Springer Transfer Pricing and Valuation in Corporate Taxation: Federal Legislation vs. Administrative Practice
Book SynopsisTransfer Pricing and Valuation in Corporate Taxation analyzes the disparities between both federal statutes and regulations, and r- ulations and administrative practice, in a highly controversial area of corporate tax policy: intra-company transfer pricing for tax p- poses. It addresses issues that often mean millions of dollars to in- vidual corporations, and a significant fraction of the federal gove- ment’s revenue base. These disparities between law, regulations, and administrative practice are concerning on a number of grounds. First, they - pose considerable economic costs by inducing corporations to engage in a variety of “rent-seeking” activities designed to reduce their - pected tax liabilities, and by requiring the IRS to devote still more to enforcement efforts that are very often futile. Second, they are in- ; herently undemocratic. Administrative practice is currently ad hoc by relying on dispute resolution procedures that can and do yield very different settlements on disputed tax issues from one case to another, the IRS often ends up treating similarly situated cor- rations very differently. Moreover, to the extent that the disp- ity between statute and implementation reflects the IRS’s failure to carry out Congress’ will, the laws passed by duly elected officials are effectively being superseded by administrative procedure, developed incrementally by individuals who are not answerable to an electorate.Table of ContentsPreface.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Workers and Margins: Grasping Erasures and
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on informal workers and margins and seeks to advance the discourse on the concepts of ‘work’, ‘workers’ and ‘margins’. By largely focusing on informal, non-formal and non-industrial sector workers where unionism, collective bargaining, and labour laws have little influence, the book promotes approaches to understanding alternate worker politics and organising practices. As such, it presents an alternative to conventional approaches to understanding workers in management and organisation studies. The book draws attention to the mechanisms of erasure implicit in disciplinary and governmental practices that allow the worker to remain invisible. By making the worker visible, it seeks to go beyond economistic and psychological approaches to work(ing) to understand the worker as a human being, with all the complexity, vulnerability and agency that status implies. Further, it seeks to go beyond worker victimhood to gather narratives of workers’ worlds and the possibility of alternate worlds. The contributing authors bring together diverse perspectives from fields including industrial relations, environment, displacement, collective action, livelihoods, rural development, MSMEs, organisational behaviour and entrepreneurship to present a textured and multidimensional view of workers and their worlds.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Workers and Margins: Grasping Erasures and Possibilities within Management Studies.- Section 1: Conceptual Aspects on Workers and Margins.- Chapter 2: Skill Formation and Precarious Labour: The Role of Industrial Training Institutes in India 1950-2018.- Chapter 3: Labor Beyond the Labor Market: Interrogating Marginality.- Chapter 4: Representation of Worker Marginalization and Quest for Livelihood Justice.- Chapter 5: Death of the Artisan: An Indigenous View on Marginalisation.- Section 2: Being Marginal.- Chapter 6: The Literary Worlds of Workers: Narratives of Art from the Margins.- Chapter 7: The Cosmos of Public Sector Township: Democracy as an Intellectual Culture.- Chapter 8: Marginality and its Contestations: A Case of Mining Affected in Goa.- Chapter 9: The Anti-power of the Marginalised: A postcolonial Perspective.- Chapter 10: Occupational Prestige and Informal Work: Women Domestic Workers in India.- Section 3: Surviving Marginalisation.- Chapter 11: Putting the Marginalised out of the Margins: Role of Mobilisation, Collectivisation and Livelihood Interventions.- Chapter 12: Getting Marginalised and Surviving.- Chapter 13: Leather Artisans-Workers and Global Value Chains: Protecting Autonomy, Enacting Dissent.- Chapter 14: CSO, Livelihoods and Margins.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Social Values and Social Indicators: Essays in
Book SynopsisThe book is a collection of essays written since 2010, and dealing, in one way or another, with the place of values in economic analysis. The centrality of values in the collection is not surprising, given that the thematic concerns informing the essays in the book relate principally to methodological issues in economic enquiry, to the normatively constrained aggregation of personal preferences into collective choice, and to problems of logical coherence and ethical appeal in the axiom systems underlying the measurement of economic and social phenomena such as poverty, inequality and literacy. While many of the essays are more or less technical in nature, they are all explicitly motivated by considerations that go beyond the formalisms of presentation to an involvement with the role of moral reasoning in economic analysis. In particular, the essays emphasize the importance of ‘ought propositions’ in a science which is all too often regarded as being wholly and exclusively ‘positive’ in its orientation. The book should be of particular interest to researchers, students, and public policy makers.Table of ContentsChapter 1: “Instrumentalism” and Friedman’s Methodology: A Short Objection.- Chapter 2: A Sort of Paretian Liberalism.- Chapter 3: Liberty, Equality, and Impossibility: Some General Results in the Space of “Soft” Preferences.- Chapter 4: The Arrow Paradox with Fuzzy Preferences.- Chapter 5: Equality, Priority, and Distributional Judgements.- Chapter 6: Two Logical and Normative Issues Relating to Measurement in the Social Sciences.- Chapter 7: Social Groups and Economic Poverty: A Problem in Measurement.- Chapter 8: Reckoning Sub-Group Poverty Differentials in the Measurement of Aggregate Poverty.- Chapter 9: Poverty Measurement in the Presence of a “Group Affiliation Externality”.- Chapter 10: Revisiting the Normalization Axiom in Poverty Measurement.- Chapter 11: The Focus Axiom and Poverty: On the Co-existence of Precise Language and Ambiguous Meaning in Economic Measurement.- Chapter 12: Assessing Inequality in the Presence of Growth.- Chapter 13: Revisiting an Old Theme in the Measurement of Inequality and Poverty.- Chapter 14: Inequality Measurement with Subgroup Decomposability and Level-Sensitivity.

