Board Directors, Financial Derivatives, and Corporate Governance: The Case of Vietnam
By Tran Thi Lien. 2022
This book gives readers a look inside the boardrooms and directors’ minds—a desirable but highly challenging task for researchers due to…
the lack of access to top teams in organizations. This book breaks through that barrier with a mixed-methods investigation of boardrooms in the emerging country of Vietnam particularly on the topic of financial derivatives. Directors are the leading players within the corporate governance framework. The general effectiveness of the board depends on their roles, processes and competencies. Given the scandals marring the history of the financial industry, this book aims to tackle the question of whether board directors have the financial acumen required to handle the tricky instruments of financial derivatives through interviews with board directors and analysis of their organizations. Providing a managerial perspective of financial derivatives, this distinguishes itself from more popular financial engineering books and would be a useful read for government officials, board directors, training organizations and scholars, particularly in Vietnam.OCR GCSE (9-1) Economics: Second Edition

Der Druck im Nacken, auch…
zu denen an der Spitze zu gehören, die schlaflosen Nächte, wenn man merkt, dass das Innovationsbestreben wieder mal vertagt worden ist, weil es, oberflächlich betrachtet, nicht drängt. Die Angst, dass man eines Morgens aufwacht, der Markt gekippt ist und man von heute auf morgen von einem 10 Personen Start-up aus einer Garage in Wanne Eickel überholt worden ist. Dieses Buch hilft, aus einer anderen Perspektive auf das Thema Innovation zu blicken - und zwar auf allen Hierachieebenen und aus Sicht verschiedener Bereiche, in denen Innovationen eine Rolle spielen. Es beleuchtet, woran Innovation immer noch und immer wieder scheitert, obwohl alle notwendigen Techniken und Budgets aufgefahren wurden. Lena Lührmann zeigt, was auf Bauch- und Kopfebene, zwischenmenschlich und haptisch passiert, wenn Menschen an Innovation denken oder sich damit befassen. Sie möchte so das Bewusstsein bei Führungskräften und Entscheidern in Unternehmen dafür wecken, was ihre Mitarbeiter in Sachen Innovation leisten oder auch nicht. Nur wenn die Leser sich selbst und ihr Unternehmen in dieser Hinsicht verstehen, werden sie in der Lage sein, aus allen wirklich großartigen Techniken die für sie passende herauszufinden. Anhand vieler "Aha-Momente" werden sie die im Buch beschriebenen Problematiken aus der Praxis in ihrem eigenen Unternehmen identifizieren und angehen können. Ziel soll sein: - Innovationsfähigkeitslevel beurteilen, - Innovationchancen erkennen, - Innovation mitmachen, - Innovation beurteilen, - Innovation leben, ganz natürlich aus dem Selbstverständnis des Unternehmens heraus. Jedes Kapitel umfasst drei Aspekte, um sich dem Thema zu nähern: Key Aussagen, Fakten und Lösungen, persönliche Erlebnisse der Autorin.Productive Economy, Contributory Economy: Governance Tools for the Third Millennium
