How Spirituality Impacts Ethical Leadership: A Cross-Case Analysis Of Eleven Corporate Chief Executive Officers, Mary Rose Johnson Edd
How Spirituality Impacts Ethical Leadership: A Cross-Case Analysis Of Eleven Corporate Chief Executive Officers, Mary Rose Johnson Edd
Dissertations
Almost weekly, there are news accounts of corporate and government leaders breaching ethical and moral standards. Indeed, in recent years, corporate corruption and misrepresentation of the truth have appeared overwhelming. At the very least, corporate and government scandals suggest that there is currently a crisis in leadership. A Spiritual Audit of Corporate America by Mitroff and Denton, a book called a “landmark contribution” by prominent leadership scholar Warren Bennis, found that individuals and organizations that have a strong sense of spirituality are “far less likely to compromise their basic beliefs and values.” Their data suggested that spirituality may serve as …

Corporate Housing And Training, Cojo Gerardo Del
Theses and Dissertations
Corporate Housing & Training is a hybrid project that promotes the future use of living-and-working environments in the same site offering the amenities of a hotel, apartment and an office in one. The challenge of approaching this type of project is the way the program works and how it flows together with different users and different needs without even getting out of the building at the same time. This project helps the actual local and global needs because it would be a big impact for the traveling executives and companies by promoting business, exchange of ideas, and socializing; due to …

The Decentralization Of Collective Bargaining: A Literature Review And Comparative Analysis, Harry C. Katz
Harry C Katz
"The author reviews evidence that the bargaining structure is becoming more decentralized in Sweden, Australia, the former West Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States, although In somewhat different degrees and ways from country to country. He then examines the various hypotheses that have been offered to explain the significant trend Shifts In bargaining power, as well as the diversification of corporate and worker Interests, have played a part in this change, he concludes, but work reorganization has been more influential still. He also explores how the roles of central unions and corporate industrial relations staffs are challenged …
A Survey Of The Relation Between Capital Structure And Corporate Strategy, M. La Rocca, T. La Rocca, D. Gerace
A Survey Of The Relation Between Capital Structure And Corporate Strategy, M. La Rocca, T. La Rocca, D. Gerace
Australasian Accounting, Business and Finance Journal
This paper responds to the general call for integration between finance and strategy research by examining how financial decisions are related to corporate strategy. In particular, the paper focuses on the link between capital structure and strategy. Corporate strategies complement traditional finance paradigms and extend our insight into a firm’s decisions regarding capital structure. Equity and debt must be considered as financial instruments as well as strategic instruments of corporate governance (Williamson 1988). Debt subordinates governance activities to stricter management, while equity allows for greater flexibility and decisionmaking power. The literature on finance and strategy analyzes how the strategic actions …
Assessing And Mitigating Vip Vulnerabilities In The Corporate Environment, Hoi Z. Wong
Assessing And Mitigating Vip Vulnerabilities In The Corporate Environment, Hoi Z. Wong
Australian Information Security Management Conference
Video over IP (VIP) is becoming a tool of communication in corporate environments to reduce the time spent conducting meetings face-to-face. This has been driven by efficiencies of time saving, management’s monitoring of staff and to communicate with flexibilities - without placing additional disadvantages on employees who must regularly attend personal meetings amongst hectic business schedules. With technology excelling beyond the old telegraphy of analogy video over hard copper wire to dark fibre technology, VIP is a technology that is starting to receive more attention in the corporate world as more organisations have the equipment to support this additional plug-in. …

Individual Or Collective Liability For Corporate Directors?, Darian M. Ibrahim
Individual Or Collective Liability For Corporate Directors?, Darian M. Ibrahim
Darian M Ibrahim
Fiduciary duty is one of the most litigated areas in corporate law and the subject of much academic attention, yet one important question has been ignored: Should fiduciary liability be assessed individually, where directors are examined one-by-one for compliance, or collectively, where the board’s compliance as a whole is all that matters? The choice between individual and collective assessment may be the difference between a director’s liability and her exoneration, may affect how boards function, and informs the broader fiduciary duty literature in important ways. This Article is the first to explore the individual/collective question and suggest a systematic way …
Corporate Social Responsibility, Condition Branding And Ethics In Marketing, Danika Hall, Sandra C. Jones
Corporate Social Responsibility, Condition Branding And Ethics In Marketing, Danika Hall, Sandra C. Jones
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Over the past two decades there has been increased interest in corporate responsibility (CSR) and its relation to marketing practice and theory )Maignan and Ferrell, 2004: Polonsky and Jevons, 2006). This paper explores another marketing phenomena emerging from the pharmaceutical industry: condition branding (Angelmar, Angelmar and Kane, 2007: Parry, 2003). Condition branding has been positioned as a form of CSR for the industry, in that it provides education to the general public regarding diseases or conditions. However, the ethical nature of condition branding has been questioned as it is also seen as a deliberate method of increasing markets for pharmaceutical …

