Board Dynamics - Philip Stiles - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Board Dynamics - Philip Stiles - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Boards of directors are at the apex of organisational decision-making and so are central in ensuring effective corporate governance. But boards are under increasing scrutiny due to the continuing prevalence of scandals and failures. Boards have been viewed as set up to fail because the demands placed upon them cannot effectively be delivered. In this Element, I examine this tension and look at the board as a working group, one which has an input, a process and an output. Through looking at the board as a group, the dynamics of how boards, and the potential for effective and ineffective operation, are highlighted. I conclude with outlining how the future of board dynamics may evolve.

Outsourcing the Board - Stephen M. Bainbridge - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Outsourcing the Board - Stephen M. Bainbridge - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In this groundbreaking work, Stephen M. Bainbridge and M. Todd Henderson change the conversation about corporate governance by examining the origins, roles, and performance of boards with a simple question in mind: why does the law require governance to be delivered through individual board members? While tracing the development of boards from quasi-political bodies through the current ''monitoring'' role, the authors find the reasons for this requirement to be wanting. Instead, they propose that corporations be permitted to hire other business associations - known as ''Board Service Providers'' or BSPs - to provide governance services. Just as corporations hire law firms, accounting firms, and consulting firms, so too should they be permitted to hire governance firms, a small change that will dramatically increase board accountability and enable governance to be delivered more efficiently. Outsourcing the Board should be read by academics, policymakers, and those within the corporations that will benefit from this change.

Corporate Governance and Leadership - Ljiljana Erakovic - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Corporate Governance and Leadership - Ljiljana Erakovic - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This Element deals with leadership and governance of corporations from the point of view of the board. We expand our understanding of board leadership by focusing on the modern company as a legal person comprised of a capital fund and the relationships among directors, shareholders, management and stakeholders. We propose a model which integrates insights from the fields of leadership and corporate governance and establishes a theoretical link illustrated by empirical findings in three intersections: team leadership on the board, the chair''s leadership of the board, and strategic leadership by the board. We maintain this integrative model provides a powerful means to further an understanding of the board as the nexus of leadership and governance. We close this Element by identifying the new research directions that our integrative model opens up. We also identify the implications for practice for those who either serve on boards or provide support to them.

Lone Wolf Race Warriors and White Genocide - Mattias Gardell - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Lone Wolf Race Warriors and White Genocide - Mattias Gardell - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

When Brenton Tarrant live-streamed his massacre of fifty-one Muslims in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March 2019, he was but one in a series of lone-acting white men committing violent crime to further the radical white nationalist aim to save the white race from extinction and establish a white ethnostate. From where did white nationalists get the notion of an ongoing white genocide? Why should ''resistance'' against a perceived invasion of ''white'' territory be launched by individual ''lone wolves'' massacring noncombatants they have no prior relation to? How could slaughtering children be construed as a heroic act that a perpetrator wants to broadcast to the world? Based on a unique collection of interviews with lone wolves, their victims, and their supporters, and a close reading of lone wolf, fascist, and radical nationalist material and communication, this Element provides solid answers to these and adjacent questions of importance.

White Kids - Mary Bucholtz - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

White Kids - Mary Bucholtz - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In White Kids, Mary Bucholtz investigates how white teenagers use language to display identities based on race and youth culture. Focusing on three youth styles - preppies, hip hop fans, and nerds - Bucholtz shows how white youth use a wealth of linguistic resources, from social labels to slang, from Valley Girl speech to African American English, to position themselves in the school''s racialized social order. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a multiracial urban California high school, the book also demonstrates how European American teenagers talk about race when discussing interracial friendship and difference, narrating racialized fear and conflict, and negotiating their own ethnoracial classification. The first book to use techniques of linguistic analysis to examine the construction of diverse white identities, it will be welcomed by researchers and students in linguistics, anthropology, ethnic studies and education.

Changing White Attitudes toward Black Political Leadership - Zoltan L. Hajnal - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Changing White Attitudes toward Black Political Leadership - Zoltan L. Hajnal - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book is an examination of how experience under black mayors affects the racial attitudes of individual whites and the willingness of white voters to support black candidates. It uses public opinion surveys, data on voting patterns in large American cities, and case studies to show that black representation can profoundly alter white views and white votes.

Changing White Attitudes toward Black Political Leadership - Zoltan L. Hajnal - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Despite the hopes of the civil rights movement, researchers have found that the election of African Americans to office has not greatly improved the well-being of the black community. By shifting the focus to the white community, this book shows that black representation can have a profound impact. Utilizing national public opinion surveys, data on voting patterns in large American cities, and in-depth studies of Los Angeles and Chicago, Zoltan Hajnal demonstrates that under most black mayors there is real, positive change in the white vote and in the racial attitudes of white residents. This change occurs because black incumbency provides concrete information that disproves the fears and expectations of many white residents. These findings not only highlight the importance of black representation; they also demonstrate the critical role that information can play in racial politics to the point where black representation can profoundly alter white views and white votes.
