Corporate governance as a tool supporting management during a crisis

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to show that the code of good practice and the recommendations concerning CG – corporate governance in listed companies, through increased transparency, can be a tool supporting management in the period of crisis. Design/methodology/approach: The article is based on a critical analysis of the literature, mainly in the field of corporate governance, current press publications, as well as an analysis of secondary data of listed companies in the period June-September 2021. Findings: The considerations presented in this paper show that CG can be perceived as a tool supporting management, especially in times of crisis which will enable the company to have better transparency. The principles contained in the code of good practice will serve as recommendations for companies in the CG area. Research limitations/implications: The pilot study performed among all listed companies showed high compliance with companies with regard to the completion of the declaration on the use of CG in the light of the amended guidelines in 2021. Practical implications: The presented considerations are partly theoretical but are supplemented with the results of the analysis of the actual activities of entities in the area of governance during the crisis. They can be useful in practice for managers of various enterprises because they present the tools of CG that can be effectively used to improve the functioning of a company in a crisis. Social implications: Presenting governance in this light may raise greater interest in the concept. Its application in practice may have multifaceted beneficial social, economic, and even environmental consequences. Originality/value: The study shows a specific approach to the issues of CG. It is not only a well-perceived code of good practice but above all a tool supporting management and recommending solutions to companies in a specific time of crisis. The paper fills the cognitive gap in the studied area.

The Role of Comparative Law in Political Science

Abstract Comparing laws cross-nationally elucidates how they restrain political and societal actors and how actors may use law instrumentally to reach their goals. The Article analyzes the extant use of comparative law in political science and describes areas where a more in-depth comparative study of law may enhance understandings of how law shapes politics, particularly in the areas of governance, judicial behavior, rights protection, and democratic transitions and breakdowns. For meaningful use of comparative law in the study of politics, scholars must use causal research designs for cross-country analysis and rigorously choose cases for more detailed within-country qualitative analyses. Understanding how laws vary cross-nationally and what differences matter has the potential to shape theories and explanations of the explosive and sometimes subtle political changes witnessed in the twenty-first century.

Fullerowski paradygmat (nie)dobrego prawa i jego aktualność „hic et nunc”

The subject of the article is Fuller’s concept of the (not) good law paradigm defined by three notions: “internal morality of law,” “natural law of a formal nature,” and “formal rule of law” — in the perspective of its application in the current legal order of the Republic of Poland. The discourse was conducted in two stages: on a general, theoretical, and axiological levels as well as on a detailed, practical, and praxeological ones.
 The epistemological level with its retrospective view bears resemblance of two models: bad law and good law. The first, encapsulated in literary legal fiction, describes eight cases (anti-values) of King Rex’s legislative failures. King Rex is monarch with authoritarian and conservative traits who excludes the system of government based on the proportional cohabitation of three powers — legislative, executive, and judicative — in favour of anocracy, which is a hybrid regime “suspended” between democracy and authoritarianism. The second is a remedy in the form of axiological contours, postulates (values) of good law: generality, promulgation, prospectivity, clarity, non-contradiction, reality, stability, and compliance. These principles of the formal rule of law, contained in the concept of “soft” jusnaturalism, are a specific professional and ethical code for the public authority which constitutes, executes, and applies the law.
 The practical-cognitive level refers to subjectively selected examples of abusing the good lawstandard in the Polish legal and administrative order. It shows the omnipotent and simultaneously dysfunctional executive power in the area of governance and administration, aimed at a radical reconstruction of the social and legal system.

Shouldering His Guru’s Legacy: Khenpo Tsultrim Lodro’s Discourse in Relation to thos-bsam-sgom after the Death of Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok

