Pentagon Press Corporate Social Responsibility: Corporate
Book SynopsisCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR), corporate governance and workplace practices are intimately connected. They are indeed three distinct pillars of any successful business venture. This work strongly argues that without fulfilling the social responsibilities, economic and legal obligations of a business organization simply becomes infructuous. The best course of action for business is to first serve its stakeholders, mainly its employees. Hence, the overarching theme that revolves round the book is that employee engagement and their welfare are the keys to ascertain democratic practices at workplace. And once it is ensured, this would help an enterprise to fulfilling and encompassing four aspects of CSR i.e. economic, legal, ethical and discretionary or philanthropic.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Political Power of the Business Corporation
Book SynopsisA comprehensive analysis of how the large corporation has impacted national and global governance. Wilks has made an important contribution to the literature on the changing political and social role of business in contemporary capitalist polities.'- David Vogel, University of California, US'Observers are increasingly realizing that that the large corporation has become one of the main institutions that govern our lives; the market economy, which in principle prevents corporations from possessing political power, today endows them with that power. Stephen Wilks here traces the extraordinarily important implications of this fact, and makes some sober proposals for tackling the problems it creates for democracy. Others have noted this phenomenon; here at last is a thorough study of it - detailed enough to satisfy the standards of social science; worrying enough to command the concern of policy makers; and written in an approachable style to attract the general reader.'- Colin Crouch, University of Warwick, UK'This is a book that needed to be written and Stephen Wilks has the academic understanding and breadth of practical experience to accomplish the task with authority and conviction. This is an important book, not only because it helps to fill a gap in a still under developed literature on the political role of the modern corporation, but because it raises important and disturbing questions about contemporary democracy.'- Wyn Grant, University of Warwick, UKThe large business corporation has become a governing institution in national and global politics. This trail-blazing book offers a critical account of its political dominance and lack of democratic legitimacy.Thanks to successful wealth generation and ideological victories the large business corporation has become an effective political actor and has entered into partnership with government in the design of public policy and delivery of public services. Stephen Wilks argues that governmental and corporate elites have transformed British politics to create a 'new corporate state' with similar patterns in the USA, in competitor economies - including China - and in global governance. The argument embraces multinational corporations, corporate social responsibility, corporate governance and the inequality generated by corporate dominance.The crucial analysis presented in this ground-breaking book will prove invaluable for academics, researchers and both under- and postgraduate students with an interest in the role of the corporation in politics and society across a wide range of fields including business and management (business ethics), politics, political economy, sociology, corporate governance and strategy.Contents: Preface 1.

Conclusion: Fairy-tales, Facts, Foci and Futures Bibliography IndexTrade ReviewI consider this book to be an outstanding contribution to the study of the power of large business corporations; it takes a fresh perspective by making fruitful connections between (1) new institutionalism and political economy, (2) the domestic and transnational levels of corporate power and governance, and (3) different key corporate political agendas like CSR and corporate governance. --Martin Fougère, Hanken School of Economics, FinlandIn a much-needed and important overview and analysis of the field that should appeal to students of political science and corporate law, Wilks argues the forces that created the corporation have ''unleashed new autocrats, immune from effective political control''. His argument in The Political Power of the Business Corporation is that it is impossible to understand the ''structural dependence'' between the state and the corporation without studying the corporation in its mould as a political actor. --LSE Review of BooksTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Cambridge University Press Independent Directors in Asia A Historical
Book SynopsisThe rise of the independent director in Asia is an issue of global consequence that has been largely overlooked until recently. Less than two decades ago, independent directors were oddities in Asia's boardrooms. Today, they are ubiquitous. Independent Directors in Asia undertakes the first detailed analysis of this phenomenon. It provides in-depth historical, contextual and comparative perspectives on the law and practice of independent directors in seven core Asian jurisdictions (China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan) and Australia. These case studies reveal the varieties of independent directors in Asia, none of which conform to its original American concept. The authors develop a taxonomy of these varieties, which provides a powerful analytical tool for more accurately understanding and effectively researching independent directors in Asia. This new approach challenges foundational aspects of comparative corporate governance practice and suggests a new pathTrade Review'Independent Directors in Asia combines a rigorous theoretical framework with the insights that only in-depth jurisdiction-specific analyses can give. In doing so, it provides the readers with a precise and thought-provoking sense of how the same governance mechanism can mean different things and perform different functions not only once transplanted from the US to Asia but also within the various Asian jurisdictions. In short, this is a fascinating book that has all the ingredients to become a classic in comparative corporate law.' Luca Enriques, Allen and Overy Professor of Corporate Law, University of Oxford'The independent director has been a focal point of corporate governance reform in the United States and the United Kingdom for decades, but its transplantation into Asian systems has been surprisingly complex and at times politically fraught. This enlightening volume exposes the institutional richness and functional diversity behind Asia's halting embrace of this corporate governance device. Independent Directors in Asia will have a long shelf life as an indispensable resource for scholars, policymakers and practitioners.' Curtis J. Milhaupt, Parker Professor of Comparative Corporate Law and Fuyo Professor of Japanese Law, Columbia Law School, New York'… this book has been a fascinating read, rich in detail and full of insight.

