Download or read book De l entrepreneuriat la gouvernance Enjeux et perspectives written by BEN-HAFAÏEDH Cyrine and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le couple « entrepreneuriat et gouvernance » permet de relever les défis économiques. L’entrepreneuriat contribue à la création d’emplois et à la croissance. La gouvernance favorise la pérennité des entreprises nouvelles et leur performance. Le climat créé par une bonne gouvernance a aussi un effet d’entraînement sur l’innovation et l’entrepreneuriat au sein des entreprises. L’objectif est donc de maintenir ce cercle vertueux créateur de valeur pour les pays. Il est alors important non seulement de comprendre les enjeux d’aujourd’hui au niveau de l’entrepreneuriat et de la gouvernance, mais aussi d’anticiper les défis de demain. Ainsi, chaque chapitre analyse un problème à résoudre ou identifie un défi à relever tout en proposant des recommandations pratiques.
Download or read book Law Corporate Governance and Accounting written by Victoria Krivogorsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-04-26 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing internationalization of markets, the relaxation of constraints on capital flows between countries, and the creation of different economic unions -- the European Union in particular -- initiated the flow of capital, goods, and services across national borders, growth and diffusion of shareholding, and increased merger activity among the world’s largest stock exchanges. These changes have stimulated an interest in understanding developments in accounting and corporate governance in a newly qualitative way. Law, Corporate Governance, and Accounting sets out a framework for the analysis of institutional environments as the interconnected key tools of modern public corporations. Along with examining latest developments in the integrated formal structures for the formulation of international accounting principles, analyzing new accounting regulations and the extrapolating on the lessons that can be learned from the harmonization of accounting principles in Europe, this monograph provides the analyses of the convergence in both auditing and corporate governance as well as US perspective on IFRS adoption.

Download or read book Challenging Boardroom Homogeneity written by Aaron A. Dhir and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of gender parity in the governance of business corporations has ignited a heated global debate, leading policymakers to wrestle with difficult questions that lie at the intersection of market activity and social identity politics. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with corporate board directors in Norway and documentary content analysis of corporate securities filings in the United States, Challenging Boardroom Homogeneity empirically investigates two distinct regulatory models designed to address diversity in the boardroom: quotas and disclosure. The author's study of the Norwegian quota model demonstrates the important role diversity can play in enhancing the quality of corporate governance, while also revealing the challenges diversity mandates pose. His analysis of the US regime shows how a disclosure model has led corporations to establish a vocabulary of 'diversity'. At the same time, the analysis highlights the downsides of affording firms too much discretion in defining that concept. This book deepens ongoing policy conversations and offers new insights into the role law can play in reshaping the gendered dynamics of corporate governance cultures.

Download or read book The Ashgate Research Companion to Corporate Social Responsibility written by Nicholas Capaldi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the term corporate social responsibility (CSR) has gained prominence both in business and in the media, not least because of the rise in power of the transnational corporation in an increasingly globalized world.

This Research Companion brings together a team of scholars from around the world to offer their view of the key issues in corporate social responsibility research. Each author is concerned with different aspects of CSR, providing a variety of theoretical lenses and a wide range of perspectives from different countries and experiences. It presentrs scholars and graduate students with a valuable guide to current thinking and a comprehensive reference to this increasingly important field.
Download or read book Stakeholder Theory written by Maria Bonnafous-Boucher and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an academic introduction to, and presentation and defence of stakeholder theory as a model for the strategic management of businesses and corporations, as well as of public organizations and institutions. The concept of the stakeholder is generally applied to parties that affect or are affected by the activities of private or public organizations. Distinct from shareholders, stakeholders are those individuals, entities or communities that have a connection with the activities of a corporation, a firm or an organization. The notion of the stakeholder is intimately linked to a conception of the business firm as an entity founded on negotiated governance, in which the maximization of value for the shareholder is not the ultimate criterion. In this model, issues and interests that are not directly associated with shareholders and investors, but which go beyond capital to encompass the concerns of civil society, are considered to be of central importance. This book provides a broad overview of stakeholder theory, presenting it as an ethical approach to strategic management that is both pragmatic and applicable to developing democratic practices within corporations, while at the same time suggesting ways in which elements of a social contract can be elaborated within the context of globalization.
Download or read book Les meilleures pratiques de gouvernance d entreprise written by Peter Wirtz and published by Editions La Découverte. This book was released on 2008 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis le début des années 1990, les pratiques de gouvernance d'entreprise (fonctionnement du conseil d'administration, indépendance des administrateurs, mise en place de comités d'audit et de rémunération, etc.) ont fait l'objet de nombreuses tentatives de codification. Compte tenu des scandales financiers récurrents, l'observateur intéressé est en droit de s'interroger sur la nature et la valeur des recommandations émises dans les codes de bonne conduite, souvent "vendus" comme des catalogues de " meilleures pratiques". Existe-t-il réellement de " meilleures pratiques" de gouvernance d'entreprise? De quoi s'agit-il ? Quelle est leur valeur, c'est-à-dire quels sont les arguments susceptibles de fonder la définition de "meilleures"? Qui édicte les règles et qui en fait la promotion? Quelle est leur légitimité? Comment s'intègrent-elles dans la législation et dans la pratique des entreprises? Quelle est la pertinence des recommandations actuelles sur les "meilleures pratiques" de gouvernance? Peuvent-elles évoluer? Autant de questions auxquelles ce "Repères" apporte des réponses.

Download or read book Employee Share Ownership and Impacts on Organizational Value and Behavior written by Elouadi, Sara and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-11-19 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employee share ownership is generally put forward as a method of strengthening social ties in the company and a tool for sharing the fruits of growth. The COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted permanent financial damage to businesses and, unfortunately, forced them to consider worst-case-scenarios to mop up liquidity problems. In order to reduce the social cost of the crisis to preserve jobs, companies are called upon to act in solidarity with their employees by promoting employee share ownership. Employee Share Ownership and Impacts on Organizational Value and Behavior gathers informational feedback on the practice of employee share ownership and its effects on the attitude and value of companies and its ability to alleviate the financial damage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Covering topics such as family firms, attitudinal effects, and quality of governance, this book provides an essential resource for employee ownership professionals, business managers, researchers, politicians, decision makers, cooperative businesses, business students, professors, researchers, and academicians.
Download or read book Corporate Boards in Law and Practice written by Paul Davies and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-11-28 with total page 3778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate boards play a central role in corporate governance and are thus regulated in the corporate law and corporate governance codes of all industrialized countries. Yet while there is a common core of rules on the boards considerable differences remain. These differences depend partly on shareholder structure, partly on historical, political and social developments and especially employee representation on the board. More recently, in particular with the rise of the international corporate governance code movement, there is a clear tendency towards convergence, at least in terms of the formal provisions of the codes. This book analyses the corporate boards, their regulation in law and codes and their actual functioning in ten European countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom). It offers the most up to date practical and analytical information on boards in Europe by leading company law experts. The issues addressed include: board structure, composition and functioning (one tier v. two tier, independent directors, expertise and diversity, separating the chair and the CEO functions, information streams, committees, voting and employee representation); enforcement by liability rules (in particular conflicts of interest), incentive structures (remuneration) and shareholder activism.
