Cliques and Capitalism - A Modern Networked Theory of the Firm (Paperback, 1st ed. 2011): Deborah E De Lange Cliques and Capitalism - A Modern Networked Theory of the Firm (Paperback, 1st ed. 2011)
Deborah E De Lange
R1,521 Discovery Miles 15 210 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

De Lange suggests a new contextually linked building block model to develop theories of the firm in the field of strategy and organizations. Using this approach, she proposes two models: one that is a realistic American version and another that is a futuristic sustainable model. Both are new networked models that integrate current theories; a review of international corporate governance supports the sustainable firm that solves problems of the current one. Through a revised theoretical lens, the book answers a provocative question surrounding modern corporate America: Who wields the power? In this investigative look at the institutional mechanisms behind who is truly running the show, Cliques and Capitalism seeks to not only explain why the current corporate system fails to function well, but also offers solutions for improved corporate governance through a new sustainable model.

Ethics and Responsibility in Finance (Hardcover): Paul H. Dembinski Ethics and Responsibility in Finance (Hardcover)
Paul H. Dembinski
R1,967 Discovery Miles 19 670 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

From the mid-1970s until the crisis in 2007, the world of finance enjoyed thirty euphoric years as the general public, businesses and governments put their blind trust in financial techniques, professions and institutions. Shaken up by a structural crisis and a crisis of legitimacy, today's financial sector can no longer afford to avoid the issues summed up by the key question: what is next for the role of ethics and responsibility in finance? Many see an unbridgeable gap between ethics and responsibility and financial practice. Ethics and Responsibility in Finance paves the way for the dialogue that is needed in order to solve the current problems and allow the return of a refined ethical thinking in the financial sector. This book opens with an in-depth analysis of the operational implications of two key notions: ethics and responsibility. It then addresses ethical dilemmas that are characteristic to each of the three actors involved in any financial transaction. This begins with the discussion of the dilemmas of the ultimate owner of funds: the individual or collective saver, as in the case of pension funds. The analysis then turns to financial intermediaries such as banks, insurance companies, asset managers, and consultants, who work in a web of different loyalties. Finally, the dilemmas of the user of funds are addressed - the household taking a mortgage, an enterprise or a public authority which borrows - all of which have to be clear on the reasons and values driving their decisions. This volume is of great interest to those who study banking, corporate finance and ethics philosophy.

Monika Müller, Magnus Pirovino
R537 Discovery Miles 5 370 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Dieses essential startet mit einer kleinen Geschichte zum Thema Geld und zeigt anschließend das Dilemma zwischen Risiko und Ertrag auf, mit dem jeder Finanzberater konfrontiert ist. Anschließend erläutern die Autoren in einem interdisziplinären Dialog, wie Theorien aus der modernen Physik und Psychologie neue Impulse für die Finanzberatung liefern. Die vorgestellten Perspektiven fördern eine andere Haltung und ein neues Denken: Das Geheimnis des Geldanlegens liegt in einer stabilen und kohärenten Beziehung zwischen Anleger und Anlageberater. Gerade der Zwiespalt zwischen Unsicherheit im Risiko und Ertragsunsicherheit führt zum gemeinsamen Anlageerfolg, weil er einen unumgänglichen, aber gewinnbringenden Dialog in der Finanzberatung auslösen kann.

The Problem that Won't Go Away - Reforming U.S. Health Care Financing (Paperback): Henry Aaron The Problem that Won't Go Away - Reforming U.S. Health Care Financing (Paperback)
Henry Aaron
R642 Discovery Miles 6 420 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Why did President Clinton's efforts to reform the financing of American health care fail? For years to come, politicians and scholars of public policy will revisit the debate over Clinton's health care plan. What did planners do right? And what did they do wrong? How can the mistakes of that experience be avoided in the future? What steps can now be taken to achieve some measure of reform in smaller pieces? In The Problem That Won't Go Away, economists, political scientists, sociologists, public opinion experts, and government staff offer answers to these and other crucial questions. They recount the history of the Clinton health care plan, present several alternative strategies the administration might have pursued, and conclude that none was likely to achieve the administration's goals of universal coverage and cost containment. Many support the view that the administration, Congress, and the nation lacked the political consensus and the information to credibly describe the effects of any single bill to reform the U.S. health care system. In that case, was the only option available to the administration to reach for goals far more modest than those it sought? Health care financing as a national political issue will not go away. Pressure to cut public spending to balance the budget means that medicare and medicaid will stay in the legislative spotlight; the retirement of the baby-boom generation in the beginning of the next century promises large increases in the cost of medicare; and a flood of new and costly medical technologies will continue to put financial pressure on everyone responsible for paying for health insurance. But, as this book illustrates, the nature of the debate inthe years after the demise of the Clinton plan will be altogether different from that of the past several decades.

