Governance is very much a current concern in the public interest. The global economic recession, from which we are just emerging, has highlighted failures in governance and regulation with much blame being laid at the feet of regulators and demands for perpetrators to be sanctioned accordingly. A key to managing the prevention of future financial crisis is concerned with the recognition and regulation of a truly global market for finance, trade, labour etc. and accepting that there are different perspectives from different parts of the world. Published in association with the Social Responsibility Research Network, Volume 2 in this new and exciting series recognises these issues and takes a global interdisciplinary perspective to the matter of governance in the business environment. Contributions range from the UK, Portugal and Belgium to Brazil, Japan, China and Malaysia, and topics of investigation include: governance and the management of global markets; governance mechanisms of strategic alliances in the Japanese car industry; multinational corporations and democratic governance; market governance to governance in the market - a return to old order; and a socio-legal framework for governance.

Nonprofit Governance bezeichnet die Gestaltung der langfristigen und prinzipiellen Leitungs- und Steuerungsaufgaben einer nichtgewinnorientierten Organisation. Der Autor sieht das im deutschsprachigen Raum bisher wissenschaftlich nur unzureichend aufgearbeitete Thema als notwendige Ergänzung der derzeitigen managementorientierten Nonprofit-Literatur an. Die theoretische Arbeit enthält eine Analyse der vor allem angelsächsischen Governance-Quellen und -Ansätze und die Auswertung von empirischen Sekundärstudien sowie eine eigene empirische Untersuchung im Bereich konfessioneller Krankenhaus-Träg

"The study of alliance governance is a significant component needed for the analysis of economic organization and the execution and performance of alliances. This authoritative volume covers the most important research conducted on strategic alliances and their governance. The editors have selected seminal papers which consider a number of important issues, including when firms use alliances relative to other organizational forms (e.g., acquisitions), alternative types of alliances, and the most important governance arrangements for inter-firm collaborations. The collection also carefully examines the specific means by which firms design alliance contracts and other dimensions of alliance governance. This indispensable volume is particularly well suited for scholars and students in strategic management, international business, management, and economics." -- P. [4] of cover

Finland's traditional Nordic model is under pressure: A rapidly ageing society, the global economic crisis and growing societal disillusionment require the public administration to be strategically agile in order to maintain fiscal sustainability and to respond to a complex and rapidly changing environment. . The government's capacity to act in these difficult times will depend on the public administration's ability to work together - across all of the public administration at the state and local level, and with society as a whole - in order to sustain success and maintain its global position

Im Begriff »Technology Governance« spiegelt sich ein geändertes Verständnis der Steuerbarkeit technischen Wandels und der Beschaffenheit von Regelungsstrukturen, in denen öffentliche und private Akteure zusammenwirken. Technikfolgenabschätzung (TA) behauptet sich im Governance-Prozess als wissenschaftliches Reflexionselement und strategische Wissensressource. Im Kern versucht TA, Chancen und Risken neuer Technologien auszuloten sowie auf Entwicklung und Anwendung zum größtmöglichen gesellschaftlichen Nutzen einzuwirken. Die wachsende Bedeutung technischer Innovationen im globalen Wettbewerb verstärkt den Bedarf an Folgenwissen und damit an TA. Umso dringlicher ist es, sich ihrer geeigneten Ausrichtung und Ausstattung für effektive Beiträge zur Governance technologischer Entwicklungen und für erfolgreiche Problemlösungen zu vergewissern. Dieser Band bietet Ansätze zu einer Reflexion von Voraussetzungen und Reichweite der TA aus einer Governance-Perspektive, u.a. mit Blick auf verschiedene TA-Konzepte, mögliche Funktionen und Fragen des Timings von TA im Governance-Prozess sowie eine Analyse von Mikrostrukturen der Innovationsgestaltung. Die Beiträge nehmen exemplarisch Bezug auf zahlreiche kontrovers diskutierte Technisierungsprozesse der Gegenwart
