, pp. 71-95). As a result of this development organisations in the different industries are increasingly concentrating (Brühl, V., 2003, pp. 274-278). Among other industries, also the pharmaceutical industry is highly influenced by the above mentioned trend, reflected by the increasing number of mergers and acquisitions (M&A's) in the pharmaceutical industry, which is illustrated in the following figure. Figure 1:The present assignment is going to evaluate the reasons and consequences of M&A's within the pharmaceutical industry by using the sanofi-aventis merger as an example. First of all, the recent history of sanofi-aventis is briefly described. The third part will describe the reasons and consequences of mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical industry by describing the challenges the pharmaceutical branch is confronted with and the respective motives of and results from M&A activities. Finally, the major findings are summarised and conclusions will be derived.2. History of sanofi-aventisFollowing the company homepage of sanofi-aventis (20071), the year 1999 has been very im-portant because of two reasons. First of all, Sanofi took over the Synthelabo Holding GmbH and changed its company name to Sanofi-Synthelabo. Furthermore, Hoechst merged with Rhône-Poulenc, a French chemical and pharmaceutical organisation in order to form the new company Aventis, with its legal seat in Strassbourgh (.).

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: (4) good, University of Pécs (International PhD Program), course: Business Economics, language: English, abstract: A recent study of Kienbaum Human Resource Consultancy analysed the development of sal-ary increases of Top Managers in the past 30 year. (Author unknown, 20071, p.23). The result: The income of Top Managers in the 100 biggest German stock companies increased on aver-age from 1976 till 2005 from EUR 225,000 to EUR 1,8 millions, representing a compound annual growth rate of 7.45%. [.] Salaries like the ones from the previous illustration, as well as big premium packages are worldwide a subject of criticism among investors. Even in the United States, some of the so-called 'Fat Cats' are already seen as shysters (Eberle, M. Heilmann, D. Fockenbrock, D., 2007, p.15). Being rich and having a high income is part of the American Dream and as such not a big subject of jealousy. However, the Americans do also appreciate fairness, which is the reason why many Americans react allergically to such high incomes, especially when they assume, that the income doesn't match with achievements of those receiving the money. Un-der consideration of the accounting scandals in the previous years (e.g. Enron), high rates of unemployment and poor wage agreements, the income level of top managers has to become in line with their achievements and results (Riecke, T. 2007, p.2). The present assignment will discuss the potential problems between owners and managers of organisation and how gaps between the specific interests can be closed. The following part will lay the theoretical foundation, by highlighting the Principal-Agent Theory. Part three of this assignment will evaluate approaches of how the already mentioned gap can be closed. By doing so, special attention will be paid to share-ownership programmes. Finally, the author of this assignment will summarise the findings and draw his conclusions.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 5 (excellent), University of Pécs (International PhD Program), course: Management I, language: English, abstract: Nearly all managers seek to improve the bottom line of their business in different ways. After off shoring of production facilities and outsourcing of processes, the Shared Services approach has heavily been discussed in previous years. With regard to Bergeron, the Shared Service business model can be defined as follows: ¿Shared Services is a collaborative strategy in which a subsets of existing business functions is concentrated into a new, semi-autonomous business unit that has a management structure designed to promote efficiency, value generation, cost savings, and improved service for internal customer of the parent corporation, like a business competing in the open market.¿ Following Wißkirchen, organisations try to achieve in general the following objectives via the implementation of Shared Services: Cost reduction due to economies of scale and scope, based on the standardisation and accumulation of internal processes in one unit The parent company can concentrate on the core of the business Creation, expansion and maintaining of process know-how Services are charged by transfer prices and are put into competition to external service providers So-called service level agreements exactly define what the parent company can expect. Hence, by implementing Shared Services, the back office functions, such as finance, accounting, controlling, human resources, regulatory affairs, etc. are becoming a strategic driver. The present assignment proposes a change management strategy, in order to overcome resistance to change, implement a new system and take the organisation back to equilibrium by referring to some of the basic models of management. Where appropriate, change management tools are recommended which might be used in order to make the right decisions at the right time.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 36 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 5 (excellent), University of Pécs (International PhD Program), course: Marketing I, language: English, abstract: Johnston and Clark (2001, p.3) point out, that everybody is everyday coming several times into contact with service operations. Following Bruhn (1993, p. 781), highly developed economies can be characterised by an over proportional and strong growth of the service sec-tor. Evidence to this statement can be given evidence looking at the statistics in different countries. For example: In 2005, 72% of all employees in the Federal Republic of Germany had been employed in the service sector, representing an increase of 13%-points compared to 1991 (Statistisches Bundesamt, 2007, p. 291).The before mentioned development, as well as the dynamic of service sector in itself, has lead to an increasing interest in the special problems of service marketing (Rust and Chung, 2006, pp.560-561). The present essay will explore particularities regarding the marketing mix in service operations. Therefore, first of all the most important terms such as service, service marketing and marketing instruments will be defined. In the following, the 7P¿s of the mar-keting mix for service operations under consideration of the characteristics of services will be examined. Finally, the most important findings and interactions will be summarised and con-clusions will be derived.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. (Adam Smith, 2007)In order to overcome what Adam Smith called a 'conspiracy against the public', countries or groups of countries, such as the European Union, make use of the various instruments of competition policy. Through this, the state defines the 'laws of the game' and how a breach of such rules will be sanctioned.The present assignments will explore the measures in the area of competition policy taken by the Republic of Bulgaria. In order to do so, this assignment is divided into four parts. Follow-ing this introduction, restraints of competition, the objectives of competition policy and finally the term competition policy are defined. The third and main part of this assignment will focus on competition policy in Bulgaria. It will start with a brief historical and economical review of Bulgaria, leading over to the development of the national competition policy, mainly after the fall of the 'iron curtain' and explore the actual application of the corresponding legislations. Finally, the most important findings and interactions will be summarised and conclusions will be derived.2. Definitions2.1. Restraints on competitionWith regard to Olten (1998, pp. 155-156), there are three major types of strategies (.).
