The Corporate Governance of Business Groups first summarizes how the existing body of literature has defined and studied business groups (BG). It then discusses the arguments for why BGs exist and persist. To provide a contextual understanding of BGs, the authors present the worldwide distribution and structure of these organizations. Gaining an overview of BGs' and their affiliated firms' characteristics allows one to disentangle the various dimensions of their corporate governance, particularly focusing on identifying what we know about how they are governed and where future research should continue. The authors adopt a traditional corporate governance framework based on financial economics to discuss BGs' corporate governance mechanisms. This financial perspective is complemented by incorporating an organizational and sociological lens to better understand how ties among the affiliate firms influence BG governance. Overall, the monograph argues that BG corporate governance is a fruitful path for scholars to continue to examine because many internal and external governance mechanisms remain understudied and the specificities of BGs generate differences in how these mechanisms are understood in these organizations, resulting in gaps in the literature ripe for future research.

How democracy can be extended to the workplace

When the human condition is what directly induces the success or failure of a human being's endeavor, whoever does not evolve goes backwards... Likewise, although supposedly frivolous freedom is currently what governs the global market, its results are ultimately the consequence of man's influence. This is the essence of the corporate world, as William Castaño-Bedoya puts it, in a novel with characters more loyal to profit and fundamentalism than their colleagues and employees. HanssenBox allows itself to wander, led by what its leaders see as destiny, at a time when technology and the online commercial market become industry titans. Ethan, the company's life manager, and Oliver, an outside consultant, star in that microcosm in a corner of the southeastern United States. The two work under the command of a businessman with a shady disposition who plunges them into episodes of mutual distrust, egocentrism, and insecurity. The lives of the characters are systematically affected by the weight of extremist ideologies and the omnipresence of an underhanded double standard . HanssenBox floats along the passage of circumstances imposed by fate in an era in which e-commerce undertakes a crushing advance without return.

This book transposes the 'free-energy principle', as espoused by the neuroscientist Karl Friston, to strategic governance, and forming the new concept of Free-Energy Governance (FEG). This concept lays the foundation for a new logic of governing continuous transformation. In addition to guiding the structure, cognition, and capabilities of success in strategic renewal, FEG provides a systematic and practice-relevant approach to predicting a firm's potential for entropy.Using this new concept, the author shows that the success of continuous strategic renewal and business innovation, elements crucial for firm survival, are determined by the triplet of a firm's structure, cognition, and dynamic board capabilities. "e;How to govern large organizations in times of high uncertainty and permanent change? To answer this pressing question, ... Bijan Khezri has been the first to apply [the free energy] principle to management science ... This book is an eyeopener for every reflective leader.*Professor Oliver Gassmann, Director of the Institute of Management and Technology, University of St. Gallen"e;I really enjoyed reading this book. It was both exciting and reassuring to see how the same fundamental ideas can be found in fields as disparate as nonequilibrium steady-state physics and theories of governance."e;Professor Karl. J. Friston; Director of the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging"e;Using a term often applied to best-selling novels, 'it is a page turner' in which I learned something new in every chapter! Every board member, all executives and scholars interested in strategic leadership and governance must read this book if they wish to remain relevant in the coming transformational decades."e;Michael A.

Seit einigen Jahren beschäftigt die Automatisierung beliebiger Prozesse und Prozessschritte mit der RPA-Technologie die Finanzwirtschaft. Mittlerweile aus dem Alltag vieler sachbearbeitenden Bereiche nicht mehr wegzudenken. Wie funktioniert die Technologie, wer trägt die Verantwortung und was sind die Risiken eines Einsatzes in der eigenen Bank? Das Buch beantwortet diese und viele verwandte Fragen zu RPA, die sich insbesondere interne und externe Prüfer, aber auch Entscheider stellen. Neben einer Einführung in die Technologie und der Einordnung in einen weitgefassten, strategischen Kontext, wird insbesondere die Thematik der richtigen "Prüfung und Beurteilung" der Technologie diskutiert.

