The importance of innovation for enterprises increases each passing day. As a result of globalization, enterprises are under intense competitive pressure. They have to make innovation for increasing \ market share or for protecting it. Non-innovative firms lose their customers and their existence faces a threat from other innovative actors in the market. Therefore, firms have to design their organization structure that encourage innovation. Mintzberg’s innovative organization structure is investigated in this chapter. Mintzberg's five-part organizational structure is described briefly in this chapter, and a case study, which is related to innovative (adhocratic) organization structure, is performed. Thus, its aim is to identify the diversity between theory and practice via of the theoretical knowledge. As a result of the study, a high degree of similarity between the application and Mintzberg’s theory, which is related to innovative organization structure, is identified.

The paper aims to point out the limitations of the partial and the need for a holistic approach to researching the influences of national culture on the management. Using the case study of organizational restructuring of Serbian enterprises, the paper shows how the complete understanding of the influences of national culture on management will be possible only if all dimensions of the national culture are simultaneously included in the analysis. The main hypothesis of the paper is that the low degree of formalization of Serbian companies' organizational structure, even with a high degree of uncertainty avoidance in Serbian national culture, results from the forces of collectivism and "female" values in this culture.

Children's wear clothing comprises of clothing, designed for children under the age of 14. It is a sector which despite of the pressure on disposable income, expects the market to be most resilient by volume. Parents are reluctant to cut back on Children's wear. Purchases are more need-driven and the market is value-driven, allowing for high volumes – supporting volume recovery. One major factor that will boost the Children's wear market is the current demographic trend towards higher birth rates. In 2010, the total UK market for Children's wear was valued at £5.91bn, increase by 6.5% from 2009. Further, Verdict Retail forecasts the Children's wear market to grow by meager 1.7% in 2012, underperforming total clothing due to lower inflation. This article highlights the findings of a case study on Marks & Spencer (Bond Street, London) a leading UK brand, whose market share, fell down considerably in the Children's wear Department. The suggestions and consultancy have been provided for the brand, to improve their market share in the changing and volatile environment which was once, a market leader in the Kids-wear segment in UK.

ABSTRACT On July 20, 2012, Heineken, a Dutch brewery offered S$5.125 billion (Singapore dollars; approximately US$4.1 billion) to buy Asia Pacific Breweries Ltd (APB; formerly, Malayan Breweries Limited) from its Singapore-based joint venture partner, Fraser and Neave, Limited. (F&N). At that point, Heineken and F&N had joint control over APB through the joint venture vehicle Asia Pacific Investments Pte Ltd (APIPL). Brewery business under the joint arrangement had moved on quite predictably from the time APB was formed in 1931. However, the calm changed to high drama when Thai Beverage, owned by one of Thailand's tycoons, made a bid for F&N and APB. Heineken was quick to respond by aggressively buying shares of APB, leading to a large control premium being paid in the final offer price. The bidding war was largely motivated by the Dutch and Thai beer giants, each wanting to own the iconic Tiger beer brand that was owned by APB and thus take control of APB's strong market share in the fast-growing market of Asia. The Heineken bid for APB presents an interesting case study regarding the motivations for acquisitions, the nature of control, and accounting for acquisitions. The case also presents rich issues in accounting for changes in ownership interests with and without gain of control.

To make feasible and scalable the verification of large and complex concurrent systems, it is necessary the use of compositional techniques even at the highest abstraction layers. When focusing on the lowest software abstraction layers, such as the implementation or the machine code, the high level of detail of those layers makes the direct verification of properties very difficult and expensive. It is therefore essential to use techniques allowing to simplify the verification on these layers. One technique to tackle this challenge is top-down verification where by means of simulation properties verified on top layers (representing abstract specifications of a system) are propagated down to the lowest layers (that are an implementation of the top layers). There is no need to say that simulation of concurrent systems implies a greater level of complexity, and having compositional techniques to check simulation between layers is also desirable when seeking for both feasibility and scalability of the refinement verification. In this article, we present CSim 2 a (compositional) rely-guarantee-based framework for the top-down verification of complex concurrent systems in the Isabelle/HOL theorem prover. CSim 2 uses CSimpl, a language with a high degree of expressiveness designed for the specification of concurrent programs. Thanks to its expressibility, CSimpl is able to model many of the features found in real world programming languages like exceptions, assertions, and procedures. CSim 2 provides a framework for the verification of rely-guarantee properties to compositionally reason on CSimpl specifications. Focusing on top-down verification, CSim 2 provides a simulation-based framework for the preservation of CSimpl rely-guarantee properties from specifications to implementations. By using the simulation framework, properties proven on the top layers (abstract specifications) are compositionally propagated down to the lowest layers (source or machine code) in each concurrent component of the system. Finally, we show the usability of CSim 2 by running a case study over two CSimpl specifications of an Arinc-653 communication service. In this case study, we prove a complex property on a specification, and we use CSim 2 to preserve the property on lower abstraction layers.
