Transforming Finance And Business Education: Finance’S Unique Opportunities, James A. F. Stoner, Frank M. Werner Dec 2017

Transforming Finance And Business Education: Finance’S Unique Opportunities, James A. F. Stoner, Frank M. Werner

Journal of Management for Global Sustainability

Mankind faces the challenge of transforming the existing global production, distribution, and consumption system into one that is more just and sustainable and which the Earth’s resources can support (e.g., Francis, 2015). Unfortunately, current business education is “part of the problem” of global unsustainability as it supports, enables, justifies, and intensifies the unsustainable aspects of the existing business system. Thus, while all people have opportunities to contribute to this transformation and are “called” to do so, university administrators and professors in all disciplines have a special opportunity and obligation to heed that call. This article is the second of three …

Toward A Theory Of The Arts And Sustainability, Nancy Bertaux Dec 2017

Toward A Theory Of The Arts And Sustainability, Nancy Bertaux

Journal of Management for Global Sustainability

To make real progress on what can only be classified as environmental emergencies, we need a wide base of public consensus for action given that public motivation and involvement is a prerequisite for policymakers to implement what our scientists urge us to do. In this light, crucial thresholds of public motivation and involvement can be created by reaching into the hearts of individuals, an area of competitive advantage for the arts. Efforts to enhance understanding in this arena, however, must incorporate sufficient complexity given highly complex and inter-related challenges in sustainability. This article thus presents a theoretical framework for the …

Sustainability Vision And Practice: The Apparent Gap Between Corporate Leaders’ Pronouncements And The Perceptions Of Polish And U.S. Mba Students From Three Universities., Al Rosenbloom, Douglas N. Ross

Journal of Management for Global Sustainability

This study focuses on the CEO-asserted critical need for sustainability in corporate strategy and MBA student perceptions of the extent to which their respective programs prepare them to handle sustainability challenges successfully. Students in one Polish and two U.S. mid-tier MBA programs were surveyed regarding their perceptions of four issues: 1) the link between sustainability practices and corporate performance; 2) the barriers to embedding sustainability practices in their current job; 3) the effects of being a sustainability advocate on their careers; and 4) the efficacy of their MBA programs in fostering leadership perspectives and skills related to sustainability. While students …

Faith-Based Socially Responsible Enterprises: Selected Philippine Cases, Aliza D. Racelis Dec 2017

Faith-Based Socially Responsible Enterprises: Selected Philippine Cases, Aliza D. Racelis

Journal of Management for Global Sustainability

Faith-based organizations (FBOs) have long played a role in international development and are increasingly involved in sustainability initiatives. Since they are motivated by a distinctive set of values, have particular modes of operation and governance, and hold a unique place within communities and the larger society, these organizations are poised to be distinctively successful and sustainable. In the case of the Philippines, the situation is unique in the sense that there are a large number of Christian business leaders and entrepreneurs who put their faith “to the plow.” Based on a review of the literature on faith-based social enterprises as …

Capital Planning, Selection, And Investment (Integrating Sustainability In Decision-Making), Marinilka B. Kimbro, Eric W. Wehrly Dec 2017

Capital Planning, Selection, And Investment (Integrating Sustainability In Decision-Making), Marinilka B. Kimbro, Eric W. Wehrly

Journal of Management for Global Sustainability

Inspired by Pope Francis’s call for a new journey that instills the importance of conservation and care for the environment, we propose a practical model that mathematically incorporates sustainability issues into capital planning, selection, and investment. Evidence suggests that managers apply net present value (NPV) methodologies in a way that disadvantages environmentally sustainable investments. If an NPV model does not consider the costs and risks of non-sustainable projects, then the potential benefits of alternative sustainable investments will appear much less valuable than present costs. Sustainable investments also often require larger initial investments with long-term benefits and distant cash flow time …

Addressing Reading Fluency Of Students With Intellectual Disabilities Using A Multiple Probe Design, Sarah N. Merimee

Kentucky Teacher Education Journal: The Journal of the Teacher Education Division of the Kentucky Council for Exceptional Children

Despite making up less than one percent of the student population, students with significant intellectual disabilities have the same rights to receive the best education possible as their typical peers. There is currently a paucity of research regarding effective reading instruction within a comprehensive approach, particularly in the area of reading fluency. The purpose of this study was to investigate if there was a functional relation between repeated reading and choral reading and the words correct per minute of six high school students with significantintellectual disabilities. Additionally, the extent to which fluency impacts reading comprehension was also examined. Five of …

The Futures Of Comparative Literature Envisioned By Chinese Comparatists, Sheng Meng Dec 2017

The Futures Of Comparative Literature Envisioned By Chinese Comparatists, Sheng Meng