Behavioural Finance - Insights Into Irrational Minds & Markets (Hardcover): J Montier Behavioural Finance - Insights Into Irrational Minds & Markets (Hardcover)
J Montier
R2,624 Discovery Miles 26 240 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

"In his splendid handbook for institutional investors, James Montier combines the insights he has gained as a practitioner, with the insights he has gleaned reading the academic literature in behavioural finance. Most importantly, Montier identifies key lessons to help institutional investors mitigate their susceptibility to psychologically-induced errors and biases". Professor Hersh M. Shefrin, Leavey School of Business & Administration, Santa Clara, University

"Behavioural Finance is unique in combining in a practical way the insights of a very experienced investment practitioner with a very readable review of what the research evidence tells us. This book is essential reading for all serious students of market behaviour and any investor wanting to know how behavioural finance can be used to enhance investment returns". Professor Richard Taffler, Head of Finance and Accounting, Cranfield School of Management, UK

"Behavioural finance abandons the assumptions of investor rationality and suggests that people do make mistakes in a consistent and predictable manner. Investors need to understand the herd if they want to make sense and profit from today's markets. James Montier's accessible book soundly guides the reader from behavioural finance theory to application. Don't grapple with the academic literature - just read Montier". Christian E Elsmark, Investment Director, JPMorgan Fleming Asset Management

Venture Capital and the Corporate Governance of Chinese Listed Companies (Paperback, 2012 ed.): Lin Zhang Venture Capital and the Corporate Governance of Chinese Listed Companies (Paperback, 2012 ed.)
Lin Zhang
R2,849 Discovery Miles 28 490 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

State-controlled listed companies have always dominated Chinese stock markets. As a result of the rampant scandals related to them, there have been voluminous academic efforts to explore their corporate governance, underpinned by agency costs. However, these studies have yet to examine the phenomenon from the perspective of venture capital and adaptive efficiency. During the last ten years, despite China's remarkable progress in the development of its venture capital market, its domestic venture capital has been marginalized by American competitors. Given the different performance between them, the author contends that the corporate governance system of Chinese state-controlled listed companies has hampered the performance of the institutional factors which are responsible for the prosperity of American venture capital in Chinese venture capital markets. With the practice of American venture capital as the mirror, he empirically demonstrates that Chinese domestic venture capital lacks the four factors related to the success of their American counterparts: large and independent funding, application of incentive mechanisms, efficient exit channels, and a high risk tolerance level. More importantly, these defects as a whole are closely linked to the corporate governance of state-controlled listed companies. Considering the potential negative consequences on economic and social development, the author identifies policy reforms underway to harmonize agency costs and adaptive efficiency.

P. Koku
R3,330 Discovery Miles 33 300 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

As interest in MBA programs and business schools more generally continues to grow, it is essential that teachers and students analyse their established strategy for decision making. The successful use of case studies in business schools shows the superior outcomes of an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving. Disappointingly, functional departmental silos within universities still exist and keep problem solvers from seeing all the effects of a given issue. In addition to providing teaching material, Decision Making in Marketing and Finance provides motives and strategies to break down functional silos in making informed and effective business and finance decisions. Koku achieves his goal by showing how value can be created for shareholders and other stakeholders, linking marketing and finance decision making, and providing much-needed teaching materials for an interdisciplinary approach to case analysis.