This article contributes to the growing discussion of the ways that Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok’s legacy has been carried forward by his spiritual successors at the Larung Five Sciences Buddhist Academy (or Larung Gar), in contemporary Eastern Tibet, by focusing on the contribution of the Larung vice principal and leading second-generation luminary, Khenpo Tsultrim Lodro (1962–). Drawing on a range of Khenpo Tsultrim Lodro’s spoken teachings and writings over a twenty-year period, this article undertakes a contextualised analysis of how he has shouldered his guru’s legacy in the areas of Tibetan Buddhist monastic education, monastic governance, and monastic–lay relations. It explores how the threefold framework of thos-bsam-sgom (listening, reflecting, meditating), whether in its parts or its entirety, lies at the centre of his reformist discourse in these matters, articulated in relation to a wide range of Buddhist and secular concepts, as well as to concrete institutions and organisational structures. It is argued that, while Khenpo Tsultrim Lodro expounds the entire framework of thos-bsam-sgom throughout the years in question, in ‘the earlier period’ (c.2000–2012), from shortly before his guru’s death until approximately a decade afterwards, he subtly privileges the intellectual attributes associated with thos-bsam, while in ‘the later period’ (c.2013–2021) he reweights his exposition to give a balanced emphasis to the practice of sgom.

Circular economy and environmental disclosure in sustainability reports: Empirical evidence in cosmetic companies

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the content and quality of circular economy (CE) and environmental information (CEEI) disclosure in sustainability reports. Additionally, it provides suggestions for heightening CEEI disclosure. Using the content analysis, we analysed the changes that took place after the European Union (EU) action plan (2015) selecting a sample of sustainable reports in the cosmetic industry in Italy in 2014 and 2019 years. We applied the Climate Disclosure Standard Board (CDSB) framework focused on 12 reporting requirements designed to encourage corporate standardized disclosure of environmental information. Our analysis is performed through a frequency term analysis. Additionally, to measure the general shift of semantic over the two years towards CEEI, a semi‐supervised topic modelling approach was applied, whose topics were obtained by aggregating all terms with a significant variation from the content analysis. Findings show that the recent reports (2019) include terms related to the environment in a slightly more frequent way compared to 2014. We provide stronger evidence of the shift in the origin of the topics, being coherent with the changes introduced from the EU 2015 act, and the requirements of the CDSB framework nevertheless the CE seems still under‐reported in the area of governance, strategy, management and performance. The paper discusses the need for further Institutional (EU directives), regulatory (CDSB framework) and stakeholders' pressure (on companies. Finally, the implementation of an integrated reporting for social, economic and environmental disclosure is suggested as a way to ensure an effective CEEI disclosure.

Relationship Between Executive Education and Governance: Studies of Brazilian Business Groups

This theoretical and practical discussion intends to connect the formation of human capital of major Brazilian agents with investments in executive education based on demands from the areas of Corporate Governance and Tax. To this end, a literature review of the aforementioned themes was carried out, highlighting historical and contemporary aspects, relating them to the efforts of the companies studied: Petrobras, Braskem and OAS. In addition to the documentary research, semi-structured interviews were carried out with 22 executives from the aforementioned companies in order to reinforce knowledge about the phenomenon of governance, its consequences and consequences in shared services organizations. The text is structured in an introduction, discussion and theory segmented by study area and applied with notes from each business group and conclusions. The scientific contribution lies in strengthening the relationship between what is discussed in the academy and what is done in the market, intensifying the need for corporate education for business results.

Exploration on Landscape Reconstruction Design of Old Residential Communities Embedded with Green Technology Based on Smoke-Free Environment: Regarding Shangdatianwan Central District in Yuzhong District of Chongqing a Case

A smoke-free environment is crucial to the health of low-income, marginalized and vulnerable groups in the wake of COVID-19 and extreme weather. Low-income vulnerable groups mostly live in old residential areas, where the quality of living environment is poor. Ground buildings lack fire protection and smokeless facilities, and ground, rain and sewage pipes are mixed, posing serious safety and health risks. However, urban reconstruction and restoration often pay attention to the smoke-free environment, underground pipe network facilities and green and intelligent application of new residential areas, while ignoring the implantation of smoke-free environment, environmental protection and energy saving sustainable technology measures in the reconstruction of old residential areas. The old residential areas are the last link in the implementation of smoke-free policy and the most vulnerable areas of urban governance. Urban renewal design implanting smoke-free environment and green technology into urban fabric can improve its resilience and quality of living environment. Based on this, taking Shangdayanwan Central District, Yuzhong District of Chongqing, a typical mountain city, as an example, the reconstruction and design of the old residential area with green technology embedded in smoke-free environment was carried out, and the technical mechanism was explored, providing reference for urban renewal design to reduce pollution, prevent disasters and improve the ecological conservation of human settlements.

