Businesses are under attack. State and non-state adversaries are assaulting companies using drones, mercenaries, cyberweapons, sanctions, and restrictions. Instead of military installations and government institutions, private firms are often the preferred targets in this mode of warfare. Instead of soldiers and squadrons with bullets and bombs, the weapons of choice are frequently economic hostilities and cyberattacks. This is the new war on business. This Article offers an original examination of contemporary business warfare, its growing importance to national and corporate affairs, and the need for better pragmatic approaches to understanding and addressing its rising threat to our economic stability, national security, and social welfare. It begins by providing an overview of the business theater of war, investigating the combatants, targets, and weapons. Next, this Article analyzes recent episodes of business warfare involving the United States, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and China to ground the theoretical discussion in the real world. These case studies illustrate the complex matrix of considerations posed by business warfare. The Article then contends with the fundamental legal and practical tensions of economic impact, business hostilities, cyberattacks, and non-state actors that emanate from business warfare. Finally, moving from problems to solutions, this Article proposes three workable initiatives to better protect firms and nations against the risks of business warfare. Specifically, it argues for robust business war games, smart cybersecurity guidance and incentives, as well as greater supply chain and market diversification. Ultimately, this Article aspires to provide a practical blueprint for government and corporate leaders to reflect, plan, and act with more urgency about the consequential realities of business warfare.

The business model concept has moved business research closer to the conceptual structure traditionally applied in military studies. Missing a concept with a function similar to military doctrine we suggest that an equivalent concept, dubbed business logic, may facilitate our understanding of change in relation to strategy and business models.

Set in Victorian London, Mean Business draws its principal character, Arthur Yeoman, into a world of violence, intrigue and dangerous pleasures. A brave but unworldly Army Officer, his mission demands that he work alongside the notorious Valentine Fanshawe. Outwardly cruel-mannered and debauched, Fanshawe secretly leads an unusual team who carry out risky operations for the British Government. Tasked with infiltrating a revolutionary cell, Yeoman is quickly out of his depth trying to manage a double life that combines licentious high-living with the acquisition of new and deadly skills. Keeping company with aristocrats, prostitutes, schemers and killers in an increasingly complex web of friendships and betrayals becomes the daily business for a hero who really wants either a straightforward battle or a quiet evening with a good book.

Section 23B.08.300 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) defines the general standards of conduct for directors in discharging corporate duties. The Washington State Legislature developed these standards to govern the manner in which directors perform their duties, rather than to impose liability on directors for negligent business decisions under the business judgment rule. Indeed, the business judgment rule, as defined by leading corporate-law jurisdictions and the American Bar Association, generally protects directors from liability associated with negligent business decisions so long as the director makes decisions in good faith, on an informed basis, without self-interest, and in accordance with the director's belief of what is best for the corporation. Nevertheless, the Washington State Supreme Court has suggested in dicta that the ordinary due-care standard of conduct included in RCW 23B.08.300 is an element of the business judgment rule standard of liability. Under the court's interpretation of the business judgment rule, the quality or substance of a director's business decision will not be protected from liability unless an ordinarily prudent person would have made the same decision under like circumstances. This Comment first argues that the standards of conduct set forth in RCW 23B.08.300 are separate and distinct from the business judgment rule standard of liability, and should not impose liability on directors for unfavorable business decisions. Second, this Comment proposes a legal framework for applying the business judgment rule in Washington state that is consistent with court precedent and the legislative intent underlying RCW 23B.08.300. Finally, this Comment proposes that Washington state courts adopt section 8.31 of the Model Business Corporations Act to provide the judiciary, directors, and the corporate bar with additional guidance in applying the business judgment rule.

There is a need for effective support mechanisms for high growth entrepreneurial businesses, the entrepreneurs, typically, know they need help with specific challenges such as selling and fund raising and they can certainly benefit from the right type of advice. However, they are also likely to need something more extensive – reality checks on what they are doing; 'wise counsel' to help them with key decisions; advice on team building. Arguably the general business adviser available to them through publicly funded programmes will not provide these, nor will entrepreneurs be enthusiastic about paying a consultant when they are trying to conserve cash in their business. Hence there is a demand for a mentor, who might well be volunteering, either independently or via a public programme. It is not unusual for governments to seek to support start-up businesses through help from mentors such as successful social entrepreneurs and retired business people. These mentors can provide the business "enabling" that start-ups and growth business need but cannot afford. Although there are many approaches to mentoring there is little empirical research that examines the roles and activities of successful mentors in the small business environment. This paper aims to identify key issues concerning business mentoring and the mechanisms that participants in the process use to engage one another. It uses a programme in Queensland, Australia, as a database.

The Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is the Organisation's flagship instrument for responsible business conduct. The Guidelines provide non-binding recommendations to multinational enterprises (MNEs), drawn up and implemented by governments. Updated in 2011, they consist of principles and standards in such areas as sustainable development, governance, disclosure, human rights, employment and industrial relations, the environment, anti-corruption, consumer interests, and taxation. The 42 adhering governments are required to promote the Guidelines and to contribute to the resolution of issues arising under the Guidelines, including by setting up a complaints mechanism -- "National Contact Points" (NCPs) -- to which trade unions and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are able to submit specific instances concerning alleged breaches of the Guidelines.

25 years ago, Gallo and Sveen (1991) published the first paper about internationalization of family businesses. Since then, research in this area has steadily increased. In this article, I review the evolution of the literature that has combined international business and family firms (102 papers from 1991 to 2015), and I identify six promising areas for research through a dialogue between both disciplines: (1) mission and objectives of firms: the meaning of ''performance'', (2) corporate government and international business, (3) attitude to risk and internationalization patterns, (4) timing, pace and speed of internationalization, (5) cross-cultural management, and (6) network perspective and social capital of firms ; Hace ahora 25 a˜nos, Gallo and Sveen (1991) publicaron el primer artículo sobre la internacionalización de la empresa familiar. Desde entonces, la investigación en esta área ha crecido significativamente. En este trabajo se hace una revisión de la literatura que se encuentra en la intersección de los campos de estudio de negocios internacionales y la empresa familiar (102 trabajos a lo largo del periodo 1991 a 2015) y se identifican 6 áreas prometedoras de investigación como fruto del diálogo entre ambas disciplinas: 1) la misión y visión de las empresas: el significado del «rendimiento»; 2) el gobierno corporativo de los negocios familiares internacionales; 3) la actitud ante el riesgo y los patrones de internacionalización; 4) el ritmo yla velocidad de la internacionalización; 5) la gestión cros-cultural, y 6) la perspectiva de redesy el capital social en la empresa familiar.

This note outlines and discusses some of the strands in the post-Keynesian literature on business cycles. Most post-Keynesians have focused on endogenously generated cycles, but the mechanism varies: some focus on the goods market, others on financial markets, the labor market, or political intervention. The merits of formal modeling of the cycles have also come in for debate.