Book SynopsisWe need new governance solutions to help us improve public policies and services, solve complex societal problems, strengthen social communities and reinvigorate democracy.

Through the construction of platforms and arenas to facilitate co-creation, this strategy can empower local communities, enhance broad-based participation, mobilize societal resources and spur public innovation while building ownership for bold solutions to pressing problems and challenges.

Cambridge University Press Grow the Pie
Book SynopsisA Financial Times Book of the Year 2020! What is a responsible business? Common wisdom is that it''s one that sacrifices profit for social outcomes. But while it''s crucial for companies to serve society, they also have a duty to generate profit for investors - savers, retirees, and pension funds. Based on the highest-quality evidence and real-life examples spanning industries and countries, Alex Edmans shows that it''s not an either-or choice - companies can create both profit and social value. The most successful companies don''t target profit directly, but are driven by purpose - the desire to serve a societal need and contribute to human betterment. The book explains how to embed purpose into practice so that it''s more than just a mission statement, and discusses the critical role of working collaboratively with a company''s investors, employees, and customers. Rigorous research also uncovers surprising results on how executive pay, shareholder activism, and share buybacks can be Trade Review'I do not know whether capitalism is in crisis. But I do know Alex Edmans' superb book makes the case, compellingly and comprehensively, for a radical rethink of how companies operate and indeed why they exist. It is the definitive account of the analytical case for responsible business, but is at the same time practical and grounded in real business experience. It is a tour de force.' Andy Haldane, Chief Economist, Bank of England'Politicians are calling for large companies to be regulated or split up. In this compelling book Alex Edmans argues that there is indeed a problem with corporate behavior but that the solution may be simpler: change corporate purpose so that companies focus on growing the pie rather than grabbing more of it. Edmans's arguments are a powerful and persuasive antidote to much of the conventional wisdom about the corporate world.' Oliver Hart, 2016 Nobel Laureate in Economics'This is a brilliant and timely book, taking the business case for responsible capitalism to a whole new level. Edmans provides a rigorous, evidence-based approach, exploring numerous angles around how businesses can (and, as he shows, must) combine profit-seeking with purpose as well as the role investors and other stakeholders can play in driving a genuine win-win approach. He tackles counter-arguments head-on and has the courage to expose examples of virtue-signalling that falsely discredit responsible businesses. Citing case studies collated over decades, it's a great read, too, offering fascinating examples well beyond the usual suspects. Grow the Pie really has the power to convince the sceptics as well as encourage advocates consider new ways to embed the approach further in their businesses.' Dame Helena Morrissey, financier and founder of the 30% Club'This is a must-read book for anyone interested in reforming capitalism - particularly in its role of serving wider society. The book is grounded in academic evidence, but the ideas are highly practical, and recognize the need for business to be profitable as well as purposeful. Most companies have inspiring mission statements; Edmans provides a concrete framework for translating them into actual practice. He does not shy away from acknowledging the challenges with running a purpose-driven company - balancing multiple objectives, achieving investor buy-in, and making decisions where the key criteria cannot be quantified. Instead, he tackles them head-on, giving clear guidelines on how to navigate tough decisions, which he illustrates with powerful examples.' Dominic Barton, former Global Managing Partner of McKinsey'The quest to encourage companies to adopt positive values, for the benefit of all stakeholders, sometimes seems long on vision and short on firepower. Edmans, a finance professor, provides plenty of ammunition to support the idea that visionary leaders can expand the whole “pie” in pursuit of purpose and profit.' Andrew Hill, Financial Times, Best Books of 2020'This is an original and important book that will help transform how business sees itself - and how we see business. Alex Edmans