Corporate Power and Regulation: Consumers and the Environment in the European Union (International Series on Public Policy)
by Sandra Eckert“A novel, insightful and provocative foray into the abilities, capacities and limits of corporate power on the one hand and public power and capacities on the other hand. Eckert offers new and refine insights on core issues in the theories of public and private interest regulation.”—David Levi Faur, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel“This impressive book breaks important ground in the regulatory governance literature by bringing in a fresh corporate perspective. Based on a set of fascinating case studies of European regulation, Eckert compellingly unpacks key facets of corporate power. A must-read for regulation scholars who often neglect the targets of regulation!”—Burkard Eberlein, York University, Canada“This book offers systematic and empirically fascinating insights into the regulatory power of corporations which unfolds outside the traditional political arenas. Its policy effects have important implications for the target groups of regulation, the general public, and the democratic political process as such. The conceptualization and use of rich empirical sources make for a compelling read.”—Adrienne Héritier, European University Institute, ItalyThis book takes a fresh look at corporate power in the regulatory process. It examines how corporations seek to prevent, shape, make or revoke regulation. The central argument is that in doing so, corporations utilise distinct power resources as experts, innovators and operators. By re-emphasising the proactive role of business, the book complements our acquired knowledge of policymakers’ capacity to put pressure on, or delegate power to private actors. Empirically, the book covers European consumer and environmental policies, and conducts case studies on the chemical, paper, home appliance, ICT and electricity industries. A separate chapter is dedicated to the assumption that Brexit will lead to an unprecedented result of EU regulation being lifted, and how this could put corporate power in regulation at risk. This book provides a new perspective on the policy implications of corporate power to scholars, students and practitioners alike.
Corporate Power in Civil Society
by David SciulliThe corporate mega-mergers of the 1980s and 1990s raise many troubling questions for social scientists and legal scholars. Do corporate globalism and the new, streamlined corporation help or hinder the development of civil society? Does the new power that increasingly deregulated businesses wield undermine the rights of citizens, or is this threat being exaggerated? Who has the authority to get things done in a corporation's name and who can be held legally responsible for a corporation's misbehavior? What role, if any, should the courts play in strengthening the rights of individuals who challenge the actions of big business? David Sciulli maps the legal limits of corporate power in our democratic society, and explores the role of the corporate judiciary in creating public policy. He argues that the judiciary must be more vigilant and act to curb corporate abuses. He demonstrates that when corporations exercise their private power in civil society, they are just as capable as the state of exercising it in ways that are dangerous, arbitrary, and challenge the basic institutional arrangements of society. Finally, Sciulli calls for sociologists to involve themselves more deeply in issues of corporate governance and commit their discipline to influencing the decisions of the courts.
Corporate Power, Oligopolies, and the Crisis of the State
by Luis Suarez-VillaThe largest, wealthiest corporations have gained unprecedented power and influence in contemporary life. From cradle to grave the decisions made by these entities have an enormous impact on how we live and work, what we eat, our physical and psychological health, what we know or believe, whom we elect, and how we deal with one another and with the natural world around us. At the same time, government seems ever more subservient to the power of these oligopolies, providing numerous forms of corporate welfare—tax breaks, subsidies, guarantees, and bailouts—while neglecting the most basic needs of the population. In Corporate Power, Oligopolies, and the Crisis of the State, Luis Suarez-Villa employs a multidisciplinary perspective to provide unprecedented documentation of a growing crisis of governance, marked by a massive transfer of risk from the private sector to the state, skyrocketing debt, great inequality and economic insecurity, along with an alignment of the interests of politicians and a new, minuscule but immensely wealthy and influential corporate elite. Thanks to this dysfunctional environment, Suarez-Villa argues, stagnation and a vanishing public trust have become the hallmarks of our time.

Corporate Profit and Nuclear Safety: Strategy at Northeast Utilities in the 1990s
by Paul W. MacAvoy Jean W. RosenthalNortheast Utilities Company adopted an ambitious new competitive strategy in the mid-1980s, seeking to become the low-cost supplier in New England electric power markets bracing for deregulation. Given its high-cost nuclear facilities, doing so required a corporate turnaround. For a decade Northeast faced increasing public and employee resistance to cost cutting at its nuclear plants. Though management achieved many of its goals, curtailing outlays on nuclear operations meant high risk that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would close the plants because of frequent, prolonged outages. This is just what happened in 1996. Did management's deliberate cost-containment strategy take nuclear operations to an inevitable regulatory shutdown, and if so, why? Was it the pursuit of executive compensation tied to cost containment that caused undue risk of regulatory shutdown? Paul MacAvoy and Jean Rosenthal describe ten years of corporate performance preceding the shutdown, detailing aggressive executive decisions, mounting regulatory actions in response to increasingly severe operational failures, and--at the same time--overall improvement in corporate earnings, stock prices, and executive pay packages. They relate the complexities of managing declining nuclear plant operations under ever more pressing budgetary targets. Their discussion of the increasing risk of outages raises the issue of the tradeoff of profit and conservative management of hazard operations. All the more timely in light of the massive 2003 East Coast blackout, Corporate Profit and Nuclear Safety represents a powerful and cautionary commentary on industrial practices that goes to the heart of effective corporate governance.

