Contemporary Studies in Corporate Law

Challenge your understanding of corporate, securities, and financial law and regulation with this ground-breaking book. Featuring incisive research from preeminent scholars in the field, this seminal work interrogates long-standing assumptions and beliefs that have remained unexamined for decades. Taking a novel approach, the book serves as both a conceptual 'deconstruction' and a foundation for future research directions. Each chapter delves deep into the often-overlooked origins, mechanics and implications of outdated or misleading concepts (termed 'fallacies') that form the backbone of contemporary corporate and securities laws, financial regulations and related domains. Beyond simply identifying these fallacies, the authors illustrate the profound implications of recalibrating our analytic perspectives. By expanding the spectrum of inquiry and moving along multiple continuums - such as public to private, micro to macro, transactional to structural, individual to systemic, and static to dynamic - this volume underscores the transformative potential of re-envisioning the fundamentals of these fields. An essential read, this book promises to be a catalyst for change and a must-have for anyone committed to staying at the forefront of law and policy.

Understand how circular economy principles reshape business strategy and practice. The Circular Economy by Suzanne Smit and Uthayasankar Sivarajah is a practical and theory-informed textbook for postgraduate and final-year undergraduate students studying Circular Economy, Sustainable Business and related business and management courses. Aligned with contemporary module outcomes, it addresses why circular economy thinking is essential for modern business and how organizations can embed sustainability across core functions. The textbook examines how businesses can plan, implement and manage circular transitions by integrating circular economy principles, metrics and decision-making frameworks into everyday business activity. Structured around four interrelated stages, it explores strategic planning, resource organization, leadership and control mechanisms that enable organizations to move from linear to circular models. Real-world examples from Ikea, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, The Guararapes Group and Flying Tiger demonstrate how circular strategies are applied in practice across industries and regions. This textbook includes: - A four-part framework covering planning, organizing, leading and controlling circular economy initiatives - Clear explanations of circular economy theories, strategies and performance metrics - Application of circular principles to finance, operations, supply chain management and business storytelling - Real-world examples illustrating how organizations manage circular transitions &gt;Whether studying sustainable business or preparing for roles in strategy, operations or sustainability, this textbook equips students with the knowledge and practical insight needed to support and lead circular transformation in organizations.

Strategies and Principles for Responsible Businesses

The Circular Economy

The purpose of this book is to connect the three domains of (1) ESG investment, (2) Industrie 4.0, and (3) blockchain technology through the common concept of “data,” and to illustrate how these elements are transforming modern industrial structures and corporate governance. The book is organized into four parts, introducing the key concepts and theoretical models necessary for understanding its structure.
First, the chapter reinterprets ESG investment&nbsp;through the lens of Max Weber’s ethics, positioning environmental, social, and governance factors not merely as indicators but as essential “information” that shapes corporate decision-making. It also examines the differences between ESG and SRI (using Euler and Venn diagrams), addresses the challenges of greenwashing and possible countermeasures, and discusses how pension systems incorporate future value.
Next, using the automotive industry as an example, the chapter explains how Industrie 4.0, the IoT, and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are reshaping production processes and governance structures. A key point here is the shift from a traditional understanding of corporate value—once perceived in a “reified” form—to a society in which such value is increasingly visualized and assessed through data. By applying frameworks such as Porter’s Value Chain and Stan Shih’s Smiling Curve, the chapter analyzes the datafication of corporate behavior and its implications.
Furthermore, the chapter explores how the development of blockchain technology contributes to rebuilding trust, advancing decentralized governance, and enhancing transparency. This reflects a transition from an economy centered on production to one in which the “design of exchange” plays a central role in determining value.
Finally, the chapter employs interdisciplinary models—such as the Stakeholder Matrix, the St. Gallen Management Model, POW and POS, Hegelian dialectics, and Popper’s Three Worlds—to show how these three domains interact and complement one another as society moves, often unconsciously, toward a more sustainable economic model. Blockchain technology, in particular, serves as a key to understanding this transition, offering insights into how forms of exchange rooted in capitalist “reification” or “fetishism” are being reshaped.