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In their article "The Futures of Comparative Literature Envisioned by Chinese Compara­tists" Sheng Meng and Yue Chen discuss the future of Comparative Literature from the perspective of Chinese comparatists. They argue that in response to the latest rhetoric around the crisis and death of Comparative Literature as a discipline, Chinese comparatists have fallen into four major repre­sentative groups. While the first one advocates restoring of international literary relations study of the French School, the second and the third camp see the future of the discipline lying in both the turn to translation and world literature respectively. However, the most ambitious …

Sina Gat Uban At Horacio Dela Costa Sa Mauban: Mga Paghahanap Sa Tanawin Tungo Sa Pagbubuo Ng Lokal Na Kasaysayan At Pambayang Identidad, Nelson Turgo

Malay Journal

Dalawang magkakaiba, pinaghiwalay ng daang taong harurok ng panahon, subalit magkakaugnay na personahe ng kasaysayan ng Mauban ang nais kong bigyang pansin sa pag-aaral na ito: si Gat Uban, ang kinikilala sa Mauban na pinagkuhaan ng pangalan ng bayan, at si Horacio dela Costa naman ay isang paring Heswita at bantog na historyador, nabibilang sa isa sa mga prominenteng pamilya sa Mauban at kinikilala bilang pinakamatalinong Maubanin sa kasaysayan. Sa mahaba-haba na ring kasaysayan ng Mauban, masasabing sila ang pinakatanyag na mga anak ng Mauban.

Artikulasyon Ng Katutubong Pilosopiya, Florentino T. Timbreza

Malay Journal

Sa atas ng likas na pangangailangan ay lumikha ang tao ng kultura upang mabuhay sa mundo, kung saan siya isinilang na wala sa kaniyang kaalaman at pagkatapos ay mamamatay naman siya laban sa kaniyang kalooban. Nakapaloob sa kaniyang kultura ang iba’t ibang paraan at mga sistema ng kaniyang paglutas sa samot saring suliranin para lamang mananatiling buhay; bukod sa kaniyang katutubong wika—bilang tagadala ng pag-iisip at instrumento ng komunikasyon—ay kasama na rito ang pagbalangkas ng ilang katutubong pananaw bilang panuntunang-paliwanag o panukatang-pagkukuro at kasagutan sa kakumbakitan ng buhay-tao. Kailangan niya ang mga ito upang maibsan at mabigyang-kasiyahan ang kaniyang likas …

The Huawei Case And Its Aftermath: A New Test For A New Type Of Abuse, Sofia Oliveira Pais

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

Competition law sets limits on the exercise of intellectual property rights by dominant companies, namely in cases involving standard essential patents (SEPs). This article will examine the framework for SEP owners’ right to seek an injunction, discussing competitive problems that such situations may cause as well as the solutions adopted by the European Institutions,comparing them with the US and Japanese approach, and finally reflecting upon the opportunity for a new test for a new type of abuse. Although the three legal orders – US, EU and Japan – apply different laws establishing a general presumption against injunctions in SEPs encumbered …

The Gazprom Case: Lessons Of The Past For The Future, Dalia Višinskienė, Justina Nasutavičienė

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

Under the EU Merger Regulation, if the Commission has concerns that a merger may significantly affect competition in the European Union, the merging companies may propose modifications to the project that would guarantee continued competition on the market. The Commission may declare a concentration compatible with the common market following such a modification by the parties and attach to its decision conditions and obligations intended to ensure that the undertakings comply with the commitments. In other words, commitments have to be offered by the parties but the Commission may introduce conditions and obligations if they are required to ensure the …

Problems Related To Determining Of A Single Economic Entity Under Competition Law, Raimundas Moisejevas, Danielius Urbonas Dec 2017

Problems Related To Determining Of A Single Economic Entity Under Competition Law, Raimundas Moisejevas, Danielius Urbonas

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

The article explores the problems related to the determination of a single economic unit under competition law. The first part of the article addresses the concept of a single economic entity. It is presumed that companies belonging to a group are separate undertakings, but under certain circumstances the group might constitute a single economic entity. The second part refers to the analysis of the concept of ‘control’, which is the main criterion describing the relationship inside a group of companies. The third part refers to the analysis of the cases when de jure separate undertakings are recognized as a single …

True German And Phony English Laughter: Schmidt-Hidding Was Still Schmidt, Christian F. Hempelmann Dec 2017

True German And Phony English Laughter: Schmidt-Hidding Was Still Schmidt, Christian F. Hempelmann

