Limits to asset manager adaptation

AbstractIn Our Lives in Their Portfolios, Brett Christophers provides an account of the rise of ‘asset manager society’ – a world in which the infrastructures of public life are converted from public to private ownership. Here I use Christophers’ analysis to comment on growing calls for asset manager investment in climate adaptation. The asset manager business model requires ever-escalating returns, a poor fit with the now unavoidable losses that climate change promises to bring.

A Machine Learning-Based Forecast Model for Career Planning in Human Resource Management: A Case Study of the Turkish Post Corporation

In sustainable and competitive business management, it is crucial for organizations to consider organizational change and transformational leadership in human resource (HR) management to adapt to the changes in their environment. This capability enables large-scale enterprises to maintain their presence in an increasingly competitive environment through enhanced management capacity. Enterprises that adopt transformational leadership in HR management must equip leadership candidates with competencies such as creating a shared vision, providing appropriate role models, encouraging the adoption of group goals, meeting high performance expectations, and providing individual support and the development of intellectual stimulation. By identifying potential leadership candidates using a decision support model, the necessary competencies can be developed through in-service training and experiential learning during their careers. Innovative and effective approaches to identifying leadership candidates can be developed by analyzing complex big data using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. In this article, a forecast model using machine learning (ML) algorithms for a human resource management career planning approach was developed for the Turkish Post Corporation (PTT) and it was tested to predict potential leadership candidates by analyzing the big data of 5000 employees. The Turkish Post Corporation ML algorithms were applied to 100 randomly selected data points using the k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN), Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting (GB), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms to predict the types of titles held by the staff employed at PTT. The kNN, GB, RF, and SVM algorithms achieved accuracy rates of 96%, 91%, 73%, and 41%, respectively. The case study results indicate that promotion decisions in large-scale and rooted enterprises can be effectively modeled using big data and ML algorithms, highlighting significant potential for HR management and leadership development practices in the public sector.

Formal and Substantive Coherence of Accounting Items Used for Management Purposes: Option or Necessity?

The formal and substantive coherence of the accounting items in the documents based on which managers' decisions are made identifies a necessary element for decision-making to be based on data that allow the best decisions to be made so that the effect of the company's efficiency is maximized and planned objectives are achieved. However, this coherence is not the only one that must distinguish the company. Coherence between planned and actual actions,coherence between what is verbally, even informally, illustrated and what is carried out at the operational level, coherence between company contracts entered into with workers and company behaviour implemented toward them, coherence between what is indicated in sustainability reporting and the actions carried out by the company in favour of the environment, character in terms of the activities carried out by management and the actions carried out by workers hierarchically subordinate to those managers, are examples of coherence that is in addition to the need for formal and substantive coherence within the items used in the integrated information system. Coherence must permeate every company area: organizational, logistical, accounting, production, commercial, etc. The absence of coherence, even in only one business area, can cause serious harm to business management which, is characterized by gaps and inconsistencies, will not be able to be carried out in a thoroughly efficient and effective manner and, consequently, will not be able to allow the achievement of the company's income, financial and equity objectives planned in the strategic plan and annual budget.

The present and future of micro, small, and medium enterprises from a holistic perspective

The study of micro, small, and medium enterprises (msmes) reveals a significant het-erogeneity in approaches, reflected in multiple perspectives such as social, administra-tive, economic, among others. This diversity has driven the application of a wide range of techniques and methodologies, from qualitative research to quantitative studies. Research on msmes in a post-pandemic scenario is multidisciplinary and adaptable to the complexities of the sector, enriching our current and future understanding of these enterprises. Furthermore, the global perspective of business internationalization stands out in a context of value chain integration and nearshoring, while local issues such as family business management and support for social enterprises are also crucial for their development. This duality highlights the need for ongoing dialogue among different academic studies on msmes to effectively address the challenges and oppor-tunities in this constantly evolving sector.

The management of values based on a resource approach allows the leader to improve the economic indicators of the organization at the expense of personal resources of employees (through their involvement, identification of personal values with values of the organization) without the use of additional financial incentives and penalties.
