Corporate Governance and Accountability in Public Enterprises

An Evaluation of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL)

What Every Leader Needs to Know about Cybersecurity

The Wires That Lied

Corporate Escape

Today's boards need to create value--not just protect it.Boards have long carried the essential work of overseeing performance, managing risk, fulfilling their fiduciary responsibilities, and ensuring that organizations remain on track. In a world of growing complexity and uncertainty, that foundation matters more than ever--but it is no longer enough.In Value-Creating Boards, Jill Ader and Pamela Warren, senior leaders at Egon Zehnder, argue that the most important governance work is understanding who directors must become, individually and collectively, to create value that endures. Rather than viewing the board simply as a governance mechanism, they show how it can become a powerful source of perspective, imagination, judgment, and collective intelligence to meet an organization's most consequential challenges.Achieving this requires boards to develop the human capabilities of the people around the table--and to recognize the board is a constellation of relationships, dynamics, and interdependencies. Drawing on decades of experience and work with thousands of board chairs, directors, and CEOs, Ader and Warren show how leaders can unlock energy and create healthy patterns in this system.Value-Creating Boards presents a practical four-part framework that enables boards to operate at a greater strategic altitude, create space for deeper thinking, challenge their own assumptions, and bring more of themselves and their collective wisdom to the work.The four practices--Catalyze, Align, Integrate, and Exchange--equip boards and their members with the tools to strengthen their roles; to connect purpose, vision, strategy, and values; and to improve the quality of dialogue between directors, chairs, CEOs, and management.Filled with candid stories from some of the world's most experienced board leaders, practical exercises, and ideas tested in real boardrooms, Value-Creating Boards will help boards move from asking Are we managing risk well? to something much more powerful: What becomes possible because this board is here?

ONE GIFT, ENDLESS IMPACT: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO MANAGING FUNDS IN CHARITY

Saarbrücker Poetikdozentur für Dramatik

Eine der stilprägendsten und einflussreichsten Regisseur:innen und Dramatiker:innen der Gegenwart

In I AM (a strange loop) legt Susanne Kennedy die zentralen Fragen und Konzepte ihres Theaters offen. Im Dialog mit Antonin Artaud, Friedrich Nietzsche, Arthur Schopenhauer und David Lynch, rückgreifend auf Filme, Schriften der Alchemisten, die Upanishaden, den Dionysos-Mythos, Parsifal oder Douglas R. Hofstadter konturiert sie ein Theater, das nicht Abbildung der Wirklichkeit sein will, sondern ein Aufbruch zu den existentiellen Fragen des Lebens.

Theater ist für Susanne Kennedy ein notwendig schmerzhafter Prozess der Reise nach innen, eine Konfrontation mit dem ewigen Kreislauf von Geburt und Tod, Komposition und Dekomposition. In I AM (a strange loop) wird ein Entwurf des Theaters deutlich, der an Artauds grausames und totales Theater anschließt, Theater aber zugleich als 'Form von heiliger Mathematik' begreift. Kennedy erläutert, wie ihr Theater dezidiert in der digitalisierten Welt der Gegenwart die Urfragen nach dem Ort des Menschen im Kreislauf ewiger Wiederkehr, nach Heilung und Erlösung, nach Katharsis neu stellt. Es soll 'uns dahin führen, wo wir freiwillig nicht hingehen, und die Schauspieler:innen sind unsere Führer, Schamanen, Wegbegleiter. Ihre Körper zeigen uns, was uns selbst bevorsteht.'

Ausgangspunkt des vorliegenden Bands sind drei öffentliche Vorträge, die die Theatermacherin im Rahmen der 11. Saarbrücker Poetikdozentur für Dramatik im Sommer 2024 gehalten hat.

'Das Theater ist wie eine Maschine, die erbarmungslos Bilder erzeugt, die zucken, die keuchen, die wie Alpträume hinter unserem Auge stürmen.' Susanne Kennedy

Research Series on Responsible Enterprise Ecosystems

Innovating for the Public Good Through Sustainable Governance and the SDGs

Sustainability in Public Entrepreneurship

This practical guide shows you how to build an effective compliance and ethics program that will lower a business's risks and improve productivity. Today's research is clear: companies that prioritize ethics and compliance don't just avoid risk-they gain a measurable edge in productivity and performance. This practical, updated guide shows business leaders, compliance officers, legal professionals, and students exactly how to achieve that advantage in today's complex regulatory landscape. Unlike broad overviews that stop at theory, this new edition delivers a step-by-step roadmap for building stronger, smarter compliance programs. The first half of the book equips readers with proven strategies to design or enhance internal compliance and ethics frameworks. The second half dives into high-risk regulatory areas-antitrust, international business, labor and wage laws, HIPAA and health care, environmental regulations, and more-offering clear explanations of the laws and actionable best practices to stay ahead of costly missteps. Whether you need to strengthen an existing program or build one from the ground up, this guide provides the essential tools to mitigate risk, meet regulatory demands, and unlock the productivity gains that come from doing business the right way.

