Abstract
National Health Insurance (NHI) is a part of the National System of Social Insurance which is estabilished by Social Agencies of Health. One of the problems in NHI is corporations membership. All employers such as State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN), large, medium or small scale corporations are the target member of NHI, at least by January 1st 2015, but this target has yet to be actualized. The number of corporation in Jember, by February 2017, has reached 2451 and only 954 corporations were registered (38,92%). The objectives of this study was to assess corporations decision on NHI membership. The study applied qualitative case study. Informant determination technique uses purposive sampling. The results showed that the components of input was not appropriate. Knowledge, perception on product characteristics and need of informants were low, reference group posed significant influence on the corporations decision making in taking part in NHI. The decision making process has yet optimal in the problem or needs analysis and alternative evaluation, corporations tended to be passive in searching information. The output was membership classification of corporations in NHI has yet to be actualized.

Full textAbstract:
This research takes a comparative analysis approach to study the process of economic decision-making within the private sector and the public sector. There are four main research objectives that guided this article. First, it aims to identify the different kinds of decision-making methods. Second, this article analyzes the economic decision-making processes that stakeholders have to make in public and private firms. Third, this r seeks to illustrate that establish effective decision-making and financial performance relate. Lastly, the article will offer effective economic decision-making procedures in private and public organizations, so as to make recommendations and to guide these businesses. To do so, there is a literature review in this research to find the best economic decision-making processes. Data collection tools were created in reference to the literature review that directed the structuring of the variables, and the study based the quantitative analysis on the adopted descriptive methodology. The sample was comprised of 100 respondents from China, and since 95% responded, that was a total of 95 responses. Based on the formulated study hypothesis and the research objectives, the collected data was examined for descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. In general, the findings showed that cost-benefit analysis was the favored economic evaluation method, and the respondents specified that they their internal and external economic decisions directly influence the company's operations. When focusing on how organizational performance is affected by effective economic decisions, the findings established that there was a key component for a better economic analysis outcome in the public and private firms: accounting information. Additionally, evaluating the number of processes in public and private firms led to findings that revealed the following: every decision in the public sector requires many approvals. These approvals greatly hinder economic decisions and decision-making. Social, cultural, and environmental aspects influence the decision process significantly, so they must be addressed immediately.

Full textAbstract:
The authors present their methodological recommendations for choosing a software complex to make managerial decisions within a corporation’s activity. They study the system of management in state-owned corporations and give reasons for its improvement by means of implementing IT-decisions. Digitalization is transforming managerial decision making process in corporations in accordance with the speed of decision-making, timely maintenance of production process, ways and forms of information transmission. The authors prove that top-management’s responsibility for a company’s competitive positions in the market is growing fast due to the more intensive implementation of information technology and continuous development of innovative decisions. As state-owned enterprises have a complicated interdependent structure, the system of their management becomes a process which should conform with conceptual basis and principles of transformation of a company’s activity within digital economics. The authors prove that suggested recommendations for using big data technologies, determining and implementing IT-decisions make it possible to increase the efficiency of the management system by means of optimizing business process.

Full textAbstract:
Southeast Asia's mosaics of agricultural and tropical forest landscapes have been significantly shaped by the advance of industrial plantations from colonial times to the present. Controversies over deforestation and oil palm sustainability have emerged in this context. Significant land use changes have been made by industrial plantation companies, which have diversified their activities to sectors ranging from automobiles to banking and telecoms to become corporate giants.
The solutions proposed today to curb deforestation for oil palm plantations consist of sectoral market tools such as trade bans, regulations or certification schemes that are supposed to influence the economic decisions of private companies. However, oil palm corporations are so diversified and deeply embedded in national economies that many other factors could influence their corporate decision-making. Studies since Porter and Laporta suggest that the structure of the financial network of company shareholders may have more influence on corporate decisions than the market itself, in other words that the nature of company ownership (government versus private sector) is the essential driver in corporate decision-making.
This thesis explores how these structural drivers play out in major oil palm corporations. Using network analysis, we quantified and analysed shareholdings in the main oil palm corporations in Malaysia. We gathered data on 4,331 shareholdings at ten different levels. The study describes the financial topologies and compares them with the nature of company ownership and with measurable decision-making processes, such as structural control and decision loads.
We found that decision-making was not influenced by the nature of ownership but was very much influenced by the financial structure of the corporations. We also found that decision loads and structural control seem to predict a structural flexibility which is intrinsic to these corporations.
The implications of these findings could help to rethink the political governance of deforestation and open up a new field of research concerned with describing and analysing the deep financial structures that govern the behaviour of corporations. Firstly, understanding the financial forces that shape plantation companies is critical to oil palm and forest sustainability. Secondly, we can now identify and prioritize the most resilient corporations with a view to developing sustainable practices for the long term.