Implications Of Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting Practices In The Australasian Region, Gary Noble, Alan Pomering
Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)
Companys reporting of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities is being increasingly valued and demanded by key stakeholder groups such as consumers as it allows them to evaluate a firms commitment to CSR and to respond to that level of commitment accordingly. This paper examines the CSR web-based reporting practices of Australias top fifty corporations. It reflects on these practices in the context of the literatures call for CSR to be viewed as a holistic approach to management rather than a short-term promotional tool.

Sydney Business School - Papers
Public sector universities have certain special characteristics compared to other organisations. As Neave and Pergamon (2000, p. xiv) suggest, such universities are generally known for their "knowledge production" and the fact that their acitivities are substatially funded by the government.
A Fresh Look At A Stale Doctrine: How Public Policy And The Tenets Of Piercing The Corporate Veil Dictate The Inapplicability Of The Intracorporate Conspiracy Doctrine To The Civil Rights Arena, Barry Horwitz
Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy
Civil rights conspiracy law has drifted dramatically far from its intended purpose. Courts regularly apply the intracorporate conspiracy doctrinea principle holding that officers and agents of the same corporation are incapable of conspiring when they act on behalf of the corporationto prevent civil rights conspiracy plaintiffs from vindicating violations of their rights. While the intracorporate conspiracy doctrine was originally used to shield officers of private corporations from antitrust liability, it is now used to shield state actors who abuse their positions of power. Applying the doctrine in this way not only contradicts the intent of Congress in passing the Civil …

The False Promise Of One Share, One Vote, Grant M. Hayden, Matthew T. Bodie
The False Promise Of One Share, One Vote, Grant M. Hayden, Matthew T. Bodie
All Faculty Scholarship
Shareholder democracy has blossomed. The once moribund shareholder franchise is now critical in takeover contests, merger decisions, and board oversight. However, the mechanisms of this vote remain largely under theorized. In this Article, we use voting rights and social choice theory to develop a new approach to the corporate franchise. Political democracies typically tie the right to vote to the level of a person's interest in the outcome of the election. Corporate democracies, on the other hand, tend to define the requisite institutional interest quite narrowly, and thus restrict the right to vote to shareholders alone. This restriction has found …

This research undertakes a longitudinal study to assess the representation of CSR activities on Canadian companies' websites. A systematic sample of the websites of 159 companies from Canada's top 1000 was assessed in 2003 and 2006. Results reveal that only 27% expressed some form of CSR activity in 2003, compared to 67% in 2006. Based on a frame from Weaver, Trevino, and Cochran (1999a), CSR activities are categorized as external or internal. A strong increase in internal CSR activities is evident. Companies that are more successful indicate more CSR activity on their websites; this effect is driven primarily by internal …

Algorithmic Entities, Lynn M. Lopucki
Algorithmic Entities, Lynn M. Lopucki
UF Law Faculty Publications
In a 2014 article, Professor Shawn Bayern demonstrated that anyone can confer legal personhood on an autonomous computer algorithm by putting it in control of a limited liability company. Bayern’s demonstration coincided with the development of “autonomous” online businesses that operate independently of their human owners—accepting payments in online currencies and contracting with human agents to perform the off-line aspects of their businesses. About the same time, leading technologists Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Stephen Hawking said that they regard human-level artificial intelligence as an existential threat to the human race. This Article argues that algorithmic entities—legal entities that have …

Legal Barriers To Innovation: The Growing Economic Cost Of Professional Control Over Corporate Legal Markets, Gillian K. Hadfield
Legal Barriers To Innovation: The Growing Economic Cost Of Professional Control Over Corporate Legal Markets, Gillian K. Hadfield
Gillian K Hadfield
Markets for legal goods and services are among the most heavily regulated in the U.S. Between the profession and the judiciary, lawyers control not only who may sell legal products but who may invent them, through restrictions on licensing, organizational form and the sharing of revenues with non-lawyers. In this paper I argue that professional control over corporate legal markets in particular--with an imposed high degree of homogeneity on the pool of people who can respond creatively to the diverse and changing economic needs--poses a significant obstacle to innovation in markets more generally and control over spiraling legal costs.