in his passionate advocacy of 'Pieconomics' challenges us all to adopt a mindset and unity of purpose in which all business actions contribute to pie growing. The implications are radical and far-reaching. Read it: it will challenge how you think.' Will Hutton, Principal of Hertford College, Oxford and Observer columnist'In Grow the Pie, Alex Edmans has provided us with a valuable contribution to contemporary thinking about how business can be a force for good in society. His thought-provoking, often contrarian, ideas are rigorously logical, delving beneath the superficial analyses we often see, which assume correlation implies causation. And Alex's engaging storytelling brings the principles of 'Pieconomics' to life with examples of prominent business people - not just those who understand the benefits of growing the pie - but also those who don't.' Sir James G. M. Wates, Chairman of Wates Group'Alex Edmans has done a great service to society by showing that business doesn't have to be a zero-sum game if we focus more on growing the pie rather than maximizing our slice of it. This is capitalism with a human face.' Andrew Lo, Massachusetts Institute of Technology'Just as Freakonomics encouraged readers to look beyond the conventional wisdom that underlies many public policies, now Professor Alex Edmans introduces the concept of Pieconomics. In Grow the Pie, he challenges popular rhetoric that the free enterprise system is broadly detracting from society. Instead, through many and varied examples, he offers an alternate lens through which we can interpret what constitutes responsible business. In this thoroughly readable book, Edmans debunks mythologies about corporate behavior and offers a new vocabulary by which we can have principled discussions about the role of business in society. A 'must read' for leaders in government, business and the media that reports on both.' Paula Rosput Reynolds, Director of GE, BP, and BAE'This book is a must-read for asset owners, fund managers and for the boards and executives who lead business enterprise. It provides evidence-based analysis and guidance on how the influence of well-designed stewardship can yield benefit in terms of both financial returns for savers and investors and returns for all stakeholders in a way that benefits society as a whole.' Sir David Walker, former Chairman of Barclays and Morgan Stanley International, author of the Walker Review'Alex Edmans has produced rigorous evidence that the choice between people and profits is a false dichotomy. Now he makes his work accessible to a broader audience and explains how it's possible to overcome the tradeoffs that hold so many leaders and companies back.' Adam Grant, author of Originals and Give and Take and host of the TED podcast WorkLife'This uplifting book provides powerful examples, as well as evidence, that socially responsible businesses generate even higher long term profits than corporations focused on short term profit maximisation. Value is created particularly in new economy enterprises by employee purpose, creation of brand and reputation which drives customer preference. The findings reflects my own real world experiences of striving for business excellence across the global LifeSciences industry.' David Pyott, former Chairman and CEO of Allergan'Finance Professor Alex Edmans defines his purpose in life as 'to use rigorous research to influence the practice of business.' This book, Grow the Pie, demonstrates his manifest success in fulfilling that purpose. Edmans mobilizes evidence - not anecdotes - to make a case, both accessible and compelling, for policies and practices that increase the value available for all stakeholders versus simply and simplistically maximizing profit. Edmans' critical contribution is to reframe arguments about business and capitalism from an all too prevalent short-term zero-sum game to collaborative games where, over time, all can benefit.' Bill Janeway, Warburg Pincus'Alex Edmans provides robust evidence against the claim that businesses must choose between shareholder value and social responsibility. Although there are trade-offs, there is no single trade-off. What is good for shareholders can be good for society: evidence matters.' Baroness Onora O'Neill, University of Cambridge'An important, thoughtful, and timely book. The conflicts surrounding business, and its effects on society, are the subject of a heated debate. With clarity and insight, Alex Edmans makes a valuable contribution to this key debate. Anyone interested in this important subject would find much to learn from, or wrestle with, in this book.'