El gobierno de datos está roto. Es hora de arreglarlo.¿Por qué es tan ineficiente el gobierno de datos? La verdad es que los programas de gobierno de datos no están diseñados para la forma en que gestionamos nuestros equipos de datos, ni siquiera están diseñados para una organización moderna en absoluto. Fueron diseñados cuando los reportes todavía se enviaban por correo interno.El flujo de datos dentro y fuera de las organizaciones de hoy es como un tsunami que rompe los métodos rígidos de gobierno de datos. Sin embargo, nuestros programas todavía dependen de ese enfoque de comando y control. ¿Alguna vez ha intentado controlar un tsunami? Cada organización que utiliza datos sabe que necesita un programa de gobierno de datos. Los esfuerzos de data literacy y la legislación como el GDPR se han convertido en referentes para nuestras funciones de gobernanza. Pero aun así, nos sentamos en reuniones de gobierno de datos sin suficiente gente y con demasiadas preguntas para poder avanzar. No hay agilidad en el programa porque implicamos un grado de fragilidad en los datos que no existe. Seguimos insistiendo en métodos arcaicos que no aportan valor a nuestras organizaciones. No se puede obtener un conocimiento a profundidad de los datos sin buenas prácticas de gobernanza.Laura Madsen le muestra cómo redefinir la gobernanza para la era moderna. Con un estilo casual e ingenioso, Madsen se basa en décadas de experiencia, comparte entrevistas con otros expertos destacados en el campo y fundamenta su perspectiva en la investigación. Observa dónde todo se desmoronó, desafía creencias arraigadas y propone un cambio fundamental: que la gobernanza no se trata de detener o prevenir el uso, sino de apoyar el uso de los datos. Sea capaz de devolver la confianza y el valor a sus funciones de gobierno de datos y aprenda:El enfoque impulsado por las personas para la gobernanzaLos procesos que respaldan el tsunami de datosLa tecnología de vanguardia que permite el gobierno de datos.

Non-Invasive Data Governance Strikes Again provides a blend of 50 applicable lessons learned and perspectives gained from years of assisting organizations worldwide to follow the popular non-invasive approach from the bestseller, Non-Invasive Data Governance.Non-Invasive Data Governance (NIDG) does not mean that the governance of data and information will be easy or without trials and tribulations. Non-invasive does not mean that the program will be low impact. The title of this book is a dichotomy: achieving measurable results by being less threatening while the impact of striking with this approach can be huge. NIDG focuses on leveraging existing levels of accountability while addressing opportunities to improve. Read about a new framework for Non-Invasive Data Governance in this book that views the main components of a successful program through different levels and perspectives of the organization.There is not a more prolific source of original ideas in the data governance community than Bob Seiner. He's in the field every day, working alongside his clients to help them address real business opportunities and problems. So, when Bob shares "experience and perspective" in his new book, you are tapping into literally thousands of hours of hard work and creative thinking which have been applied in the real world.Tony Shaw CEO and Founder, DATAVERSITYIn this sequel to Non-Invasive Data Governance, Bob Seiner uncovers, unwraps, exposes, defrags, and dissects the lessons and the questions he has discovered in the application of his groundbreaking methodologies for data governance. The reader will be well prepared with examples of how to manage, steward, measure, and to become the best Data Governance professional with the least possible friction.Michelle Finneran Dennedy Chief Executive Officer, PrivacyCode, Inc. and Partner, Privatus Strategic ConsultingBob's invention of the Non-Invasive Data Governance methodology has helped to revolutionize the way organization's manage data. And this book shares the lessons he has learned putting NIDG to practice. So, if you are looking for guidance on governing your organization's data without requiring significant changes to existing processes or infrastructure, let Bob's latest book be your guide.Craig Mullins President & Principal Consultant, Mullins Consulting, Inc. Too often, data books present a rose-colored lens of how things should be. Bob Seiner certainly has the pedigree to know what needs to change, but he also has the practical experience to make it happen. This book is a key that can help anyone unlock the knowledge that Bob has accumulated the hard way, from the experience of many real-life data governance implementations. Everyone should add this to their data bookshelf, since no matter the scenario, there is likely to be a chapter or essay that will apply and help improve the situation. I can't imagine a better encore to Bob's original Non-Invasive Data Governance book! Anthony Algmin Founder, Algmin Data Leadership

