Download or read book How to Measure Performance in a Purposeful Company Analysing the Status Quo written by Judith C. Stroehle and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the relevance of the British Academy Principles for Purposeful Business in the area of corporate measurement and performance. Because measurement and performance are critical for effective and sustainable management, the success of putting purpose into practice hinges on the ability to create metrics beyond solely financial standards and benchmarks. Drawing on expert interviews, case studies and document analysis, this paper analyses the current ecosystem of “non-financial” measures, discussing which frameworks and methodologies organisations can choose from and how these may differ in utility. It further explores whether and how metrics can be practically integrated with the traditional financial performance measurement, such as profits and capital investments. This inquiry provides an analysis of the remaining gap between existing non-financial measurement and accounting efforts and their full integration into organizations. The paper concludes with a discussion of three areas in which non-financial measurement is believed to be most impactful: investment practice, management decision making & incentivization, and corporate governance.
Download or read book Responsible Leadership in Corporate Governance written by Monique Cikaliuk and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-31 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responsibly led boards of directors make it possible for modern companies to survive and prosper under conditions of change. Despite the importance of boards of directors, their activities are often lionised or vilified by shareholders and stakeholders which obscures how boards enact responsible leadership. Responsible Leadership in Corporate Governance: An Integrative Approach introduces an integrative model of responsible leadership in governance that positions the board as a nexus of all corporate participants. In this model, responsibly led boards seek to make decisions in the best interests of the modern company as an entity that operates in a dynamic business environment. This book provides a timely focus on in-depth cases of board led responsible leadership. Examining boards of directors in listed companies, state-owned enterprises, and private companies, the book connects insights from corporate governance and leadership to behaviours that affect boards’ relationships with shareholders and stakeholders. In addition, these insights underscore key requirements and challenges of responsible leadership in governance: from the importance of purpose and the crucial role of value creation to the difficulties of ownership transition and accountability. Far-sighted and experienced-based, this book will not only help students connect to real world situations but also will benefit those that interact with and support boards of directors.
