The effects of structural adjustment and globalisation and the emergence of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) have meant that the role of business has dramatically changed throughout the world. Statistics of the number of corporations that are larger than nation-states abound and only illustrate the importance of the corporate sector and its impact on the world order.

Corporate Citizenship – Convergence In Corporate Governance?, Vikram Rajaram

IIMB Management Review

In an almost seamless manner good corporate governance is seen to include corporate citizenship and, through an extension of good citizenship - corporate philanthropy. Corporate India seems to have accepted the nexus between the creation of wealth and the distribution of wealth. In the same manner that recommended corporate governance practices of yesteryear have now been enshrined in statutes, it is probably a portent of things to come that what constitutes good corporate Round Table 90 citizenship today will, with the passage of time, be decreed by law.

Corporate Governance, Reputation And Competitive Credibility, N Balasubramanian, David Kimber

Privatisation In India: Concerns And Methods, Subhashish Gupta, N S Venkatesh

IIMB Management Review

The recent past has seen a spurt of proposals regarding privatisation. The most famous has been the Kelkar proposal, which was almost immediately countered by a proposal from the chairman of the Disinvestment Commission (DC), G V Ramakrishna, for the setting up of a National Shareholding Trust. In between, the Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry had come up with its own proposal regarding disinvestment. These proposals sparked off a debate regarding the privatisation process and brought into focus the issues and concerns regarding privatisation in India

Farm Animal Welfare Collection

This review will address how we can measure pain in farm animals and discuss the major causes of acute pain and also chronically painful conditions, and finally make suggestions for future improvements. Pain is a relatively difficult concept to define since it comprises both a physiological sensory and a psychological or emotional component. Pain is the subjective interpretation of nerve impulses induced by a stimulus that is actually or potentially damaging to tissues. The sensation of pain is a response to a noxious stimulus and should elicit protective motor (e.g. withdrawal reflex, escape) and vegetative responses (e.g. cardiovascular responses, inflammation). …

The Strategic Organization Of Global Law Firms : Perceptions From Inside And Outside The Firm, Carol M. Sanchez

Peer Reviewed Articles

During the past decade, the legal services industry has undergone a sea change, in large part due to the globalization of business. Law firms, especially those headquartered in major financial centers, are expanding overseas at a fast and furious pace in an attempt to accommodate their clients’ needs and to capture a share of new and emerging markets for legal services. The increasing importance of the European Union as a new source of pan-European or “federal” law, and the establishment of a common currency, the Euro, has spurred many firms to open offices in Brussels, Frankfurt and other centers of …

When Chicago resident David Loundy ordered a compact disk on the Internet from a British Web site, he received an e-mail confirming his order. Loundy expected to pay the advertised price of £8.99, or about $14. When he was subsequently charged £12.99, Loundy was incensed. He argued that he had accepted the set price of £8.99 and insisted that he pay no more for the disk. But when Loundy filed suit in England under the Consumer Protection Act of 1987, he was told that the Act did not apply to him because, under English common law, the place of the …
