van der Meulen, Marten. « Are We Indeed So Illuded ? Recency and Frequency Illusions in Dutch Prescriptivism ». Languages 7, no 1 (22 février 2022) : 42. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/languages7010042.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In 2005, Arnold Zwicky posited two misapprehensions about language: the Recency Illusion, or the false idea that certain language variation is new, and the Frequency Illusion, the erroneous belief that a particular word or phrase occurs often. Since their conception, these concepts have received widespread attention in popular scientific linguistics, but quantitative research investigating their application is scarce. The purpose of this paper is to provide an empirical investigation of Zwicky’s proposed illusions. It does so by collecting statements about recency (‘this word is new’) and frequency (‘this construction occurs often’) from a database of Dutch prescriptive publications (1900–2018). I assessed their accuracy by comparing them to linguistic sources, including dictionaries, and usage corpora and other data. Our research showed that recency statements were rare, but that frequency statements, especially using high frequency terms such as vaak (‘often’), were commonplace. Compared to usage, most prescriptive recency and frequency statements for both lexis and grammar indeed constituted Zwickian illusions. This seems partly due to genuine erroneous or unsupported beliefs by authors, but also partly to prescriptive genre conventions and rhetorical choices. Our explorative research highlights the complex usage–prescriptivism interface, and argues for more research into this aspect of language perceptions.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Purpose The purpose of this study is to uncover the extent of utilisation of photographs depicting corporte social responsibility (CSR) information in corporate annual reports and the possible motives for their use. Design/methodology/approach The study used visual content analysis, based on Banks’ (2001) strategy of “looking through”, “looking at” and “looking behind” photographic images, to examine and analyse 4,933 photographs contained in the 2005, 2010 and 2015 annual reports of 70 companies listed on New Zealand Stock Exchange. The findings were interpreted using the impression management theoretical construct. Findings The findings show a marked increase in the utilisation of photographs for CSR-associated disclosures by the sample companies. Surprisingly, the quantity of photographs depicting environmental performance has declined, whereas those featuring product responsibility have increased significantly. The “messages” encoded in the photographs create idealistic images of the companies being caring and responsible corporate citizens. This suggests that companies are systematically using symbolic presentations such as photographs of children and families for rhetorical impression management. Practical implications The study contributes to a greater understanding of the power of photographs in representing and constructing “reality” of CSR performance. The findings have the potential to inform and assist the promulgation of guidelines for CSR reporting, as well as make users aware that photographs could be exploited as a rhetoric and impression management tool in pursuit of symbolic legitimacy. Originality/value The study develops a structured approach for categorising and analysing CSR-related photographs and adds to the scant literature on the utilisation of photographs as a medium for CSR information dissemination.

Richardson, Benjamin J. « Green Illusions : Governing CSR Aesthetics ». Windsor Yearbook of Access to Justice 36 (11 décembre 2019) : 3–35. http://dx.doi.org/10.22329/wyaj.v36i0.6065.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This article makes a novel argument that governance of corporate environmental activities should recognize that the business corporation is an aesthetic phenomenon, including the environmental practices and communications undertaken in the name of “corporate social responsibility” [CSR]. Corporate identities and CSR practices are aesthetically projected through logos, trademarks, websites, the presentation of products and services, stylish offices, company uniforms, and other aesthetic artefacts. This corporate “branding” dovetails with the broader aestheticization of our pervasive media and consumer culture. Aesthetics has particular salience in CSR for influencing, and sometimes misleading, public opinion about corporate environmental performance. Consequently, in disciplining unscrupulous corporate behaviour, governance methods must be more responsive to such aesthetic characteristics. The green illusions of business communications create difficulties for regulation, which is better suited to disciplining discrete misleading statements about retailed products or trademarks rather than tackling the broader aesthetic character of business and the marketplace. The article suggests that non-state actors who are more sensitive to aesthetics can help to fill some of this governance void. The “counter-aesthetic” strategies of social and environmental activist groups can inject a subversive narrative that can help to unmask these green illusions. Although the history of such tactics suggests they probably have only a modest effect in challenging corporate deception, the law can assist by protecting public spaces from corporate marketing and sponsorship.

Texte intégralRésumé :
L'articolo consiste nella trascrizione di una seduta dal vivo condotta, durante un convegno, da Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb, e nel commento da parte del neuroscienziato Vittorio Gallese, che ha assistito alla seduta. Il risultato č un originalissimo confronto su temi che riguardano l'interfaccia tra psicoterapia e neuroscienze. La partecipazione del terapeuta, il suo sentire in maniera "incarnata", diventa possibilitŕ per il paziente di consapevolezza di sé e strumento terapeutico per coglierne e sostenerne l'intenzionalitŕ di contatto. In una prospettiva estetica e processuale, la seduta č stata incentrata sull'esperienza percettiva e propriocettiva in cui la dimensione corporea e le risonanze sensori-motorie e affettive del quied- ora hanno giocato un ruolo fondamentale. Il neuroscienziato ha inoltre collegato l'enterocezione usata dalla terapeuta (la consapevolezza del battito cardiaco) ai recenti studi sul sistema nervoso autonomo e sistema nervoso centrale, e ha ricordato gli studi sul fenomeno della "mano di gomma", che rilevano come una maggiore capacitŕ di sentirsi dentro correli con un confine del sé corporeo piů stabile, meno facilmente violabile da illusioni.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The rubber hand illusion is a perceptual illusion of perceiving an object like a model hand as part of the own body. The question whether the illusion can be induced with noncorporal objects that do not look like a human body part is not perfectly resolved yet. In this study, we directly assessed the subjective experience of two different components within the illusion (i.e., ownership and referral of touch) when a model hand and a balloon are stimulated. We observed significantly stronger illusion ratings for the hand as compared with the balloon, and only the hand ratings showed a clear affirmation of the illusion. We further conclude that (a) a significant difference between synchronous and asynchronous conditions may not be sufficient to argue for the successful induction of the illusion and (b) the subcomponents show a different pattern in the different conditions, which may lead to alternative interpretations. These observations call for a more fine-grained interpretation of questionnaire data in rubber hand illusion studies.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Business enterprises and their policies of conducting business have always been considered as debatable, and another aspect is following social and environmental regulations of jurisdictions in which companies conduct their business-either domestic enterprises or international ones. In different scenarios, companies self-regulate themselves and, in this prospect, environmental conduct cannot be adhered to properly. On the other hand, it has been observed that MNC's increasingly self-regulate their environmental conduct. Experience shows that when the MNC's or the polluting companies faced with strong environmental regulations, they move their base of operations to another country with lower (thus cheaper) standards and it affects that country massively. The same situation when it appears with a domestic company, it tries to disguise its fallacy through lack of regulations and policy within its own jurisdiction. What can be done to stop this? Indeed, there are various examples historically such as Lubbe v Cape PLC etc., and similarly, more stringent waste regulations in Europe and other industrialized nations can also help. What about stakeholders and internal management, and how do the repercussions of not adapting to the principles of corporate social responsibility?

