Typology and Dynamics of Financial-Industrial Groups Operating in the Czech Republic and Slovakia

The contribution of this paper is threefold. Firstly, it develops a typology of corporate group development in terms of the pattern of corporate group formation in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It identifies briefly three important types of corporate groups--industrial groups （type I groups）, pyramid-like （type II） groups, and financial （type IIl or FIGs） groups. Using original typology for corporate groups, the paper examines development trajectory of some of the biggest FIGs and shows what effects their existence have in the two economies. Finally, some lessons resulting from this corporate group-related type of ownership concentration for other pre-transitive countries are mentioned.

领导风格与文化管控的有效性实证研究

以我国131家金融业集团为研究对象,实证检验文化管控是否有效这一理论界悬而未决的问题,并揭示领导风格对文化管控有效性的影响。研究发现:(1)集团文化管控与子公司绩效之间存在显著的倒U型关系,且环境不确定性对上述关系具有显著的正向调节作用,表明适度的文化管控是一种有效的集团管控模式;(2)领导风格对文化管控的有效性具有显著影响,变革型领导风格有利于文化管控有效性的发挥,而交易型领导风格不利于文化管控的有效性。