The effects of climate change on the one hand, and government promises to achieve sustainable development on the other, are only two examples of the factors driving businesses to incorporate sustainability into their business strategies. International organizations and researchers alike contend that incorporating sustainability into business is only feasible when governance also considers environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. Therefore, corporate governance is attracting more and more attention from investors and various stakeholders. On 23 February 2022, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a Directive on corporate sustainability due diligence. The aim of this Directive is to foster sustainable and responsible corporate behaviour and to anchor human rights and environmental considerations in companies¿ operations and corporate governance. Drawing on the theoretical framework of corporate governance and an analysis of the latest and most important literature on corporate governance and sustainability, this book offers essential insights, particularly in light of the Sustainable Corporate Governance Directive and Due Diligence Directive.

This book brings together works written by academics from all over the world on all aspects of business history: accounting history, management history, economic history, audit history, tax history, financial history, and professional history. Writing, transferring and archiving historical knowledge allows future generations to take lessons from the past and make more informed decisions regardless of whether it is in politics, society, or business. "Historization" can also be seen as the first step of institutionalization for private and governmental companies, institutions, professionals, and states. Institutionally managed historical activities, decisions, and results are accepted as a very important reference about the company for decision-makers and stakeholders. Additionally, "historization" is used in the development and promotion of professions. Historization of professions such as certified public accountants, external auditors,internal auditors, economists, tax experts, certified fraud examiners, and managers nationally and internationally has the potential to educate and motivate new entrants to such roles. As such, this book is a valuable read for business historians, professionals in the field, academics, and students of business.

Transfer pricing is considered a new and complex concept in terms of guidelines and regulations. In this context, more and more academics and tax professionals are interested in understanding the mechanism of a transfer pricing analysis. The main objective of the book is to help them in this process by presenting in a practical approach (using case studies and schemes) and in accordance with the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations the way in which are operating the basic transfer pricing elements.Moreover, considering that the manufacturing sector is the chief wealth-producing sector of the global economy, the book illustrates complete transfer pricing analyses applicable for manufacturing transactions (using Orbis database).In the end, the book presents some recent disputes between manufacturing entities and tax authorities in relation to the transfer pricing analysis for manufacturing transactions.Chapter "e;TAMSAT"e; is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

This book begins by analysing the various corporate governance mechanisms explored in the extant literature and determining their effectiveness in enhancing the firm value using multivariate analysis. The findings are of global relevance as the corporate governance regulations of most countries focus on independent directors as the mainstay of good governance. The empirical evidence from the first objective of this study corroborates the claim that independent directors do not strengthen the firms¿ governance quality. The book is one of the few works to have analysed the possible reasons behind the ineffectiveness of the independent directors. Also, in view of the famous concept of the bundle of governance mechanisms, it might be possible that the independent directors strengthen the firms¿ governance quality indirectly by strengthening other governance mechanisms. This aspect too has little precedence. This study adopts a novel moderation and mediation approach to analyse the monitoring behaviour of independent directors in relation to other governance mechanisms. The work is a must read for corporate players as well as researchers and scholars studying this discipline.

This book gives readers a look inside the boardrooms and directors' minds-a desirable but highly challenging task for researchers due to the lack of access to top teams in organizations. This book breaks through that barrier with a mixed-methods investigation of boardrooms in the emerging country of Vietnam particularly on the topic of financial derivatives. Directors are the leading players within the corporate governance framework. The general effectiveness of the board depends on their roles, processes and competencies. Given the scandals marring the history of the financial industry, this book aims to tackle the question of whether board directors have the financial acumen required to handle the tricky instruments of financial derivatives through interviews with board directors and analysis of their organizations.  Providing a managerial perspective of financial derivatives, this distinguishes itself from more popular financial engineering books and would be a useful read for government officials, board directors, training organizations and scholars, particularly in Vietnam. 

