Abstract:
Purpose The paper aims to explore a multiplicity of corporate governance issues in the narrow purview of different corporate governance systems and procedures across jurisdictional contexts. It shows a correlation between proper implementation of rules and procedures in a corporation for determining the success or failure of corporations. The paper also posits that however robust internal corporate rules and procedures are, the recent experiences have demonstrated that the fate of corporation could also be dictated beyond the remit of individual corporations by extraneous factors such as globalisation. This was vividly underscored by the recent global financial crisis (2008-2010) and its devastating consequences on well-managed corporation worldwide. The author has structured the paper into two parts – part one and part two. Part one is designed to explore the dynamics of corporate governance in fostering the success or failure of corporations. In part two, the paper examines the interplay between rules and practices in the context of two corporate governance examples –MTN in Uganda and the defunct BCCI (1991) in the UK in corporate success or failure. The former underscores a correlation between effective corporate governance mechanisms in fostering corporate success, whereas the latter underscores how the practice of overlooking corporate rules and procedures could trigger catastrophic consequences for corporations. The paper also tries to tease out how poor corporate governance could be exploited for criminal purposes. This was underscored in the case of the BCCI. The last part underscores how two distinctive corporate governance approaches in MTN (Uganda) and defunct BCCI could proffer a lesson for change of modern corporate governance systems and procedures. Design/methodology/approach The paper was written by way of a comparative analysis of different corporate governance approaches in different jurisdictions and their different implications for the success or failure of corporations. It has examined recent corporate scandals with a view to delineate how lax governance procedures and lack robust oversight of corporation could have played in precipitating conditions for criminal exploitation. Findings The findings of the paper clearly demonstrate a close correlation between good corporate governance and corporate success. It also correlates how lack of robust corporate governance procedures could provide an environment for exploitation of corporation by executives who may have criminal inclination. The lax corporate environment can also be exploited by criminals to perpetuate other forms of criminal activities such as money laundering and fraud. Research limitations/implications The paper was largely undertaken by the analysis of secondary data sources. Because there were no interviews carried to corroborate the foregoing data, it is possible that some of it could have been biased. Undertaking interviews would have mitigated the potential for bias and infused the paper with first-hand experiences from different stakeholders Practical implications The paper underscores how two distinctive corporate governance approaches gleaned in the context of MTN (Uganda) and defunct BCCI (1991) could proffer different approaches for a change in modern corporate governance systems and procedures. Social implications The paper has demonstrated that lack of proper corporate governance procedures and oversight could provide a recipe for criminal exploitation to perpetuate crimes such as money laundering in a corporation. This could have far-reaching implications not only for individuals corporations but also local communities in form of job losses), governments and markets. Originality/value The originality of this paper is manifested that there are no comparable studies undertaken in its purview. It is, therefore, a must-read for both academic and policy purposes.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review recent examples of sophisticated money laundering operations involving financial institutions in Eurasia, including Russia and Moldova, and the resulting flow of licit and illicit capital from that part of the world to the UK, the USA, and other Western countries. Design/methodology/approach Relying on materials from publicly available sources, the study uses several case studies to illustrate various money laundering methods with a view toward identifying common elements and aspects of the schemes that might be considered new or innovative. Findings In particular, the study examines the roles that lax anti-money laundering compliance by financial institutions and the use of shell corporations designed to conceal the beneficial ownership of the companies and their assets have played in virtually all of the money laundering schemes. Originality/value The paper discusses the risks that these emerging money laundering methods pose to Western countries and their financial institutions and the approaches that governments might take to minimize those risks and raise the barriers for the laundering of illicit funds within their jurisdictions.

