In the current economic model, holding is a forced measure for many companies. If we look back and look at the system of economic ties, the picture will be clear and understandable. The economy of almost every single country acted independently in accordance with the interests of the state, industry and individual enterprise. International and interregional ties developed according to a pattern worked out over the centuries. In the markets there was an exchange of goods, technologies and patents. From a certain moment, which different analysts designate differently, large-scale integration processes began in these mechanisms.
The US economy, as the most dynamic and receptive to innovation, has become a kind of testing ground for finding new forms of management. The holding is a new type of corporation that has replaced trusts and concerns. Of course, all these organizational forms continued to operate. As you know, not only goods and services compete in the market, but also ways of organizing business. For a long time, with breaks for wars, there was a sharp competitive struggle between different methods of management. Practice convincinglydemonstrates that the same tool can be used with different efficiency.
Holding is a structure that combines a certain number of legal entities doing business. Integration implies strict subordination. In other words, all lower levels are subordinate to the supreme body. Almost all holdings in Russia are formed according to this principle. The enterprises and organizations included in such formation retain the entire set of rights and obligations. They independently plan their financial and economic activities, are responsible for their obligations, manage their assets and liabilities. At first glance, it may seem that joining this structure is purely formal.
However, this is completely wrong. For example, a construction holding may include not only specialized enterprises. Construction and assembly departments, mechanized columns and transport companies are united under one brand in order to maintain their positions in the market. Everything is clear here and does not raise any questions or objections. But in addition to these enterprises, the holding may also include design structures. The bureau, which is engaged in the design of engineering networks, first of all fulfills requests from enterprises - members of the holding. At the same time, he retains the right to work with other customers.
It should be noted that the holding is a management systemassets and property. The association can be created on a contractual basis. This is possible when two parties make a joint decision to transfer certain property to the management of one of the parties. It must be said right away that this form of relationship should not be confused with an elementary lease. It's just that one of the partners takes real estate or mechanisms belonging to the other into operational management. All this is done in order to make better use of the available assets. Plus, within the framework of such an association, there is an opportunity to optimize the tax base.
