New Strategies

Take-overs of companies are being increasingly used as a means of business growth. Take-over candidates are decreasing and acquiring companies are becoming more aggressive in pursuing take-overs. The target companies have retaliated by using several new techniques to avoid hostile take-overs. Anti-take-over amendments to the company's Memorandum and Articles of association, 'golden parachute' arrangements, and the simultaneous bid for the acquiring company are being extensively used to defend hostile take-overs. The controversial nature of these new strategies has provoked heated academic debate as well as emotional arguments between business managers and shareholders. The high cost of implementing the new strategies to defend take-overs has generated much adverse publicity in the United States. By contrast these new techniques have not found widespread use in South Africa. It can be expected that at some stage in the future these techniques will be implemented by the target companies in South Africa. The public policy implications of using these techniques are discussed in this article. The need to provide guide-lines on the use of new strategies to defend hostile take-overs is recommended. The listed companies in South Africa are instrumental in undertaking major take-overs resulting in increased business concentration. It is recommended that the Johannesburg Stock Exchange should provide guidelines on acceptable methods to defend hostile take-overs.

This chapter analyses the theory about the justice dilemma and derives testable hypotheses on how international justice shapes patterns of exile, civil war duration, and mass killing onset. It offers both quantitative and qualitative evidence to assess the theory on the justice dilemma in multiple ways. It also points out how exile traditionally offered an attractive golden parachute for all embattled rulers and provided a mechanism for leaders to give up power in a manner that is relatively costless. The chapter reviews the recent trend toward holding leaders accountable for atrocity crimes that are irrespective of national borders, which complicates the exile option. It refers to the signing of the ICC's Rome Statute and the arrest of former Chilean leader Augusto Pinochet that made the threat of arrest on foreign soil appear far more realistic.

Golden Parachute

Wraz z przejściem polskiej i rosyjskiej gospodarki na kapitalistyczny model rozwoju gospodarczego w języku polskim i rosyjskim pojawiło się nowe słownic-two odnoszące się do tej sfery, głównie o anglojęzycznej proweniencji. Zasoby leksykalne obu języków wzbogaciły się o kalki frazeologiczne złoty spadochron (parasol) i золо-той парашют, rozpowszechnione w środowisku ekonomiczno-finansowo-biznesowym. Internacjonalny charakter tego typu reproduktów świadczy o globalizacji praw i dzia-łań w sferze finansowej. Za sprawą elit symbolicznych (dziennikarzy), wypowiadają-cych się na łamach prasy niespecjalistycznej (ogólnopolskiej), frazeologizmy te znane są także szerokiemu kręgowi odbiorców-niespecjalistów. W polszczyźnie i ruszczyźnie, jak zaświadczają to konteksty w prasie niespecjalistycznej (2019/2020), wyrażenie to zaczyna też funkcjonować w dodatkowym nieekonomicznym (nieterminologicznym) znaczeniu.