Abstract:
Has the post-war managerial approach to urban governance in the Netherlands and Flanders been replaced by more entrepreneurial and financialized forms? In this paper, we study the transformation of urban governance in the Low Countries through city case studies of Apeldoorn (Netherlands) and Antwerp (Belgium). We show how Dutch urban governance is financialized by connecting local public finance with financialized real estate markets through municipal land banks. However, inter-municipal financial solidarity and ring-fencing municipalities from financial markets create specific continental European processes of financialization. Flemish municipalities, in contrast, have shifted from a model of laissez-faire urban development (embedded in a system of large municipal autonomy) towards entrepreneurial urban growth regimes, in which technocratic public and private actors have increased access to public financial resources, which are used to create large urban renewal projects. In Belgium, autonomous municipal real estate corporations are a crucial instrument for connecting municipal finance to the real estate market.

Abstract:
Purpose - Digital transformation is the key to success for recent multinational corporates. Ample studies have paid attention to the effectiveness of digital transformation and usage of advanced technology, but there is a lack of research related to how to prepare for digital transformation. The main purpose of this study is to organize specific case of preparation for digital transformation from a management perspective. In addition, the empirical results are presented to examine the impact of the preparation of the digital transformation. Design/Methodology/Approach - The study first reviews previous literature about digital transformation to organize antecedents, theory, contingency, and outcomes. Second, based on the resource-based view, a case is explained the company’s context, processes, and methodology. Lastly, empirical analysis is conducted to investigate how effective the digital transformation is prepared, and results are presented with data from 50 affiliations and 1,059 employees. Findings - This study finds the key to successful digital transformation is well-prepared talent, and suggests how multinational corporates can be ready for talent selection and development. Furthermore, readiness in digital transformation in talent varies by industry, company, and employee characteristics. Then, the study implies successful digital transformation should consider a contingency. Research Implications - The current study expands the knowledge on digital transformation by suggesting an actual case of South Korean multinational corporations, which allows researchers and practitioners to understand the process and methodology. Second, this research extended the discussion of digital transformation to talent selection preparation since previous literature has focused only on recent technology. Lastly, the study introduces the empirical results of preparation for digital transformation and helps practitioners initiate digital transformation in their organizations.

Abstract:
It has become conventional wisdom in management literature that family-owned business is restricted by its management practices and, therefore, cannot grow beyond a certain size. In the case of Chinese family firms, these practices are related to paternalism, nepotism, personalism, and fragmentation. This paper examines three detailed qualitative case studies of Chinese family firms from Hong Kong that have relentlessly pursued growth through internationalization. It argues that venturing into foreign markets and transnational operations has become an effective means for Chinese family firms to expand beyond the limits of domestic markets and centripetal management structures. International business strategies enable Chinese family firms to socialize trusted members into the corporate “family,” provide a training ground for the future heir to the patriarch, and consolidate networks of personal and business relationships. There are, therefore, no a priori reasons to support the alleged limits to the growth of Chinese family firms in their international context.

Abstract:
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activities have become essential and viable activities of corporations because of the increase in concern for environmental, social, and governance issues. The motive of this research is to measure the effect of ESG on the financial performance (FP) of healthcare corporations using the market-to-book value (MTB) ratio as a proxy of FP. A sample of 33 pharma companies in India from 2011 to 2020 has been considered. The study relies on the panel data method to assess the association between ESG and FP. The potential moderating role of competition has also been studied to simplify their relationship in this framework. The finding of this study is that there is a significant negative association between ESG and FP, and it is also found that when competition is used as a moderator, it results in a significantly positive impact on the ESG and FP of healthcare companies. This study increases the understanding of the association between ESG and FP and helps corporations to formulate corporate strategies and stakeholders to make investment decisions. The originality of this study is that it addresses the impact of competition on ESG and FP of the healthcare industry and will become foundational literature for future studies.

Abstract:
The late nineteenth century is often described as an era of innovation in managerial practice, including accounting. However, despite rich case studies of individual firms, we have little quantitative knowledge of average practices. This paper uses errors and omissions in balance statements to estimate the prevalence of double-entry bookkeeping and depreciation at Massachusetts corporations between 1875–1895. In 1875, 62 percent of firms balanced their returns, but by 1895 this number exceeded 96 percent. The proportion considering depreciation increased from 18 to 24 percent over the period. Firms using these techniques survived longer on average.

