    Sustainable Governance. Concept, metrics and contexts.

    No full text
    The role of Governance as a fundamental pillar of sustainability is now widely recognized and con rmed by its inclusion in the key ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) issues. Differently from the E and S, Governance has a more complex role, being a meta-construct over E, S, and ESG, and acting as a precon- dition and a result of the value creation in the long term. In response to changing understanding of corporate governance in the context of ESG, research has developed the notion of sustainable corporate governance (Allais, Roucoules, & Reyes, 2017), that is, a system based on the integration of shareholders and all stakeholders’ objectives, which safeguards the environment and collectivity at large. Despite the uprising popularity of ESG agenda and high importance of “G” factor, the concept of sustainable corporate governance is in its early stages of development. The concept still lacks the profound theoretical de nition, precise measurement system, and best practice examples of its implementation. With an intent to bridge the abovementioned gap, the aim of the book “Sustain- able Governance: Concept, Metrics, and Contexts” is to generalize the emerging concept of Sustainable Governance. This work provides comprehensive theoretical foundations basing on stakeholder and institutional theories as well as context-speci c theories for describing the concept in different settings and contexts, such as developed and developing econ- omies, large listed companies and SMEs, family businesses. The book systematizes components and operationalizes metrics of sustainable governance, being the rst one in the eld that builds a measurable sustainable governance concept. Additionally, the book makes it possible to reveal the value relevance of sustainable governance: the authors describe the dependence between sustainable corporate governance level and market valuations of the companies. Apart from theoretical explanation of the concept, the authors use practical case studies to describe the effective integration of sustainable governance into corporate structures. The book contains an in-depth analysis of the best practice cases that illustrate not only the leadership practice in the development of some governance components, but also the nancial value creation out of such leadership. This publication provides students and researchers with a profound analysis of the emerging sustainable governance concept. Thorough literature review and wide usage of theories make this book insightful for scholars, while various case studies and analysis of nancial market reactions build high relevance for companies and nancial market participants as well as regulators and civil society. The book is the result of a joint effort of the authors on the processes of conceptualization, planning, methodology, validation, data curation, writing, review and editing.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    In Search of Sustainable Value: A Structured Literature Review

    No full text
    The concept of value, where shareholders are the main recipients of the created value, is changing towards more comprehensive models, which respond to the increased stakeholder awareness and urgent sustainability agenda. Hart and Milstein (2003) elaborated the widely used sustainable value concept in which they characterize temporal and spatial dimensions of value, and suggest strategic drivers for sustainability. Although the framework is highly cited, there is no review on the changes over more than ten years. In this paper, we adopted a structured literature review methodology to discover how the concept of sustainable value has been used by researchers and how it has been developed. Our findings show that sustainable value has mainly been used as the general phrase to describe positive business results instead of using it as a concept. Scholars, who make an in-depth analysis of sustainable value do not emphasize the time horizon of sustainable value as its peculiar characteristic while broad stakeholder surrounding is called to be an important feature of sustainable value. Additionally, strategic drivers for sustainability have moved from being purely environmental as in Hart and Milstein’s (2003) concept: globalization, economic fluctuations, and knowledge innovation have become as important as green technologies and carbon-reduction policies

    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
