Lubben S: To Protect Their Interests

To Protect Their Interests

The Invention and Exploitation of Corporate Bankruptcy

"The Business of Better Health: A Guide to Strategic Portfolio Management" provides healthcare leaders with a practical and comprehensive framework for optimizing their organization's investments and initiatives through effective portfolio management.In today's complex and resource-constrained healthcare environment, organizations must make strategic choices about where to allocate resources to achieve the greatest impact on patient outcomes, operational efficiency, and financial sustainability. This book recognizes that healthcare delivery is a multifaceted business, requiring a disciplined approach to prioritizing projects, managing risks, and aligning investments with the overarching mission of improving health. "The Business of Better Health" is unique in its specific focus on the healthcare industry and its emphasis on the strategic application of portfolio management principles. Unlike general project or portfolio management texts, this book addresses the unique challenges and opportunities of the healthcare landscape, including the shift to value-based care, the rise of consumerism, and rapid technological advancements. It goes beyond theory, offering real-world examples, case studies, and practical tools that readers can immediately apply to their own organizations. This book will also discuss how strategic portfolio management can help organizations achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.By demonstrating how to connect strategy, execution, and value realization, "The Business of Better Health" empowers healthcare leaders to make informed decisions, drive organizational transformation, and ultimately deliver better health outcomes for the populations they serve.

Routledge Studies in Trust Research

Corporate Self-Financing and Market Trust examines whether and under what conditions internally generated financial resources strengthen investor trust in listed food and beverage companies. Combining corporate finance theory with comparative evidence from the United States, developed European markets, and emerging European markets, the book develops a trust-centered model of internal financing. It distinguishes internal financing capacity from self-financing and shows that retained earnings, operating cash flow, liquidity, leverage, governance, ESG disclosure, and capital allocation discipline do not influence market trust independently. Their effects depend on institutional context and the credibility with which financial decisions are communicated.Drawing on company-level data for 2019-2024, the book integrates financial ratio analysis, non-parametric tests, panel regressions, moderation analysis, structural equation modeling, and comparative case studies. It also introduces a multidimensional Investor Trust Proxy based on observable market measures. The book will be valuable to researchers and advanced students in corporate finance, accounting, agribusiness, and sustainability, as well as managers, investors, and policymakers seeking to understand how financing decisions become credible market signals.

Lawton Robert Burns is the James Joo-Jin Kim Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a professor in the Departments of Management and Health Care Management at the Wharton School.

Healthcare systems in the United States have engaged in multiple strategies of diversification over the past four decades. These strategies include horizontal integration, vertical integration, market diversification, unrelated business diversification, and financial risk contracts. Most of these strategies have not worked well. A growing number of these systems have already gone bankrupt, while others are teetering on bankruptcy. This volume depicts the strategies undertaken, the difficulties encountered, and the ensuing financial tragedy at three prominent systems: Allegheny Health Education and Research Foundation (AHERF), Jefferson Health System, and Steward Health Care. It also develops a grounded theory of how and why such bankruptcies occur.

The grounded theory identifies the main drivers of bankruptcy. These include forces at work in the executive suite, such as self-interest, self-preservation, and mimicry of other firms. Executives are also encouraged by investment bankers to enter into diversification strategies that involve acquisitions of other companies and grow the footprint of their organizations. In sum, executives are driven by personal ambitions and aspirations for their firms. Another set of drivers include lack of oversight exercised by the firm's board of directors, the speed with which diversification is undertaken, the lack of due diligence in reviewing other firms that are acquired, the failure to learn the historical lessons of other companies that have undertaken diversification, the failure to undertake strategies that are rooted in empirical evidence, the inability of diversifying firms to manage the complexity of the diverse operations they undertake and the diverse markets into which they diversify, the choice of the wrong markets to diversity into and the timing of these choices, and the failure to consider whether such strategies can succeed in an industry as complex as healthcare.

If that were not enough, other forces can doom diversification efforts. These include the lack of sufficient capital to sustain diversification, the resulting reliance on debt capital which often swamps firms, and the many mistaken beliefs and assumptions held by executives. Finally, environmental changes and unforeseen events severely challenge corporate strategy. Such changes often plague efforts to undertake risk contracting. None of these changes or events are considered in strategic planning.

Conglomerates, Complexity and Catastrophe in Healthcare

The case for nuclear energy as the foundation of the AI revolution - and our future In The Smiling Atom: How We Learned to Love Nuclear Energy, and Why You Should, Too, physicist-entrepreneur Stefano Buono and journalist Peter Vanham argue that the AI-driven "fourth industrial revolution" depends on a nuclear energy renaissance. Combining science, history, business strategy, and personal narrative, their dual perspective reframes nuclear technology as a future-facing solution for clean energy, medical innovation, and broad-based prosperity. The Smiling Atom weaves two distinct threads: Buono's scientific journey from a decade of research at CERN with Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia to founding pharmaceutical startup Advanced Accelerator Applications, sold to Novartis for $3.9 billion, and now leading next-generation reactor company newcleo; alongside Vanham's evolution from a nuclear-skeptic to informed believer. Together they deliver technical authority and narrative credibility. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>How nuclear energy can be a solution to the massive and growing power demands of artificial intelligence infrastructure - without driving up prices for everyone else</li> <li>The science of nuclear waste transmutation and next-generation reactor designs that address longstanding safety and environmental concerns</li> <li>Buono's path from CERN physicist to founding a pharmaceutical startup sold to Novartis for $3.9 billion</li> <li>How well-known anti-nuclear movements in Europe and North America shaped public opinion and why that consensus is now shifting across society - and especially Gen Z</li> <li>The role nuclear medicine plays in healthcare innovation and why energy and medical applications share common scientific foundations</li> </ul> Written for business, finance, policy, climate, and technology audiences in Europe and the United States, The Smiling Atom offers a persuasive, evidence-based argument for readers seeking to understand why nuclear energy has reemerged as central to economic growth, clean power, and technological progress.

Polycentricity: Studies in Institutional Diversity and Voluntary Governance

Co-production, Institutions, and Governance explores the theory, practice, and transformative potential of co-production across institutional, organizational, and professional contexts. Co-production, broadly understood as the collaborative process whereby citizens, communities, and, in some cases, a variety of public actors jointly design, deliver, and modify goods and services, challenges traditional top-down approaches in both public and private domains. Drawing on diverse social science disciplines, the contributors examine how co-production fosters adaptive, efficient, responsive, and inclusive governance structures. The collection emphasizes both theoretical and applied perspectives, highlighting the ways co-production can enhance private and public value, social learning, and participatory decision-making. Technological, organizational, and institutional shifts over the past decades have increasingly blurred the distinction between producers and users, creating fertile ground for co-production. The case studies and empirical research included in the volume testify the versatility of co-production, from local governance initiatives to large-scale policy interventions, demonstrating its potential to address a variety of complex socio-economic challenges. Additionally, the volume critically examines power dynamics, institutional barriers, and opportunities that lead to co-production, offering practical guidance for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. By integrating interdisciplinary insights with tangible, applied-level experiences, this volume provides a comprehensive account of co-production as both a conceptual framework and a practical tool for fostering collaborative, inclusive, and sustainable governance. It serves as a reference point for all those seeking to understand, implement, and evaluate co-production in diverse socio-economic settings.

Crowdfinanzierung im Mittelstand

This book analyses recent developments in English corporate restructuring law from a range of comparative and theoretical perspectives, exploring some of the most difficult aspects of the design of domestic restructuring laws and their application in cross-border cases. Recent reforms to English law took place against the backdrop of corporate restructuring law reform initiatives in Europe and in many other regions of the world. These reforms reflect an emerging consensus as to the importance of such laws, both as a complement to macroeconomic stabilisation tools in times of extraordinary crisis, and as a determinant of investment conditions in more ordinary times. But it is one thing to recognise the importance of such laws in the abstract, and quite another to work out precisely how corporate restructuring rules should be designed. This book explores some of the most complex aspects of designing such rules. It does so through the close analysis of the changes made by the enactment of the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (UK), and the interpretation of the new statutory provisions by the courts. Authors also draw on examples from other jurisdictions to analyse choices made in the UK, and in some cases offer separate evaluation of restructuring law reform processes outside the UK, including in select jurisdictions in the EU and in Africa, and in the US. By drawing on experiences in other jurisdictions, the book casts new light on recent developments in English law, suggesting many avenues for further research and a range of implications for policymakers. An introductory chapter by the editors introducing the landmark 2020 reforms provides a detailed synopsis of each chapter of the book, drawing out connections between them, and articulates some themes that run through the chapters that are salient for policymakers.

'I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter into one of the most creative periods of my life.' Steve JobsSteve Jobs in Exile tells the largely unexplored story of the dozen years Steve Jobs spent building NeXt in the aftermath of his firing from Apple, the company he founded, in 1985. This period would see Jobs at his most creative, vulnerable and intense. It would redefine him as a designer and a leader, ultimately leading to the later resurgence and dominance of Apple following his triumphant return. Yet this crucial period remains woefully under-covered. Award-winning writer Geoffrey Cain changes that.Utilising a trove of new material, including dozens of hours of unbroadcast footage of Jobs at NeXT's meetings and retreats, new interviews and unpublished oral histories with Jobs and his colleagues, new first-hand material and countless internal documents, Steve Jobs in Exile is the definitive history of the most remarkable period in the life of Steve Jobs.