Abstract:
The Ministry of Finance of China has proposed a new lease accounting model to the existing lease accounting standard that requires the capitalization of all operating leases as assets and liabilities. In this case study, the key effects of the application of a new accounting standard — Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises 21 (ASBE 21), on financial statements and financial ratios of listed companies in the Chinese air transport industry have been analyzed and investigated. Significant relative differences were found within the airline industry in China. Results indicated that the total assets and liabilities would increase due to the capitalization of operating leases, whereas the profitability of firms was expected to decrease. Furthermore, the coverage of firms would decline, but the leverage of these firms would be improved. Rather than China, prior studies have analyzed the firms in other countries, where different accounting principles are applied. Hence, this study can provide useful information for the investors, as well as other stakeholders that are interested in Chinese airline corporations, and help to complete the studies about different lease accounting standards applied in different countries.

Full text
Abstract:
Purpose Focusing on the growing importance of Indian multinational corporations in the past decades, this paper aims to understand how establishment mode decisions in a foreign market can differ depending on a series of factors. Specifically, the authors examine how institutional distance, including cultural distance and political risk, could affect these decisions, and how international acquisition experience could moderate this relationship. Design/methodology/approach The authors test their hypotheses using data from 114 outward foreign direct investments between 2000 and 2010. Findings The findings suggest that experience in international acquisitions increases the likelihood of subsequent acquisitions in high-risk and culturally distant countries. Originality/value By considering that the country of origin also matters, some differences among emerging-market multinational corporations (MNCs) may arise. Besides, since empirical research focusing on emerging-market MNCs is scarce, more empirical studies are needed to analyze the influence of cultural distance and political risk on some decisions. In the case of India, there are also additional motivations for analyzing those institutional factors. First, since this is a country with significant linkages to Western countries, it is interesting to know if the influence of cultural distance is similar or not. Second, there is a lack of empirical evidence on the relationship between political risk and establishment mode choice in the case of Indian MNCs. To fill this gap, the first aim of this paper is to analyze how cultural distance and political risk affect the establishment mode choice of Indian MNCs. Moreover, recognizing international experience to be an important factor in explaining international expansion, we focus on international experience interactions with sources of uncertainty inherent in the host market.

Barton, Linda Estes. "Experiences of six Indiana school corporations using fiscal year budgets as perceived by their superintendents and business officials." Virtual Press, 2001. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1214970.