A Practical Guide for Executives, Lawyers, and Compliance Professionals

Compliance Management

A blueprint for an economy that delivers true shared prosperity and inclusive growth. How can we address economic inequality? Most proposed solutions ask the rich to pay higher taxes to benefit the poor. But the rich have the political power to control whether redistribution happens and are unlikely to tolerate such arrangements. Therefore, Francesco Caselli argues, what's needed is a system that generates wealth equitably at the source: an economy that retains free markets but replaces traditional corporations with worker-managed cooperatives, where every employee has an equal say in company governance. Cooperatives in the Twenty-First Century shows that properly designed worker co-ops can match the productivity of conventional firms while sharing the resulting prosperity more evenly. Hardly a radical, Caselli mobilizes decades of orthodox economics research to distill the principles required for cooperatives to succeed: He explains how to implement worker democracy, structure management, address worker discipline, and protect the rights of those who leave the co-op, among other matters. If a co-op follows these principles, it will be "incentive-compatible"-that is, each member will work hard because it will be in their interest to do so. Crucially, this co-op system does not assume worker altruism. A well-designed cooperative will succeed even if every worker is a purely selfish homo economicus. Effective worker co-ops are not the stuff of utopian fantasy: Spain's Mondragon federation, for example, has been around for seventy years and employs over 70,000 workers. But co-ops are still rarer than they should be. Caselli's meticulous, accessible recommendations offer a vision of a more equitable economic future and detail how we can get from here to there.

How Worker-Managed Companies Can Curb Inequality and Support Free Markets

Cooperatives in the Twenty-First Century

Kickbacks and payoffs, greasing someone's palm or paying them under the table: We have a rich vocabulary for bribery. The French refer to bribes as "wine jugs"; in South Asia, a corrupt transaction might be passed off as "money for tea and refreshments." Why is bribery so universal, and in what ways does it typically occur? How has it persisted despite countless pledges that authorities are tackling the problem? This book offers an eye-opening exploration of bribery in practice, taking us inside the sordid world of grubby transactions and tainted institutions. Drawing on an extensive career of skirmishing with fraud, David J. O'Regan examines the all-too-human reasons that people offer and accept bribes. Gripping case studies allow readers to peer into the backrooms where bribery takes place, peek behind the closed doors that conceal corruption from the public, and join auditors as they uncover underhand transactions. O'Regan contends that bribery is particularly socially damaging because of its uncanny relationship to gift exchange. It undermines collective solidarity, misallocates economic resources, and diminishes social trust. He also argues that many anticorruption efforts provide merely the trappings of compliance--a thin veneer of empty assurance that something is being done. Shining a light into the shadows where corruption thrives, Bribery Humanized proposes realistic steps to curb an ineradicable scourge.

A Guide to Understanding and Countering Corruption

Bribery Humanized

“Mark has spent decades in the trenches of accounting and corporate governance. This book shares real, hard-won experience from large enterprises, working at scale, not on theory. He highlights a crucial need: keeping the finance function aligned with the actual shape of the business. Especially in the AI age, this is a rare, must-have guide for anyone reading (or preparing) management packs or sitting on a board.”
 — John Turner,
 CEO, XBRL International
 
 Financial reality is constructed, not discovered. What executives see in dashboards and board reports is not a neutral reflection of events, the outcome of a financial architecture that has evolved and accumulated over time.&nbsp;Consolidation logic, data models, validation rules, systems, escalation mechanisms, and reporting routines together form what the author calls the 'Translation Layer' that stands between raw economic activity and managerial visibility.
 
 The book develops a practical framework for understanding how financial architecture influences management information, capital allocation, risk visibility, governance, and decision making. Each chapter dissects a structural component of this architecture, demonstrating how design choices determine what becomes visible, comparable, and actionable at group level. It examines how reporting systems can produce technically correct numbers while obscuring strategic drift, weakening operational visibility, and masking emerging problems in cash flow, working capital, project performance, and organizational resilience. It also considers the implications of digital finance, ERP systems, XBRL, analytics, and AI for financial reporting and control.
 
 Bringing together financial management, corporate reporting, management control, and digital transformation, this book will be valuable to scholars and advanced practitioners in accounting, finance, governance, and business administration, as well as CFOs, controllers, board members, and executive education audiences seeking a deeper understanding of how financial representation shapes corporate judgment.
