Lubben S: To Protect Their Interests

To Protect Their Interests

The Invention and Exploitation of Corporate Bankruptcy

In a world reshaped by AI and fast-moving disruption, corporate venture capital (CVC) is no longer a niche strategy, but a core innovation tool.Here is the practical and accessible guide to building high-performing CVC programs that help companies unlock growth, form deeper partnerships with startups, and stay relevant in rapidly evolving markets. Drawing on the author's experience launching and leading KPMG Ventures, alongside best practices from leading experts, the book combines hard-won lessons, foundational concepts, and actionable guidance in a clear and engaging format. Readers will gain a practical understanding of how to build, scale, and operate a CVC program that delivers real strategic and financial results. The book also delivers a front-row look into how emerging technologies, especially AI, are transforming the role of corporate venturing and why there is an urgency for companies to adapt. Uniquely, it balances strategy and reality, not only explaining why CVC programs matter but how to make them work under real-world constraints, inside legacy organizations, and under pressure to deliver measurable results. It's designed to help the reader build something that lasts.Whether you're a corporate strategist, innovation leader, venture team member, student, or executive sponsor, this book offers a field-tested venture capital playbook to help your organization stay relevant and move faster in a rapidly changing market.

Building Corporate Venture Programs that Drive Market Leadership

The Innovation Capital Playbook

Decoding the Hidden Architecture of Target-Date Funds

The Retirement Black Box

“Mark has spent decades in the trenches of accounting and corporate governance. This book shares real, hard-won experience from large enterprises, working at scale, not on theory. He highlights a crucial need: keeping the finance function aligned with the actual shape of the business. Especially in the AI age, this is a rare, must-have guide for anyone reading (or preparing) management packs or sitting on a board.”
 — John Turner,
 CEO, XBRL International
 
 Financial reality is constructed, not discovered. What executives see in dashboards and board reports is not a neutral reflection of events, the outcome of a financial architecture that has evolved and accumulated over time.&nbsp;Consolidation logic, data models, validation rules, systems, escalation mechanisms, and reporting routines together form what the author calls the 'Translation Layer' that stands between raw economic activity and managerial visibility.
 
 The book develops a practical framework for understanding how financial architecture influences management information, capital allocation, risk visibility, governance, and decision making. Each chapter dissects a structural component of this architecture, demonstrating how design choices determine what becomes visible, comparable, and actionable at group level. It examines how reporting systems can produce technically correct numbers while obscuring strategic drift, weakening operational visibility, and masking emerging problems in cash flow, working capital, project performance, and organizational resilience. It also considers the implications of digital finance, ERP systems, XBRL, analytics, and AI for financial reporting and control.
 
 Bringing together financial management, corporate reporting, management control, and digital transformation, this book will be valuable to scholars and advanced practitioners in accounting, finance, governance, and business administration, as well as CFOs, controllers, board members, and executive education audiences seeking a deeper understanding of how financial representation shapes corporate judgment.

Designing Venture Models for Sustainable

Funds with Purpose

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.

How We Learned to Love Nuclear Energy, and Why You Should, Too

The Smiling Atom

The 'fresh start' that is afforded individual debtors through the discharge doctrines of American bankruptcy law has, to date, defied justification by a single normative principle or theoretical paradigm. The justificatory accounts that have been advanced either fail to explain core doctrines that have long defined the right of discharge or invite theoretical challenges that suggest that their descriptive virtues are swamped by their normative or conceptual shortcomings. 

This book presents a taxonomy of traditional justifications of bankruptcy and subjects them to critical evaluation. It then seeks to offer a new justification of bankruptcy's 'fresh start' doctrines-one that takes its inspiration from a quite different moral tradition than those that have informed past efforts to justify and explain our enduring societal willingness to release people from onerous financial obligations. The book argues that personal debt relief is fully vindicated not by a utilitarian theory, nor by a distributive justice theory, nor by a retributive theory, nor by any other rights- or duties-based theory that is preoccupied with moral claims that particular creditors or debtors might proffer. Rather, the long-standing institution of discharge in bankruptcy is best explained by an aretaic, or virtue-based, theory that concerns itself with the obligations that the rest of us have to be charitable towards those who are unable to repay their debts. 

The fresh start that bankruptcy gives to those who have been shackled by overwhelming debt is justified not by its effects on creditors, debtors, or future market actors, but by its satisfaction of the demands of individual charity to which all citizens are subject. Bankruptcy's discharge of the debts of those who have become financially desperate is best thought to be an institution that aggregates others' demands of good character so as to permit citizens for whom debt-forgiveness is a personal virtue to live in a society that fulfils that virtue.

Why should debtors who default on their obligations be forgiven? Focusing on this central question at the heart of bankruptcy, this book challenges the theoretical foundations of insolvency law, exploring the economic and moral rationales for the law's decision to wipe the slate clean.

The Virtue of Bankruptcy

Debts and the Demands of Conscience

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

In the fashion and beauty industries, relevance is everything, and innovation is critical to survival in competitive markets. Denise Hardesty Sutton presents a selection of curated case studies to highlight how innovation, often shaped by specific historical, cultural, economic, and socioeconomic influences, is a key factor in pivotal events initiating fundamental change. Drawing on relevant contextual elements and insights from the entrepreneurial impulse-both inside and outside of traditional economic systems-Sutton covers a variety of turning points within the industries, including the introduction of maternity and plus-size women's apparel (Lane Bryant), new textiles, (DuPont's Kevlar), luxury streetwear (Dapper Dan), creative upcycling (feed sacks), new cosmetics markets (Fashion Fair), and business models in beauty (Weleda, Dr. Hauschka). As Sutton examines each case, she positions it within its unique context to illuminate the cultural meanings and impacts of its development alongside wider industry trends like the turn to inclusivity and the growing use of technology in pursuit of efficiency, product development, and problem-solving.