Full text
Abstract:
This study described and analyzed the experiences of administrators in six Indiana school corporations that adopted a school-year budget under authorization provided by Public Law 50 (PL 50-1996). The study had the following objectives: (a) to identify reasons why school corporations became involved in the pilot project, (b) to determine what happened as a result of the pilot project, (c) to determine if the pilot project was perceived as successful by the school officials in the pilot group, and (d) to identify recommendations of superintendents and business officials about further use of a fiscal year budget in Indiana school corporations. A qualitative research methodology was used in this study. Data collection consisted of interviews with superintendents and business officials in the pilot group during January 2000.The administrators joined the pilot group because they believed all Indiana school corporations would eventually convert to a fiscal year budget and that their experiences would facilitate the conversion. They supported the concept of a fiscal year budget because it was congruous with the school-year. During implementation of the fiscal year budget, the administrators felt abandoned and did not receive the support they expected. Yet, based on their experiences with a fiscal year budget, the administrators supported a conversion to a fiscal year budget for all school corporations. Administrators recommended the state phase-in a fiscal year budget for other non-pilot school corporations.These findings suggest that administrators had valid reasons for joining the pilot group. In addition, administrators viewed the absence of key leaders at the state level as problematic for the pilot project. Based on the evidence, it appears that a fiscal year budget produced the following advantages for the participating corporation administrators: (a) allowed for better tracking of expenditures, (b) required less work to determine the cost of a school-year program, (c) allowed for more freedom in the summer, and (d) provided for a less stressful year-end. The success of the pilot group did not produce support for fiscal year budgets from either non-pilot school corporation officials or from state officials. Recommendations for piloting policy change and for further study on fiscal year budgets are included.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Users of Cash Flow Statements expect the information provided as cash flow from operating and investing activities to serve as a possible indicator that the company is facing bankruptcy. Traditionally, companies disclose depreciation as an operating activity and replacement of fixed assets as an investing activity. Companies that direct cash payments toward dividend and future expansion without addressing replacement of fixed assets are creating an unrealistic picture of their operating and investing activities. Generally accepted accounting practices (GAAP) have limited its disclosure requirements and has not addressed the issue of separating the expansion of fixed assets from replacement. This mini-study project researches the impact of disclosing depreciation as an investing activity and the replacement of fixed assets as an operating activity. Based on the findings, it is recommended that GAAP make it a requirement that the replacement and expansion of fixed assets be disclosed separately. It is further recommended that either depreciation be disclosed as an investing activity, or that replacement of fixed assets be disclosed as an operating activity on the Cash Flow Statement. The methods of disclosure investigated in the study will lead to an improvement in the ability of the two activities to serve as possible early indicators of bankruptcy.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Gebruikers van kontantvloeistate verwag dat die inligting wat verskaf word van die bedryfs- en investeringsaktiwiteite as 'n moontlike indikator van die ondergang van die onderneming moet kan dien. Waardevermindering word tradisioneel as 'n bedryfsaktiwiteit openbaar, terwyl die vervanging van vaste bates as 'n investeringsaktiwiteit openbaar word. Ondernemings wat direkte kontantbetalings as dividende en toekomstige uitbreiding openbaar sonder dat die vervanging van vaste bates aangespreek word, skep 'n onrealistiese beeld van hul bedryfs- en investeringsaktiwiteite. Algemeen aanvaarde rekeningkundige beginsels het die openbaarmakingsvereistes beperk en spreek nie die skeiding tussen uitbreiding van bates en die vervanging daarvan aan nie. Hierdie mini-werkstuk ondersoek die impak van die openbaarmaking van waardevermindering as 'n investeringsaktiwiteit en vervanging van vaste bates as 'n bedryfsaktiwiteit. Gebaseer op die bevindinge word daar aanbeveel dat die algemeen aanvaarde rekeningkundige beginsels dit 'n vereiste maak dat die vervanging en uitbreiding van vaste bates apart openbaar word. Verder word aanbeveel dat waardevermindering as 'n investeringsaktiwiteit of vervanging van vaste bates as 'n bedryfsaktiwiteit in die kontantvloeistaat openbaar word.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the determinants of corporate performance and likelihood of default of Jordanian publicly listed companies. Despite the large body of work that has investigated the determinants of corporate performance and default, no comprehensive study has emerged in an emerging market. Indeed, most of the empirical research on corporate performance and failure has been conducted in the developed markets such as the USA and the UK. This is the first rigorous and comprehensive study to examine empirically the determinants of corporate performance and failure of the publicly listed companies in an emerging market of Jordan. Also, it is the first study to present evidence on the determinants of corporate performance and failure in the Jordanian market using microeconomic and macroeconomic variables. Another objective of the research is to investigate the effect of the two financial systems on corporate health, since two banking systems operate in Jordan. It is also the objective of this thesis to investigate the effects of external shocks on Jordanian corporate performance and failure, especially those occurring within the Middle East region such as the Gulf Crisis 1990-1991 and the outbreak of the Intifadah in September 2000. Our study uses time-series and cross-sectional data of the publicly traded companies on the Amman Stock Exchange over the period 1989-2003. The study examines the determinants of capital structure and corporate performance using the random effects model and the pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) regression method. The study also examines the determinants of corporate failure (default) using the Logit model. A firm’s tangibility is found to have a positive and significant impact on a firm’s capital structure, while it has a negative impact on the short-term debt to total assets ratio. Firm profitability, liquidity, and stock market activity are found to have a negative and significant impact on a firm’s capital structure. The analyses show that a firm’s capital structure is negatively and significantly related to corporate performance, but positively and significantly related to its failure. The Gulf Crisis 1990-1991 had a positive impact on corporate performance, while the outbreak of Intifadah had a negative effect on corporate performance. The study also highlighted the importance of industrial sectors in determining corporate performance. Ownership concentration measured by the largest five shareholders was found to be positively and significantly related to corporate failure in both the cross-sectional sample and the panel data sample. The analysis also found that there is a non-linear relationship between a firm’s performance value and ownership structure. Another important finding is that Islamic banks' credit has an important and significant impact in increasing a firm’s performance measure return on assets (ROA). Unexpected changes in interest rates are found to be negatively and significantly related to corporate default (failure). This implies that corporate performance and distress, or insolvency, are affected by their capital structure, ownership structure, cash flow, and macroeconomic variables.