ESG Investment, German Industrie 4.0, and Blockchain

The skills that built your business will destroy it if you don't evolve.

You created value by operating, deciding, and leading from the front. But companies that depend on founders die with them - not from competition, but from continuity failure. The hardest shift in business isn't growth. It's stepping back from operations while ensuring strategic discipline that outlives you.

Most owners get this transition wrong. They cling to running the company or walk away entirely. Both choices destroy value.

Whether you're an owner stepping back, a CEO navigating ownership dynamics, a board member seeking oversight clarity, a CFO bridging operations and ownership, or a family office protecting generational wealth-this is your evolution manual. Not theory-systems. Not advice-architecture. Not wishful thinking-what actually endures.

You'll learn how to:

Shape strategy without running execution
Judge CEOs and management without interference
Build succession that sustains value, not personalities
Allocate capital with discipline that outlasts leadership
Create governance that protects performance across generations

Ownership is not a reward for building a business.

It is a responsibility to protect what survives without you.

How Non-Executive Owners Build Companies That Outlive Them

The Strategic Steward

Technology governance is about choices. Every company must choose the technologies it adopts and how it will deploy them. Those choices matter.

Market forces, technology architecture, norms, and laws all have a strong effect on the choices that any company makes in adopting new technologies. Navigating those forces and deciding how to make the right choices is up to the company's leaders. Choosing digital trust is key to mitigating risk and building trustworthy innovation. Written by corporate governance expert Daniel Dobrygowski, Technology Governance helps business leaders identify and make the choices that will lead to trust and long-term success in a constantly evolving technology landscape.

Focusing on how to earn trust in new technologies and defend innovation in an increasingly mistrustful world, this book is a practical guide to implementing a digital trust-based technology governance program. Technology Governance helps leaders by providing a plan to build and deploy technology better, faster, and more responsibly. It covers the actions organizations can take to build digital trust into the tech that they procure or develop so that it considers all stakeholders' interests and upholds societal expectations and values. It includes coverage of how organizations can navigate the geopolitical and regulatory challenges associated with transformational technologies and includes real-world examples and leadership advice from organizations including Maersk, Google, and Microsoft.

Der Einsatz von Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) bietet durch Unterstützung oder Substitution menschlicher Tätigkeiten und Entscheidungen Effizienz- und Kostenvorteile, wird aber u.a. durch rechtliche Unsicherheit der Geschäftsleitung gehemmt. Die Arbeit mindert diese Unsicherheit, indem sie anhand des Aktienrechts Leitlinien für den unternehmensinternen KI-Einsatz entwickelt. Unter Beachtung besonderer KI-Risiken werden anhand der Dogmatik Kriterien herausgearbeitet, an denen sich der Vorstand orientieren kann. Aktienrechtliche Grundsätze für den KI-Einsatz bei tatsächlichen Aufgaben, Beratung, Entscheidungsvorbereitung oder beim Treffen von Entscheidungen werden konkretisiert. Die Beachtung dieser Anforderungen beugt einer Organhaftung vor.

System Dynamics for Performance Management & Governance

This book presents a System Dynamics based model that rethinks the role of sustainability accounting in business contexts to highlight its role in supporting long-term corporate decision-making. It explores how materiality assessments both shape and are shaped by resource allocation decisions, stakeholder expectations, communication strategies, and financial outcomes, offering an innovative boundary-spanning and systemic perspective. Through a generic and quantitative model, the book captures the feedback-driven nature of materiality and sustainability reporting, overcoming static approaches in favour of dynamic and forward-looking ones. This reveals how misalignment between internal practices and the external role attributed to the report can lead to short-termism, showing the inner causes of greenwashing and stakeholder scepticism.
The book bridges the gap between sustainability reporting theory and practice, supporting firms in integrating materiality into their core strategic processes, while aligning with emerging international standards such as ESRS and IFRS ones. For doing this, the book is grounded in rigorous research methods, yet designed for practical applications for strategy development, performance management, and academic or executive training – for the interest of academics, professionals, students, and, more in general, readers in sustainability accounting and corporate management.