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract This paper explores the role of co-presence in the emergence of collectives with reference to corporeal communication in online conferences and seminars. It emphasizes the importance of feelings of togetherness and demarcates them from feelings of mere affiliation. The emergence of shared feelings depends on corporeal communication, and specifically on the solidary form of corporeal communication as opposed to its antagonistic counterpart. Under online conditions, both forms tend to generate illusions, since a genuine exchange of glances, which opens up corporeal communication in the first place, is not possible. The missing exchange of glances must therefore be compensated online by imagination and the concentration on linguistic meanings.

Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractDespite prosecutors’ difficulties in proving corporate bribery, nearly all enforcement actions end with a settlement at the pretrial stage. Compared to court proceedings, settlement-based enforcement provide prosecutors with flexibility to reward offenders’ self-reporting and cooperation, and reach quicker conclusions to complex cases. In this article, we explain, such enforcement needs regulation to minimize potentially harmful side-effects. When the difference between a court and settlement sanction exceeds a certain size, the alleged offender accepts a settlement regardless of actual responsibility of misconduct. For the prosecutor, the option of offering a lenient settlement means weaker incentives to ascertain the material facts of the case. Society receives less information about the blameworthy act, little opportunity to evaluate the sanction, and less reason to expect sanctions to deter bribery. We show why such consequences result in under-deterrence of bribery and weaker rule of law. The use of settlement may have a self-escalating effect because the enforcement mode can reduce the predictability of the law, while a defendant’s inclination to accept a settlement offer depends on the predictability of the law. Our results suggest that United Kingdom’s current escalation of enforcement of corporate bribery laws will lead to a mixture of settlements and court decisions, while in the United States firms will continue to negotiate settlements as if there were no opportunity to have their cases tested in court.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Recent theories posit that physiological signals contribute to corporeal awareness, the basic feeling that one has a body (body ownership) that acts according to one’s will (body agency) and occupies a specific position (body location). Combining physiological recordings with immersive virtual reality, we found that an ecological mapping of real respiratory patterns onto a virtual body illusorily changes corporeal awareness. This new way of inducing a respiratory bodily illusion, called “embreathment,” revealed that breathing is almost as important as visual appearance for inducing body ownership and more important than any other cue for body agency. These effects were moderated by individual levels of interoception, as assessed through a standard heartbeat-counting task and a new “pneumoception” task. By showing that respiratory, visual, and spatial signals exert a specific and weighted influence on the fundamental feeling that one is an embodied agent, we pave the way for a comprehensive hierarchical model of corporeal awareness. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Our body is the only object we sense from the inside; however, it is unclear how much inner physiology contributes to the global sensation of having a body and controlling it. We combine respiration recordings with immersive virtual reality and find that making a virtual body breathe like the real body gives an illusory sense of ownership and agency over the avatar, elucidating the role of a key physiological process like breathing in corporeal awareness.

Dieser Beitrag wählt einen etwas anderen Ansatz, um auf die Bedeutung eines nachhaltigen Beschaffungsmodells für den zukünftigen Erfolg eines Unternehmens zu verweisen. Ein Funktionsbereich, der 85 Prozent der Wertschöpfung eines Unternehmens verantwortet, kann als Wegbereiter für den zukünftigen Erfolg eines Unternehmens definiert werden. Digitalisierung, Standardisierung und die Notwendigkeit, soziale sowie ökologische Standards in der Lieferkette zu implementieren, stellen Unternehmen vor fast unlösbare Herausforderungen. Wie der Einsatz eines nachhaltigen Beschaffungsprozessmodells – mit besonderem Fokus auf dem nachhaltigen Lieferantenmanagement – helfen kann, die Position des Einkaufs im Unternehmen zu festigen und dieses Spannungsfeld unterschiedlicher Trendcharakteristika aufzulösen, ist Inhalt dieses Beitrags. Dabei wird das theoretisch entwickelte Modell an einem konkreten Unternehmensbeispiel erläutert. Green Procurement plays a crucial role in enabling the future success of a company. On the other side companies still have difficulties in “greening” their supply chain, standards in sustainable supplier selection and relationship management are still missing or KPIs to measure “green success” are not in place – to name only a few challenges. This article discusses an efficient approach how to successfully implement a sustainable, strategic procurement process.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This article examines the negative aspects of digital marketing on the example of some consequences of the application and development of digital technologies in recent years. The main attention is paid to the socio-cultural component. The concept of digital marketing primarily extends to the Internet, and certainly has an impact on it. The consequences of this impact can be both positive and negative, and some of them may not appear immediately, but over time, having a gradual and cumulative nature. Today, digital marketing is no longer an innovation. This type of marketing is becoming usual and commonplace. Marketers, manufacturers and consumers are already accustomed to its positive aspects, but not everyone pays attention to its negative trends. Recognizing such trends and avoiding them is a matter of corporate social responsibility. The websites and apps have successfully invaded the traditional territory of many sectors of the “old economy”. The main negative trends of digital marketing are related to implicit cultural consequences, the transparency illusion and the illusion of control. Marketing problems of a global society are not limited to purely tactical areas, for instance, techniques for maximizing conversions, or promoting a specific product, brand or company. The systematic ignorance of the obvious effects of activity leads to the accumulation of problems, which may threaten the emergence of a crisis in a strategic perspective. If the social responsibility of marketing under certain conditions can hardly be called a competitive advantage in the context of an enterprise’s competitiveness, then in a broader, civilizational view, it is certainly an advantage.