Abstract:
Finance-growth nexus is a very known topic in the finance literature and most of the studies confirmed the finance-led growth hypothesis for all developed and developing countries. On the other hand, numerous studies investigated the impact of innovation on economic growth and found a substantial effect of the innovation. Especially for the last two decades almost every study agreed on the positive impact of financial development and innovation on growth. Besides various innovation-based growth models indicated that financial development is one of the main promoter of innovation-based economy. Financial development affects the efficiency of the market or the firm and this increases the innovation capacity. Despite this, only few studies focused on the relation of financial development and innovation. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the financial development and innovation for selected OECD countries. Especially this study highlighted the changing role of the financial markets to promote the innovative activity of OECD countries. For this purpose, ARDL model employed to analyze the nexus between the financial development and innovation. The empirical findings of this study provided more knowledge to implement more effective policies to policymakers.

Abstract:
Human systems integration (HSI) involves Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE), Human-Machine Interaction (HMI), engineering, and domain experience, which are the initial components of systems engineering (SE) in all industries' economies: wellbeing, transportation, energy, IT, retail, finance, manufacturing, and production. HSI can be achieved by combining virtual prototyping with Human-In-the-Loop (HIL) simulations. HMI is typically a model-based and patented innovation; it uses HIL and requires a homogenized systemic reflection with feedback. Virtual Reality (VR) Human-Centered Design (HCD) is sustainable. VR-controlled HCD acts as a definitive Key Enabling Technology (KET) concept in considering the full range of system Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and whether the process is sustainable. To this end, on the planet earth, human organizational elements are not only assessed during the design process but the whole LC of a system. Against intuitive education, it has been stated that conservative and narrow LCA should not be implemented in a sustainable world but instead Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C) design from social, economic, or environmental terms; the objective is to increase positive impacts, not reduce negative ones as in LCA. By enabling virtual environments, digital tools enable these new capabilities, which should be realized as sustainable by Digital Twin (DT) formable as a Sustainable Model Based HSI (SMBHSI) concept with high-level Artificial Intelligence (AI) and C2C consideration forming the level of the metaverse, straining from VR. DT-based Internet of Things (IoT) solutions enable investigators to test scenarios for future foresight, give corporations abilities to benefit from performance metrics based on domain experience, and are a crucial concept in SMBHSI. A case on this proceeding instance will display an example for SMBHSI when the method is scoping review to the strategic objective to form an up-to-date linear outlook. Integrating HSI on AI and C2C thinking methodologies helps to save resources and move towards the globalized green level of circular economies, representing the economic integration of the economy of the human system by indirect resources utilization suggestion as indicative as inference and adaptation to blockchains.

