IFRS 16 and Corporate Financial Performance in Italy: An Empirical Post-Implementation Analysis (Contributions to Finance and Accounting)
by Elisa RaoliThis book presents an empirical analysis on how the new lease accounting model of IFRS 16 affects financial statements and performance of Italian companies. It discusses the theoretical framework of the off-balance sheet financing with a particular focus on the off-balance sheet lease contracts. Previous research provided controversial results about the potential impacts on the companies’ financial statement and performance deriving from leases capitalization. The application of different methodological approaches based on estimation of the expected effects resulted in inconclusive results. This book aims to measure the real impacts deriving from the post-implementation of the new lease accounting standard (IFRS 16) on companies’ financial statements, economic and financial performance, on market reactions and on financial statement’ users.

IFRS in China
by Karthik Ramanna Nancy Hua Dai G. A. DonovanIn 2005, China announced plans to "converge with," but not completely adopt, IFRS. China also began to lobby for changes to specific IFRS provisions, such as for related party disclosures by state-owned firms, to bring them more into line with Chinese interests. China's accounting system had already undergone significant reforms during the two decades when its economy had grown to become the fourth largest in the world. However, enforcement of accounting standards remained weak, the financial system was relatively immature, and large state-owned firms still dominated many sectors of the economy.

IGAD and Multilateral Security in the Horn of Africa: Through the Lens of the Somali Conflict
by Adeoye O. Akinola Mohamed Farah HersiThis book offers an insightful and comprehensive exploration of the Inter-Governmental Authority for Development (IGAD) and its endeavours to foster economic and security regionalism in the dynamic landscape of the Horn of Africa. Established in 1986 as a drought-focused inter-governmental organization, IGAD has transformed into a sub-regional institution with an ambitious vision of promoting regional integration. However, amidst optimism, it grapples with historical, strategic, and geographical complexities that impede progress towards a more unified Horn of Africa. Adopting a political economy approach, the book critically dissects IGAD's role in shaping the zone's security and development. Employing multidisciplinary case studies, it unveils the reality of IGAD's efforts, providing a comprehensive understanding of its strengths and limitations. The book further applies neorealist and regional security complex theories, delving into the roles of states and non-actors, meticulously assessing IGAD's security agenda with Somalia as a focal point. This thought-provoking analysis brings to light the challenges and opportunities for sustainable regional integration. Beyond its academic significance, this book serves as a practical resource, offering sustainable policy templates to bolster regionalism and quell armed insurrections and inter-state conflicts within the Horn. Furthermore, it interrogates the geopolitics of the region, scrutinizing the involvement of foreign powers like the US and China, alongside regional giants like Ethiopia, in IGAD's security and economic aspirations. For researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders devoted to the Horn of Africa's development and reconstruction, this book proves to be an invaluable asset. It fills a significant void in existing literature, providing vital insights into African political development, peace, security, and security sector reforms.

IKEA's Global Sourcing Challenge: Indian Rugs and Child Labor (A)
by Vincent Dessain Christopher A. Bartlett Anders SjomanTraces the history of IKEA's response to a TV report that its Indian carpet suppliers were using child labor. Describes IKEA's growth, including the importance of a sourcing strategy based on its close relationships with suppliers in developing countries. Details the development of IKEA's strong culture and values that include a commitment "to create a better everyday life for many people." Describes how, in response to regulatory and public pressure, IKEA developed a set of environmental policies that grew to encompass a relationship with Greenpeace and WWF on forest management and conservation. Then, in 1994, Marianne Barner, a newly appointed IKEA product manager, is surprised by a Swedish television documentary on the use of child labor by Indian carpet suppliers, including some that supply IKEA's rugs. She immediately implements a strict policy that provides for contract cancellation if any IKEA supplier uses child labor. Then Barner is confronted by a German TV producer who advises her that he is about to broadcast an investigative program documenting the use of child labor in one of the company's major suppliers. How should she react to the crisis? How should the company deal with the ongoing issue of child labor in the supply chain?
IKIGAI-Leadership: Die japanische Methode zum sinnvollen Führen und langen Leben
by Andre Daiyu SteinerIn der heutigen, oft unsicheren Zeit sind viele Menschen vor allem auf der Suche nach Gleichgewicht und Sinn in ihrem persönlichen und beruflichen Leben. Die Mehrheit der vorallem jüngeren Arbeitnehmer wünscht sich, dass ihre Arbeit Sinn und Zweck hat und dass die Unternehmen, für die sie arbeiten, mehr wollen, als bloß Geld zu verdienen. Die Antwort darauf kann Ikigai sein - ein beliebtes japanisches Konzept, wie man ein glückliches und zielgerichtetes Leben führen kann. Es geht darum, dass Sie Ihre Essenz (wer Sie im tiefsten Inneren sind) und den Grund Ihres Hierseins (Ihren Zweck) in Harmonie mit Ihrer Tätigkeit erleben. André Daiyû Steiner überträgt deshalb in seinem Buch IKIGAI auf die Herausforderungen des heutigen Führungsalltags. Dabei stehen die vier zentralen Fragen des IKIGAI im Mittelpunkt: Worin sind Sie wirklich gut? Was machen Sie gerne? Was braucht die Welt? Wofür zahlt man Ihnen Geld? Diese vier wesentlichen Elemente bilden in ihrer Schnittmenge den IKIGAI. Ihre tiefsten Leidenschaften, Talente, sinnvollen Beiträge und die Bedürfnisse der Welt kommen zusammen und vermitteln ein Gefühl von Sinn und Erfüllung im (Arbeits-)Leben. Das Ergebnis: Sie sind zutiefst zufrieden und leidenschaftlich, bei dem was Sie tun und wie Sie führen. Sie werden durch einen Zustand des Flow getragen, der für neue Energie und Ausgeglichenheit sorgt.
