Theorien der Corporate Governance am Beispiel der Dieselgate-Affäre

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.

Next Generation Water Governance

The definitive account of the harms that have come from deregulating venture capital financing and allowing startups to become gigantic while remaining private. The term "unicorn" for a private startup company worth $1 billion or more was coined to emphasize the rarity of such ventures. But today there are more than 1,500 of them, with a combined valuation of over $4 trillion. By remaining private, these corporate behemoths shield themselves from disclosure requirements, investor oversight, and market discipline-mechanisms designed to protect investors and the public from corporate wrongdoing. It's no coincidence that in recent years, a number of prominent startups have been the sites of founder misconduct and fraud. This wave of startup scandals exposes significant problems with the venture capital financing model and the deregulation that helped fuel the industry's explosive growth. Untamed Unicorns connects the most dramatic startup scandals, including FTX, Theranos, WeWork, and Uber, to structural flaws in the startup financing model. Detailing the deregulatory reforms implemented by Congress and the Securities and Exchange Commission over the past 40 years, it shows how these have eroded core safeguards of securities law that were first established during the New Deal era. As Renée Jones makes clear, allowing unicorn companies to run wild doesn't threaten only the sophisticated venture capitalists who finance Silicon Valley. When the largest startups go awry, the consequences are often severe for ordinary investors, employees, and the public at large. Revealing the risks inherent in the current system, Untamed Unicorns presents a roadmap for reform to restore proper boundaries between public and private securities markets.

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.

Evan Osnos nimmt uns mit in die Welt der Superreichen: Sehr lange Yachten, extravagante Partys, katastrophensichere Luxusbunker, Wirtschaftskriminalität jeder Art und immenser politischer Einfluss - so lebt eine privilegierte Schicht, die nicht nur ihre Bodenhaftung verloren, sondern auch jegliches Wertesystem über Bord geworfen hat. 
 
 Für die kleine, verschworene Gemeinschaft rund um die größten Yachten der Welt hat die Messe in Palm Beach die vielversprechende Aura eines Trainingslagers nach der Winterpause. Zu Beginn der Sommersaison bietet sie Maklern, Bootsbauern und Eignern die Gelegenheit, sich einen Eindruck von den neuesten Produkten zu verschaffen und Informationen zu sammeln: Wer steigt ein? Wer steigt aus? Und am dringlichsten: Wer hat ein Auge auf ein größeres Boot geworfen? An den Docks sortieren Makler die Menschenmenge nach ihrem Potenzial. Ein CEO aus dem Silicon Valley sagte mir, der Reiz von Booten liege unter anderem darin, dass sie "den größten Teil des überschüssigen Kapitals absorbieren können". Aber diese Schreine überflüssigen Kapitals existieren in einem Zustand bedingter Sichtbarkeit: Für eine schmale Schicht der Gesellschaft sollen sie unverkennbar sein - und für alle anderen so gut wie unsichtbar.
 
 "Die Yachten erzählen eine Geschichte über einen faustischen Kapitalismus - über diese Vorstellung, dass wir bereit sind, Demokratie für kurzfristigen Profit zu verkaufen." Alex Finley, ehem. CIA-Beamtin.

Unternehmen stehen vor Herausforderungen wie stagnierendem Wachstum, fehlender Innovationskraft und einer schleichenden Erosion ihrer Unternehmenskultur, während Skandale im Bereich Compliance oder unethisches Verhalten sowohl die Reputation als auch den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg gefährden. Gleichzeitig nehmen die Anforderungen an Umwelt-, Sozial- und Governance-Standards sowie an rechtliche Sorgfaltspflichten entlang der Lieferkette stetig zu.
Gernot Kriegbaum zeigt in diesem praxisorientierten Leitfaden, wie Unternehmen durch gelebte Integrität nachhaltigen Wert schaffen. Fundiert auf Erkenntnissen aus Psychologie, Neurowissenschaft, Philosophie und Organisationsforschung macht das Buch deutlich: Vertrauen, Sinnstiftung und klare Werte fördern Innovation, Leistung und Krisenfestigkeit - und Compliance ohne ethische Urteilsfähigkeit greift zu kurz.
Von Tone-from-the-Top über Kulturdiagnose, Fehlerkultur und Speak-up-Systemen bis hin zu KI-Ethik, ESG und Anti-Korruptionsstrategien liefert das Buch konkrete Instrumente für Vorstände, Führungskräfte, HR und Compliance-Verantwortliche. Fallstudien zu Microsoft, Siemens, Wirecard und anderen machen Risiken und Chancen greifbar.
Das Ergebnis: ein wissenschaftlich fundiertes, zugleich unmittelbar umsetzbares Werk für alle, die nachhaltigen Unternehmenserfolg mit Menschlichkeit und Verlässlichkeit verbinden wollen.

