Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the tasks and functions of corporate governance in the light of current challenges and the dynamics that arise from a broader approach to company management and the integration of corporate governance with corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability. Addressing the corporate governance shortcomings that are believed to have contributed to the recent financial crisis, it explores the interplay between corporate governance and CSR, and includes examples of company practice to show how such changes affect the practices of shareholders, boards of directors and regulators. In particular, the book examines shareholders’ activities, their different investment strategies, specific reporting expectations and the submission of proposals to the annual meeting. Further, for boards of directors it explores the need to revise their tasks with respect to the criteria for executive appointments, their corporate strategy, performance measures and diversity recommendations, while for directors it provides recommendations to reconsider the structure of executive pay and performance incentives. Lastly, for regulators the book investigates the need to introduce new laws addressing, for instance, the need for integrated reporting, limiting the voice of short term oriented shareholders and providing guidelines for executive compensation.

Download or read book La responsabilit sociale delle imprese un percorso verso lo sviluppo sostenibile written by Federica Balluchi and published by G Giappichelli Editore. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sostenibilità e la Responsabilità Sociale d’Impresa (RSI) rappresentano un tema di profondo interesse da parte delle imprese e degli operatori economici, politici e sociali. Per le realtà aziendali, è ormai di tutta evidenza che un successo economico duraturo non può prescindere dall’ottenimento e dal mantenimento del consenso dei propri stakeholder. È necessario quindi contemperare i molteplici interessi dei soggetti coinvolti e interessati all’attività svolta, in una prospettiva che abbraccia le istanze di natura reddituale e quelle di natura etico-sociale e ambientale. Nella definizione delle strategie aziendali è fondamentale valutare le attese di diversa natura e i differenti livelli di partecipazione e coinvolgimento che qualificano il rapporto fra azienda e stakeholder, radicando profondamente l’assunzione di responsabilità sociale nella governance aziendale. Nondimeno, gli aspetti di comunicazione della RSI rivestono un ruolo fondamentale sia per quanto attiene all’adempimento dei doveri assunti dall’azienda nei confronti dei propri stakeholder, sia con riferimento alla legittimazione che da una trasparente e attendibile comunicazione può derivare. Alla luce di quanto osservato, il volume si propone di offrire una lettura dei principali elementi di analisi in ambito di responsabilità sociale, con particolare riferimento agli aspetti di governance e di comunicazione. Sono quindi trattati i concetti fondamentali in tema di sostenibilità, responsabilità sociale d’impresa ed etica d’impresa considerandoli in una prospettiva strategica di governance aziendale. Successivamente il lavoro si concentra sulla comunicazione aziendale, con particolare riferimento agli strumenti di accountability diretta e di gestione della RSI.Il libro è il frutto della riflessione e dell’esperienza maturata da un gruppo di docenti e ricercatori che da tempo si occupano di sostenibilità, etica e responsabilità sociale di impresa; ogni contributo nasce dall’elaborazione personale dei diversi Autori, sia pure collocandosi in un comune e condiviso quadro di riferimento.

Download or read book People and Profits written by Joshua Daniel Margolis and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001-04-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the relationship between the social performance of companies and their financial performance? More colloquially, can a firm effectively attend to both people and profits as it conducts its business? This question has been investigated in no fewer than 95 empirical studies published since 1972. The authors have assembled a compendium of this research to give researchers and practitioners alike a broad overview of these 95 studies and a systematic database detailing the content of each one. This book provides a comprehensive portrait of this research literature. It begins with a broad orientation to the literature, exploring why the link between social and financial performance has been subject to continual inquiry and often heated debate. The authors then present an integrated overview of the 95 studies. Through the charts and tables, the authors illuminate the nature of the studies conducted; the data samples selected for investigation; the ways in which financial and social performance have been measured; and the overall tally of results.

Download or read book Economia etica e impresa socialmente responsabile written by Vincenzo Freda and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In un'epoca di grandi trasformazioni e di forte aumento della competizione a livello globale è possibile parlare ancora di responsabilità dell'impresa, al di là della ricerca del profitto? In un contesto sempre più difficile e infido, dove il problema per le imprese è quello di sopravvivere, l'agire economico può tener conto delle sue conseguenze, anche al di là del calcolo costi-benefici? A domande come queste si è provato a dare risposta tracciando un percorso dall'analisi delle opzioni interpretative del concetto di responsabilità sociale dell'impresa fino ai possibili sbocchi operativi dal punto di vista delle azioni imprenditoriali. Chiude la ricerca un breve profilo della concezione olivettiana della fabbrica che costituisce un'esperienza unica nel panorama del capitalismo nazionale e internazionale e un'anticipazione di quello che è oggi il tema dell'etica nell'economia e nel mercato del lavoro.

Download or read book Developing Corporate Social Responsibility written by Francesco Perrini and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Perrini et al provide a detailed, authoritative look at the evolving European perspective on corporate social responsibility. They show how Europe has moved from follower status to leading edge practice. The book is the best current indicator of what the next stages of CSR will look like.' - Thomas W. Dunfee, University of Pennsylvania, US The rapidly increasing attention devoted to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has resulted in the term 'CSR' being applied to myriad dissimilar phenomena. The authors therefore aim to dispel this confusion by presenting a multi-faceted view of socially responsible corporate behavior and related themes. They provide a conceptualization of CSR that emphasizes the role of the adoption and implementation of specific CSR strategies and their impact on corporate social and economic performance.

Download or read book The Imagined Immigrant written by Ilaria Serra and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using original sources--such as newspaper articles, silent movies, letters, autobiographies, and interviews--Ilaria Serra depicts a large tapestry of images that accompanied mass Italian migration to the U.S. at the turn of the twentieth century. She chooses to translate the Italian concept of immaginario with the Latin imago that felicitously blends the double English translation of the word as "imagery" and "imaginary." Imago is a complex knot of collective representations of the immigrant subject, a mental production that finds concrete expression; impalpable, yet real. The "imagined immigrant" walks alongside the real one in flesh and rags.
