Book excerpt: La dualité "comptes sociaux" - "comptes consolidés" ouvre des perspectives très paradoxales quant à l'information financière des groupes de sociétés : quel crédit donner à des comptes sociaux d'une société mère (ou toute autre société du groupe) si l'on accepte la validité des comptes consolidés associés, et inversement? La mise en évidence de ces contradictions conduit naturellement à s'interroger sur les points suivants : - la fiabilité et le contenu des valeurs financières consolidées, pourtant diffusées et utilisées de manière extensive ; - la réelle supériorité des comptes consolidés sur les comptes sociaux, notamment dans l'étude de la société consolidante. A l’analyse il s'avère que : - l'information financière consolidée présente une grande "flexibilité" naturelle due aux effets structurels des groupes. De fait, sa sensibilité potentielle a de nombreux facteurs, notamment stratégiques, ne plaide pas en faveur de sa robustesse; - l'information financière consolidée ne présente pas une "fidélité" (au sens de la théorie de la mesure) statistiquement meilleure que celle des comptes sociaux; il en va de même pour sa validité (au sens théorie de la mesure). En conclusion, rien ne montre la réelle supériorité de l'information financière consolidée. Seul son caractère purement "indicatif" reste plausible.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette thèse a pour objet de proposer une réponse à la question : + quels sont les déterminants de la qualité de l'information comptable diffusée par les entreprises françaises dans leurs rapports annuels? ; la réponse apportée est à la fois théorique et empirique. Un modèle théorique explicatif de la qualité de l'information diffusée est élaboré. Ce modèle recense une trentaine de déterminants potentiels et théorise les relations entre ces déterminants et la qualité de l'information comptable et entre les déterminants eux-mêmes. L'étude empirique propose une mesure et une analyse de la qualité de l'information diffusée, au cours de la période 1991-1995, par un échantillon de cent entreprises françaises cotées. Le pouvoir explicatif réel de variables issues du modèle théorique est vérifié. Quatre variables sont retenues : la diffusion du capital, la structure financière, le statut de cotation et les performances réalisées. Pour mesurer la qualité de l'information comptable, un indice est élaboré. L'indice est constitué d'une liste d'items élaborée à partir d'une définition du concept de qualité. La sélection des items s'appuie en particulier sur les opinions émises par la profession des analystes financiers sur l'offre d'informations des entreprises françaises. Afin d'attribuer des notes de qualité aux rapports annuels, une pondération est associée aux items qui reflète l'importance que leur attribue la population des analystes financiers. Les résultats de cette recherche contribuent à la connaissance des caractéristiques de la diffusion d'informations en France et des préoccupations qui la déterminent. Ils mettent également en évidence des éléments d'évolution qui rapprochent la pratique française des pratiques anglo-saxonnes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process Engineering, the science and art of transforming raw materials and energy into a vast array of commercial materials, was conceived at the end of the 19th Century. Its history in the role of the Process Industries has been quite honorable, and techniques and products have contributed to improve health, welfare and quality of life. Today, industrial enterprises, which are still a major source of wealth, have to deal with new challenges in a global world. They need to reconsider their strategy taking into account environmental constraints, social requirements, profit, competition, and resource depletion. “Systems thinking” is a prerequisite from process development at the lab level to good project management. New manufacturing concepts have to be considered, taking into account LCA, supply chain management, recycling, plant flexibility, continuous development, process intensification and innovation. This book combines experience from academia and industry in the field of industrialization, i.e. in all processes involved in the conversion of research into successful operations. Enterprises are facing major challenges in a world of fierce competition and globalization. Process engineering techniques provide Process Industries with the necessary tools to cope with these issues. The chapters of this book give a new approach to the management of technology, projects and manufacturing. Contents Part 1: The Company as of Today 1.

Download or read book Law Society and Industrial Justice written by Philip Selznick and published by Quid Pro Books. This book was released on 2020-05-23 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LAW, SOCIETY, AND INDUSTRIAL JUSTICE is a foundational study of workplace justice, still engaging and referenced a half-century after its original publication. The 50th Anniversary Edition adds an extensive, substantive Foreword by Berkeley’s Lauren Edelman. She writes that the book “remains important for how it conceptualizes law, for how it conceptualizes organizations, and for the theory Selznick offers regarding the moral evolution of organizations as they become ‘institutions,’ or living entities infused with values.” It is “a profound book for many reasons,” as she critically examines. Norms and values still matter in organizational governance — even in what amounts to “private government” — as this classic work reminds us. “Selznick’s classic text invites the reader to understand the interplay of formal and informal structures that produce new organizational norms, which, at their best, would replace workplace arbitrariness with due process protections like those embodied in the Rule of Law. It is not just an extraordinary contribution to the fields of sociology and jurisprudence, it is the theoretically foundational precursor to entire subfields in sociology and law.” — Laura Beth Nielsen, Chair, Department of Sociology, Northwestern University; Research Professor, ABF “Philip Selznick laid the foundation for one of law and society’s most vibrant areas of inquiry: law and organizations. Although this book has often been underappreciated, its 50th anniversary is a good opportunity to reassess its significance. Indeed, the current #MeToo movement lends more urgency to Selznick’s highly relevant ideas about conceptualizing organizations as legal orders, the importance of changing norms and values, the role of law within organizations, and organizations’ influence on the law.” — Ashley T. Rubin, Sociology, University of Hawai‘i at Manoa “Selznick’s study is undoubtedly the most erudite and imaginative example of the natural-law approach to appear. ... It is a very fine, even extraordinary piece of legal scholarship. It displays much craftsmanship, depth of learning, and creativity. It is elegant in style and graceful in presentation. Every legal sociologist should read it.” — Donald J. Black, American Journal of Sociology “A contribution, brilliant and substantial, to the literature on private government.” — Winston M. Fisk, American Political Science Review “Very enlightening and reminiscent of a good lecturer able to pull all the strings together chapter by chapter. ... The volume can be recommended to all students of law, industrial organization, and industrial relations.” — Industrial and Labor Relations Review