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract The European Court of Justice’s landmark decision in Centros was heralded as creating the preconditions for a vibrant market for incorporations in the EU. In practice, however, today’s corporate landscape in Europe differs little from that of the late 1990s. Very few large companies have made use of their ability to subject themselves to the company law of a Member State in which they are not also headquartered, and there are few signs suggesting that a ‘European Delaware’ will emerge in the near future. To the extent that Member States have engaged in competitive law-making, this has largely been confined to minimum capital requirements and rules affecting the ease of the incorporation process—areas concerning primarily micro-companies. We argue that the modest effect of Centros is not only a function of limited economic incentives to engage in regulatory competition and regulatory arbitrage, but also of the fact that the applicability of large sections of relevant laws governing corporate behaviour is determined by real seat-like connecting factors which render regulatory arbitrage more difficult. We analyse the boundaries between the lex societatis and neighbouring legal areas, notably insolvency and tort law, and find that the body of rules regulating a company’s outward-facing activities, as opposed to its internal affairs, is largely removed from regulatory arbitrage. It therefore seems likely that the potential benefits of selecting the applicable company law, while remaining subject to a cocktail of other, equally relevant rules, are sufficiently small to be regularly outweighed by the costs of a complex and non-standard corporate structure that is necessary to exercise free movement rights.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Marxist Internet scholars have recently shed light on the commodification and exploitation of social media users. While some of these studies have also acknowledged the ideological nature of how online sociality is understood and discussed, they have not yet addressed in great detail the ways in which ideology figures in the process of commodification of social media users. We address this question by combining Marxist ideology theory with insights from cognitive pragmatics. Focusing on the idea of illusion, we draw on Relevance Theory and employ the notions of “relevance” and “cognitive illusion” to discuss the ideological process we call context manipulation, a concept that helps bring to focus the discursive obscuring of the capitalist operational logic of social media corporations. We illustrate our cognitivepragmatic model of ideology with examples of Facebook’s discursive practices. The paper contributes to the discussion on ideology in cultural studies and the discussion on commodification of online sociality in critical Internet and media studies by offering a revised interpretation of Marx’s ideology theory that highlights the discursive and cognitive nature of ideological processes, and by elaborating on the workings of ideology in the specific context of corporate social media.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the development of the theoretical framework for corporate social responsibility (CSR) and to provide a number of conceptual considerations which can be considered in the design of measures for corporate social performance (CSP). Design/methodology/approach – This study develops a theoretical framework of CSR and provides conceptual considerations to improve the measurement of CSP. The example of Spanish savings banks is used to illustrate the complexity of the concept of CSR, which includes different dimensions and relationships. Findings – CSP evaluation can be affected by the illusion of CSR, which may result in invalid conclusions on the relationship with financial performance. This risk mainly affects those studies whose CSP measure is based on charity or philanthropic activities, as most of the time they are disconnected from core business. These activities enjoy great visibility and, in some cases, such as Spanish savings banks, they become a thick veil that can be used to hide serious deficiencies in other key aspects of CSP. Research limitations/implications – This study has implications for the literature on the conceptual and theoretical framework of CSR and the research on the link between CSP and financial performance. This paper highlights the importance of seeking comprehensive measures that cannot be misleading because of the relationships between the components of CSR. Originality/value – The paper provides a novel conceptual framework for CSR, which connects the conceptual debate around “Strategic CSR” with the theoretical framework designed by Carroll’s (1991) Pyramid of CSR and emphasizes the importance of a meticulous examination of the CSP construct before studying its relationship with financial performance.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This article argues that the governance, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the communications and environmental practices done in the name of it should all recognize that the corporation is an aesthetic phenomenon. Through logos, trademarks, websites and product advertisement CSR practices are being aesthetically projected. In turn, this misleads and influences the consumer about the corporation’s environmental performance and compliance with CSR regulations. As a result, the article argues that the aesthetic nature of a corporation must be taken into consideration when punishing dishonest corporate behavior through governance methods. The illusion a corporation can create in claiming it is “green”, can create difficulties for regulations, therefore, tackling the wrongful and misleading statements about a corporation’s products can be more beneficial than focusing on the broader aesthetic of a corporation. Social and environmental activists play a subversive role in the equation which can help with unveiling the green mask. Though history has shown that these narratives can play a limited role in re-establishment, lawful regulation can assist these narratives in forming a more rigid practice when it comes to CSR and greenwashing.

Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractThis article considers the significance of the UK Takeover Code's non-frustration prohibition. It asks to what extent the prohibition actually prevents post-bid, director-controlled defences that would not have been, in any event, either formally prohibited by UK company law without share-holder approval or practically ineffective as a result of the basic UK company law rule set. It finds that there would be minimal scope for director-deployed defences in the absence of the non-frustration prohibition, and that, in the context of UK company law, such defences have limited scope to be deployed for entrenchment purposes. Furthermore, this minimal scope for board defensive action would, in order to be compliant with a director's duties, require a pre-bid, shareholder-approved alteration to the UK's default constitutional balance of power between the board and the shareholder body to allow corporate powers to be used for defensive effect. In light of this conclusion the article looks for a rationale to justify denying shareholders the right to make this limited and potentially beneficial defensive election. It concludes that no persuasive rationale is available and that the prohibition is unnecessary and without justification.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Enron shows us dramaturgy gone amuck. In this article, critical theory and postmodern theory are crossed to form a critical dramaturgyresulting in two main contributions. First, critical dramaturgy is differentiated from other forms of dramaturgy, showing how ‘spectacle’ is accomplished through a theatrical performance that legitimates and rationalizes, and casts the public in the role of passive spectators. Second, critical dramaturgy has important connections with public relations theory. While contemporary public relations is concerned with the building of relationships, critical dramaturgy looks at how corporate theatrical image management inhibits relationships by erecting the barrier of the metaphorical proscenium. The Enron scandal is viewed as the collapse of a corporate spectacle illusion into megaspectacle fragments. These fragments include the naming of Enron, the Valhalla Rogue Traders scandal, the Gas Bank, Greenmail, Cowboy Capitalism, the Skilling–Mark rivalry, and the Masters of the Universe theme. Intertextual analysis demonstrates how these fragments contribute to the ‘Greek Mega-tragedy’ of the Enron megaspectacle. The article integrates several corporate theatre processes relevant to understanding four types of spectacle: concentrated, diffused, integrated, and megaspectacle. The value of the critical dramaturgy conceptual work is to lift the romantic veil of spectacle theatrics to reveal the antenarrative fragments of stories marginalized and backgrounded.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The article focuses on the problems of the implementation of the educational process in the University, taking into account the interests and needs of employers in the context of the transition of Russian higher education to the updated educational standards designed to take into account the requirements of applicable professional standards. The reasons of emergence of a situation, when a young specialist, sharply focused on the needs of a particular employer is unable to solve professional problems in conditions of other industrial sites and laboratories. The authors demonstrate the negative effects of the so-called «in-depth professionalization» and isolation of graduates from the competition held by the University in the interests of the particular employer. The article dwells on the preventive measures to eliminate these phenomena in the framework of «university – employer » cooperation, taking into account the individual interests of the student who is originally a full stakeholder of educational process. The term «customization» derived from marketing means fine tuning of graduates according to the specific requirements of a particular employer. The article provides a critical analysis of customization with regard to the Russian higher education in the historical aspect. The authors substantiate the need of complex customization of graduates, which implies that all University partners and stakeholders should be involved in educational process. Such complex customization may engage regional resource centers, centers of competence, centers of excellence and centers of engineering which are free from corporate interests.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The purpose of this study is to address a disconnect between women’s perceptions of their advancement potential / barriers to success in upper echelon corporate roles and their actual level of representation within such roles in companies in the S&P 500. This study involves the use of semi-structured phone interviews with 13 women in an organization in the S&P 500, who have been identified by organizational leadership as having high advancement potential. The results are evaluated using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to ensure an understanding of respondents’ experiences and perceptions in connection with their own process of meaning-making. In the findings, the participants’ responses indicate a disconnect between primarily positive perceptions on advancement opportunities for women, low levels of gender bias, and diversity initiatives and the actual outcomes regarding numbers of women in top leadership roles. Further, participants consistently espouse a strong sense of personal responsibility and a perception that barriers they encounter are self-imposed. This is consistent with an overall institutional narrative that organizational initiatives have mitigated the problem of women’s barriers to advancement in the corporate pipeline, which serves to reinforce the illusion of an equitable and effective meritocracy. By drawing on a phenomenological research design and prioritizing the experiences and perceptions of women on the edge of advancement into upper echelon corporate roles, it becomes evident that corporate narratives and diversity initiatives may be serving to reinforce, rather than ameliorate, the status quo of gender disparity in Corporate America. Both scholars and institutional stakeholders can build on the results of this study to move toward improving the corporate pipeline for women’s advancement to executive-level roles. Keywords: gender, women’s advancement, corporate pipeline, stereotypic attribution bias

Abstract:In recent years society has come to expect more from the “socially-responsible” company and the global HIV/AIDS pandemic in particular has resulted in some critics saying that the “Big Pharma” companies have not been living up to their social responsibilities. Corporate social responsibility can be understood as the socio-economic product of the organizational division of labor in complex modern society. Global poverty and poor health conditions are in the main the responsibilities of the world’s national governments and international governmental organizations, which possess society’s mandate and appropriate organizational capabilities. Private enterprises have neither the societal mandate nor the organizational capabilities to feed the poor or provide health care to the sick in their home countries or in the developing world. Nevertheless, private enterprises do have responsibilities to society that can be categorized as what they must do, what they ought do, and what they can do.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This article will explore a paradoxical dramaturgy. Last year I played Yahweh in a production entitled OT: Chronicles of the Old Testament. It was part of the 2007 Malthouse Theatre season in Melbourne, and directed by Christian Leavesley and Phil Rolfe. To embody Yahweh is to make manifest the divine, make material the ineffable, and yet allow the illusion that all is still spirit. How does one become God, if only for a moment? Well, for at least as long as the play lasts. Given the atheist fundamentalism espoused recently by Dawkins, Onfray and Hitchens, in what spirit is a corporeal critique of the pervasive power of the Old Testament, and in particular it's vengeful, wrathful, forgetful, dancing God the Father, possible?

