Corporate Governance Regulation The changing roles and responsibilities of boards of directors

Corporate governance regulation has been through numerous cycles of reform and yet we still see instances of companies collapsing suddenly. Codes of corporate governance have been implemented in most developed countries recommending detailed governance frameworks for publicly listed companies and their boards but our understanding of how these codes influence behaviour is still limited. In this book Alice Klettner draws on the domains of law and business to explore the effectiveness of corporate governance codes. Using interview evidence from company directors and officers as well as published evidence of companies’ corporate governance systems she discusses the theory and practice of corporate governance and its regulation – with a focus on how corporate governance codes can affect board behaviour and company performance. This interdisciplinary book will be valuable reading for advanced students and researchers of corporate governance and will also be directly relevant to governance practitioners and policymakers. | Corporate Governance Regulation The changing roles and responsibilities of boards of directors

Social Revolt in Chile Triggering Factors and Possible Outcomes

This book investigates why Chile suddenly confronted a violent social revolt in October 2019 after almost thirty years of political stability during which time the country was broadly regarded as Latin America’s most successful nation. Since democratic restoration in 1990 Chile’s relatively high levels of political stability increasing prosperity and social modernisation have stood out in a region shaken by political convulsion and economic malaise. In early October 2019 President Sebastián Piñera confidently claimed that Chile represented a true ‘oasis’ of political stability and economic vitality in Latin America. However just weeks later the announcement of a small increase in the price of Santiago’s underground transport system unleashed an unprecedented wave of violent anti-government protests in the country with protestors ultimately demanding Piñera’s resignation and the end of neoliberalism and the 1980 Constitution among many other demands. This book analyses the causes of Chile’s socio-political upheaval arguing that the fast social and economic modernisation produced by the neoliberal system led to a series of destabilising socio-political processes in the country. At a time when much analysis of the October uprising tends to be superficial or polarised on ideological grounds this book provides a much-needed sociological and institutional analysis of the crisis. It will be an important read for scholars of Latin American politics and development as well as those with a broader interest in state legitimacy social movements and political contestation against neoliberalism. | Social Revolt in Chile Triggering Factors and Possible Outcomes

Making Data Work Enabling Digital Transformation Empowering People and Advancing Organisational Success

In this book Edosa explores common challenges which limit the value that organisations can get from data. What makes his book unique is that he also tackles one of the unspoken barriers to data adoption—fear. Fear of the unknown fear of the intangible fear of the investment needed and yes fear of losing your job to a machine. With his talent for distilling clarity from complexity Edosa tackles this and many other challenges. —Tim Carmichael Chief Data Officer Chalhoub Group This book offers fresh insight about how to solve the interactional frictions that hamper the flow of data information and knowledge across organisations. Yet rather than being stuck with endless polarising debates such as breaking down silos it shifts focus back towards the ultimate to what end. —Jacky Wright Chief Digital Officer (CDO) Microsoft US If you care about AI transformation empowering people or advancing organisational success in an increasingly digital world then you should read this book. —Yomi Ibosiola Chief Data and Analytics Officer Union Bank A retail giant already struggling due to the Covid-19 pandemic was faced with a disastrous situation when—at the end of a critical investment in an artificial intelligence project that had been meant to save money—it suddenly discovered that its implementation was likely to leave it worse off. An entire critical service stream within an insurer’s production system crashed. This critical failure resulted in the detentions of fully insured motorists for allegedly not carrying required insurance. Making Data Work details these two scenarios as well as others illustrating the consequences that arise when organizations do not know how to make data work properly. It is a journey to determine what to do to make data work for ourselves and for our organisations. It is a journey to discover how to bring it all together so organisations can enable digital transformation empower people and advance organisational success. It is the journey to a world where data and technology finally live up to the hype and deliver better human outcomes where artificial intelligence can move us from reacting to situations to predicting future occurrences and enabling desirable possibilities. | Making Data Work Enabling Digital Transformation Empowering People and Advancing Organisational Success