Williams, Nikki. "Making Mandates Last: Increasing Female Representation on Corporate Boards in the U.S." Michigan Journal of Gender & Law, no. 29.2 (2022): 211. http://dx.doi.org/10.36641/mjgl.29.2.making.
Full textAbstract:
A lack of female representation on corporate boards has plagued our country for decades. Until a few years ago, there was not a single state or federal regulation that required corporations to fill board seats with female directors. Instead, the federal government talked around the issue. In 2010, the SEC established an optional reporting structure for corporations to communicate their hiring practices, but did little else. With no national plan in place, many states implemented legislation that urged corporations to hire female directors. But this legislation barely moved the needle. The country needed a mandate. And in 2018, California implemented the first one – SB 826. SB 826 required each publicly held corporation with executive offices in California to place specific numbers of women on its board, depending on the board’s size. The private sector quickly followed, with institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Nasdaq announcing that in order to receive funding or list on its exchange, corporations must have at least one female director. After SB 826 was enacted, the number of women on California boards more than doubled. And many states are now using SB 826 as a model to enact similar bills. But while SB 826 saw few legal challenges overall, in May 2022, it was overturned under California’s Equal Protection Clause. Even if this decision is appealed, states looking to follow California’s lead should be cautious of another threat to such a mandate’s longevity – the internal affairs doctrine. The internal affairs doctrine is a conflict of laws principle that establishes that the state law of incorporation governs a company’s internal affairs. More than half of the corporations in the U.S. are incorporated in Delaware, leaving state statutes highly vulnerable to being rendered ineffective. It is clear that mandates work. But when mandates are put in place, they should stay in place. In this Note, I propose two alternative solutions [to the female representation problem] that would increase female participation on corporate boards. First, even if Equal Protection challenges ultimately fail, rather than relying on sporadic state statutes, stakeholders should pressure Delaware to enact a corporate code that would mandate female representation on corporate boards. Second, to circumvent Equal Protection challenges altogether, the private sector should expand its mandates to consider the number of female directors in relation to the size of each board, similarly to SB 826.

Full textAbstract:
The boards of large corporations sharing some of their directors are connected in complex networks. Boards are responsible for corporations' long-term strategy and are often involved in decisions about a common topic related to the belief in economical growth or recession. We are interested in understanding under which conditions a large majority of boards making the same decision can emerge in the network. We present a model where board directors are engaged in a decision-making dynamics based on "herd behavior." Boards influence each other through shared directors. We find that imitation of colleagues and opinion bias due to the interlock do not trigger an avalanche of identical decisions over the board network, whereas the information about interlocked boards' decisions does. There is no need to invoke global public information, nor external driving forces. This model provides a simple endogenous mechanism to explain the fact that boards of the largest corporations of a country can, in the span of a few months, make the same decisions about general topics.

Using 522 nonfinancial listed companies on the Chinese A-share Market during 2008–2016 as the sample, this paper studies the discretion of corporations to fulfill their environmental responsibilities in the face of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) through a panel regression model and a panel quantile regression model. Additionally, the sample is classified and the heterogeneity is analyzed based on the equity nature, the financing constraints and the economic region in which the corporations are located. The conclusions are as follows. First, faced with EPU, the corporations are willing to actively undertake environmental responsibilities, but their marginal propensity to these responsibilities shows a downward trend. Second, under the premise of EPU, the decision-making behavior of different types of corporations to fulfill their environmental responsibilities is heterogeneous, which is embodied in the equity nature, financing constraints and economic region. Third, through the stepwise regression method, this paper further studies the impact mechanism, and finds that the enterprise’s leverage ratio plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between EPU and environmental responsibility of nonfinancial corporations. Our paper provides important policy implications for the government. In the process of requiring corporations to fulfill their environmental responsibilities, relevant government organizations should fully consider the impact of EPU on the corporations’ development, and the level of environmental responsibilities should be controlled based on the type of the corporation. We further suggest that the requirement should be imposed on the corporations to disclose high-quality and reliable environmental protection information. Finally, we recommend that the corporations should adhere to the route of sustainable development.

Corporations at this time are no longer just subjects of ordinary law, but corporations are now a forum for corruption. Corporate criminal sanctions in Decision Number Number: 94 / Pid.Sus-TPK / 2017 / PN.Jkt.Pst the judge imposes criminal sanctions not only on the accused individual but also imposes criminal sanctions on the corporation PT. Duta Graha Indah (PT.DGI). In 2009-2010 PT. DGI through its main Director at that time made an agreement in the arrangement of the development projects for special infection hospitals and tourism at Udayana University in the 2009 and 2010 fiscal years in order to win PT DGI as the implementation of work (partners). Problems in ensnaring corporations against cases of corruption committed by corporations are still difficult to implement in Indonesia. So that the judge's consideration in the decision becomes the basis for making a decision for the judge in imposing criminal penalties on the corporation PT. DGI. The research method used is normative juridical. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that judges based on vicarious criminal liability assess the existence of a working relationship in which the mens rea drawn in the defendant knows corruption but is passive with actus reus drawn from the actions of the head of the PT. Other DGIs to coordinate with other parties for and on behalf of corporations that cause illegal acts. The judge considered the mistakes imposed on the corporation were mistakes made by the management so that the corporation could be held responsible for criminal acts of corruption that had been committed.

The study explored the effect of activity-based costing (ABC) on the efficiency of performance in Jordanian manufacturing corporations. A questionnaire form was designed and distributed to a sample of 72 managers in 20 manufacturing corporations, and data were collected and analyzed using EXCEL and SPSS packages. The results found that the application of ABC has a significant effect on managing resources, performance efficiency, cost reduction, and costs of unused capacity in Jordanian manufacturing corporations. The conclusion showed that ABC were able to differentiate between high and low volume products among different activities of manufacturing corporation in Jordan. The research also concluded that the main difficulties were in differentiating between value added and non value added activities, unclear strategies, and incomplete information for decision making processes, thus, whatever activity-slack existed more levels of cooperation also existed between members of the value chain (VC). The study recommended more application of the ABC in different corporations as proved its effect on pricing decisions, cost reduction and a competitive ability of corporations in different markets.