UGC's responses to the pandemic: roles of Institutional Quality Assurance Cells in Bangladesh

PurposeThe paper documents the roles played by the institutional quality assurance cells (IQACs) to implement the University Grants Commission (UGC) directive to shift to online education during the COVID-19 pandemic period in Bangladesh. It highlights the government's efforts to ensure quality education, particularly in utilizing IQACs in the various public and private universities. The paper starts with the pandemic situation in the country, followed by the overall responses of the government, including its directives regarding the conduct of higher education.Design/methodology/approachThe paper utilizes as framework the Sloan Consortium's Five Pillars of Quality Online Learning – learning effectiveness, student satisfaction, teacher satisfaction, scale and access. The paper then analyzes the oral reports of 26 IQACs, which were presented to government officials in two meetings.FindingsFrom the analysis, it is apparent that IQACs have contributed toward the shift to full online education during the pandemic period. Universities responded to the crisis mainly in the areas of governance, teaching and learning and student support services. To guide policy formulation, the IQACs (with the help of other university units) conducted surveys among their faculty and students regarding their access to Internet, financial difficulties and mental health situation. From here, they drafted academic policies (attendance, student assessment and online teaching), conducted capacity building activities, monitored faculty performance, formulated guidelines on student online behavior and encouraged stakeholders to trust the online system.Originality/valueThe study is original since (like many countries) the pandemic has forced education activities to go online. It looks at both the macro level (the concerns of the University Grants Commission or UGC concerning quality education in an online setting) and the micro level (what universities have undertaken to address the concerns of the UGC).

Governing the COVID-19 response

The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that effective leadership and strong governance are essential for resilience in the face of a shock to the health system. Even though adequate financing of health systems, and ensuring that they have an adequate workforce, physical infrastructure and material supplies can bolster health system resilience, resilience is not merely a function of hard resources but also of soft factors, including capacities of leaders, strengths of institutions, and societal values and culture. Indeed, countries that topped the Global Health Security Index (GHSI), an index that focuses on measuring technical preparedness for epidemics and pandemics, in 2019 were among those that performed the worst during the COVID-19 crisis, as measured in deaths or damage to the economy. A country's initial governance capacity, at the onset of the pandemic, shaped its ability to respond. For example, countries with effective leaders, strong institutions and higher levels of societal trust were often better positioned to respond adequately. But government capacity and trust could change over the course of the response. For example, deliberative decision making that is inclusive, transparent, and accountable, coupled with effective public engagement, can build legitimacy and support for difficult decisions. In the longer term, it can contribute to building trust and improving policy making. This presentation will provide an overview of the strategies that countries-mainly in Europe but also with examples from other regions-have implemented to achieve effective leadership and decision making, coordination, generation and use of information in COVID-19 response decisions. A brief overview of key metrics to assess resilience in the area of governance will also be provided.

African Regional and Inter-Regional Health Governance: Early Responses to the Covid-19 Pandemic by ECOWAS and the African Union

ABSTRACT The Covid-19 pandemic brings back to the fore traditions of interconnected health governance in Africa, both at regional and inter-regional levels. Using the early pandemic responses of ECOWAS and the African Union as empirical case studies, we reconstruct (1) how already established regional actors in managing pandemics, such as the West African Health Organization (WAHO), are (2) now interacting with a newly established continental institution, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), established in response to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa (2014–2016). This is bolstered by policy responses coordinated by the African Union Chairperson and (3) forms of inter-regional pandemic governance that are being developed between ECOWAS and the African Union. Against this backdrop, we briefly develop a more conceptual argument on the relevance and nature of inter-regional cooperation between the African Union and ECOWAS. First, when compared to other world regions, interlocking forms of regionalism have allowed many African governments to respond to Covid-19 early on. In view of poorly equipped national health systems, and an array of other demanding challenges, early responses have at least bought affected states time to prepare national health systems, start mutual learning and organize international assistance – despite all shortcomings that still exist. Second, regional crisis response has been an opportunity to (re)negotiate the division of labor between the African Union and ECOWAS, which has been already ongoing in the area of governance, peace and security.

