Parties prenantes ou actionnaires ?

LE MONDE ECONOMIE, April 28, 2009

By Pierre-Yves Gomez

  Apparue simultanément au début des années 1980 aux Etats-Unis (Strategic Management : A Stakeholder Approach, Edward Freeman, éd. Pitman. 1983) et en Europe (Management stratégique : organisation et politique, Alain-Charles Martinet, éd. Mc Graw Hill, 1984), la théorie des parties prenantes ou "Stakeholder Theory" a proposé une alternative au pouvoir actionnarial en se fondant sur le fonctionnement réel des entreprises et la recherche de la performance économique.

MBAs Cheat. But Why?

Harvard Business Publishing, April 13, 2009

By Donald McCabe

  In 2006, Linda Trevino, Ken Butterfield and I published a study that showed that MBAs cheat more than other graduate students in the U.S. and Canada.

Why does this happen? I believe the biggest issue is the get-it-done, damn-the-torpedoes, succeed-at-all costs mentality that many business students bring to the game, as Julia Kirby suggests. According to my research, the mindset of most MBAs--the bottom line--is to get the highest GPA possible, regardless of the means. After all, the students with the highest GPAs get the best shot at the six-figure jobs in pharmaceuticals, high tech, and, yes, finance.

       
Corporate frauds - A shocking revelation
Business Standard
, April 13, 2009

By M. R.  Mayya

  A study called “Early Warning Signals of Corporate Frauds” conducted by the Pune-based Indiaforensic Consultancy Services (ICS), a forensic accounting and education firm, from January 2008 to August 2008 has come out with shocking revelations about corporate frauds.

 ... Former chairman of SEBI, M Damodaran, had called for a public debate on this issue. Although a joint call to end quarterly EPS guidance was made recently by the CFA Centre for Market Integrity and by the Business Roundtable Institute for Corporate Ethics, the matter has not been pursued. It is time that the issue is revisited in the context of the revelations made by ICS.
