Shed Light

Competitiveness today requires being able to operate at a global scale. The financial crisis invigorated this requirement, posing new challenges to the economic viability of conventional companies and demanding alternative organizational forms of production. Although a wealth of research has focused on capitalist companies, little attention has been paid to the way these challenges affected worker cooperatives. Drawing from a qualitative case study of the Mondragon Cooperative Group, this article discusses the obstacles to internationalization faced by worker cooperatives, as well as the specific conditions and implications involved. In particular, the article analyzes Mondragon’s contradiction between being forced to expand and trying to keep cooperative values during this expansion. Two main actions aimed at responding to this contradiction are analyzed: the creation of mixed cooperatives and the extension of the corporate management model. The analysis of this process will shed light on actions for the global expansion of worker cooperatives.

A Company

Digitale Betriebsprüfungen stellen Unternehmen vor neue Herausforderungen. Prüfungen werden entsprechend der „Grundsätze zum Datenzugriff und zur Prüfung digitaler Unterlagen“ (GDPdU) zunehmend über einen direkten Datenzugriff und automatisierte Datenanalysen durchgeführt. Hierauf müssen sich Unternehmen einstellen. Der Beitrag beschreibt die diesbezüglich relevanten Handlungsfelder. Im Mittelpunkt der Vorbereitung auf eine digitale Betriebsprüfung stehen kontinuierliche Analysen rechnungslegungsrelevanter Daten. Für derartige Datenanalysen gelangen spezielle Softwareprogramme, sog. CAAT-Tools, zum Einsatz. Sie gewährleisten aber nicht nur eine GDPdU-Compliance, sondern bilden auch die Grundlage für eine verbesserte Unternehmenssteuerung. Digital tax audits indicate new challenges for a company, especially for its IT competences and compliance. Complying with Ministry of Finance instructions on data access for fiscal authorities (GDPdU) audits were made more by direct data access and automated data analysis. In that paper the authors describe the action fields concerning this matter. The company’s preparation for digital tax audit is focused on a continuous analysis of tax-relevant data, using e.g. CAAT-Tools for that. They not only guarantee GDPdU compliance, but they are also fundamental tools to improve the corporate management. Keywords: digitale betriebsprüfung handlungsfelder

Particle Images

Compared with images of negatively stained single particle specimens, those obtained by cryo-electron microscopy have the following new features: (a) higher “signal” variability due to a higher variability of particle orientation; (b) reduced signal/noise ratio (S/N); (c) virtual absence of low-spatial-frequency information related to elastic scattering, due to the properties of the phase contrast transfer function (PCTF); and (d) reduced resolution due to the efforts of the microscopist to boost the PCTF at low spatial frequencies, in his attempt to obtain recognizable particle images.