Palgrave MacMillan UK The Recurrent Crisis in Corporate Governance
Book SynopsisSince the mid-1980s two crises have overtaken governance of the American corporation - the loss of competitiveness in the 1980s and the loss of investor trust in financial management in the late 1990s.Trade Review'I warmly congratulate Millstein and MacAvoy on the important contribution which their book makes to the re-design of corporate governance structures and processes worldwide. Their analysis of the deficiencies in our present approach to governance leads logically and inexorably to an admirable set of recommendations which are internationally relevant. Their book is timely, authoritative and practical. It deserves to be widely read and its advice widely followed.' - Sir Adrian Cadbury, Chairman, UK Committee on Corporate Governance and Former Chairman, Cadbury Schweppes 'MacAvoy and Millstein have produced a unique combination of economic history and legal theory to explain the breakdown of corporate governance. When two such experts in governance, who between them cover the map in practice and scholarship, call for such major changes as they do in corporate governance we are clearly at a point where board members will no longer be employees of the CEO. There is much value in this treatise and much value to be created in resolving the flawed governance systems they discuss.' - Michael C. Jensen, Jesse Isidor Straus Professor Emeritus, Harvard Business School and Managing Director of the Organizational Strategy Practice, The Monitor Group 'Millstein and MacAvoy offer a fresh, thought-provoking look at the basic questions in the corporate governance debate and break important if controversial new ground. With a penetrating analysis of the recent failures so glaringly revealed in the spate of corporate scandals and broad new insights into what went wrong, the book charts a new course to avoid such failings in the future. Combining first-rate scholarship with originality, the book sets a new standard for all who are interested in corporate governance.' - John Snow, Former Chairman and CEO, CSX Corporation and Former Co-Chair, the Conference Board Commission on Public Trust and Private Enterprise 'The book is an expert assessment of what went wrong on corporate boards and how to fix them.' - Diana B. Henriques, The New York Times 'The book is short, wise and to the point. It falls squarely into the 'must read' category.' - John Plender, Financial Times 'The Recurrent Crisis in Corporate Governance pushes the edge of mainstream thought in this growing discipline. Authors Paul W. MacAvoy and Ira M. Millstein, giants in the field, have well deserved reputations as practitioners and scholars. This thin volume will quickly guide the course for progressive board members concerned with building solid companies, rather than future Enrons.' - James McRitchie, CorpGov.Net 'Interested in minimizing Directors' liability? This book is must reading.' - Al Driver, Editor, The Metropolitan Corporate Counsel '[MacAvoy and Millstein] ably make the case for a simple and straightforward remedy to American business's worst crisis in memory.' - Roger Lowenstein, The Wall Street Journal <'In their new work Ira Millstein and Paul MacAvoy blend their different backgrounds, plus years of experience serving on and advising corporate boards, to create an important and compelling contribution to the field....The Recurrent Crisis in Corporate Governance should be required reading for everyone involved in corporate affairs, investing, and public policy.' - Howard Sherman, Directors & BoardsTable of ContentsList of Figures and Tables Preface Introduction and Summary; I.M.Millstein & P.W.MacAvoy The Current Crisis; I.M.Millstein & P.W.MacAvoy The Emergence and Development of the Governance Problem; I.M.Millstein & P.W.MacAvoy Conglomeration As An Example of Managerial Self Interest Sources of Accelerated Change The Emergence of the Full Role of the Board of Directors Has the Emergence of "New " Governance, In Terms of Board Diligence And Focus Become Observable?

Project Management Institute Governance of Portfolios, Programs, and Projects:
Book SynopsisUnderstanding governance as it applies to portfolios, programs, and projects is growing in importance to organizations, because appropriate governance is a factor in the success or failure of strategic initiatives and portfolios, as well as an organization’s programs and projects. Implementing an effective governance framework can be challenging due to factors such as increasing business complexities, regulatory requirements, globalization, and rapid changes in technology and business environments. Many organizations do not have a consistent approach to portfolio, program, and project governance. PMI’s Governance of Portfolios, Programs, and Projects: A Practice Guide, developed by leading experts in the field, provides guidance to organizations and practitioners on how to implement or enhance governance on portfolios, programs, and projects. This practice guide provides definitions for governance in an effort to distinguish the different levels of governance and to identify their common elements.

There have been considerable efforts by regulators and business organizations to encourage the board of directors and management to pursue profit-with-purpose goals in by focusing on long-term investment and integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) sustainability into their strategic and investment decisions.

The role of the board of directors is to oversee the managerial function of focusing on the long-term financial ESP and non-financial ESG sustainability performance, effectively communicating sustainability performance information to all stakeholders.This book examines the crucial role of investors both retail and institutional investors and interment managers, the corporate board of directors and management in collaborating to achieve financial ESP and nonfinancial ESG sustainability performance in creating shared value for all stakeholders.