Corporate Psychopathy: Studienergebnisse, Herausforderungen und die Rolle der Internen Kommunikation im Umgang mit der Dunklen Triade in Unternehmen
by Annett Bergk Romy Frandrup Christopher MoraschIn diesem Buch gehen Kommunikationsexpert*innen aus Theorie und Praxis der Frage nach, wie „psychopathisch“ es in den heutigen Führungsebenen zugeht. Seit mehr als 20 Jahren ist der Begriff der „Dunklen Triade“ aus psychologischer und medizinischer Forschung bekannt und begegnet uns seitdem regelmäßig in den Medien, die über die Verbreitung dieses Dreiklangs aus Narzissmus, Machiavellismus und Psychopathie in den Führungsetagen und Vorstandszimmern der Welt berichten. Dieses Fachbuch richtet sich an Menschen, die in Teams arbeiten, selbst als Führungskräfte im Einsatz sind oder sich mit der Optimierung von Teamwork beschäftigen. Es soll aufzeigen, wie Personen mit psychopathischen, machiavellistischen oder narzisstischen Tendenzen in Unternehmen agieren, welche Effekte sie auf das Team haben und wie verschiedene Situationen kommunikativ verbessert werden können.. Es wird ein Forschungsüberblick zu narzisstischen, machiavellistischen und psychopathischen Führungskräften in der Arbeitswelt gegeben und vorgestellt, wie Corporate Psychopaths in den Medien dargestellt werden. Ein Beitrag geht der Frage nach, warum Führungskräfte manchmal vielleicht auch narzisstisch wirken müssen. In einem umfangreichen Beitrag werden die Unterschiede psychopathischer Persönlichkeitszüge zwischen Manager*innen und Menschen ohne Führungsverantwortung analysiert und dargelegt, was es bei der Besetzung von Managementpositionen zu berücksichtigen gilt. Mehrere Beiträge beschäftigten sich mit der besonderen Rolle der Internen Kommunikation: Wie kann die Interne Kommunikation schwierige Unternehmenspersönlichkeiten erkennen und welches Wissen braucht sie für einen erfolgreichen Umfang mit diesen? Es wird gezeigt, wie es gelingen kann, die negativen Effekte von Corporate Psychopathy einzudämmen und die Chancen der Personalauswahl bei der Identifikation von Corporate Psychopaths werden eingeordnet.
Corporate Public Affairs: Interacting with Interest Groups, Media, and Government
by Otto LerbingerCorporate Public Affairs explores the increasing interest in public affairs by today's organizations. Lerbinger indicates that more and more frequently corporations are establishing public affairs positions--typically within public relations departments--to respond to issues and concerns arising out of the sociopolitical environment in which the corporation functions. He articulates the functions and responsibilities of the public affairs role, and investigates the approaches to dealing with primary constituencies--interest groups, media, and government.Divided into five parts, this book:*provides an overview of the corporate public affairs function;*explores strategies of the myriad interest groups in the United States, such as labor unions and environmental, consumer, women's, and human rights groups;*recognizes the media's increasing coverage of business events, especially negative ones, that have tremendous power both to undermine corporate credibility and to support public policy positions;* deals with legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government; and*raises the question of how corporate power strategies have affected the political marketplace.This book will appeal to advanced-level students, scholars, and practitioners in public relations and business fields.
Corporate Punishment
by James AdonisThink there's no 'I' in team'? There is. Believe that together everyone achieves more? They don't. Asked to give it 110 per cent? You can't. Think employees are your greatest asset? They ain't. Got an open-door policy? For goodness sake -- shut it!Whether you're a perpetrator or a casualty of cringe-worthy corporate clichés (or both), Corporate Punishment will challenge the way you think about the world of business and the mind-numbing management mottos that have underpinned it for decades. From teams and leadership to workplace culture and customer service, James Adonis smashes to pieces some of the most deeply entrenched business philosophies, offering in their place a progressive new thought process that's light on rhetoric and boring theory, but heavy on practicality and imagination.This book is a protest, a movement, a changing of the management guard -- it is the breath of fresh air every modern business needs and a long overdue break from the hot air that most are forced to endure.

Corporate Regulation for Climate Change Mitigation in Africa: A Case for Dilute Interventionism (Routledge Research in Sustainability and Business)
by Kikelomo O. KilaThis book critically analyses the prospects of overhauling the legal framework of climate change regulation of corporations in African state. It adopts the dilute interventionism regulatory framework to tackle the culture of regulatory resistance by corporations in Africa. Over the course of this volume, Kikelomo O. Kila critiques the climate change legal framework in all 53 African states and conducts an in-depth case study of the two largest economies in Africa – Nigeria and South Africa – to highlight the commonality of the problems in Africa and the potential for the dilute interventionism paradigm to significantly address these problems. The book establishes why African states should directly intervene through legislative mechanisms to compel corporations to incorporate climate change mitigation in their business activities. It proposes that this direct intervention should comprise a blend of prescriptive and facilitative mechanisms structured in a dilute interventionism regulatory model. Overall, this volume argues that implementing this model requires the institution of a strong and independent regulator with a veto firewall protection system that guarantees its de facto independence from government and external influences. Corporate Regulation for Climate Change Mitigation in Africa will be of great interest to climate change stakeholders at the international, regional, and domestic levels, policymakers, regulatory practitioners, and legal experts on corporate regulation. It will also be an insightful resource for students and scholars of climate change and environmental law, policy, and governance.