How does governance mediate links between ecosystem services and poverty alleviation? Results from a systematic mapping and thematic synthesis of literature

Many efforts to improve the sustainable management of renewable natural resources in low- and middle-income countries seek to achieve ‘win-win’ outcomes – improved ecosystem health and improved livelihoods. Yet achieving such win–win outcomes is challenging, since many variables affect the potential for synergies. These variables include the quality and performance of governance. We conducted a systematic mapping of the literature and a thematic synthesis to identify how governance mediates relationships between ecosystem services and poverty alleviation. The systematic mapping focused on identifying which components of governance are studied and how much attention each geographic region and natural resource has received. We found that the literature is ‘clumped’, with some governance components, geographic areas and sectors studied well, and others poorly. The thematic synthesis drew on 191 papers and found very little literature that looked at the three areas of governance, ecosystem health/services and poverty alleviation/livelihoods together in detail, with little evidence of interdisciplinary investigation. Much of the research instead focuses on either governance itself or governance and livelihoods or governance and ecosystem health/services. Three key analytical themes were identified in response to the research question, which are that: locally owned and inclusive governance increases the potential for ecosystem services to deliver on improved livelihoods; there are often multiple governance structures and systems in place making causality difficult to trace, though such multiplicity creates opportunities for improved governance, ecosystem health and livelihoods as well as challenges; and, appropriate and adequate incentives are needed for governance to mediate positive links between ecosystem services and poverty alleviation.

History, overview, and governance of environmental monitoring in the oil sands region of Alberta, Canada.

Over the past decades, concerns regarding the local and cumulative impacts of oil sands development have been increasing. These concerns reflect the industry's emissions, land disturbance, water use, and the resulting impacts to Indigenous Rights. Effective environmental management is essential to address and ultimately manage these concerns. A series of ambient regional monitoring programs in the oil sands region (OSR) have struggled with scope and governance. In the last 10 years, monitoring has evolved from a regulatory‐driven exercise implemented by industry into a focused, collaborative, multistakeholder program that attempts to integrate rigorous science from a multitude of disciplines and ways of knowing. Monitoring in the region continues to grapple with leadership, governance, data management, scope, and effective analysis and reporting. This special series, “A Decade of Research and Monitoring in the Oil Sands Region of Alberta, Canada,” provides a series of critical reviews that synthesize 10 years of published monitoring results to identify patterns of consistent ecological responses or effects, significant gaps in knowledge, and recommendations for improved monitoring, assessment, and management of the region. The special series considered over 300 peer‐reviewed papers and represents the first integrated critical review of the published literature from the region. This introductory paper of the series introduces the history of ambient environmental monitoring in the OSR and discusses historic and ongoing challenges with the environmental monitoring effort. While significant progress has been made in areas of governance, expanded geographical scope, and inclusion of Indigenous communities in monitoring in the region, significant issues remain regarding a lack of integrated reporting on environmental conditions, public access to data, and continuity of monitoring efforts over time.

The Philippines in 2020: Exposed Deficiencies and Aggravated Backsliding in a Year of Crises

Abstract While the COVID-19 pandemic presented itself as a global challenge that greatly hampered progress everywhere, its combination with other national emergencies and political developments in the country made 2020 a year of crises for the Philippines. The year of crises presented itself as a litmus test for the effectiveness of Rodrigo Duterte’s populist leadership and for the resilience of Philippine democracy. It was a year of reckoning that unmasked the government’s misplaced priorities and exposed systemic deficiencies in various areas of governance. Likewise, the year of crises also provided an effective rationale for greater executive aggrandizement, aggravating the continued trend of democratic backsliding since 2016. This year-end review outlines how the government has managed the year of crises, and how its responses led to these two thematic developments that define 2020 for the Philippines. The essay provides local contextualization in terms of how democratic backsliding is aggravated by situations of crises, and how these crises unmask systemic deficiencies in weak democracies such as the Philippines.

The logics of insurgency in the Bangsamoro

ABSTRACT Over sixty years of conflict in the Southern Philippines, between the government and separatist groups, have made Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago an area prone to violence. Armed groups in Bangsamoro and their historical antecedents have often local origins. Even the original rebellion of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) from which the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) emerged, the largest rebel force in the area and current leader of a transition government in the Bangsamoro, was a coalition of armed elements across Mindanao that organized together before becoming a stronger united front. The following article will describe the evolution of the armed rebellion in Mindanao and analyse its subsequent trajectory, proposing four reinforcing lenses to understand the various Moro insurgencies and explain local splintering and contradictions within the rebel movement.