Do Sustainability Full Product Transparency: Cutting the Fluff Out
Book SynopsisThis book outlines a path towards a more practical era for "corporate responsibility", where companies make real environmental gains based on hard facts, using lifecycle assessment (LCA) and environmental product declarations (EPDs).By the time you have finished this book you will be able to make the case for moving from corporate to product sustainability and propose a methodology for doing this, based on EPDs.In the past decade, thousands of companies have started the journey towards sustainability, leading to a huge supporting industry of sustainability professionals, lorry-loads of corporate reports, and a plethora of green labels and marketing claims. Ramon Arratia argues that it''s now time to transform this new industry by cutting out all the fluff and instead focusing on Full Product Transparency (FPT). In the world of FPT, companies carry out LCAs for all their products and services, identifying their biggest impacts and where they can make the greatest difference. They disclose the full environmental impacts of their products using easily-understood metrics, allowing customers to make meaningful comparisons in their purchasing decisions and providing governments with a platform to reward products and services with the lowest impacts.This book will help you put your company on a path towards Full Product Transparency. This is a decision that can revolutionize and align consumer behaviour, supply chains, policy-making and reporting. It is no less than the path to the future of all business.

Book SynopsisThe presence of sound corporate governance in a financial institution is important in maintaining the confidence of both the market and the public. The power that corporate governance holds over the success of some of the largest financial institutions in the world is not to be downplayed. This book methodically assesses the quality of corporate governance and mechanisms of accountability disclosures to various stakeholders. It is further intended to provide fresh insights into some specific corporate governance recommendations to help improve good governance in financial institutions, particularly in the United Kingdom and the EU but will also be applicable to other major economies. It explores what, when and how corporate governance has changed the financial institution functions and corporate executive behaviour by critically reviewing the pre- and post-financial crisis theoretical and empirical literature. Increasingly driven by the nature of complications, complexities and opacity in the operations of financial systems, corporate governance reporting plays an important role in the financial sector. It will provide insights into corporate governance disclosures over a long-term basis. This book should be a valuable asset to support the research of practitioners, students and all academics due to its stimulating and reflective insights into this fascinating topic.Table of ContentsChapter 1 – IntroductionChapter 2 – Corporate Governance development: a reaction or deliberate policy thought?Chapter 3 – Rethinking of corporate governance in financial institutions: Do we need a new theory?.Chapter 4 – Walking a fine line: Governance, Accountability Mechanisms and Disclosure LiteratureChapter 5 – To blame?

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Corporate Governance in the Knowledge Economy:
Book SynopsisWith the transition into the Knowledge Economy, a formidable series of new challenges arise within the corporate governance space. This book tackles the issue of corporate governance along two axes. Firstly, it confronts the developments in corporate governance within the context of the Knowledge Economy and all its implications in relation to the pre-eminence of intangible assets, the advent of technologies such as smartphones and advanced forms of artificial intelligence, and cultural changes associated with the incorporation of Gen Y into the workforce and the proliferation of social networks and effects such as Big Data and cyber-threats. Secondly, it highlights the challenges for multinational organizations and the tension that exists between headquarters and subsidiary offices due to the need to combine the corporation’s ethical culture and corporate governance values with the institutional forces of the subsidiaries’ context. The combination of these two axes addressed viz a viz the relationship between senior management and the rank and file of the organization to create an ethical corporate culture leads to a completely different positioning of corporate governance and make the book truly unique and of interest to researchers, students of corporate finance and corporate governance alongside practitioners within financial organizations and more broadly. Table of ContentsChapter 1 Conceptual Framework: Corporate responsibility, governance, business ethics, culture, and the Knowledge Economy.- Chapter 2 First things first: The hidden costs of poor governance.- Chapter 3 Challenges to global governance in MNE: Strategy adaptation to local markets.- Chapter 4 Challenges to local governance in international business: The risks of corruption.- Chapter 5 Different approaches to governance in adopting a sustainable business model.- Chapter 6 The way forward.

