There are strong indications that changing capital markets have a large impact on the investment decisions of German companies. If this is true, what role does codetermination play in companies’ decisions? And how is codetermination affected by German companies’ reactions to the changes in the capital market? Codetermination might become less effective if there was a trend toward short-term investment, if companies increased their investment in financial assets, and if they concentrated on their core business instead of pursuing diversification. Empirically, the project draws on quantitative data from the 100 largest German companies and on case studies based on interviews. Project duration: January 1999 to December 2001.

MPIfG Working Paper 00/1. Cologne: Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, 2000. Online: Organizing the Firm: Corporate Governance in Germany and Japan Gregory Jackson This project examines the historical origins and contemporary transformation of corporate governance in Germany and Japan. Historically, how did Germany and Japan develop similar non-liberal corporate governance regimes relative to Anglo-Saxon models? And how has the diversity of national models evolved under the pressures of political and economic internationalization? Two sets of institutions are examined: those fostering “closed ownership” and patient capital, and those establishing rights of industrial citizenship giving employees voice in the corporation. Despite the historical strengths of the German and Japanese models, internationalization alters the capacity of states and organized social groups to shape corporate governance. Corporations now face growing constraints from financial markets that raise the question of convergence on an Anglo-Saxon model of the corporation, embodied in the concept of shareholder value. The project began in 1998 in conjunction with the MPIfG project “Germany and Japan: The Future of Nationally Embedded Capitalism in a Global Economy.” The results were submitted as a Ph.D. thesis at Columbia University (New York) in February 2001. Project duration: May 1998 to October 2001. Main project: Germany and Japan Gregory Jackson Corporate Governance in Germany and Japan: Liberalization

Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2001, 121–170 The Impact of Internationalization on the Distribution of Net Value Added of Companies Anke Hassel and Jürgen Beyer Recent literature points to the existence of a variety of institutionally embedded types of capitalism. The non-liberal German type of capitalism tends to place less emphasis on shareholder interests. While Anglo-American management is forced by the market for corporate control to maximize the returns on capital, German firms have a wider range of options and typically distribute a higher share of the net surplus to other stakeholders. Capitalist diversity is expected to come under pressure due to the internationalization of companies as competition intensifies and shareholders’ expectations about the return on their investments converge. The aim of this project is to determine whether the distribution of net value added in large German firms has changed in recent years in favor of shareholders or other stakeholder groups, and whether these changes can be related to internationalization. Several measures of internationalization are used, focusing on the development of the 100 largest German companies between 1986 and 1996. The project is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.

Extending the “varieties of capitalism” perspective by taking into account variations in welfare state structures and their impact on the different forms of contemporary capitalism, the project focused on co-variations between different welfare state regimes and particular aspects of the national political economy, especially in the area of labor relations, production and employment regimes, and financial systems. The conference held at the MPIfG in Cologne in June 1998 compared European welfare capitalisms and contrasted them with Anglo- American “uncoordinated” and Japanese “coordinated” capitalism. The results, published in the edited volume “Comparing Welfare Capitalism,” bridge these often unrelated research areas and concerns in an interdisciplinary perspective.
