Abstract Following financialization, there has emerged an understanding of what it implies to be a shareholder based on the shareholder value perception. However, as this shareholder value perception spreads internationally, it clashes with traditional perceptions. In this paper, we apply the language developed by Bourdieu to a Swedish public debate on equal treatment of shareholders in connection with the reform of the Swedish market for corporate control. Using Bourdieu’s conceptual framework, we describe how a global development interacts with the persistence of national practices. We conclude that in Sweden, local institutional investors have allied themselves with international institutional investors to enhance their positions in the restricted field of Swedish corporate control. Shareholder value is then used by these local actors as an argument to strengthen their position. At the same time, some of the controlling shareholders depart from their traditional position as industrial entrepreneurs and embrace a more financial approach to ownership, thereby altering both the power constellations and the capital, in Bourdieu’s sense, of the field.

The article considers the financial tools of corporate control transfers and mergers and acquisitions financing forms. In western countries tax and informative factors are more important, but in the Russian business market lack of development of the stock market and low cost of securities of Russian companies play the main role. The analysis has shown that in Russia the monetary form of M&A financing dominates over other financing forms (90% of reviewed cases), still there are individual cases of M&A financing by buying company’s shares (10% of reviewed cases).

Die Fähigkeit eines Unternehmens, über den Tellerrand des rein wirtschaftlichen Handelns hinauszublicken und sich als glaubwürdiges Glied in der Gesellschaft zu definieren, gilt als zunehmend wichtiger Erfolgsfaktor. Als ungenügend wird die enge opportunistische Ausrichtung des Managementhandelns auf den Shareholder Value gegeißelt. Der Gesellschaft wird die Legitimation zugesprochen, die Unternehmen darauf hin zu beurteilen, ob sie in ihren Aktivitäten moralischen Grundsätzen standhalten und zu einem „guten“ gesellschaftlichen Leben beitragen. Umgekehrt wird von den Unternehmen verlangt, diesen Beitrag zur „Social Responsiveness“ sichtbar zu machen, sich offen gegenüber der Unternehmensumwelt zu verhalten, ein ehrliches Verhalten an den Tag zu legen und auf die Interessen und Anliegen der Stakeholder konstruktiv einzugehen. Die nachfolgenden Standpunkte zum Thema CSR beleuchten die Thematik aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. Matthias Karmasin gibt einen methodischen Überblick über die Konzeptionen und Instrumente von CSR und verweist auf die hohe Verantwortung von Medien unternehmen, sich ernsthaft mit CSR auseinander zu setzen. Peter Strahlendorf zeigt auf, dass sich im Bereich der Medienunternehmen zahlreiche Beispiele für eindrucksvolle CSR-Aktivitäten finden lassen, dass teilweise aber auch Nach holbedarf, z. B. im Vergleich zur Industrie, besteht. Florian Nehm fokussiert den Blick auf das Nachhaltigkeitskonzept bei der Axel Springer AG.