De Gruyter Recognising and Dealing with Business Distress:
Book SynopsisBusinesses fail – some spectacularly and suddenly, others more gradually over time. In some companies business decline can be turned around or at least delayed. In many others there is no option other than business closure. Over the past twenty years the rate of business failure has accelerated. Insolvency rates are high not just for small businesses but also for large well known public companies. Identifying possible causes of business distress is now recognised as an important agenda item. Creating the capacity to bounce back from such distress – business resilience – has become a priority. The authors blend their own practical experience, academic research and a systematic analysis of recent high profile cases including Flybe Group Plc, Arcadia Group Ltd, Carillion Plc, NMC Health Plc and Thomas Cook Group Plc in a review of potential causes of business distress and key resilience drivers. This is presented in detail in separate chapters covering business purpose, board effectiveness, the quality of strategic planning, financial stewardship, risk management, business turnaround strategies and director duties in times of business distress. The book sets out a practical benchmarking framework in the form of a toolkit with a series of detailed evidences – performance indicators – that companies can use to assess potential business distress and build a resilient company.

Van Haren Publishing Enterprise Agility: Een Effectieve Transformatie Op Basis Van Principes En Practices
Book SynopsisDit boek helpt (middel)grote organisaties bij het ontwikkelen en vergroten van enterprise agility. Anders gezegd: hoe kan je als organisatie snel en wendbaar waarde leveren in samenwerking met jouw gebruikers? De auteurs geven de lezer niet alleen zicht op wat er nodig is om tot enterprise agility te komen, ze geven ook praktische handvatten die helpen bij het uitvoeren van een dergelijke transformatie. En dit alles gebaseerd op langdurige ervaring met consultancy en trainingen bij grote organisaties, zoals de Nationale politie, Havenbedrijf van Rotterdam en de Belastingdienst.In logische stappen van schaalvergroting nemen de auteurs de lezer vanuit de onderliggende principes mee, via snelle wendbare teams en onderlinge samenwerkingsverbanden naar het ontwikkelen van enterprise agility binnen de gehele organisatie. Bij iedere stap wordt inzichtelijk gemaakt op welke wijze de bijbehorende uitdagingen met passende effectieve aanpakken kunnen worden opgelost, zonder op snelheid en wendbaarheid in te boeten. De auteurs nemen de lezer mee in de keuzes die worden gemaakt en hoe daarbij de bijbehorende consequenties het hoofd te bieden. Bekende theorieën en practices worden op een heldere wijze samengebracht en voorzien van praktische handvatten om er daadwerkelijk mee aan de slag te kunnen gaan.Aan de orde komen uitwerkingen van gewenste patronen als ook het reduceren van al aanwezige anti-patronen. Bekende practices als Scrum, Kanban en Devops, maar ook alle betrokken rollen zoals die van de product owner, het management, ondersteunende teams en kaderstellende afdelingen worden in verhouding tot het geschaald werken gepositioneerd. Om uiteindelijk tot een organisatie te komen waarbij de focus verschuift van output genereren naar impact creëren. Door een praktische insteek wordt de lezer geholpen om zichzelf en anderen te stimuleren om de transformatieperiode zo kort mogelijk te maken en de daadwerkelijke mindshift door te maken.De auteurs hebben gezamenlijk uitgebreide ervaring en deskundigheid waarmee zij individuen tot hele organisaties in beweging weten te brengen.Marco de Jong is sinds 2009 actief als begeleider van transformaties naar Lean en enterprise agility en is één van de grondleggers van het ScALE framework. Hij is sinds 2016 actief als consultant bij de Nationale politie en heeft de organisatie gedurende deze periode intensief begeleid bij de diverse transformatiestappen. In het samenwerken ontdekte Marco in Femke Hille een gedrevenheid op het verhogen van effectiviteit, wat leidde tot de ontwikkeling van een zeer succesvol trainingsprogramma. Dit boek is dan ook een gevolg van deze succesvolle samenwerking en vervult hun beider behoefte aan het delen van kennis en kunde met anderen.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Strategic Leadership for Business Value Creation:
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on leadership and strategy, corporate governance, operational excellence, and corporate social responsibility. In doing so, it offers both conceptual perspectives and case studies on these topics that are targeted at business executives who want to develop and mature towards being successful value creators in their leadership roles. Authored by the former CEO of National Australia Bank (NAB), Don Argus, and business school professor Danny Samson, the book provides insights on the strategic leadership factors that make a significant and positive difference when they are executed effectively and, in contrast, what happens when ineffective leadership/ strategy are deployed. It proposes and illustrates core leadership axioms, and also delves into sustainable development as an element of strategy. The authors do this by developing and illustrating core concepts that relate to the two major case study companies of NAB and BHP.Readers will be particularly interested in the core elements of leadership and strategy, and the grounded reality of how they operated in the case studies. The authors bring insiders’ and leaders’ perspectives to these topics, including tables that document shareholder value creation, and the logic behind strategic decisions, as well as key organisational leadership and strategic decision processes.

