Review From Psychopaths to Responsible Corporations: Waking Up the Inner Sleeping Beauty of Companies / Nova Science Publishers:The purpose of this book is to show how companies can derive responsible actions from the inner values shared by all people - including the personnel of these companies, whether small or multinational enterprises - and from non-defensive communication with all stakeholders in any part of the world. Companies do not have to behave like psychopathic, borderline or neurotic personalities. Such unhealthy organisational behaviour derives from psychological defences companies use to deny, excuse or justify their irresponsible actions. Continuous defending makes life for corporations and their members very stressful. It is a great relief to them, when they are allowed to act responsibly, admit irresponsible episodes, repair the wrong done, and reorient towards future challenges. Responsible behaviour requires that corporate values, words, and actions should be in line. This book shows different ways of matching these three levels, and suggests that the most natural corporate responsibility is achieved through matching virtue ethical values shared by people all over the world, concessive discourses leading to sublimations, and actions that simultaneously take account of ecological, socio-cultural and economic responsibilities. Psychologists, philosophers and religious leaders can counsel companies striving for responsibility, and Carl Gustav Jung bridges their attempts with his ideas.

Review Long-Term Leasing -- Accounting, Evaluation, Consequences / Quorum Books:Leasing is by far the most important source of finance for various types of assets needed by firms, but this may cause problems. Among them are the decisions to buy or lease and the accounting decisions to capitalize or expense. Riahi-Belkaoui addresses both problems by examining the models and standards used both for management of and accounting for leases. In five chapters Riahi-Belkaoui covers the issues involved in leasing and financing decision models and offers a decision format to reconcile disagreements among various approaches to the lease-or-buy analysis. He examines all the techniques proposed for accounting for long-term leases as formulated by the Statement of Accounting Standards No. 13 and then looks at specific issues. In his final chapter, a unique contribution to the literature on leasing, Riahi-Belkaoui explores the economics of buying. This is a valuable resource for financial accountants, decision makers, and researchers interested in the management of leases.

Review Corporate Power and Responsibility: Issues in the Theory of Company Law (Clarendon Paperbacks) / Oxford University Press, USA:In this important new study John Parkinson rejects the theory that the "internal affairs" of corporate organizations should be insulated from regulatory intervention and argues that a function of company law is to promote the public interest. He examines a number of topical and controversial issues from this perspective including the separation of ownership and control, corporate governance, and the role of markets in controlling management behavior. The book also explores the protection of interests largely ignored by company law such as those of employees and the local community and suggests new areas for reform.