Full textAbstract:
Benefit corporations are a new corporate form with legal requirements to account for the interests of social or environmental stakeholders. In this paper we discuss the perceived advantages of benefit corporations and critically review the need for this new corporate form. We suggest traditional C-corporations can legally engage in the activities promoted by adherents of benefit corporations and also present evidence of a potential harm arising from benefit corporations’ existence. Analysis of an original survey of over 500 respondents reveals knowledge of benefit corporations dramatically decreased the percentage of people who thought C-corporations’ directors may legally consider the community or the environment when making decisions. However, exposure to benefit corporations did not alter belief in the widely held myth companies are legally required to maximize profit Overall, benefit corporations may represent a pyrrhic victory for those seeking to integrate values, ethics, and sustainability principles into corporate decision making.

Management Information Systems (MIS) are widely used in big corporations to collect, organize, filter and present data, resulting in more effective decision-making. Through use of MIS, individuals shape the way how they make decisions. In our study, we posit that utilization of MIS in the decision-making process impacts the decision support capabilities of systems. The use of MIS develops speed, quality, and other features of decision-making. Moreover, improvement in decision-making is aimed to ensure customer satisfaction and good business results. All MIS strategies should therefore be tailored in a way that the all business goals are achieved.

Full textAbstract:
Recent research shows that a significant proportion of listed corporations in a number of major financial markets across the world are classified as family firms. That classification is based on a number of different definitions of a family firm, using criteria such as an ownership threshold and/or the presence of a family member on the board of directors and/or in the top managerial positions. The lack of a universal definition of listed family controlled corporations may undermine the comparability or even the validity of any empirical results reported. This paper aims to resolve the diversity of definitions in use by developing an operational definition of listed family controlled corporations that is consistent with agency theory — the most commonly adopted theoretical framework in existing empirical studies. Based on agency theory, I argue that the key difference between family and non-family firms lies in the control of the decision making processes of the corporation. I further argue that a family needs to dominate the management control structure in order to control decision making processes.

The methodology is based on a behavioural questionnaire targeted at the top 150 companies operating in Ireland and classified on the basis of number of employees.FindingsThe findings indicate that significant differences are apparent between companies in the industrial sector and companies not in the industrial sector in the use of real estate assets. In particular companies in the industrial/manufacturing sectors have weakly developed corporate real estate strategies.Research limitations/implicationsThe main limitations derive from a relatively small sample size, a function of targeting the survey at senior executives. There are implications for companies in the under‐utilisation of real estate assets and the effects of this on corporate balance‐sheets requires further investigation.Originality/valueHighlights that companies in Ireland, notably those in the industrial sector, have some significant way to go in utilising their corporate real estate assets more effectively.

An intelligent decision analytic framework for dealing with complex decision-making risk system is presented and Bayesian network (BN) approach is utilized to evaluate the influence of multilevel uncertainty in various risks (e.g., social, natural, economic, intracompany risks) on decision-making deviation of Chinese hydropower corporations. The technique of fuzzy probability is approached to calculate intricate parameters to the question of inference learning through the sensitivity and influence power analysis, the results of back inference show that there exists the risk transformation mechanism from external uncertain risks (e.g., social risks, ecological environment factors) to hydropower corporations’ internal uncertainties closely relating to economic uncertainties through strategic planning. The study concerning identification and intelligent analysis of uncertain risks in decision-making process illustrates the feasibility and validity of applying BN and its pragmatic implications on hydropower corporations strategic planning and guidance in operational management.

Full textAbstract:
Organizations are increasingly being responsible for providing good and healthy work environment that can help in supporting employees performing their duties. Supportive work environment can increase the degree of employee engagement, which in turn, makes them more attached to their roles. The purpose of the current study is two-folded: to investigate the effect of work environment on engagement, and to test ethical decision making as a mediator between environment and engagement. Data were collected from a sample of 237 employees from transportation corporations listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (2019) in Jordan. Structural equation modeling was utilized to test the model. Results proposed that engagement was significantly related to work environment and ethical decision-making. Work environment has a greater effect on employee engagement than on ethical decision-making. Moreover, the effect of ethical decision-making on employee engagement was greater than the effect of work engagement on ethical decision-making. Furthermore, the study yielded support for the claim that ethical decision-making played a significant role in the relationship between work environment and employee engagement. Therefore, employees having good working conditions and making ethical decisions tend to get higher levels of employee engagement.