Texte intégralRésumé :
Saiva metaphysics, guru worship, Linga worship, confluence worship, and the goal of the soul is to attain godliness. Thirumanthiram, the eighth sutra of Sivagnanabodha refers to the Saarala (Single Point) system. The perfection of the soul, the word Guru is also referred to as the remover of darkness. God will appear as a Guru. Arrogance, karma, and illusion lead to birth. It is God who prevents them. The word Shiva means purity. It is God who purifies the three unclean things. According to perfection in the souls, he will manifest himself as form, incorporeity, and corporeal. Devoted service, godly deeds, meditation, and knowledge are the paths to reaching God. The highest point of spirituality is knowledge. Gurulinga Sangama worship is the simplest way to attain enlightenment. The clergy regarded God as their guru. Gurulinga Sangama worship is a simple means for the soul to be liberated. The Lord himself has come as the Guru of Manickavasagar. He gave knowledge to the Apparadi through his sister. Guru worship is the first way for the soul to reach the end. Guru worship removes the misery of births. Linga worship is the worship of the embodied form of Linga (Here, Linga that is visible to the eyes is invisible to the mind). Confluence worship is the practice of performing worship together with the devotees. Confluence worship is the simplest way to receive god's grace. The confluence worship is explained in the 12 sutras of Thirugnanabodhar. Gurulinga Sangama worship is a state of interconnection with the Lord. When arrogance reduces, the strength of Karma and illusion also diminish. This is the basis of Gurulinga Sangama worship.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The payments industry – the business of transferring value through public and corporate infrastructures – is undergoing rapid transformation. New business models and regulatory environments disrupt more traditional fee-based strategies, and new entrants seek to displace legacy players by leveraging new mobile platforms and new sources of data. In this increasingly diversified industry landscape, start-ups and established players are attempting to embed payment in ‘social’ experience through novel technologies of accounting for trust. This imagination of the social, however, is being materialized in gated platforms for payment, accounting, and exchange. This paper explores the ambiguous politics of such experiments, specifically those, like Bitcoin or the on-demand sharing economy, that delineate an economic imaginary of ‘just us’ – a closed and closely guarded community of peers operating under the illusion that there are no mediating institutions undergirding that community. This provokes questions about the intersection of payment and publics. Payment innovators’ attenuated understanding of the social may, we suggest, evacuate the nitty-gritty of politics.

“A vision without a strategy remains an illusion.”~ Lee BolmanEffective strategies and proper planning are the key instruments to achieve our goals. Strategic planning is important to any organisation because it provides a sense of direction and outlines measurable goals. This tool is useful for taking decisive measures and evaluating progress. Hence, sketching proper strategies for successful business development and career growth is very important. In the Corporate World, communication is one of the essential building blocks of success for a Company and hence planning strategies for enhancing Business Communication is very essential for the growth of the business. Effective business communication is how employees and management interact among each other to reach organizational goals and be more aligned with the core company values. Its main purpose is to improve organizational practices, keep employees informed and reduce errors. Enhancing business communication is very important as it develops the Company as a whole and throws light on various scopes of achieving success. Public Speaking Skills and Networking Skills are the two most important weapons for Business Communication and Corporate Development. Sketching effective public relations and networking strategies is, therefore, very essential and will help in the growth of one’s career. In this paper, various PR and Networking Strategies have been discussed, which aims at enhancing Business Communication and hence will lead to effective business development and career growth.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Generally, any discussion on corporate governance partly revolves around transparency and accountability and fiscal discipline. The emphasis on transparency and accountability provides the baseline for defining fiscal responsibility and the enforcement of fiscal discipline. Fiscal responsibility and fiscal discipline are political and legal constructs that promote democracy, economic growth, sustainable development and nation building in transitional economies. The near absence of these values especially during the military interregnum in Nigeria created development inertia in the process of governance and social illusions in the relationship between government and the governed. With the rebirth of democratic values in 1999, it became obvious that the context of resource governance must be changed to make way for the attainment of sustainable development through democratic ambitions. Therewith, the federal government carried out some measures of fiscal reforms with a view to stimulating the mechanics of public sector governance and institutional performance. The paper examined the extent to which these reform measures have improved the culture of resources governance within the context of the systemic challenges that confronts Nigeria. From its analysis, the paper concluded that the inherent contradiction in the implementation of fiscal responsibility reforms in Nigeria arises from the inability of Nigerians to generate good ethical relationship with the reform objectives given the antecedent of gross corruption. The paper advocated the sustained re-orientation of Nigerians as a basis for creating the ethical foundation for the promotion and enforcement of fiscal discipline in the public sector.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has called for a global re-negotiation of a social contract between investment banking and wider society. Given the scale of the losses now borne by the taxpayer as a consequence of the global financial crisis in jurisdictions as diverse as Iceland, the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States, the proposal has undoubted rhetorical strength. It is also exceptionally difficult to render operational, not least because of (purposive) ambiguity over what constitutes and who should decide terms of reference. Moreover, piecemeal change may not only not secure legitimacy but may also have enormous if unintended consequences for the conceptual underpinning of corporate and securities law and the resulting regulatory framework. At a national level, one mechanism proposed to address this issue is through the establishment of a 'truth commission' an option chosen by Iceland. A second option is to convene an independent commission, a mechanism used throughout the Commonwealth, or an independent tribunal of inquiry, as used with increased frequency in the Republic of Ireland throughout the 1990s but rejected in relation to the global financial crisis. A third option is to convene a bi-partisan political commission, as deployed in the United States. Each option is exceptionally problematic within the domestic context, not least because of contention over remit and degree to which the findings translate into policy changes. The difficulties are compounded when applied to multi-faceted multi-jurisdictional problems such as the global financial crisis. This article examines whether – and if so how – independent commissions can provide a mechanism to re-negotiate a social and corporate contract capable of external validation and replication, critical factors for the maintenance of legitimacy, or whether official discourse simply reinforces the politics of illusion, privileging symbolic posturing over substantive change.