Macpherson L: Lead with HEART

Lead with HEART

Concealed behind digital platforms, a vast, dispersed, and largely invisible workforce quietly generates and annotates the data that powers today's AI boom. In Platform Extractivism, information scientist Julián Posada argues that these platforms are engines of extraction rooted in the enduring social inequalities and transnational power disparities of coloniality. Posada reveals that technology, especially today's so-called AI, is not artificial, autonomous, or intelligent; it inherently relies on and extracts from humanity. Drawing on mixed-methods research on three platforms in the Venezuelan data work sector, Posada exposes the human cost of this technology, revealing how digital platforms have capitalized on economic instability, targeting vulnerable populations to extract value from their precarious labor. A critical intervention in the debate on the future of work, this book provides profound insight into the implications of artificial intelligence and moves beyond the context of advanced economies to focus on the labor involved in its production. Platform Extractivism questions whether AI is a tool for freedom or an engine driving the widening the gap between the unseen workers who teach machines and the corporations that profit from them.

Data Work and the People Powering Artificial Intelligence

Platform Extractivism

This book examines what responsibility looks like after failure has already occurred and damage cannot be undone. It explores how engineers, operators, and leaders inherit broken systems they did not design, must run them in degraded states, and make decisions where every option causes harm. Rather than focusing on prevention or optimism, the book addresses moral injury, accountability without justice, and the quiet labor of keeping systems running when stopping them is not possible. It is about living with irreversible consequences and continuing to act with integrity when repair is no longer available.

Responsibility After Failure, Damage, and Irreversible Harm

The System Still Runs

Veröffentlichungen des Diakoniewissenschatlichen Instituts an der Universität Heidelberg (VDWI)

Mit dem Diakonischen Corporate Governance Kodex hat der Diskurs um die Unternehmensverfassung in der Diakonie zweifelsohne eine qualitativ neue Ebene erreicht. Warum aber stellt sich Corporate Governance überhaupt als Problem auch für diakonische Organisationen dar - und worin besteht es? Wie lässt sich die Notwendigkeit von Corporate Governance ökonomisch und organisationstheoretisch begründen? Woher leiten wir unser Wissen über die in solchen "Standards guter Unternehmensführung" unterstellten Zusammenhänge ab? Und was ist darauf für die Corporate Governance diakonischer Unternehmen abzuleiten? 
 

 Die theoretische Verortung des Diskurses um die Corporate Governance und deren Kodifikation macht Grundfragen der Verfassung diakonischer Unternehmen fruchtbar für deren praktische Gestaltung. 

 

 [Corporate Governance in Diaconia between Efficiency and Legitimacy] 
 

 With the Diaconal Corporate Governance Code, the discourse on corporate governance in diaconal organizations has undoubtedly reached a qualitatively new level. But why does corporate governance pose a problem for diaconal organizations in the first place - and what does it consist of? How can the necessity of corporate governance be justified from an economic and organizational theory perspective? Where do we derive our knowledge of the relationships assumed in such 'standards of good corporate governance'? And what can be derived from this for the corporate governance of diaconal organizations? 
 

 The theoretical positioning of the discourse on corporate governance and its codification makes fundamental questions about the constitution of diaconal organizations fruitful for their practical design.

Chapter 1. Expertise in fund management (Fredrik Nilsson).- Chapter 2. Performance and fund managers’ expertise (Martin Abrahamson).- Chapter 3. Searching for expert fund managers (Martin Abrahamson).- Chapter 4. Judgments and decisions by expert fund managers (Martin Abrahamson).- Chapter 5. Individual foresight and fund management expertise (Melissa Innes).- Chapter 6. Artificial intelligence in discretionary fund management (Haojun Hu).- Chapter 7. Integrating ESG information in active fund management (Katarzyna Cieslak).- Chapter 8. Analysing fund managers’ accountability (Frank Hartmann).- Chapter 9. Does expertise matter? Concluding reflections (Fredrik Nilsson).