Data warehouses are a collection of several databases, whose goal is to help different companies and corporations make important decisions about their activities. These decisions are taken from the analyses that are made to the data within the data warehouse. These data are taken from data that companies and corporations collect on daily basis from their branches that may be located in different cities, regions, states and continents. Data that are entered to data warehouses are historical data and they represent that part of data that is important for making decisions. These data go under a transformation process in order to accommodate with the structure of the objects within the databases in the data warehouse. This is done because the structure of the relational databases is not similar with the structure of the databases (multidimensional databases) within the data warehouse. The first ones are optimized for transactions on daily basis like: entering, changing, deleting and retrieving data through simple queries, the second ones are optimized for retrieving data through multidimensional queries, which enable us to extract important information. This information helps to make important decisions by learning which are the weak points and the strong points of the company, in order to invest more on the weak points and to strengthen the strong points, increasing the profits of the company. The goal of this paper is to treat data analyses for decision making from a data warehouse by using OLAP (online analytical processing) analysis. For this treatment we used the Analysis Services of Microsoft SQL Server 2016 platform. We analyzed the data of an IT Store with branches in different cities in Kosovo and came to a conclusion for some sales trends. This paper emphasizes the role of data warehouses in decision making.

Full textAbstract:
Yuhan-Kimberly's core competence is its strategic decision-making process mechanism. During the early 1990s, Yuhan-Kimberly had some serious weaknesses in its major operational divisions. With multinational companies such as P&G coming into the Korean market, the company had to make important decisions. Fortunately, Yuhan-Kimberly was able to make timely strategic decisions at the top management level, successfully dealing with its weaknesses in order to withstand multi-national corporations much bigger than itself. However, if one considers "strategically sound decisions" are all that Yuhan-Kimberly took to accomplish what it has done today, such comment would miss the point. The unique organizational structure, the corporate culture of Yuhan-Kimberly, and the strategic decision-making process are what made the decisions of senior management possible. Only a close inspection of all these factors will reveal the competitive advantage as well as the core competence of Yuhan-Kimberly as a whole.

The pan-national corporation, with its inherently complex structure, is the organizational form most severely affected by globalization. It is therefore important for the management of such corporations to improve the control and coordination of the corporations’ spatially dispersed subsidiaries. Information technology (IT) has been hailed as an important tool in changing traditional control and coordination processes in complex environments. This paper presents the results of a study that examined the role of IT in the control and coordination of pan-national corporation subsidiaries in Ireland. The findings indicate that IT is being used for changing the nature of the relationship between headquarters and subsidiaries in a manner that makes the pan-national corporation more global in orientation. This is occurring as operations and decision-making processes in subsidiaries are redesigned in order to improve global management and local responsiveness.

Environmental governance refers to the process of making environmental decisions, who makes them and how they are carried out. It includes formal and informal institutional arrangements for resource and environmental decision-making and management. This study examined the degree to which Barishal City Corporation (BCC) and Sylhet City Corporation (SCC), two divisional cities of Bangladesh, integrated environmental governance into sustainable urbanization. This study has collected data through questionnaire survey from 600 stakeholders (300 from each city corporation) along with key informant interviews from the government officials of the selected City Corporations. The study's findings show that environmental governance can pave the way to creating a sustainable city a reality. The ineffective enforcement of environmental laws and regulations, the lack of organizational coordination, responsibility, and responsiveness, and the deficiencies in resource mobilization are also identified as some of the few issues in this regard. This study argues that cities may be made sustainable by raising environmental awareness and changing the way of thinking of citizens and local government officials so that they believe everyone of them has a role to play in building a sustainable city. Creating sustainable cities cannot be legislated or decided: it must become a part of the life of every resident and organization in the city. The main drawback of this paper is that it only examines two of Bangladesh's twelve city corporations.

The aim of this work is to understand the role of the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) paradigm in the corporate assessment by investors and the use of this paradigm as guide for managerial decision-making process by corporations. A review of the international literature is provided using five different couples of keywords on Thomson Reuters ISI Web of Knowledge research engine. The literature production increased only after the 2007 crisis and the median year of the results is 2011, thus highlighting just a recent attention to themes as ethics and corporate social responsibility. Main limitations are related to the classic limitations of literature reviews, as the choice of number and type of keywords and journals, the resulting selection of studies, the choice of relevant outcomes and the interpretation, generalization and application of results. The study provides both theoretical and practical implications: a complete review of contributions on the theme is provided; then, some insights in investors and corporations behaviors through the ESG lens, thus suggesting a more ethical and responsible behavior in investment decision-making processes.

Full textAbstract:
Issues of standardization of products and marketing programs, and the degree of centralization of marketing decision making and planning, are of vital interest to multinational corporations as they increasingly compete in world markets. Previous research has established the need for some degree of standardization and, therefore, for some degree of centralized decision making. The present study was designed to assess the implications that the creation of the Single Market in the European Community will have on the standardization/centralization issue. Specifically, the role of the European central offices of major U.S. multinational corporations is emphasized. The results of the in-depth study of 22 Fortune 500 U.S. corporations with European central offices located in the United Kingdom indicate a trend toward overall strategic planning at the European central office level. More centralization of the distribution and pricing decisions is also noted for fairly uniform products but, in general, the product part of the marketing mix seems more standardized than the pricing, promotion, and distribution aspects. The paper concludes with some suggestions for future research.

