Book Description
The theme of the book is NEWS every day - due to Globalisation, INTERNET and a lack of ability to reform - and due to fact that platforms of power and adjacent positions are at stake. This is a fact whether it concerns a Corporation, a Nation - or an International Body for Relief and Development supposed to serve a higher end. Two women and two men met to address ethics and enterprise. It became a Voyage for Continuity and resulted in the writing of a trilogy. This book follows up a trilogy: "Voyage for Continuity - the Altruistic Gene." It explains the need of "pro-active guardians of pluralism"; namely, the elected and thereby legitimate persons in vital positions on bodies of governance like a Senate, a Commission and a Supervisory Board. The Challenge of altruistic senators / independent commissioners / outside directors is to serve- and to assure (even the Adversaries of Pluralism): *Transparency and Enlightenment / Fair Play and Separation of the Roles; *Institutional Development and free Access to adequate Public Basic Infrastructure; *Gender Equality; *Protection of the Positive- and the Negative Rights of the Citizen *Proper Representation of the Needs- and the Interests of the Atomist. There must be Protection of the elected "Pro-Active Guardians of Pluralism" - whether the Adversaries of Pluralism like it - or not. Progress of the above factors can build Public Trust - and prevent that the Main Parties at play (each- and everyone) will cater for themselves. The Majority of Mankind fears Obscurantism and its Consequences. Obscurantism = the "holding back" in self-interest - can be found everywhere. This book focuses on the Role of an Outside Director in a Legal Entity or aPublic Infrastructure Activity, but the same professional standards apply to the elected Independent Commissioner and the elected Altruistic Senator - they are "Pro-active Guardians of Pluralism." The book is a commemoration of a female professional, who died alone and unprotected, because she became a risk to a multi-role corporate powerhouse with something sinister to hide. They could not let her witness - she would not let herself become a hostage and an accomplice to their scam. Stances for Pluralism, Transparency and Enlightenment need Protection, since the individual Director / Commissioner / Senator is a visible and simple Target for the diverse, powerful "Obscurantists" (French = the Partisans of Obscurantism) - and if so, then we / you / I are also at risk - or we are all losing indirectly... The book sketches a roadmap to healthier democracies, which are robust enough to let populism, fundamentalism and extremism play their tunes subject to no violation of the rights of innocent bystanders, potential- and existing followers. It advocates dialogue, but not the illusion of one consensus based on the leading sentences of central player(s) - for the benefit of a hidden agenda or pure self-interest. The roadmap contains parallel, reinforcing initiatives for reform and improvement of International Movements (like the religious ones) and Intl. Organizations, like United Nations and its Network of Member Nations - as well as of Unions of Nations, like the EU. It is a model of thought for pluralism and transparency, inspired by democratic values. The Goal and the final Test: The Say of the Electorate shall prevail, when Election-day is over. It shall do so by means of fit and properRepresentation and pro-active Protection of the Atomist ( = an individual without influence alone).

Book Description
Pascal Engel investigates how outside directors are incentivized in family firms that are publicly listed but still partly owned by members of the founding family. Owning families significantly influence their firms' corporate conduct with their own set of goals, sometimes in conflict with economically driven goals of the capital markets. The author analyzes how family shareholders exert their influence on compensation schemes of outside directors who have the difficult task to protect the interests of family and non-family shareholders. This book provides insights on current approaches of defining a compensation scheme that attracts qualified outside directors but concurrently reflects respective shareholders' preferences.

Book Description
The impact of the economic downturn and the increase in financial scandals emerging from major corporations has generated a growing interest in governance issues and has emphasized the need for companies to be transparent in their dealings with shareholders and the markets. Although the issues in Asia are fundamentally similar to those in the rest of the world, there are some crucial differences in the way in which Asian corporations acknowledge and confront these issues and in the political and legal frameworks under which they operate. Using examples of good and bad governance, Roche analyzes if the Asian approach to governance issues is unique. Business and finance students, as well as executives with an interest in Asian business or corporate governance will find this an authoritative and insightful guide to this complex and important topic.

Book Description
Dan Bavly takes a fresh look at how business is supervised and how that system can be improved. He begins by assessing the performance of the government regulator and suggests reasons for the failure to prevent many of the debacles of the recent past. New fiascoes often engender a spate of legislation, but the regulator remains the one who gets away—he is simply not accountable and does not shoulder the blame. Clearly, a new definition of regulator responsibility is required. Drawing on his years of company board and auditing experience, Bavly analyzes why the average director cannot do his job, and he shows how a complete, but feasible, overhaul of the way company boards function can help solve this problem. Bavly then goes on to explore, as an insider, the profession of accounting and to show why the CPA should be considered an endangered species. Along the way, Bavly examines many of the difficult issues of contemporary ac counting: Where is the trend of mammoth accounting organizations leading? Is the addiction to mergers suicidal? How is the accounting profession coping with technology? What is the relationship between the outside CPA and the corporate internal audit division? For each specific flaw in the system, Bavly provides a practical remedy. The general message is the need for constant reassessment and, perhaps, a plea to cut all the agencies of corporate governance back to human proportions.