Effect of Corporate Governance Mechanisms on Value Relevance of EPS and BV: Evidence from the Indian Tourism Industry

This paper examines corporate governance's effect on the valuation of Earnings per Share (EPS) and Book Value (BV).Differently from empirical previous studies in the area of corporate governance and value relevance of EPS and BV, this study investigates this impact within a unique setting of publicly listed tourism firms Using panel data from a selection of some Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) listed companies from 2013 to 2015. The paper explored three aspects of the mechanisms of corporate governance: the board of directors (size, composition and diligence), the audit committee (size, composition and diligence) and foreign ownership .The study uses descriptive statistics, correlation and multi-regression model to analyse the influence of corporate governance on the value relevance of EPS and BV for the Indian tourism industry. The results show that the interaction between corporate governance mechanisms and value relevance of BV has more impact on the share prices than EPS. It is recommended that the Indian tourism industry should pay more focus to corporate governance mechanisms in order to improve its value relevance of EPS, BV and share prices.

Is Performance-Based Budgeting Only a Mirage?

The aim of this paper is to describe reality of performance-based budgeting in Indonesia. Bureaucratic reform still becomes important issue in the government area, especially in developing countries, including Indonesia. One part in bureaucratic reform is the change in government budgeting system. In many countries, this case seems to be imposed, thus the implementation is inappropriate to its truly concept. Critical theories become paradigm used in this paper. Critical theory of Habermas selected as methodology in achieving goal towards the writing of this paper, because Habermas’s thought is very suitable to the issue raised in this paper, which is consensus path that replaces revolution path as offered by Marx. The importance of interaction emphasized on Habermas’s thought becomes basic of analysis due to the interaction or communication based on norm, inter-subjective, demanding role internalization, demanding maintenance of social institution, and action in order to achieve understanding. Performance-based budgeting that should become solution in achieving people welfare still not optimally implemented yet. Physically, the resulted budget has been in performance-based budgeting; however, in fact, indicators of budgeting benefit to the fulfillment of public service still ignored. The incremental system, planning that not based on performance, budget inefficiency to the useless expenditure for public, high political interference, also less budgeting control keep involved in regional budgeting in Indonesia. Contradiction between politics and budgeting culture that implemented recently is obstacle for maximal implementation of performance-based budgeting system. This is the reason why the implementation of performance-based budgeting system in developing countries, including Indonesia, cannot be the same with developed countries. There are many research opportunities that can be followed up from this paper such as study about budgeting culture using ethnography perspective and in-depth research about philosophical aspect from performance-based budgeting ideology with state ideology.

Пріоритетні напрями діяльності органів місцевого самоврядування в контексті підвищення ефективності оцінки майна територіальних громад

Abstract. Introduction. The property management system in general, and the land use system in particular, in Ukraine, are currently undergoing a process of change. The development of a market system of relations promotes the establishment of cooperation between public authorities and territorial communities, and the sphere of community property management is one of the most promising areas for the development of this cooperation. However, the achievement of significant positive effects in the development of this area is possible only if some property management tools are improved - and also is the mechanism of property assessment of territorial communities. Purpose. It has been given the state of development of the mechanism of assessment of state property, the purpose of this article is to study the priority areas of local government in the context of improving the effectiveness of assessment. Results. In the process of analyzing the current situation in the field of municipal property management, based on the work of V. Alekseev, the author concludes that there are significant problems in the control of state property, which needs to take a number of steps, including increasing the frequency of use and evaluation property. A detailed analysis of a number of basic concepts of the real estate management process at the local level are the purpose, main goals, objectives of management. The various aspects and characteristics of real estate that affect its value are considered. Based on the preliminary data, the main activities of local governments in the context of improving the efficiency of property assessment of territorial communities have been identified. The mechanism of property valuation for calculating the rental rate and market value of real estate and their importance in the context of improving the property management system is analyzed. A number of recommendations are given to local communities to improve the property management system through the use of property valuation. Conclusions. The process of property valuation in today's community property management system is imperfect and requires a number of changes to improve its efficiency. Achieving results in this matter is possible only if the interaction between the state and society through compromise.