Theoretical basis As the regulatory system begins to recognize the role of social responsibility reporting, reliable disclosure measures will be required. Issues of transparency, reliability and assurance are likely to arise as securities regulators consider whether and how to require disclosure of non-financial information. Various reporting models are presented in the case to illustrate different ways that these issues can be addressed by privately held and publicly traded corporations. Research methodology The case uses the company, Etsy, Inc., which has established itself as a publicly traded, socially responsible corporation. Etsy must decide whether it will re-incorporate as a benefit corporation in order to maintain its B Lab certification. This decision introduces students to the various measures of corporate social responsibility, the interests of the stakeholders of a corporation and the regulatory environment in which socially responsible, publicly traded corporations operate. The case uses only publicly available information. Case overview/synopsis This teaching case addresses the decision faced by Etsy, Inc. when it became a publicly traded corporation. In order to maintain its certification as a socially responsible corporation by B Lab, it would have to re-incorporate as a Delaware Benefit Corporation. In making this decision, the company had to consider various measures used for corporate social responsibility reporting and transparency and how these might affect Etsy’s stakeholders. Complexity academic level Undergraduate or masters level case that could be used in a business law, commercial law, legal environment or auditing course.

The general acceptance of sport sponsorship by corporate and sporting worlds alike has led to a situation whereby corporations receive from hundreds to thousands of unsolicited proposals annually. Despite this, there is a general lack of systematic research into sport sponsorship with little information in existence as to how corporations decide between alternative properties. In an attempt to address this situation, this paper develops a conceptual model of the sport sponsorship acquisition process based on the basic tenets of organizational purchasing behavior, contemporary literature on sport sponsorship, and the results of a qualitative study. It is anticipated that the Sport Sponsorship Acquisition Model will form the basis for further scholarly research to ascertain the precise nature of the acquisition process.

Full textAbstract:
The constant growth of recoverable volumes of oil and gas, the increasing remoteness of fields from developed infrastructure, political pressure and regulation, the development and complication of the technologies used, and the ever-growing volume of information create multilevel decision-making systems in the oil and gas industry. The further socio-economic development of not only individual corporations and regions, but also the state as a whole, depends on rational and timely decisions made in this area. The article is devoted to the development of management decision-making tools in the oil and gas industry. Peculiarities of the process of making managerial decisions in this industry are identified, associated with special geographical restrictions, the large disunity of production facilities and control centers, the difficulty of obtaining reliable information about the resources mined at great depths underground, market volatility and political influence. A methodology for making managerial decisions is proposed, consisting of three stages, each of which uses a specific set of tools. Five elements are identified that can be identified in almost all decision-making situations. It is shown how the preferences of the decision maker form a hierarchy of goals and values.

Decisions which are made by executives in large corporations regarding professional mobility cause changes to both their personal and professional lives. This research was carried out with the aim of creating the structuring of a professional mobility problem through the use of a decision support tool, the cognitive mapping. Through the use of this tool, a decision making structure for professional mobility was developed, taking into consideration some important aspects of this process. The cognitive mapping proposed here was a problem structuring tool which leads decision makers to a greater understanding of the problem, giving them support towards good decision making in professional mobility. Through the research carried out it was possible to identify the principal factors which lead these professionals to a professional mobility decision which is as coherent and consistent as possible with the subjective aspects of their professional reality.

Full textAbstract:
Way back in the 1980s corporations began collecting, combining, and crunching data from sources through-out the enterprise. This approach was widely accepted as a methodology that provides objectivity and trans-parency in decision-making. Good processing of the garnered data paved way for improved analysis of trends and patterns leading to better business and increased profit margins. Corporations began investing in collect-ing, storing, processing and maintaining enterprise wide data. The focus was always on the quality of data and the process of converting it into knowledge that enables right decisions. It was soon realized that a wide range of personal biases has an impact on the way decisions are made. The entire process is replete with ethical dilemmas. This paper provides a framework to understand the interplay of data, information, personal biases, ethics and decision-making. This approach is suitable for every individ-ual, team, organization or a nation. Several years of turmoil in South Africa make it imminent for it to take a fresh look at the way data is transformed into knowledge. The leadership within South Africa has to arrive at wise decisions that can withstand the scrutiny of generations to come.

This paper illustrates that the shareholder primacy model is still the prevailing model especially as the proponents of the stakeholder model have not come up with a theoretically sound alternative. It is argued that all corporations' principal stakeholders should be protected by the imposition of fiduciary duties on managerial decision makers. Homogeneity on corporate boards can reinforce thinking that leads to bad decision making. The findings of various researchers into behavioural economics are considered. It is pointed out that the interests of the shareholders are rarely, if ever, the same as those of other stakeholders. This supports the idea that a shift away from shareholder primacy is needed. The trade-offs that are often made in managerial decision making are represented graphically and discussed as an analytical tool supporting the central thesis that fiduciary duties with a broader range are the way to ensure that decisions take account of all relevant interests.

Adam's Smith's invisible hand guiding market mechanisms toward moral conduct seems recklessly idealistic today, in light of forces that have dramatically skewed international free-market operations. Donaldson argues that major changes are necessary in the decision-making process as well as in the conduct of multinational corporations in order to exercise moral obligations and meet culture-specific needs of host countries. Donaldson proposes standards for international institutions by which to protect fairness and freedom, ownership of property, free speech, and minimum education and subsistence levels. “Are such changes in the decision-making process of multinational corporations likely or even possible?” he asks. With some reservations, the author is optimistic that a more ethical approach to market issues is workable.