Institute of Southeast Asian Studies Zheng He's Art of Collaboration: Understanding
Book Synopsis""Know your enemies, know yourself"", advised Sun Zi in his famous Art of War (AoW). In contrast, the legendary Admiral Zheng He would have said, ""Know your collaborators, know yourself"", and this would be the essence of his Art of Collaboration (AoC). This book offers a fresh new approach to doing business and providing leadership in the twenty-first century, where Zheng He's peaceful and win-win collaborative paradigm present in his AoC provides an alternative to the aggressive and antagonistic mindset inherent in Sun Zi's AoW. The author has culled from the existing literature on the historical, cultural, diplomatic, and maritime-oriented Zheng He, connected the dots of his discovery of a managerial Zheng He, and wrote this book to present both the big message of Zheng He's Art of Collaboration as well as an understanding of Zheng He's specific work as a leader and manager.

ISEAS The Dragon's Underbelly: Dynamics and Dilemmas in
Book SynopsisThis book shows why Vietnam has not become the dragon it is often touted to be. The team of authors include both long-time observers and junior scholars who present cutting-edge research on the latest trends as well as major challenges facing the country's economy and political system. As Vietnam seeks to escape from poverty and the legacies of mistaken socialist policies, its economy has become fully integrated into the global economy. Yet, without an effective and far-sighted leadership, it is still occupying a low position in the global value chains and becoming increasingly dependent on China. Politically, after three decades of reform, the Vietnamese Communist Party's grip on power has well adapted to the market economy, but is confronting deep vulnerabilities as observed in its eroding ability to control workers, the media, public universities, and state-owned enterprises. The book also includes a section that applies formal and statistical methods to compare Vietnam with China in two critical areas of political accountability and anti-corruption policy.

Springer Verlag, Singapore An Empirical Study of SOE Corporate Governance
Book SynopsisThis book investigates the institutional characteristics of state-linked firms in Vietnam to draw lessons for investors/MNCs targeting Vietnam and other emerging markets in the region. Vietnam and many other ASEAN countries have gone through a period of privatization and equitization of wholly controlled SOEs, with the State retaining partial ownership in many privatized businesses. This book explains the dynamic relationships between the State, BODs, shareholders, and regulators and their influence on corporate governance and SOE performance. This book differs from other publications in that it extrapolates the findings from our study to a broader context on how the defined internal mechanisms implicate the local economy and global supply chains/markets. This book investigates robust theoretical foundations, and rigorous applied empirical research underpin the role of the State in SOEs. It differs from other studies in terms of qualitative and empirical research to provide the contextual setting to elucidate how to successfully navigate emerging market business with the State as an "owner-participant." This book explains the theoretical constructs of corporate governance in SOEs, applies empirical research methodologies, and draws results to validate inferences to (1) investigate the link between the board of directors and ownership attributes and agency cost levels using Vietnamese listed firms for the period from 2006 to 2013, (2) evaluate the effectiveness of State's corporate initiatives and monitoring through its sovereign wealth fund known as the State Capital Investment Corporation (SCIC), and (3) infer and explain the motivation of the State as a shareholder. This book takes cognizance of Vietnam's idiosyncratic institutional (using its sovereign wealth fund as an investment vehicle and management proxy), economic, regulatory, and corporate environments and the realities for developing an effective and sustainable business model, vis-à-vis the ownership structure, board of directors' composition and corporate governance, for better business performance. While the focus is on Vietnam, the content is also relevant to the role of the State in other emerging markets as a player in shaping the business strategy, model, and direction of SOEs. Table of ContentsChapter 1. Introduction.- Chapter 2. Role of Vietnam in a changing global economy.- Chapter 3. Literature on corporate governance and ownership structure.- Chapter 4. Vietnam’s corporate governance, regulatory and institutional settings.- Chapter 5. Empirical research methodology.- Chapter 6.