Full text
Abstract:
To date, most business management research has focused on large companies and has not taken into account the factor related to the size of companies. Much research in recent decades has studied the causal relationships with implications and antecedents of CSR application, debated definitions, and considered their scope and content. This study wants to analyze, in the contexts of SMEs, the theoretical frame of reference, the consequences as well as the antecedents of CSR in order to provide future empirical studies, a starting point. The results highlight aspects related to the possible impact in the context of SMEs of CSR, barriers, language, terminology, background and the recommended theoretical framework. The analysis of the scientific output that is indexed in the international Scopus database on the topic of “corporate social performance and corporate social responsibility” in SMEs is the main objective of this study. Social responsibility actions represent, within large corporations, a natural practice, which is obvious, observed in the literature. Given this aspect, there is a totally different reality in the case of small and medium enterprises, primarily due to their high heterogeneity. Starting from this objective, we identified a number of 324 articles on this topic, following a bibliometric analysis. The majority of studies being qualitative studies, there is a certain concentration of scientific production in the last 18 years (2002-2020).

Abstract:
Abstract The method of “Key Characteristics” (KCs) is gaining popularity in many US companies as a way to focus the organization on important product features that have a significant impact on product and customer requirements. (Lee et al., 1995; Lee and Thornton, 1996) Research was undertaken at several major US corporations to understand the current and best-practice use of key characteristics. The methods in use were found to be lacking in formality and ease of application. Our observations and subsequent research has resulted in the enhanced key characteristic definitions, categorization, prioritization, and identification methodology presented in this paper. Two case studies using an automotive and an aircraft product are used to illustrate the key characteristic identification method. A high risk key characteristic (referred to as “StatKCs” in this paper) identification technique was also developed that establishes a quantitative relationship between customer requirements and manufacturing costs. The methods presented in this paper can be used to support efficient and effective strategic and operational decisions during the product realization process.

Full text
Abstract:
International financial institutions (IFIs) and multilateral development banks have been playing a vital role in the response, recovery and ‘build back anew’ agenda from the COVID-19 pandemic. This is especially true of the World Bank Group (WBG), given its high volumes of committed investments across sectors, especially in low-income and vulnerable countries. This report presents, through case studies, how care-responsive the World Bank’s COVID-19-related investments have been in four member countries: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal and the Philippines. It does so by using the Care Principles and Care-Responsive Barometer for IFIs to assess the nature of the WBG’s post-COVID recovery investments in these select countries, and by building evidence through a gender- and care-responsive budget review. The foundation for care inclusion has already been laid in WBG policy. The report uses this as an entry point to urge it to bring women’s unpaid, underpaid and paid work to the centre of the IFI agenda in order to move towards rebuilding a more gender-just and equal future.

Price, Roz. Climate Adaptation: Lessons and Insights for Governance, Budgeting, and Accountability. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), December 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2022.008.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid review draws on literature from academic, policy and non-governmental organisation sources. There is a huge literature on climate governance issues in general, but less is known about effective support and the political-economy of adaptation. A large literature base and case studies on climate finance accountability and budgeting in governments is nascent and growing. Section 2 of this report briefly discusses governance of climate change issues, with a focus on the complexity and cross-cutting nature of climate change compared to the often static organisational landscape of government structured along sectoral lines. Section 3 explores green public financial management (PFM). Section 4 then brings together several principles and lessons learned on green PFM highlighted in the guidance notes. Transparency and accountability lessons are then highlighted in Section 5. The Key findings are: 1) Engaging with the governance context and the political economy of climate governance and financing is crucial to climate objectives being realised. 2) More attention is needed on whether and how governments are prioritising adaptation and resilience in their own operations. 3) Countries in Africa further along in the green PFM agenda give accounts of reform approaches that are gradual, iterative and context-specific, building on existing PFM systems and their functionality. 4) A well-functioning “accountability ecosystem” is needed in which state and non-state accountability actors engage with one another. 5) Climate change finance accountability systems and ecosystems in countries are at best emerging. 6) Although case studies from Nepal, the Philippines and Bangladesh are commonly cited in the literature and are seen as some of the most advanced developing country examples of green PFM, none of the countries have had significant examples of collaboration and engagement between actors. 7) Lessons and guiding principles for green PFM reform include: use the existing budget cycle and legal frameworks; ensure that the basic elements of a functional PFM system are in place; strong leadership of the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and clear linkages with the overall PFM reform agenda are needed; smart sequencing of reforms; real political ownership and clearly defined roles and responsibilities; and good communication to stakeholders).