AbstractWe examine the manner in which South African-owned multinationals devolve power to their international subsidiaries in Africa, and the resulting effects of the interaction between strategy and structure. The research suggests that a dynamic process of power distribution may develop, in terms of the following: (1) the performance of the subsidiary, its expertise and experience to adapt to local market demands; and (2) the multinational’s need to manage the risks propagated by the African operating environment in which it operates. There is a dual facet to power devolvement, one in which South African multinationals opt for risk mitigation through long-standing control, often at the expense of operational adaptation. In contrast with the literature, which sees multinational corporations as differentiated networks, in the South African case we find a more traditional approach with clear headquarters and ‘miniature replica’ subsidiaries. This suggests that South African multinational corporations are still emerging and that it will take time to develop differentiated networks.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract:In the early 1990s, managers at Exxon decided to seek lower cost disposal in Louisiana for oil-field wastes declared hazardous in Alabama. This decision resulted in injuries to the residents of Grand Bois, Louisiana; the disposal company; Exxon; and the oil industry in the state. Given the need for business and society to manage business operations for mutual benefit, it is essential to understand why businesses injure the public so that similar incidents do not happen again. The authors use three analytical perspectives to suggest how corporations may make unethical decisions without purposefully setting out to do so: their managers may fail to understand changing social expectations for corporate behavior; they may adopt organizational structures, policies, and procedures that block ethical action in the name of efficiency; and they may follow unwritten rules of behavior for career success that exclude ethics. These perspectives suggest that individual Exxon managers may not have been making greed-based decisions, weighing corporate gains against harms to others. The situation more likely involved a failure, for the reasons discussed, to raise ethics questions in making business decisions. This explanation does not make much difference to those injured nor does it absolve those who made the decisions. It does make a difference to society and to companies seeking to understand factors that have to be overcome in any large corporation that wishes to prevent such events from occurring.

Full textAbstract:
The work is aimed at analyzing coordination mechanisms of corporate solutions and at studying a number of mechanisms, decision-making processes and information links with the use of hierarchical algorithms of block program ming. The work presents a routine task for high dimensional optimization adequate for the design of hierarchical systems of production companies and corporations, an objective function and a restriction system with composition-block structure. The special methods of block programming, where interaction between the center and the performers corresponds to the centralized and decentralized mechanisms of decision-making coordination in economic systems have been developed for this type of optimization problems. For the analysis of decision-making coordination in big systems, the unique classification of the mechanisms of decision-making coordination in hierarchical systems based on the level of information awareness of the center and the ways to increase this level has been applied. In the systems of the first type, the center is fully informed on the parameters of the objective function of the elements of the system (subsystems) and the set of admissible values of decision-making coordination or seeks to achieve such level of awareness. In this case the decision-making process is carried out in 2 stages. On the first stage, the center finds the optimum coordinating variables; on the second stage, the elements of the bottom level (blocks) sel ect ‘technological’ variables which implementation provides an optimal goal for the center. To achieve greater effectiveness and strict follow-up of the decisions made, the center can use such mechanisms of control as strong penalties. In the systems of another type, the center implements the principles of institutional and indicative management, i.e. it creates an institutional environment (structures, links, restrictions, etc.) for effective functioning of the elements (performers) and delegates it powers on decision-making to achieve the target parameters (indicators) optimal fr om the point of view of the center. It is shown that the convergence of the sequences of the specifying solutions of performers to an optimal decision-making for a system in general seems to be a necessary condition of institutional coordination methods.

Full textAbstract:
During Apartheid, the mining industry operated without restraint and compromised the ecology, the health of mining workers, and local communities. The lines between the mining industry and government was often unclear with the former influencing government decisions to favour uncontrolled operations. Although new post-Apartheid regulations were designed to control negative mining impacts, the mining industry and the state still have a close relationship. Limited academic research has empirically examined how mining corporations influence democracy in South Africa. Through empirical investigation focusing on Dullstroom, Mpumalanga and St. Lucia, KwaZulu-Natal, this paper examines how mining corporations, directly and indirectly, influence democratic processes at the macro state and micro community levels. At the macro level, this includes examining mining companies influencing government decision-making and enforcement to hold mines accountable for non-compliance. At the micro level, the paper examines mining companies influencing democratic processes at the local community level to get mining developments approved. Findings reveal that political connections between the mining industry and government, including collusion between mining corporations and local community leadership, have influenced mining approval and development, whilst excluding local communities from decision-making processes. Industrial manipulation has also influenced government in holding corporations accountable. This has contributed towards not fully addressing citizen concerns over mining development. Democracy in post-Apartheid South Africa, especially for mining development is, therefore, understood in the narrow sense and exposures the realities of the ruling party embracing capitalism. Despite challenges, civil society may provide the avenue for upholding democratic values to counter mining domination and for an enabling political settlement environment.