ISEAS Advocacy in a Time of Change: Business
Book SynopsisThere are at least 80–100 business associations (such as chambers of commerce or industry-specific bodies) in Malaysia today, representing over 600,000 firms. In February–April 2020, a range of chamber leaders and officers were interviewed to record their experiences of the recent Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration, and any future lessons for business associations in post GE-14 Malaysia.Few Malaysian chambers have had experience in dealing with changes of government, creating challenges when PH took office. Most associations were able to build effective working relationships with the new administration. Compared to Barisan Nasional (BN) ministers, PH ministers emphasized greater policy rigour, more evidence-based arguments, lower tolerance for corruption, and enhanced public accountability. Criticisms of PH include an early focus by some ministers on seemingly trivial issues, an initial distrust of some parts of the public service, and an inability to have all parts of the federal government work cohesively. Some future lessons that business associations have adopted are: avoid taking a partisan stance in policy debates; be prepared for some confusion and lack of clarity in the early days of any new government; expect many existing policies to remain; build relationships with both new ministers and with senior public servants; and ensure that policy positions are well researched and evidence-based. Most associations feel comfortable in adapting to the March 2020 installation of the new Perikatan Nasional administration.Changes in government have also prompted associations to review their own internal policy capacity. Interviewees suggest that chambers may need to enhance their advocacy skills, move away from racially based structures, improve their level of public transparency, become more strategic, and improve their own internal governance and management.

Harvard Business Review Press Higher Ground: How Business Can Do the Right
Book SynopsisAn indispensable guide to help companies navigate the new era of ethical challenges and risks in a volatile global landscape.Today's headlines teem with employee unrest over racial injustice, communities infuriated by corporate environmental impacts, staff anxiety over surveillance, public outrage over corruption in business, and discoveries of child labor in supply chains. We've traveled far and fast from the old world of business ethics, where black-and-white concerns about bribery and fraud could be addressed via rules and processes. Simply maximizing shareholder value while not breaking the law is no longer a tenable approach, but we've never been so confused about what it means to do the right thing—and why it's so important.In this eye-opening, essential book, NYU Stern ethics professor Alison Taylor argues that amid stakeholder demands and transparency pressures, we can no longer treat ethics as merely a legal and reputational defense mechanism. Leaders at Davos and the Business Roundtable have called for a new corporate responsibility paradigm, but organizations struggle to implement these ideas in an atmosphere of heightened expectations and intense suspicion. Offering vivid stories and examples from years working in anti-corruption and advising companies on ethics, Taylor brings this complex, risky environment alive to provide a blueprint for how leaders can rethink and reshape their practices. How can CEOs cut through the noise to set robust environmental and social priorities? When should they speak out on contentious social and political issues—and how? What does it really take to build a healthy organizational culture? How are we to approach corporate values when society itself is so divided?Higher Ground shows leaders how business can navigate this messy paradigm shift, build trust, and achieve long-term strategic advantage in a turbulent world.Trade ReviewAdvance Praise for Higher Ground:"A fresh, realistic guide to navigating the complex social and political pressures businesses face today." — Suzanne DiBianca, Chief Impact Officer, Salesforce"Alison Taylor charts a sensible path for businesses that want to deliver profits for their stockholders while respecting those whose lives their conduct affects. Her practical recommendations for companies to do the right thing build on common ground, transcending partisan labels at a time when restoring the ties that bind us is an urgent priority." — Leo E. Strine Jr., former Chancellor and Chief Justice, Delaware; Michael L. Wachter Distinguished Fellow in Law and Public Policy, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School"Join Alison Taylor for a globe-spanning trek to higher ground through some of the most pressing issues of our time.

Every executive should pay attention to this book." — R. Edward Freeman, University Professor and Elis and Signe Olsson Professor of Business Administration, UVA Darden School of Business"In Higher Ground, Alison Taylor masterfully connects the dots between governance, compliance, ethics, sustainability, and the purpose of a company. She untangles the complexity with surgical precision while remaining empathetic with those who honestly try to do the right thing without being perfect. Definitely a must-read!" — Klaus Moosmayer, Chief Ethics, Risk, and Compliance Officer and member of the Executive Committee, Novartis"A blunt, surprising, inspiring, no-bullsh*t guide to what it really means to be a solid business today and into the future. If you're looking for a way out of the rhetoric and confusion, start with this book and follow Alison Taylor's insightful critique of the evolving business and society landscape." — Jessica Hyman, Chief Sustainability Officer, Atlassian"A practical guide to holding on to your values in a polarized world of work.