This book highlights the latest research on responsible business and its practical implications for the economy, society, academia, and politics. It presents selected contributions from respected scholars and experts who have conducted international research on corporate social responsibility, sustainability, ethics, corporate governance, finance, and responsible investing. The book examines the spreading and enhancement of CSR and sustainability at the micro, meso, and macro levels, especially in light of their increased relevance following the recent pandemic.Taken together, the results of the empirically and theoretically based contributions offer a unique and multi-faceted perspective on current global trends and expected developments in this area. They cover a wide range of contexts and situations, helping readers expand their knowledge and drive effective change to tap their organizations¿ full potential.

This book brings together diverse ideas on selected facets of globalisation and transitions in globalisation. The scholars that have contributed to this book examine the phenomenon of globalisation through varied lenses, focusing specifically on the human and economic perspectives. These analyses originate in many areas and different legal systems but are all connected through the work of Professor John Farrar and the associations of the contributors with him. This book does not attempt to provide answers to the many challenges of globalisation. Instead, this book discusses selected, particular aspects of globalisation that derive from and are connected to the authors' own research. The thematic diversity of this book is a true strength and should draw a broad range of readers. Whilst this book is primarily written from a legal angle, its content overlaps with broader specialised policy areas, with contributions ranging from taxation to ageing, from insolvency to social licences, and from refugees to the treatment of first nations people. In short, there is something for everyone in this book. As a tribute to the life's work of an outstanding legal scholar, Professor John Farrar, this book explores legal responses to the social and economic impacts of globalisation. After personal acknowledgments from colleagues highlighting the significance of his scholarship, this book is divided into two parts. The first part addresses the social impact of globalisation, focusing on immigration and the impact on First Nations people. Changes in the regulation of medicine and technologies related to ageing are also addressed in this part. In part two, the book addresses the transitioning corporate law landscape and notions of fairness and good faith in the law. The final part contains the conclusions, reflections and synthesis of the editors.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an established management focus of today's companies and organizations of different types, scope and size. Communication practices on CSR and sustainability in the media industry, related theoretical concepts, and empirical foundations have not yet been sufficiently explored. This book focuses on a new normative framework of sustainability, bridging the established debate on public value with the current debate on social impact and the social license to operate in the media industry. With a variety of contributions from theory and practice, the book addresses the dual nature of media and media companies, which simultaneously produce economic and cultural goods and thus bear a "double responsibility": on the one hand, for the way they present reality, monitor and criticize economic and political developments, and bring ethical concerns to the public debate. On the other hand, they bear responsibility for their own activities as companies(license to operate). The book is therefore aimed at readers interested in the journalistic perspective and at executives in the media industry.

Cyberattacks are more destructive than ever, but your C-suite can stop them. This book tells you how.Cyberattacks are worse now than ever before. To defeat cybercriminals, companies must focus on the low-hanging fruits of cybersecurity. It's all about the basics. Companies laid low by ransomware failed to practice good cyber hygiene by recklessly allowing weak or reused passwords, not turning on multifactor authentication, or neglecting to install patches to known software vulnerabilities.Adding insult to grievous injury, many companies failed to mitigate cyber doom by not encrypting their devices, not implementing a data backup plan, or the mother of all blunders, not training their workforce on basic cyber hygiene.Worse still, hidden risks abound for the unwary. A devastating cyberattack is just moments away when C-suite leaders close their eyes to the hazards of shadow IT, data offshoring, mobile devices, and social media.Mobilizing the C-suite: Waging War Against Cyberattacks was written to galvanize C-suite leaders into deploying the basic cybersecurity controls vital to defeating cyberattacks, and to support frontline cybersecurity professionals with companywide cyber hygiene training. Most importantly, the book was written to introduce real-world cybersecurity principles to college students-if our future generation of company leaders enter the C-suite with cyber-savvy, then destructive cyberattacks are not a foregone conclusion.