Many corporations and their accountants have taken ethics for granted. This oversight has led to the closing of companies such as Enron and WorldCom. Accountants are placed in positions of having to render ethical decisions daily, and when they lose sight of ethical values, the dissolution of corporations can occur. The goal in this quantitative research is to investigate the relationship between the independent variables of marital status, religiosity, and years of work experience and the dependent variable of ethical decision-making. Eighty-three members of the Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants (MACPA) completed an internet-delivered survey on ethical dilemmas. Because they were contacted through the MACPA weekly E-newsletter, the respondents were those members who chose to accept the weekly electronic newsletter and who read it. The 83 participant responses were saved within Survey Monkey and extracted by the authors. A nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test examined differences in mean rank order of ethical decision-making scores among the marital status groupings and revealed no significant differences in mean ranks (?2 (4, N=83) = 3.810, p = .432) or among the years of work experience (?2 (5, N = 83) = 7.768, p = .170). Based on results of the tests, the hypothesis that there is no relationship between ethical decision-making and marital status and between ethical decision-making and years of work experience cannot be rejected. A Spearman correlation analysis revealed no significant association (rho = -0.084, p = 0.226, n = 83) between ethical decision-making and religiosity. Based on the results of these and related tests, the hypothesis that there is no relationship between ethical decision-making and religiosity could not be rejected. The results from this study have added to the limited literature on ethical decision-making and three variables of marital status, religiosity, and years of work experience. The authors recommendation for future research is to conduct studies within different professional organizations and with additional variables including gender, sexual orientation, age, and self-assessments. Also, given the small response size of this study, a larger, more representative sample size would give the study more credibility.

This paper has developed a neuromarketing framework measuring the relationship between products and services in product–service systems (PSSs), particularly regarding its impact on PSS decision making. We divided the PSSs into different levels of product and service combinations in order to identify the impact of the various elements in PSS on decision making, particularly the key factor that induces significant variation in the purchase rate. The experiments showed the neural mechanisms behind the value perception of PSSs; this has been indicated by the appearance of N170, which is related to the cognition processing of familiarity and similarity. It is concluded that the perceived value of the product-oriented PSS is mainly determined by the product attribute, as the promotional effect of service has been clarified. The results explain the psychological and neurological activities that take place when consumers are browsing product–service bundles, which may help corporations better understand the relationships among the components in product–service bundles, providing insight for PSS innovation and service design.

Full textAbstract:
The shipping industry pursues high efficiency and low cost of chartering operations for bulk shipping market depression. Each type of ship’s operational efficiency in bulk shipping corporations is more important than the corporation’s overall efficiency. In order to evaluate the efficiency gap between various ship types’ efficiency and overall efficiency, the research first assessed the performance by a decision making unit (DMU), and evaluated voyage charter (V/C) performance by the time charter equivalent (TCE). It also measured the distance between group scale efficiency (GSE) and average group scale efficiency (AGSE) by the data envelopment analysis (DEA). DEA is able to compare the difference between the group efficiency and overall efficiency, the AGSE value, to explore the direction and extent of the overall efficiency improvement. In the research, the V/C service of Panamax, Supramax, and Handymax is considered as the DMU, to calculate the efficiency of different ship types separately. Then, it employs TCE to measure and the DEA method to compare AGSE. The larger the AGSE value, the better the efficiency. Based on the results, in order to improve the overall operating efficiency of bulk shipping corporations, AGSE should be more emphasized than TCE and GSE. The results can provide professional managers of bulk shipping corporations with the basis for a strategic decision of chartering operations.

Abstract Corporate risk-taking, as an essential factor in corporation development, is influenced by the enterprise’s strategic decision-making. Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, digital technology has a profound effect on the whole society and enterprises. Then, one question is proposed: how should enterprises make strategic decisions to deal with the current opportunities and challenges, enhance their own corporate risk-taking, and then achieve high-quality development? We collected the data from companies listed on China’s Shenzhen Stock Exchange and Shanghai Stock Exchange from 2010 to 2020. Starting from the corporate risk-taking perspective, we conducted an empirical analysis to validate the relationship between digital transformation of corporations and corporate risk-taking. We found that digital transformation of corporations enhanced corporate risk-taking. The enhanced effect was realized as digital transformation improved the information disclosure quality and asset utilization. The enhanced effect was even greater if the enterprise occupied a less favorable competitive position or received less media attention. This paper reviews the literature concerning economic consequences of enterprise digital transformation, shed new light on the enterprise’s selection of digital strategies to achieve sustainable development, and guides the digital transformation of an enterprise.

Function - The goal of this particular paper is presenting a novel framework for strategic decision making utilizing Big Data Analytics methodology. Design/methodology/approach - In this particular research, 2 distinct machine learning algorithms, Random Forest as well as Artificial Neural Networks are used to forecast export volumes working with a considerable level of open industry information. The forecasted values are in the Boston Consulting Group Matrix to conduct strategic industry analysis. Results - The proposed technique is validated utilizing a hypothetical case study of a Chinese business exporting freezers and refrigerators. The results indicate the proposed methodology makes exact trade forecasts and helps to conduct strategic industry evaluation properly. Furthermore, the RF performs much better compared to the ANN in terminology of forecast accuracy. Investigate limitations/implications - This analysis provides just one case study to evaluate the proposed methodology. In future scientific studies, the validity of the suggested technique is further generalized in various item groups and nations. Functional implications - In present day extremely competitive business environment, a good strategic industry evaluation involves exporters or importers making much better predictions along with strategic choices. To us the proposed BDA based strategy, businesses may efficiently determine business opportunities and alter their strategic choices appropriately. Originality/value - This's the very first study to provide a holistic methodology for strategic industry evaluation using BDA. The proposed methodology effectively forecasts global trade volumes and helps with the strategic decision making practice through succeeding insights into worldwide marketplaces.