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a granulated governance perspective to face sustainability risks and challenges that our planet is facing. The authors argue that sustainability challenges should be addressed simultaneously at the individual, organizational, sectorial, national and supranational level. Financial institutions have a systemic impact on the economy, and on the functioning of our societies. Therefore, a culture of profit maximization and unbridled risk-taking, notwithstanding the external costs and impacts, contaminates not only the financial system and the economy, but also individual norms of responsibility. In this line of reasoning, the global financial crisis revealed the destabilizing effects on the economy, society and corporations and forms a serious impediment for sustainable business. This is a huge challenge for sustainability business and corporate governance; however, it is an illusion to think that managers can prevent scandals and moral norm deterioration without support from other social players. Design/methodology/approach – This paper offers a conceptual analysis on the past financial crisis (2008-2012). It questions the focus on sustainability at the corporate level, and suggests a more comprehensive method for governance. The authors argue in favour of sustainability implementation, combining different governance levels. Findings – The double-dip financial crisis 2008-2012 showed the failure of an unsustainable global system. It becomes clear that corporate responsibility and corporate governance are limited in their contribution to sustainable business in a sustainable economy. Hence, it is important to have a more integrated approach to address sustainability risks, with a solution at individual, sectorial, national and supranational governance levels. Research limitations/implications – This contribution advances five different levels of governance to mitigate risks for sustainable business, arguing in favour of integrated governance for sustainability risks. However, an empirical validation of these ideas still needs to be developed. Future empirical research is needed to validate the five levels of governance. Future research is also needed to better grasp the mechanisms in support of governance. Practical implications – Corporate responsibility and corporate governance are necessary but not sufficient conditions to address the sustainability risks one faces. All actors in the economy recognize that governance for sustainable business in a sustainable economy is a collaborative effort for which neither legislative nor institutional or behavioural norms are developed in an integrated way. They should also recognize that integrated governance is not only imperative for the common good, but also in the direct interest of shareholders and other stakeholders. Originality/value – This paper contributes to the literature on corporate responsibility and corporate governance with the identification of specific roles for regulators, sector representatives and individuals, which are complementary to the role of the companies in creating the conditions for sustainable business in a sustainable economy.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Slow, gentle stimulation of hairy skin is generally accompanied by hedonic sensations. This phenomenon, also known as (positive) affective touch, is likely to be the basis of affiliative interactions with conspecifics by promoting inter-individual bindings. Previous studies on healthy humans have demonstrated that affective touch can remarkably impact behavior. For instance, by administering the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) paradigm, the embodiment of a fake hand enhances after a slow, affective touch compared to a fast, neutral touch. However, results coming from this area are not univocal. In addition, there are no clues in the existing literature on the relationship between affective touch and the space around our body. To overcome these lacks, we carried out two separate experiments where participants underwent a RHI paradigm (Experiment 1) and a Visuo-Tactile Interaction task (Experiment 2), designed to tap into body representation and peripersonal space processing, respectively. In both experiments, an affective touch (CT-optimal, 3 cm/s) and neutral touch (CT-suboptimal, 18 cm/s) were delivered by the experimenter on the dorsal side of participants’ hand through a “skin to skin” contact. In Experiment 1, we did not find any modulation of body representation—not at behavioral nor at a physiological level—by affective touch. In Experiment 2, no visuo-tactile spatial modulation emerged depending upon the pleasantness of the touch received. These null findings are interpreted in the light of the current scientific context where the real nature of affective touch is often misguided, and they offer the possibility to pave the way for understanding the real effects of affective touch on body/space representation.

CSR has been a neglected area and was considered as an exercise which the corporates with multinational calibre can afford as a brand building mechanism. But corporate with high illusion has been doing CSR and were contributing to the society and serving the people with an ambition to bridge the gap between the ‘have’ and ‘have not’ and ensure them a minimum benchmark level of living conditions. But today, the outlook of CSR has been changed drastically and has become the major management tool which decide the organizations growth, profitability and even its existence. On the other side, Government is giving high priority to CSR and made it mandatory in India.India is at a tipping point, both in terms of economic growth and in the human development of its more than one billion citizens.In order to ensure national development and growth in the economy, the major job will be to find solution for the major economic issues in India, like poor per capita income, massive dependence of population on agriculture, heavy population pressure, the existence of unemployment and underemployment, slow enhancement in rate of capital formation, disparity in wealth distribution, deprived quality of human capital & low level of technology.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Niger Delta region of Nigeria is a home to many multinational oil companies with different packages of corporate social responsibility (CSR) because of its huge natural resource reserve especially of oil and gas. The CSR packages are designed to address social, economic and environmental concerns of the indigenes of the Niger Delta region, arising from the oil and gas operations of the multinational oil companies. The operational activities of the oil companies over the years have led to the degradation of the Niger Delta environment with consequent loss of livelihood sources, thereby triggering protests and other violent activities in the region. The paper identified and analysed the indices of the components of the CSR (social, economic and environmental components) packages using results-based management framework to determine the impacts of the CSR projects and programmes on the people. The analysis revealed that multinational oil companies release funds from a philanthropic perspective for the execution of some social development projects/programmes, but these projects/programmes do not address the welfare and livelihood needs of the people. This means that the multinational oil companies operating in the region create an illusion of compliance with social development and responsibility rules. The paper linked these unfortunate situations (environmental degradation, insecurity, poverty, unemployment, etc) found in the region today to failure of CSR implementation due to corruption, insincerity and philanthropic approach of the oil companies and regard it as injustice to the people of Niger Delta. It therefore concluded that CSR implementation in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria is a myth and as a result recommended that Multinational oil companies should therefore incorporate the people of the Niger Delta into the oil economy by enlisting household heads into the payroll system of the multinational oil companies as well as engage sincerely in projects that will lead to the development of the region, if protests and other violent activities in the region must stop.