Cambridge University Press Beyond Bad Apples
Book SynopsisThe one bad apple spoiling the whole barrel has become a common metaphor used with reference to risk culture in organisations. This inside-out perspective begins with the individual as the unit of analysis and follows with inferences to the broader environment. Since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008, risk culture for many has become the explanation for shortcomings, poor decisions, and moral failures in organisations. This volume presents an institutional perspective of the forces that shape risk culture, and culture more generally, in organisations through a multi-disciplinary examination from a variety of leading academics and subject specialists. The authors demonstrate that firms play a role as manufacturers and managers of risk and they challenge common conceptions that attribute risk to chance circumstances or rogue behaviours. The foundational concepts needed for an institutional view of risk culture are highlighted with subsequent links to significant developments withTrade Review'Culture is contagious, within and across organisations. The global financial crisis provides no better illustration of that cultural contagion and its adverse consequences for individual firms and society at large. That makes understanding culture, its origins and propagation, crucial if we are to keep organisations and our economic and financial systems at a safe distance from cultural cliff-edges. This volume, by international renowned experts in the field, is a valuable contribution to improving both our understanding of organisational culture and the policies needed to avoid a future crashing of cultures.' Andrew Haldane, Chief Economist, Bank of England'As we enter the third decade of the twenty-first century, this is a timely spotlight on the role risk culture has to play as businesses face unprecedented challenges to their operating models. It places the issues in a robustly argued context, with the occasional welcome dose of academic scepticism, providing Boards, the C-Suite and an organisation's risk practitioners with thoughtful perspectives on how to challenge current thinking.' Clare Williams, Global Head of Reputation Management, Barclays'Beyond Bad Apples: Risk Culture in Business provides a much-needed institutional view to a topic that is the lifeblood of organisations and has come to the forefront since the Global Financial Crisis crises. Each of the subject authors brings a unique lens through which the culture discussion is viewed, and provides insightful context for organisations when considering their own risk cultures.' Alan Smith, Global Head of Risk Strategy and Senior Executive Officer of Group Risk, Global Risk, HSBC plc'A strong risk culture is a cornerstone of effective risk management and a competitive advantage for financial and non-financial firms alike. This book is a welcome addition to the literature on risk culture as it addresses the topic in a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary fashion.' Alessandra Mongiardino, Managing Director of Group Financial and Strategic Risks, RBS'Often highlighted as a panacea for firms, but seldom explored and taken forward with the required energy and rigour, 'risk culture' has acquired a new urgency due to the complex uncertainties and emerging threats within today's business environment.

De Gruyter Corporate Governance in Russia: Quo Vadis?
Book SynopsisThis book explores discussions and practice around corporate governance in Russia from the early 1990s until 2018. It covers three major aspects of corporate governance theory and practice: a vision of corporate governance in Russia in the context of global trends and challenges, the general perception of corporate governance in Russia, and the real nature of Russia’s corporate community from the viewpoint of its corporate governance practices. It provides a unique complex analysis and detailed description of how corporate governance has been perceived by both Russian regulators and the business community, and how it has been applied in Russian companies. This analysis covers the period of over 25 years: from early attempts at directing transfer and implanting the Western model of corporate governance to the nascent Russian big private business, up to the period of resurgence of the state as the dominant player both in Russian society and its economy at large. It gives an understanding of what corporate governance is in Russia in the days of "sovereign democracy" and confrontation with the West. It explains how cultural, political, economic and institutional factors have shaped corporate governance in Russia. The authors provide insights into such aspects of Russian corporate governance framework and practices as regulatory philosophy and enforcement, ownership structure, the role of the state, the impact of unfriendly domestic business climate, how the value of corporate governance is perceived in Russian context, etc. Predominantly, the book paints an interesting picture of how the "sovereign corporate governance" model has been shaped in Russia. This book will be useful not just for experts in corporate governance and investors, but also for those who have an interest in modern Russia at large.
