    Good as Gold or Merely Glitter? Elite Board Members’ Impact on Firm Performance

    No full text
    This thesis investigates the influence of elite supervisory board members on the performance of German firms. Following the transformation of the German business landscape post-reunification, elite board members, characterized by their exceptional social capital, continue to play a crucial role. Using resource dependence theory, the study explores the link between board members’ social capital and firm performance. Leveraging a yearly ranking of the top 30 most powerful supervisory board members to identify elite members, this thesis analyses their influence on firm performance. Contrary to expectations, the results show a significant negative impact of elite board members on accounting-based performance and no significant effect on market-based performance. The expected stronger effect of having an elite board chair was not supported. These findings encourage a reevaluation of the assumed benefits of elite board membership, suggesting underlying complex dynamics. The thesis concludes with implications for corporate governance, limitations of the study, and directions for future research.

    Die Entwicklung der Versicherungsaufsicht in Frankreich: vom Ancien Régime bis zum ersten Versicherungsaufsichtsgesetz 1938

    No full text
    In der wenig vorhandenen Literatur wird meist ein inkohärentes Bild der Entwicklungsgeschichte der französischen Versicherungsaufsicht gezeichnet. Begründet wird dies mit der Vielzahl – angeblich unsystematisierbarer – versicherungsaufsichtsrechtlicher Maßnahmen. Veronika Leitenbacher nimmt dies zum Anlass umfassend die Entwicklung der Versicherungsaufsicht vom Ancien Régime bis zum Erlass des ersten Versicherungsaufsichtsgesetzes 1938 aufzuzeigen. Hierbei beschäftigt sie sich mit drei Fragen: Wie und warum griff der französische Staat in den Versicherungssektor ein? Ist eine Kontinuität in der Weiterentwicklung versicherungsaufsichtsrechtlicher Maßnahmen erkennbar? Bilden diese bereits Aufsichtssysteme, welche Einfluss auf die spätere Versicherungsaufsicht hatten und haben? Durch die eingehende Beantwortung dieser Fragen schafft die Autorin die Grundlage weiterer rechtsvergleichender Forschung im Bereich des Versicherungsaufsichtsrechts.»The Historical Development of Insurance Supervision in France from the Ancien Régime to the First Insurance Supervision Law in 1938«The state of research in the field of French insurance supervision is unsatisfactory. Veronika Leitenbacher therefore not only analyses the reasons for state supervisory measures but also shows the non-linear but continuous development of insurance supervision in France. In this way, the author creates the basis for further comparative research in the field of insurance supervision law