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In order to give full play to the role of field research of legal psychology institutional investors in promoting enterprise environmental governance, this article puts forward the research on how legal Psychology institutional investors affect the corporate governance environment. Taking the listed companies in the A-share heavy pollution industry of Shenzhen Stock Exchange from 2018 to 2021 as a sample, this article tests the impact and action mechanism of legal Psychology institutional investors’ field research on corporate environmental governance. Hypothesis 1: the field research of legal Psychology institutional investors can promote the environmental governance of enterprises. Hypothesis 2: for enterprises with poor environmental information disclosure, the impact of field research of legal Psychology institutional investors on enterprise environmental governance is more obvious. Hypothesis 3: for enterprises with more concentrated distribution, the impact of field research of legal Psychology institutional investors on enterprise environmental governance is more obvious. Leadership power has the three attributes of management, social psychology, and law, and its essence is the socialization of legal psychology. Under the perspective of legal psychology, the psychological mechanism of leadership power is mainly manifested in three aspects: increasing the social distance, activating the approach system, and inducing the control illusion. The cumulative number of field investigations conducted by the enterprise in the current year +1 is adopted, and the logarithm is taken as the measurement index of the field investigation of legal Psychology institutional investors, which is expressed by Investigate. In the robustness test part, the virtual variables are set by whether the enterprise is investigated in the field in that year. The results show that in uncontrolled years and industries, the regression coefficients of legal Psychology institutional investor investigation and enterprise environmental protection capital investment are 0.0703 and 0.2416, respectively, which are significant at the level of 5%. After controlling the year and industry, the regression results show that the field investigation of legal Psychology institutional investors and enterprise environmental capital investment are still positive, significantly at the level of 5% and 1%, respectively. The environmental capital investment of enterprises with poor environmental information disclosure (0.479 and 1.161) is higher than that of enterprises with good environmental information disclosure (0.252 and 0.618), and the mean t-test maintains the significance level of 1%, indicating that the impact of field research on enterprise environmental governance is more obvious in enterprises with poor environmental information disclosure, which preliminarily verifies Hypothesis 2 of this article. Similarly, when the distribution of enterprises is more concentrated, the environmental capital investment of enterprises is 0.536 and 1.286, which is higher than that of enterprises with a more dispersed distribution (0.315 and 0.778) and maintains a significant level of 1%. The results show that obtaining environmental information is helpful for stakeholders to supervise enterprise environmental governance. Therefore, we should formulate and issue policies and regulations that require enterprises to disclose environmental information as soon as possible, improve the standards of environmental information disclosure, establish an enterprise environmental information disclosure platform, and improve the level and quality of environmental information disclosure.

In the current development of visual videography technology, especially in the creation of music video content, new media are developing very rapidly, one of which is video projection (Projection Mapping). apart from the screen. Video Mapping is one of the newest video projection techniques used to convert almost any surface into a dynamic video display. The purpose of video mapping is to create the physical illusion of an image by combining visual elements. Most of the mapping projects are used in fashion shows, corporate events, concerts, and theater performances and can be an asset in artistic music videos. This research explains how to implement video projection into an artistic asset. Then displayed in public spaces to reach a wider audience. This paper will focus on the aspect of video mapping with the technical aspects of developing the concept of the Musik Video Kotak Band project entitled Wings of Garuda by using visual elements of applying visual video mapping in music videos to convey visual messages in video projections on the faces of the band members of the Kotak band. visual delivery in projection mapping creates artistic innovation in music video visuals to minimize the number of production teams in music video projects and messages in video projection visuals can convey their messages, the visuals will be perfected in the editing process to achieve the desired contrast so that video projections on the face more visible detail.

Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractThe global justice movement reveals a diverse array of emergent publics striving politically for a sustainable world. Working partly from John Dewey, we try to illuminate democratic grounds for knowledge and action in these endeavors. We begin by situating Dewey's ideas in the politics of American history, especially historian John Diggins' countervailing approach to issues of authority, knowledge and opinion. Diggins, against Robert Westbrook and others, contends that Dewey's philosophy of politics chased radical democratic illusions, whereas he might have learned from Charles S. Peirce to uphold the boundary between professional communities and other entities including democratic publics. Dewey saw no democratic alternative to harness the political energy of ordinary people. We argue that Dewey had come to understand that a corporate state system of political economy had come to engulf both the liberal democratic polity and the professions. Dewey's political challenge to the professions and his illumination of the aesthetic ecology of democratic publics prefigure a democratic republican alternative that opens up a new basis for participation in the global justice movement confronting, among other obstacles, a transnational corporate state based in the USA.A Marxist-progressivist notion of the ongoing socialization of markets by corporate capitalism too often reinforces an anti-Populist intellectual sensibility that is coupled with, whether wittingly or not, either a social-democratic elitism or a revolutionary vanguardism. Globalization struggles need, on the contrary, a pragmatic vision of democratic publics instituting a true diversity of policies assuring a world-in-common. The fight for public spaces in the treacherous politics of civil society and global consumerism is a struggle against subjectivization. The fact that corporate state elitism, in the U.S. context, feeds on a rightist version of nationalism does not mean we can junk the history of democratic struggle for a republican alternative to imperialism. By and large, neo-liberal policies "from above" have aggravated various types of inequality and the militaristic turn pursued by some elites compounds not only negative side effects but critical opportunities. Democratic action in and from the United States has to be clear about both place-based forms of life and expanding forms of solidarity in global struggles for democracy and the commons.Our reading of Dewey is strengthened by research that highlights his ecological ontology and its key role in his democratic theory. We argue that globalizing knowledge regimes and their products, such as deforestation, re-institute destructive dualisms that would be transformed by a Deweyan approach that energizes democratic forms of agency and policy. Dewey's essay on "Time and Individuality" is explicated to disclose the radical democratic implications of Deweyan science. We show further that this approach, as a field science and ecological stewardship, provides public alternatives to violence, whether primarily "social" or "environmental". A Deweyan logic of particularity casts in contrasting relief our historical epoch's dominant logic of fungibility, the fetishization of global economic space, and its looming costs. The reclamation and reconstruction of democratic publics are long overdue and requires new regimes of participatory and place-based knowledge opening on the global commons for sustainable life.