Download or read book The Dynamics and Challenges of Tetranormalization written by Henri Savall and published by IAP. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume continues the collaboration between the RMC book series and the French management research think tank ISEOR (Socio-Economic Institute for Firms and Organizations). Those familiar with Henri Savall’s and his colleague Véronique Zardet’s earlier work on the socio-economic theory of organizations will recognize their assessments of organizational dysfunctions and hidden costs – but in a different context. In their current work, the emphasis is on the tensions created by the wider environment – the idea of tetranormalization – and how those tensions shape and influence organizational life. Drawing on a wide range of examples from the news media and popular press, Savall and Zardet paint a disturbing picture of the underlying dynamics and challenges posed by a literal avalanche of standards and norms – which are often ambiguous and conflicting – that literally encompasses all that we do. Their analytic framework is composed of four “poles” – two social dimensions and two economic dimensions – that capture social norms and quality, safety and environment standards (the social dimension), and trade-related norms and accounting and financial standards (the economic dimension). Throughout the volume, Savall and Zardet’s analysis captures the myriad ways in which these dimensions interact, shaping the “rules of the game” that dictate how organizations compete and collaborate. Differentiating the “rules of the game” from “playing with” those rules, they delve into the subtleties and nuances that underlie these “poles,” providing further insight into how these forces are manipulated through lobbying and the seemingly 24/7 cycle of exposing, publicizing and rule-making surrounding social and economic as well as scientific and technological controversies. As Savall and Zardet argue, we are in the midst of a profound upheaval that will play havoc with our economic and social lives for some time to come. If we are going to exert influence on that reality, the challenges that we face moving forward must be conceptualized, constructed and implemented today, for, as they argue, “the road to durable prosperity will be a long haul.” Yet, moving beyond these challenges per se, they underscore that we are also presented with an exceptional opportunity – the very real opportunity to create a sustainable commitment to responsible and responsive organizational performance, one that can be fuelled and financed by our ability to translate the hidden costs that exist in all our organizations into productive, value-added activities and true wealth creation. Their analysis presents an intriguing challenge to traditional notions of corporate social responsibility, delving into the idea of “durably acceptable” responsibility, ways to facilitate greater stakeholder engagement, and how we can capture ongoing and sustainable improvement in organizational performance.

Book excerpt: The impetus for this work emerged from Savall’s belief that there is a doubleloop interaction between social and economic factors in organizations, between behaviors and structures, and between the quality of life in organizations and their economic performance. When managers underestimate this dynamic interaction, the resulting tension ultimately manifests in lowered performance and increased costs, what he refers to as the “hidden costs” of organizational life. Only by delving into the depths of these organizational dynamics can we hope to fully understand – and create the basis for improving – organizational performance. The Qualimetrics Approach presents a different and challenging way of thinking about analyzing organizations, one that draws together quantitative information, financial analysis and qualitative insights into organizational dynamics. As Savall and Zardet argue, to gain a true understanding of what is happening in organizations, intervener-researchers must focus on all three perspectives, as ignoring any one of them will lead to incomplete understandings. Their approach underscores the importance of using qualitative data to validate quantitative depictions (“the numbers”) of organizational performance in understanding the construction of financial statements. The strength of Savall and Zardet’s approach is that it pushes us to go deeper, to fully understand the narratives underlying the numbers and the social construction of our financial assessments.

This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electoral law, like all other fields of law, Is effective only if it provides for sanctions. The cancellation of elections results, The most serious of sanctions, Is in general linked To The most serious of irregularities, especially when its effects are felt beyond a small constituency. However, small technical inaccuracies may affect election results if the difference in votes is minimal, As recent examples such as the notorious 2000 United States presidential elections have shown. This book aims to determine when electoral disputes should lead to such a consequence, based on the practice of national, constitutional and supreme courts throughout Europe, As well as on the practice of the European Court of Human Rights. This publication contains the reports presented at the Seminar on Cancellation of Election Results, organised by the Venice Commission in co-operation with the Constitutional Court of Malta And The Maltese Ministry of Justice and Home Affairs, On 14 and 15 November 2008.
