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.

Productive Transformation in Africa

Studies in Economic History

This book reveals how the formation of the Chinese socialist system in the 1950s dramatically transformed the nation’s economy, and charts how the newly established economic system functioned during the planned economy period (1949-1978), through focusing on Shanghai, which had served as the center of China’s modern economy since the latter half of the nineteenth century. Drawing on the rich historical primary sources of the Shanghai Municipal Archives, this study examines the impact of the institutional change wrought by the introduction of the socialist system on Shanghai’s economy, through a careful comparison with the economic structure before 1949. Moreover, it also explores the distinctive features of the Chinese socialist system, first and foremost the relationship between local governments and local businesses that came about through the socialist transformation of private enterprise, by analyzing Shanghai’s fiscal structure and a series of key industries, including the textile, machinery, rubber processing, cement, and power industries. This historical study proffers a new understanding of the long-term economic history of modern China across the pivotal 1949 and 1978 divides and sheds light on the origin of what has come to be known as "socialism with Chinese characteristics" today.

Contributions to Finance and Accounting

This book presents a novel analytical framework for examining the role of taxation in corporate finance, grounded in the Brusov–Filatova–Orekhova (BFO) theory and its perpetuity limit—the Modigliani–Miller (MM) theory. The authors investigate the influence of taxation on key financial indicators and investment project performance, incorporating the practical realities of corporate operations, such as the timing and frequency of tax payments and income variability.
 The book formulates evidence-based recommendations for regulatory bodies concerning the structure, timing, and differentiation of profit tax payments, particularly in relation to corporate debt levels and other financial characteristics. It also provides strategic guidance for firms in selecting optimal tax payment methodologies.
 Furthermore, the authors explore the implications of tax burden on dividend policy and identify a range of innovative effects with the potential to inform both regulatory tax policy and managerial decision-making. This work contributes to the advancement of financial theory by integrating taxation into dynamic investment and capital structure models under realistic economic conditions.

Workbook for Microeconomics Made Simple

Contributions to Economics

This book offers a new governance framework for understanding how countries with limited institutional capacity can pursue economic catch-up in the digital age. This book introduces the concept of the Developmental Network State (DNS) to explain how learning, coordination, and embeddedness enable capability development under conditions of constraint. Focusing on transitional economies in Southeast Europe, it examines how fragmented institutions, donor dependence, and political volatility shape technological upgrading and industrial transformation.
Drawing on extensive fieldwork, stakeholder interviews, and comparative analysis, the book explores digital entrepreneurship, agri-food upgrading, and integration into automotive supply chains in low-capacity environments. It highlights themes such as governance as a meta-capability, industrial policy under digital disruption, and the role of diasporas and donors in shaping development trajectories. This interdisciplinary study will appeal to researchers, graduate students, policy advisors, and development practitioners interested in industrial policy, innovation systems, and governance reform in latecomer economies.

Proceeding of the 11th International Conference on Industrial Economics System and Industrial Security Engineering

IEIS 2024

This book is a critical examination of the legal and regulatory frameworks that govern modern sport, questioning whether the ideals of fairness and a 'level playing field' extend beyond the pitch into the boardrooms where decisions are made.
Focusing on the self-regulation model prevalent in the UK and its global influence, Jonathan G. Merritt explores the intersection of sport and law through detailed analysis of statutes, case law, and legal principles. The book interrogates whether contemporary sports governance serves the interests of its primary stakeholders-players, athletes, and spectators-or those of a powerful ruling elite. By drawing on themes from politics, sociology, and religion, it exposes the deeper power dynamics at play and challenges the assumption that law in sport consistently upholds justice and equality. This is an essential resource for scholars of sports law, governance, and socio-legal studies.

Landmark Cases

Part of the iconic Landmark Cases series, this book brings the most significant cases in charity law together for the first time. More than four hundred years have passed since the concept of charity was first given statutory legal form in England in the Statute of Charitable Uses of 1601. This book explores the substantial body of judge-made rules and principles developed since then, highlighting a carefully curated selection of the landmark cases which have shaped charity law. Each chapter analyses one or more judicial decisions, setting them in their historical context, explaining their contemporary importance, and considering their future relevance. The selected cases cover a broad range of topics. Some go to the heart of what it means to be a charity, elucidating charity's legal definition and public benefit requirement. Others demonstrate how charity law has been shaped by its interaction with other bodies of law, including trust law, company law and equality law, and by emerging tensions between trustees' overriding duty to further the charity's purposes and broader moral obligations or ethical considerations. The book has a core focus on English precedents, but the cases are touchstones in many jurisdictions. Our contributors therefore include scholars, judges and practitioners from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore, as well as from the UK. The result is a book that sheds new light on the application and development of charity law's defining rules and principles across the common law world.