Texte intégralRésumé :
According to a 2011 news release by the company, "Shiseido is focusing on expanding sales in emerging markets with the aim of becoming 'a global player representing Asia with its origins in Japan'."[1] The cosmopolitan image of the company overlaying its Japanese identity lends itself to intriguing prewar parallels and debates over cultures representing both East and West. As noted by Frank Dikötter in his study of early Republican Era (1912-1949) Chinese material culture: "The endless circulation, domestication and recycling of objects with the advent of the global economy has frequently offended the guardians of cultural barriers: the notion of 'hybridity' has been used to perpetuate the illusion of 'authenticity'."[2] This hybrid "Empire of Beauty" rather than purely Japanese idea of beauty unveiled in Russia, along with Shiseidô's new Asian focus, are in fact much older business concepts dating back to the early 20th century. Not surprisingly, like other Japanese companies in the 1930s, Shiseidô also began its advent into emerging markets in the prewar period, where the progress of cosmetic penetration into northeast Asia paralleled imperial Japan's military intrusions.In addition, Shiseidô’s unique modernist visual culture sold images of an empire of beauty, where women consumers on the continent helped support an emerging politics of national identity in their product choices. The company's intersection of modernist advertising and national propaganda reveals the multifaceted interests of organizations like Shiseidô involved in marketing the Japanese empire and its appealing modernity.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore how notions of disciplinary power manifest themselves in audit regulatory developments. When it comes to research on the relationship between audit quality and regulation, much of the prior scholarly work has kept to the positivist tradition of quantitative analysis under the guise of “economic rationality”. In contrast, this research takes an interpretive approach to provide an alternate and unique perspective, using motifs of Foucauldian power and control to illuminate the operation of external regulation in a South African setting. The paper examines what may be loosely described as a mandatory whistle-blowing duty imposed on external auditors. Design/methodology/approach – Detailed interviews with some of South Africa's leading corporate governance experts are used to highlight the disciplinary effect of an auditor's duty to bring reportable irregularities to the attention of an independent regulator. Findings – Blowing the whistle on irregularities contributes, not only to increasing the information made available to stakeholders, but to creating a valid expectation of auditors serving the public interest by enhancing a sense of transparency and accountability. Elements of resistance to panoptic-like control are, however, also present suggesting that, in part, the regulation may simply be creating the illusion of active reporting. Research limitations/implications – The research relies on a relatively small sample of subject experts and does not provide a complete account of regulatory developments taking place in South Africa and abroad. Additional research on the role of whistle-blowing in an external audit setting is needed focusing particularly on similarities and variations in interpretations of reporting by auditors from the perspective of more diverse stakeholder groups. Practical/implications – Mandatory reporting of irregularities by auditors can provided additional useful information for stakeholders and may contribute to demands for more effective reporting by auditors. Social implications – Arms-length regulation of the audit profession should not be seen only as a means of improving audit quality and the utility of audit reports. Powerful social forces are also. This research demonstrates how laws and regulations have a potential disciplinary effect on the audit profession that contributes to a restoration of confidence in the audit process after it is best by scandals, even if motifs of power and control are somewhat illusionary. Originality/value – This research addresses the need for more detailed analysis of precisely how mechanisms of accountability and transparency operate in the broader corporate governance arena. The paper also contributes to the calls for more detailed, context-specific studies of audit. Finally, this paper is one of the first to employ a critical theoretical perspective on audit in an African setting, responding to the need for contextual, methodological and theoretical eclecticism in the area of corporate governance research.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The article is devoted to modern comics, which are considered as a kind of “laboratory” for experiments in the field of visual narratives, focusing on the construction and dynamics of their spatial-temporal continuum. The entire perceptual “space” of comics is significative (Fresnault-Derruelle); all elements of this space constitute the narrative. It is not only about the “space” of a book or a magazine; contemporary comics are intensely exploring new media, a key feature of which is interactivity. The article examines both the “classic” way of presenting visual material (comics in the form of book, “codex”), and the web-comics, which are similar to scrolls in their form, and have a new (compared to books) potential for interactivity. The article provides a systematic comparison of the ways of chronotope organizing in comics and screen arts (cinema, video art, media projects, etc.), and draws an analogy between the behavioral models of a comic book reader and a gamer going through the plot of a video game. One of the main theses of the article is the following: even though there are significant differences between the formats of comic books and web comics, there is a basic commonality in the nature of their impact on the reader. The images on the pages of comics and the spacings between them create an illusion of time through the mechanism of “closure” (S. McCloud). Therefore, the real interaction between space and time is possible only with an active participation of the viewers who add their corporeality to this equation, matching it with the visual and textual register. In this way, in the process of the “assembling” perception of comics, the corporeal and the intellectual merge.

<p class="R-AbstractKeywords"><span lang="EN-US">Android is the most popular mobile operating system nowadays both for smartphones and tablets. This fact creates many not fully recognized risks. Often even advanced users naive think that using antivirus software, firewall, encryption, updates, as well as avoiding potentially risky sites and applications are enough for security. This list is not full, but nevertheless each its item in most cases only conceals an illusion of reaching the security. Authors have summarized and pointed out several actual Android security issues and have proposed a number of possible solutions.</span></p><p class="R-AbstractKeywords"><span lang="EN-US">The practical experience as well as direct testing show that part of Android applications may contain a malware. The harmful characteristics of an application often become visible only after some runs, or after an update, or after a harmful web content is downloaded and shown by the application. It is observed that applications often try to get an unauthorized or inattentively authorized access to user data and send it outside the device. </span></p><p class="R-AbstractKeywords"><span lang="EN-US">The situation with Android applications gets more and more out of the control. The authors propose a solution to overcome the security issues, while respecting the latest Google solutions. Target group of the proposal are users that use smartphone or tablet both for private and corporate needs, i.e. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) case.</span></p><p class="R-AbstractKeywords"><span lang="EN-US">The authors point out and compare four possible Android technical administration solutions based on the unified model for BYOD case. The authors also propose the changes to Android architecture to enhance its security. It is proposed to look at the mobile operating system as a web server. Such principle allows implementing in Android a number of security principles taken from the web servers solutions.</span></p>