Tian, Nan, Diego Lopes da Silva, and Xiao Liang. Using Taxation to Fund Military Spending. Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, January 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.55163/xlej7426.

Full text
Abstract:
World military expenditure is on the rise. To fund their increases in military spending, options available to governments include tax, debt or revenue from natural resources. Each form of financing has its consequences, economic, political or social. Tax is the prevalent source of finance for governments. The use of tax, and the choice among different types of tax, can have an impact on income inequality and economic growth, among other things. However, no scholarly attention has yet been paid to the use of taxation to fund military spending. Using statistical analysis combined with in-depth case studies sheds light on this use of taxation. The findings—based on data for 100 countries between 1990 and 2020 and reinforced by detailed case studies on Burundi and Ukraine—show that countries in conflict tend to resort to indirect taxation to fund military expenditure. This is particularly true for low-income countries and for countries with an autocratic regime. This association can be consequential, considering the accumulated evidence on the impacts of indirect taxation on income inequality.

Full text
Abstract:
China is the subject of Western criticism for its supposed disregard of the rules-based international order. Such a charge implies that China is unilateralist. The aim in this study is to explain how China does in fact have a multilateral approach to international relations. China’s core idea of a community of shared future of humanity shows that it is aware of the need for a universal foundation for world order. The Research Report focuses on explaining the Chinese approach to multilateralism from its own internal perspective, with Chinese philosophy and history shaping its view of the nature of rules, rights, law, and of institutions which should shape relationships. A number of case studies show how the Chinese perspectives are implemented, such as with regards to development finance, infrastructure projects (especially the Belt and Road Initiative), shaping new international organisations (such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank), climate change, cyber-regulation and Chinese participation in the United Nations in the field of human rights and peacekeeping. Looking at critical Western opinion of this activity, we find speculation around Chinese motives. This is why a major emphasis is placed on a hermeneutic approach to China which explains how it sees its intentions. The heart of the Research Report is an exploration of the underlying Chinese philosophy of rulemaking, undertaken in a comparative perspective to show how far it resembles or differs from the Western philosophy of rulemaking.

Occhiali, Giovanni, Doris Akol, and Philip M. Kargbo. ICT and Tax Administration in Sub-Saharan Africa: Adopting ITAS in Uganda and Sierra Leone. Institute of Development Studies, October 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/ictd.2022.014.

Full text
Abstract:
The adoption of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the public sector, including for tax administration, has been hailed as potentially transformational over the last few decades. Its impact has been less far-reaching than imagined. A literature examining the determinants of – and obstacles to – ICT adoption arose as a result, almost exclusively focusing on the experience of high-income countries. However, understanding the experience of adoption in low-income countries is equally important, especially given the potential role that ICTs can play in tackling various development issues, including increasing mobilisation of domestic revenue. To help fill this gap, we present two in-depth case studies of the process of adopting an integrated tax administration system (ITAS) in Uganda and Sierra Leone, based on a series of semi-structured interviews with members of the respective revenue authorities and ministries of finance. Our analysis shows that many of the factors that facilitate and impede the adoption process are the same as those identified in high-income countries. However, we also identify some factors that are more likely to be relevant for low-income countries. These include the impact of the timeline for disbursing donor funding, the processes donors require to be used for procurement, and the quality of legacy data to be migrated into the new system. The need to embark on change management and re-engineering business processes was also recognised more fully than might have been expected in countries with relatively little prior experience in e-government services.