Information Age Publishing The Plight of Stigmatized Groups in Organizations
Book SynopsisPeople are often stigmatized by virtue of their status on such dimensions as race, ethnicity, gender, age, weight, disability, or sexual orientation, and this book deals with the plight of those who are stigmatized in organizations. For example, they often experience prejudice, unfair discrimination, mistreatment, and exclusion from organizations and society as a whole. As a result, there has been an increased interest in developing ways to decrease the negative experiences of stigmatized groups, increase their inclusion in organizations, and ensure that they have the opportunity to enjoy a satisfying work life. Despite an increased interest in decreasing the negative experiences of stigmatized groups, most of the studies in human resource management (HR) and organizational behavior (OB) have focused on only a subset of these individuals including African-Americans, women, older workers, and people with physical disabilities (Dipboye & Colella, 2005). A number of other stigmatized groups have been practically neglected by organizational research including people with psychological disabilities (e.g., anxiety and depressive disorders), Asian Americans, immigrants, those with foreign accents, individuals with different sexual orientations, people who are single in organizations, women entering the corporate suite, and adolescents. Thus, the primary purposes of this issue of Research in HRM is to consider research on The plight of stigmatized groups in organizations, and foster research on those groups who have been neglected in organizational research.In view of these arguments, this issue (a) presents a brief review of the research on the plight of several stigmatized groups in organizations (e.g., Asian Americans, those with psychological disabilities, people who are single, women entering the corporate suite, and individuals with different sexual orientations, (b) identify needed research on these stigmatized groups, © offer directions for future research, and (c) consider the implications for practice that can decrease the negative experiences of these group members, and facilitate their inclusion in organizational settings.

WW Norton & Co Nomadland
Book SynopsisThe end of retirement?Trade Review"Stunning and beautifully written. . . brilliant and haunting" -- Arlie Russell Hochschild - New York Times Book Review"People who thought the 2008 financial collapse was over a long time ago need to meet the people Jessica Bruder got to know in this scorching, beautifully written, vivid, disturbing (and occasionally wryly funny) book. Nomadland is a testament both to the generosity and creativity of the victims of our modern-medieval economy, hidden in plain sight, and to the blunt-end brutality that put them there. Is this the best the wealthiest nation on earth can do for those who’ve already done so much?" -- Rebecca Solnit, author of A Paradise Built in Hell"In the early twentieth century, men used to ride the rails in search of work, sharing camps at night. Today, as Bruder brilliantly reports, we have a new class of nomadic workers who travel in their RVs from one short-term job to another. There’s a lot to cringe at here—from low pay and physically exhausting work to constant insecurity. But surprisingly, Nomadland also offers its residents much-needed camaraderie and adventure, which makes this book a joy to read." -- Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed"The campsite as the home of last resort, the RV used not for vacation but for survival: these are the makings of a new dystopia. Nomadland is a smart road book for the new economy, full of conviviality and dark portent." -- Ted Conover, author of Rolling Nowhere and Immersion"You will never forget the people whose stories Bruder tells. Proud, resourceful, screwed-over, funny and in so many ways admirable, the American nomads Bruder lived with and reports on have sometimes lost everything but their bravado . . . . [She] tells their stories with humanity and wit." -- Louise Erdrich, author of Future Home of the Living God"“Bruder is a poised and graceful writer.”" -- Parul Sehgal - New York Times"[A] devastating, revelatory book." -- Timothy R. Smith - Washington Post"Some readers will come because they're enamored of road narratives, but Bruder's study should be of interest to anyone who cares about the future of work, community, and retirement." -- Peter C. Baker - Pacific Standard"[I]mportant, eye-opening journalism." -- Kim Ode - Minneapolis Star Tribune"[A] powerhouse of a book. . . . In the best immersive-journalism tradition, Bruder records her misadventures driving and living in a van. . . . Visceral and haunting reporting." -- Booklist, starred review
