摘要
数字化彻底改变了包括公司法在内的所有法律领域。本文主要讨论了数字化对公司沟通方式的不同影响,例如线上的股东会或董事会沟通模式,以及与第三方(即投资者)的沟通模式。这些沟通方式的法律框架不仅涉及公司法,还涉及媒体法、数据保护法以及资本市场法。数字化也影响了董事的责任感:随着大数据和新算法改善了董事决策的信息基础,他们不得不利用这些技术方式进行决策。另一方面,IT安全已成为董事的主要任务之一,因为企业中所有工作流程的数字化要求有必要的IT安全标准,以避免遭受攻击时存在风险。此外,区块链作为一种新技术,可以安全地识别所有类型的交易,包括可以增强符合公司程序的自动化合同(所谓智能合约),以及有关使用区块链作为DAO以太坊等投资形式的新问题。最后,本文还讨论了使用数字工作流程和半智能化流程(所谓的工业4.0)在不同合作伙伴之间紧密合作的现象。
Digitalization revolutionizes all legal areas,including Corporate Law.The article deals with different impacts of digitalization on communication schemes in corporations,such as virtual communication pattern in board of shareholders or directors,also encompassing communication with third parties,namely investors.The legal framework for these communication patterns refers not only to Corporate Law but also to media regulation law,data protection law,as well as capital market law.Digitalization also has an impact on liability of directors.On the one hand,as big data and new algorithms improve the information basis for decision taking of directors,they are obliged to make use of it.On the other hand,ITsecurity has become one of the main tasks for directors as digitalization of all work flows in enterprises requires necessary ITsecurity standards in order to avoid existential risks in case of attacks.Furthermore,blockchain as a new technology enables the secure identification of all kind of transactions,including automatized contracts(so called smart contracts)which could enhance procedures in corporations.New problems arise concerning the use of blockchain as an investment form such as DAO Ethereum.Finally,the phenomenon of close cooperation between different partners by using digital work flows and semiintelligent agents(so called industry 4.0)is discussed.