Faculty Publications

Schmidt-Hidding’s (b. 1903, d. 1967) lexical field study on the area of Humor und Witz [humour and wit/jokes] (1963b) receives attention in humour research to this day, especially in German-speaking countries. His diamond-shaped illustration of the two dimensions of the field of humour, not least in its aim to distinguish “earthy” German from “courteous” English humour, has become well-known. In view of this continued interest in the final write-up of Schmidt-Hidding’s work on humour (1963a, 1963b), in which he consistently ignores his earlier related publications under the name of Schmidt, this paper aims to discourage researchers from basing their work …

Does Age Structure Influence Golden-Cheeked Warbler Responses Across Areas Of High And Low Density?, Hannah L. Pruett, Ashley M. Long, Heather A. Mathewson, Michael L. Morrison Dec 2017

Does Age Structure Influence Golden-Cheeked Warbler Responses Across Areas Of High And Low Density?, Hannah L. Pruett, Ashley M. Long, Heather A. Mathewson, Michael L. Morrison

Western North American Naturalist

Age-based differentiation in the timing of avian migration can influence subsequent habitat use and, therefore, reproductive success. Over 2 breeding seasons, we compared arrival dates, pairing success, and fledging success for second-year (SY) and after-second-year (ASY) federally endangered Golden-cheeked Warblers (Setophaga chrysoparia) occupying areas of low (n = 9 sites) and high (n = 10 sites) warbler density. Male warblers arrived on low-density sites on average 6 days later (11 March) than high-density sites (5 March). Male warblers that established territories on low-density sites tended to be younger than male warblers that established territories on high-density …

Indonesia's Energy Security: Are We Securing It Right? Lesson Learned From The Eu, Afghania Dwiesta Dec 2017

Indonesia's Energy Security: Are We Securing It Right? Lesson Learned From The Eu, Afghania Dwiesta

Indonesia Law Review

Over the past few years, one of Indonesia’s state-owned enterprises, PLN, has conducted dialogues focusing on developing a new value-creative business model to transform itself, a sleepy regulated utility, into a truly competitive electricity service provider. However, efforts to preserve the prominence of the Country’s electricity sector have been ongoing as the sector is still experiencing sustained rolling blackouts, net import dependency and lack of transmission facility enforcement throughout the Indonesian archipelago. Such efforts have been varied from the incentivise policy and programs such as the Public-Private Partnership and the two phases of Fast Track Program. The reformation of electricity …

Recognizing the need for revision of the Penal Code, the question arises as to what is meant by a revision. More clarity on what …

Legal Dilemmas In Releasing Indonesia’S Political Prisoners, Daniel Pascoe Dec 2017

Legal Dilemmas In Releasing Indonesia’S Political Prisoners, Daniel Pascoe

Indonesia Law Review

In May 2015, in an effort to foster peace in the restive Papua and West Papua Provinces, Indonesian President Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo granted clemency to five political prisoners, releasing them from sentences ranging from 20 years to life. The president also stated that there would be ‘a follow-up granting clemency or amnesty to other [political prisoners] in other regions’ (Jakarta Post, 10 May 2015). However, with up to 50 political prisoners still incarcerated in prisons around Indonesia (mostly Papuan and Moluccan separatists), Jokowi’s selective release policy faces several legal and political obstacles. This article outlines the various options open to …

Competition Merger Review For Cross-Border Mergers And Acquisitions In Indonesia, Zulheri Zulheri Dec 2017

Competition Merger Review For Cross-Border Mergers And Acquisitions In Indonesia, Zulheri Zulheri

Indonesia Law Review

This article aimed at expressing ideas on a legal construction of competition merger review (CMR) on Crossborder Mergers and Acquisitions (CBM&A) that have Indonesian legal dimension. The problem has been triggered by the lack of CMR guidelines for CBM&A to nurture a fair and sustainable business competition (FSBC). Consequently, the existing guideline is inadequate for reviewing CBM&A proposals which have a multi-jurisdiction dimension character. As a result, merging (gigantic) companies doing business in Indonesia have enormous opportunities to engage in anti-competitive behavior in the domestic market. In its turn, it brings the impact of reducing competition itself whereby national companies …

Avoiding China's Capital Market: Evidence From Hong Kong-Listed P-Chips And Red-Chips, Weishi Jia, Grace Powell, Jingram Zhao Dec 2017

Avoiding China's Capital Market: Evidence From Hong Kong-Listed P-Chips And Red-Chips, Weishi Jia, Grace Powell, Jingram Zhao

Business Faculty Publications

The purpose of this paper is to explore the puzzle of why so many Chinese firms eschew listings in China. Hundreds of firms founded in China have reorganized themselves as overseas corporations and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. These firms are called Red-chips if they are state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and Pchips if they are not state-owned (non-SOEs). To examine the rationale behind the listing decisions of P-chips and Red-chips, we compare the characteristics of Red-chips (P-chips) with SOEs (non-SOEs) listed on China stock exchanges. We find that SOEs are more likely to list in China. Moreover, while we …