This book offers novel insights into how expert fund managers—those who demonstrate superior performance over the long term—make their judgments and decisions. It is often claimed that actively managed funds create value for investors by making more informed decisions. The general idea is that experts make judgments and decisions that will outperform passively managed funds, i.e., the market. Although such claims seem reasonable, many actively managed funds do not consistently beat the market. Additionally, it is argued that the fees charged by actively managed funds are too high relative to the value they provide. However, some assert that certain fund managers do outperform the market in the long term. Regardless of the position one takes, there is a clear need to critically examine and discuss the concept of fund management expertise.The book also explores how recent and significant societal developments, such as sustainability, artificial intelligence, and multiple accountabilities, are shaping the nature of expertise today and how it might evolve in the future. The book draws on both earlier research on expertise and recent publications related to business and accounting, as well as insights from new empirical studies. It appeals to both scholars and professionals in finance wanting to learn about capital markets and fund management.

Exploring Fund Management Expertise

This book explores the rights of individuals subjected to digital surveillance and monitoring through a range of legal and theoretical perspectives. As digitisation transforms how states, private entities, and individuals use surveillance-across criminal justice systems, workplaces, and in our personal lives-it enables increasingly pervasive forms of monitoring and blurs the boundaries between public and private spaces. This shift raises complex questions about privacy, discrimination, and accountability. While these issues have often been examined in isolated contexts, Digitally Monitored takes a broader view, establishing digital monitoring as a distinct field of enquiry. Together, the chapters address a set of overarching themes that emerge when digital monitoring is viewed more holistically. These include the justifications for monitoring (such as public safety and employee productivity) versus the protection of individual rights, potential infringements on individual liberty, evolving notions of privacy, heightened risks to vulnerable groups posed by biased technologies, and the role of Big Tech in the collection and use of data. The chapters offer a range of perspectives on digital monitoring from various legal angles, including public, private, and international law. By establishing digital monitoring as a distinct area of study, the book deepens our understanding of the values embedded in monitoring practices and advances the articulation and protection of the rights of those under surveillance.

Freedom, Surveillance, and the Law

Digitally Monitored

Our lives are imbued with rules and regulations, some of which are vital and sensible, but others are simply stupid. Time-wasting processes of compliance don't improve anyone's lives or wellbeing and burden companies and organizations with productivity-sapping paperwork. In these instances, we would be better off resorting to the exercise of authority. It is a concept that we are now afraid of, but authority in the right place is a more efficient and transparent option for getting things done. Natasha Hamilton-Hart navigates the rules-maze that has proliferated in response to crisis and failure in recent decades, challenging us to consider just how ineffective stupid rules are in holding power to account, to improving service delivery, and even in managing the office dress code. A must-read for anyone frustrated by the bureaucratic overload regulations create and for those needing to rethink their approach to management.

Reducing Red Tape and Making Organizations More Effective and Accountable

Stupid Rules

This book offers a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to understanding and preventing police misconduct in the twenty-first century. Drawing on empirical research across multiple jurisdictions, it explores how our understanding of police misconduct has evolved over time, tracing the changing view of how misconduct emerges, evolves, and persists within law enforcement organisations. Through detailed analyses of stress, typologies, disciplinary systems, prediction and early intervention, it demonstrates how misconduct can, at times, be identified and either managed or disrupted before escalating into crisis. Integrating perspectives on more advanced analytical methods, including machine learning, network analytics, life-course and longitudinal approaches, this book bridges theory, data, and practice to consider structural and behavioural roots of deviance among police. Rather than treating misconduct solely as an individual failing, it presents misconduct as a systemic challenge that demands holistic, data-driven reform. Combining an understanding of historical research with applied modern insights, it is important reading for policing professionals and researchers seeking to understand and build transparent and ethically resilient interventions for police misconduct.

Reparation for Climate Change: The Successes and Limits of Litigation

Taking Japan as a heuristic example, this book explores the significance of neatly kept and classified records and archives to maintain a democratic society. Japan adopted constitutional monarchy as a state system in the nineteenth century and then amended it to become a democracy in the twentieth century. How the evaluation of public and governmental records has and has not changed for almost a century is an indication of the maturity of democracy in Japan. How and to what extent the records of the government are disclosed to and shared with the public are among the fundamental criteria to assess the quality and maturity of democracy in a society. From this point of view, the book examines the current status of records and archives management in several spheres of Japanese society, with some international comparative studies as well. On the one hand, Japan is a society that has attached great importance to written documents, which is evident when one sees how carefully ordinary people kept diverse kinds of documents even in the pre-modern period. On the other hand, the public at large has long been indifferent to the records and archives that serve as fundamental infrastructure to keep the governance of society transparent and accountable. By examining those contradictory aspects of the attitudes toward records and archives in Japanese society, this book provides the key elements of management of critical information for a democratic society.