Wirksame Strategien für Führung und Management

Compliance und Ethik als ökonomischer Erfolgsfaktor

Dreihundert deutsche Männer, schrieb Walther Rathenau zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts, bestimmten die wirtschaftlichen Geschicke des Kontinents: gemeint war ein enges Geflecht aus Bankiers, Industriekapitänen und Lobbyisten, das sich mit dem Aufstieg von Firmen wie der Allianz, Krupp oder Siemens herausgebildet hatte. Man kannte einander, sprach miteinander – und sprach sich ab. Bis in die 1990er Jahre prägte dieses Netzwerk namens »Deutschland AG« die Politik und die Unternehmenskultur in der Bundesrepublik. Konstantin Richter montiert die Geschichten dieser Macher und Magnaten zu einer temporeichen szenischen Erzählung, einem Epos über Aufstieg und Niedergang der Deutschland AG von der Gründerzeit bis in die krisengebeutelte Gegenwart.

Dreihundert Männer

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.

Cooperatives in the Twenty-First Century

Perspektiven der Ethik

Amelie Rüppel addresses the question of which religious narratives have shaped church interpretations of the financial crises of 1929 and 2008 and how these have changed across historical periods, text genres, and institutions. Based on an extensive empirical corpus of church sermons and position papers from the EKD (Protestant Church in Germany), EKHN (Protestant Church in Hesse and Nassau), and EKKW (Protestant Church of Kurhessen-Waldeck), and homiletic journals digital text-analytical methods - particularly Structural Topic Modeling - are used to identify key clusters of meaning, or "topics," structuring these discourses. Through qualitative analyses, the author uncovers the underlying narratives and makes them accessible for theological-ethical reflection. Three guiding narratives prove central: the sin narrative, interpreting the homo oeconomicus and his freedom-self-interest tension as an expression of sin; the trust narrative, exploring the relation between trust in God and trust in money as the foundation of institutional trust; and the creation narrative, deriving Protestant concepts of sustainability from human responsibility for creation. Linking these findings to approaches in narrative economics (Robert Shiller) and Protestant economic ethics (Max Weber, Ernst Troeltsch), Amelie Rüppel opens new perspectives on the interrelation of religion, morality, and economy.

Religiöse Narrative der Finanzkrisendeutung

India Studies in Business and Economics

This book introduces the core concepts of Related Party Transactions (RPTs), examines the dominant features of the Indian business environment that make RPTs common, and traces the evolving legal framework for regulating RPTs in the country. It also contextualizes the discussion by drawing on notable RPT scandals and diverse regulatory approaches across the globe, and highlights tensions in the theoretical literature.
 
 Related party transactions stand among the most crucial corporate governance challenges in India, where business groups, family firms, and concentrated ownership dominate. Building on an overview as well as a detailed descriptive analysis of RPTs undertaken by the top 500 listed companies in India (excluding financial, real estate, and utility companies) over 17 years, this book examines the prevalence of RPTs in the country, how this has changed over time, and how the incidence and intensity of RPTs vary across industries, related party types, and transaction types.
 
 Beyond the basics and overview, this book contributes to contemporary RPT literature through original empirical findings on three crucial research questions: (A) What are the drivers of RPTs? Do these drivers suggest efficiency or abuse? Do companies belonging to business groups and families exhibit higher levels of RPTs? Do corporate governance factors and auditors constrain RPTs; (B) &nbsp;How do the RPTs affect the financial performance of firms, and how does the market react to them; (C) Do companies with high levels of RPTs also show higher levels of earnings management (accrual-based and real)?
 
 Finally, this book synthesizes these findings and discusses the implications and future directions for research, practice, and regulation. The book is an essential resource for academicians and research scholars studying corporate governance, business groups, family firms, and earnings management. It is a valuable reference for directors, investors, financial professionals, auditors, regulators, and the public seeking to understand the realities of RPT in India.

This book examines the structure of university knowledge production as publications. Offering an in-depth case study on a medium-size Italian university, it explores networks of collaboration by evidencing the relationship between internal and external authors, their productivity, and the role of team size taking also a longitudinal perspective.
This book investigates also partner’s selection mechanisms in terms of institutional and disciplinary, gender, and academic role proximity. The pathologies of contemporary scientific practice, such as large team size, are discussed within a broad interdisciplinary theoretical landscape. 
The book shows that knowledge is produced locally and transferred globally by constituting a multi-layer Glocal Invisible College, rooted in a model of single universities made by three subsystems loosely connected. 
Researchers, university administrators, and policymakers alike will find this work invaluable. For researchers, it provides a replicable methodology that combines network and statistical analysis, while for university governance and policymakers the insights gained from this analysis can inform strategies to enhance collaborative efforts and improve research outcomes.