Full textAbstract:
This Article directly challenges the often argued proposition that Germany's two-tier board of directors is superior to America’s single-tier board structure. It argues that regardless of structure, any decision-making body that lacks effective decision-making processes is at significant risk of failure, scandal, and ineffectiveness. Legal scholars and policymakers have largely ignored the connection between decision-making processes and the efficacy of corporate leadership. The Article is the first to examine this underexplored relationship in the context of the German dual-board. Volkswagen’s 2015 emissions scandal provides a vehicle to critically assess the relationship between Germany’s two-tiered board and an effective decision-making process. This Article argues that the structure of Volkwagen’s dual board did not automatically result in an effective decision-making processes. Additionally, an effective decision-making process—the attributes of which can be found in organizational behavior theory—is essential to helping German boards accomplish their legislative mandate. Moreover, it is essential to helping the boards of transnational corporations, which have a wide range of structural variations, effectively govern the organizations for whom they work. In sum, Volkswagen and other German corporations may follow the structural requirements of German corporate law, but without effective processes, German directors are likely to fail in their monitoring and supervisory roles. Without effective processes, directors are watchers asleep at their post, uninformed, dormant, and ineffective in preventing gross failures of corporate integrity. Unless German boards adopt and implement a Process-Oriented Approach, the Volkswagen emission scandal will simply be another mark on a timeline for a century plagued by corporate failure.

The relevance of the topic considered in the article is to solve the problems of designing management decision support systems for enterprises based on business analytics technology. The research purpose is to analyze the applied methodologies during the design stage of the enterprise information system, to develop principles for using management decision support systems based on business intelligence. The problem statement is to analyze the technologies available on the market, which deal with business analyst systems, their potential use for decision support systems, and to identify the main stages of business analyst for enterprises. Business intelligence (BI) is information that can be obtained from data contained in the operational systems of a firm, enterprise, corporation, or from external sources. The BI can help the management of a company make the best decision in the chosen sphere of human activity faster, and, consequently, win the competition in the market for goods and services. A decision support system (DSS) which uses business intelligence, is an automated structure designed to assist professionals in making decisions in a complex environment and to objectively analyze a subject area. The decision support system is the result of the integration of management information systems and database management systems (DBMS). The internal development of BI is more cost-effective. The methods used are Structured Analysis and Design Technique and Object-oriented methods. The results of the research: the analysis of the possibilities was conducted and recommendations relating to the use of BI within DSS were given. Competition between BI software in business analysts reduces the cost of products created making them accessible to end-users – producers, traders and corporations.

Full textAbstract:
This paper surveys the role of the key governmental institutions in the making of energy policy in France. It shows that in spite of fairly extensive debate of the issues in both chambers of the French National Assembly since the mid-1970s, members of parliament have so far failed to make a significant impact on decision-making in the field of energy. Part of this is due to the strength of the Cabinet's influence over the National Assembly, and to its constitutional position as policy-maker. Moreover, in spite of a vast array of departmental branches and associated agencies directly under ministerial authority, the government's power may have been more formal than real. Much of the actual decision-making is made by experts employed by the large State or privately-owned corporations. This extensive network of closely connected energy-producing corporations appears to have been, and to remain, the real seat of power, in spite of recurrent hopes for, and attempts at, democratization.

Full textAbstract:
The board of directors’ role is evolving and becoming more important in the wake of corporate scandals resulting in the collapse of large corporations and losses to shareholders. Poor governance can lead to wrong decision-making, which might destroy organizations, particularly during times of environmental turbulence. The 2008 Global Financial Crises followed by the 2011 Arab Spring throughout the MENA region and then the 2019 pandemic situation are few of many factors that created a turbulent economic and political environment for organizations, highlighting the importance of excellent decision-making skills. However, there is limited research on boards’ decision-making during difficult times in the MENA region. The authors interviewed 26 board members of 21 companies operated under duress to examine the effects on boardroom level decision making of the magnified levels of duress and stress experienced during turbulent times. Key findings from the research include trends in emotional responses in relation to decision-making, changes in the decision-making process after crises, leadership positions, and board behavior. The authors recommend that boards incorporate diversity training and awareness into all levels of their decision-making process and to the board members’ selection process. Future research should expand to different regions and industries and examine the effects of board members’ personal traits and backgrounds on their quality of choices and decision-making

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the spatial concentration of corporate power in Canada and measures the regional imbalances that are presently so noticeable. Furthermore, since corporate power in many instances is becoming ever more synonomous with foreign control the research notes not only the spatial concentration of this control but the sectors of the economy that are effectively under foreign domination. The paper intimates that those areas that house the headquarters of the giant multinational corporation are the net beneficiaries of the monetary strength, political leverage and technical expertise that these establishments have available to bring to bear in a wide variety of economic and political situations. It follows that if an area benefits from the presence of large corporations, and these same corporations are concentrated into particular regions then the possibility arises that certain "have-not" regions will have cause to feel left out of the mainstream of decision making that characterizes the economic and political well being of the entire nation. It appears that this joint problem of spatial concentration and sectoral domination by domestic as well as foreign corporations may be one of the many catalysts fostering both present-day Canadian nationalism and overt provincial sectionalism.
