{"title":"CSR and CSI Drivers: Are CEO Founders More Ethical than Common Shareholders and Should Company Responsibility Be Divided","authors":"Mathieu Ouellette","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2957994","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2957994","url":null,"abstract":"This paper explores key drivers of what makes a company more prone to exercise corporate social responsibility (CSR) and avoid corporate social irresponsibility. We examine key relationships between company age, size and whether the founding CEO is still in power. We hypothesize that CSR decreases as a company ages and grows with time and that founding CEOs are more prone to practice Corporate Social Responsibility and to avoid Corporate Social Irresponsibility. This paper will test our hypotheses, shine light and hopefully, evoke further research on how CEO and firm characteristics effect Corporate Social Responsibility and Irresponsibility.","PeriodicalId":208100,"journal":{"name":"CGN: General (Corporate) (Topic)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124464321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Value creation is critically tied to how well management develops and maintains a knowledge-building culture. These ideas are plainly communicated in this PowerPoint presentation which summarizes my book, Value Creation Thinking. The presentation is well suited for classroom discussion and includes an explanation of the life-cycle valuation model, which is used extensively by money management firms worldwide. Also included are long-term, life-cycle charts of major firms that illustrate how managerial skill and competition interact to determine firms' long-term financial performance and, ultimately, shareholder returns.","PeriodicalId":208100,"journal":{"name":"CGN: General (Corporate) (Topic)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134618723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Governing the Business Enterprise: Ownership, Institutions, Society","authors":"Y. Biondi","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1440889","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1440889","url":null,"abstract":"For those concerned with nature and role of the business firm in economy and society, these are challenging times. Past and ongoing financial crises and scandals have focused attention on the system of regulation, governance and disclosure in a way many may never have imagined and few welcomed. Those shortcomings relate to the primacy of shareholder value that frames and shapes the received system. Not only do reforms appear to be necessary to protect shareholders as well as other stakeholders, but also a different understanding of the relationship between the Share Exchange and the business firm. This paper introduces the proceedings of the EAEPE international conference at the CNAM (Paris, on 22 and 23 May 2008). From different disciplines and perspectives, all the featured authors will critically discuss the received system and look for a more comprehensive approach integrating accounting, economics, and law of the business enterprise.","PeriodicalId":208100,"journal":{"name":"CGN: General (Corporate) (Topic)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131485462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
