Gouvernance et Performance des PME Familiales Congolaises

Effets et Limites des Mécanismes Formels et Informels

We all consistently underestimate the structural influence of large corporations, even as tax scandals, market prices and monopolistic practices continue to dominate headlines. Why is it that corporate giants keep escaping our scrutiny despite their monumental impact? Corporate Escape tackles this enduring puzzle by offering a comprehensive and multidisciplinary intellectual history of corporate power and its sources. Tracing the rise and fall of key concepts such as administered prices and corporate planning, it reveals how critical insights can slip through the cracks and how these blind spots dictate today's policy failures. Grounded in meticulous archival research and exclusive interviews with thought leaders such as Joseph Nye, Robert Keohane and Louis Wells, this book addresses the intellectual conversations that have defined corporate theory since its conception. Spanning economics, law, international relations and sociology, Corporate Escape takes these debates a step further and brings them to the global stage, examining the symbiotic relationship between corporate power and global governance. It argues that failures in public policy are frequently not accidental, but rather are linked to institutional incentives, funding structures, and ideological currents. Proposing a historically informed framework for analysing contemporary corporate power, Corporate Escape is an insightful companion for students, scholars and policymakers across economics, law, political science and business studies. It will equip you with the tools to rethink corporate governance and escape the cycle of forgetting that has plagued both academic and policy debates.

Corporate Escape

Aufsichtsratsmitglieder stehen heute vor steigender Komplexität, wachsendem regulatorischem Druck und tiefgreifenden digitalen Veränderungen. Während Corporate Governance, Compliance und Risikomanagement intensiv diskutiert werden, bleibt ein wesentlicher Erfolgsfaktor oft im Hintergrund: die interne Kommunikation innerhalb des Aufsichtsrats.
Dieses Buch untersucht auf Basis qualitativer Expert:inneninterviews mit österreichischen Aufsichtsratsmitgliedern, wie Kommunikation in Aufsichtsräten tatsächlich gelebt wird, welche Rolle Unternehmenskultur, Vertrauen und Transparenz spielen und wie digitale Entwicklungen die Zusammenarbeit verändern. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass wirksame Governance weit über formale Richtlinien hinausgeht. Entscheidend sind offene Diskussionen, verständliche Informationsweitergabe, psychologische Sicherheit und die Fähigkeit, unterschiedliche Perspektiven konstruktiv einzubinden.
Die Publikation verbindet erstmalig wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse mit praxisnahen Einblicken und richtet sich an Aufsichtsratsmitglieder, Vorstände, Geschäftsführer:innen sowie Governance- und Kommunikationsexpert:innen.

A Perspective from the Global South

Resilience and Sustainable Economic Transformation

Contemporary Studies in Corporate Law

Many attempts have been made to reduce the harms caused by business and to make companies become socially responsible. This book approaches the subject from a new perspective arguing that reflexive law offers the best means to align the interests of large companies with those of society and that recent developments in European company law fit a reflexive model. A reflexive company law, rather than trying to directly regulate companies, aims to affect internal decision-making processes to make companies responsive to outside interests and prevent them from operating as closed systems singularly focused on shareholder value. In this vein, the EU has recently imposed new obligations on companies to develop corporate sustainability reporting and due diligence processes as part of its objective to create a climate-neutral and sustainable economy. This book presents an argument for how the 'societal company' - a company that has an internal culture of transnational responsibility to do no harm but that retains the autonomy necessary to be economically productive - can be established through reflexive law. The book will appeal to researchers, policy makers and lawyers interested in corporate sustainability, regulatory theory, company law and EU law.

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 - Online resources including lecturer slides and a lecturer's manual 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

Kickbacks and payoffs, greasing someone's palm and 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

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.

Interventions: Rethinking the Nineteenth Century

Speculative endeavors describes the connections between speculation and minoritarian subjects and practices during the rise of capitalism in the US. Drawing on diverse historical perspectives, the volume challenges conventional historiographic narratives by spotlighting historic agents traditionally excluded from discussions of knowledge and capitalism. Through a series of meticulously researched essays on pedagogical practices, domestic manners, public court cases, and behind-the-scenes publishing habits, the book delves into the quotidian forms of knowledge on the fringes of nineteenth-century society. Each original contribution sheds light on how seemingly inconsequential narratives are part of the fabric of the period's burgeoning market economy and financial capitalism. Speculative endeavors is a call to reconceptualize our understanding of the past. Through its rigorous analyses of epistemic and economic practices and compelling narratives of marginalized agents, this groundbreaking collection invites readers to reconsider the intersections of power, privilege, and precarity in the turbulent times between the early republic and the Gilded Age.

Cultural Economics & the Creative Economy

This edited volume presents an innovative approach to the relationship between cultural heritage and sustainable development, focusing on geographic factors and spatial economic analysis. Focusing on Italian case studies, the book unpacks various opportunities and challenges and explores how promoting and defending cultural heritage at the regional and national levels can in turn foster sustainable development.Chapters consider both tangible and intangible aspects of the cultural supply, such as museums and festivals, and investigate specific issues relevant to sustainability, from the role of networks on museums’ performance in remote areas to the effects of climate change on heritage sites. The book also pays special attention to the role of tourism, the various factors that impact tourist numbers, as well as how negative impacts can be mitigated. Several chapters focus on social capital and the importance of civic engagement and belonging in encouraging sustainable economic growth. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in a range of fields, including cultural economics, regional economics, economic geography, heritage studies and those working on sustainability more broadly.Silvia Cerisola
