Focusing on the concept of a firm as a network of stakeholder resources, this book introduces a relational theory that emphasizes governance and managerial strategies within a relational economy. It revisits traditional views of the firm while exploring key concepts like relational governance, costs, and shared value creation. The author outlines the necessary epistemological and methodological foundations for this theory and invites readers to engage in its ongoing development, presenting a dynamic and process-oriented approach to business models.

Compliance ist als Integritätsmanagement heute ein wesentlicher Aspekt erfolgreichen unternehmerischen Handelns. Unter den Bedingungen der digitalen Transformation, die neue Geschäftsmodelle ermöglicht, die Welt verbindet und vielseitige ungekannte Risiken birgt, ist ein robustes Compliance-Management gefragt, das sich nicht nur mit klassischer Korruptionsbekämpfung auseinandersetzt - auch Themen der Cyber- und Privacy-, Produkt- und Technik-Compliance, Geldwäsche und die Einhaltung von Menschen- und Arbeitnehmerrechten in internationalen Wertschöpfungsketten stehen immer mehr im Fokus. Die Neubearbeitung dieses Handbuchs spiegelt diese beispiellose Dynamik der letzten Jahren praxisgerecht wider: Mit internationalem Blick (Sie finden Länderstudien u.a. zu China, Lateinamerika, Russland, Afrika) und über 40 neuen Beiträgen zu den aktuell wichtigsten Compliance-Topics.

Communication and cooperation between culturally diverse people and organizations are mostly described as intercultural, transnational or cross-border phenomena – a perspective that might not fit to all realities, for example, when being applied to Hong Kong. Since 1842, Hong Kong has been a “marginal man” between the East and the West: As a window for Western economic and cultural outreach to Asia as well as a Chinese gateway to the world, the city represents a unique microcosm for cultural convergence, contagion, divergence and hybridization to name but a few of the prevalent attributions. However, what if Hong Kong were neither a case of “either – or” nor a melting pot of cultures, but an example of the emergence of something new? What are the transcultural practices, spheres and competences that allow diversity and create commonality? This book introduces the transcultural approach and assembles the findings of a field project conducted by a group of young researchers from different cultural and disciplinary backgrounds. Being a transcultural experiment itself, the project analyzes the case of Hong Kong from the perspective of arts, geography, management, media, political science, and sociology. The result is a multi-faceted and complex picture of Hong Kong as a microcosm – of transculturality. Contents I.

The concept of Transcultural Leadership is gaining increasing attention among academics and in practice. In the context of the complex economical and societal developments that we face in today’s world, managing the relationing of different perspectives and enabling the required learning processes calls for competencies that go beyond traditional leadership concepts. Effective transcultural leadership is about responding to the challenges that globalisation and global value creation bring – and about accessing the potentials of cross-cultural cooperation. Against this backdrop, this volume presents the current state of research on the concept of Transcultural Leadership and the corresponding competence models. It combines innovative theoretical and conceptual approaches with topical empirical analyses, and thereby offers a sound foundation for reflections on what it means to be a successful leader in today’s and tomorrow’s globalising environments.

This book presents findings from a transcultural research group of students and lecturers from Uganda and Germany, who focused on central Ugandan culture and the work of the Hope Development Initiative (HDI). The contributions are categorized into three areas: entrepreneurship, society, and culture, emphasizing community building from a transcultural perspective. The research aims to analyze how community building fosters entrepreneurial opportunities, positively impacting individuals and the community. The introduction by Catherine P. Anena discusses the HDI and the Amolatar District. In the entrepreneurship section, Janine Kaiser explores financing for African hybrid start-ups, while Alexander Shevelov examines the impact of digital transformation on Uganda’s agriculture. Asha Olol investigates how HDI creates value through inclusive female leadership. In the society section, Charlotte Theiss addresses gender imbalances in rural Uganda, and Louisa Singer highlights HDI's role in fostering civil society. Marius Hupperich reviews development measures by state and private players, and a collaborative piece by David Mugambe Mpiima and others discusses farmer groups and ICTs in the Lango region. Catherine P. Anena and Catherine I. Abalo present best practices for promoting women’s sustainable livelihoods through the HDI rice program. The culture section includes Annelie Graf's field report on art and culture's role in identity

To state that, in a globalizing world, cooperation across cultures is needed to bring about prosperity and mutual gain seems self-evident. In the context of global value creation we need to think and act across borders. However, what exactly might form the basis and success factors of such cooperation? And what does this imply for leadership strategies? At the annual Transcultural Leadership Summit at the Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen, Germany, these topics are tackled in depth. This publication assembles the contributions of various speakers at the Summit held in 2017, following the Summit’s title “Learning about Sub-Saharan Africa” and continuing some of the key reflections and discussions raised throughout the event. Considering current developments, including the worldwide reach of value chains and political and societal initiatives, Sub-Saharan Africa has high potential for being the next hub of globalization. Global value creation opens up new opportunities, not only in terms of the development of countries individually, but also in terms of cross-border cooperation and transcultural processes in business and society – this is what the title “Learning about Sub-Saharan Africa” is all about. Exchanging ideas about successful cooperation between Sub-Saharan Africa and Germany, telling success stories, learning from each other, being creative and open-minded – all these are features that lie at the core of the concept of transculturality. This book aims to contribute to this endeavour. Contents I.

Over the last years, “Creating Shared Value” has become a much discussed concept in business practice as well as in management theory and especially in the context of corporate social responsibility. This book offers a contribution to the current academic discussions on the well-received article of Michael Porter and Marc Kramer in Harvard Business Review in 2011. In the light of the increasing references to the shared value concept, it develops a critical discussion on its fundamentals and its implications for the relationship between economy and society. By that, the book seeks to shed light on the understanding of the role and the nature of the firm in a globalized economy. The result is a collection of interdisciplinary academic reviews which offer interdisciplinary reflections on “Creating Shared Value” to illuminate theoretical, conceptual and practical challenges of the topic. Within the fields of Business Ethics, Theory of the Firm, Management and Philosophy, researcher, students and practitioners will be given a deeper insight on how to approach to the concept in a conceptional and philosophical way.

Dieses Buch diskutiert die Wertschöpfungsprozesse moderner und globaler Wirtschaftssysteme und die daraus resultierenden Herausforderungen für die ökonomische Theoriebildung. Relational Economics ist eine politische Ökonomie der Governance wirtschaftlicher Transaktionen moderner Gesellschaften. Das Buch analysiert die Mechanismen globaler Wertschöpfungsketten am Gegenstand der kooperativen Produktivität globaler intra- und inter-firm Netzwerke, des dafür erforderlichen intersektoralen Stakeholder-Managements und deren transkultureller Führung. Aus der Diskussion dieser Zusammenhänge entwickelt es die kategoriale Taxonomie einer allgemeinen Theorie der Relation wirtschaftlicher Ereignisse. Deren analytische Grundeinheiten sind die relationale Transaktion und deren Formen der Governance, sowie die polykontextuale Kooperation wirtschaftlicher, politischer und zivilgesellschaftlicher Akteure und der dabei anfallenden und zu verteilenden Faktoreinkommen und relationalen Renten. Relationale Transaktionen sind, anders als der diskrete Tausch der Standardökonomie, dynamische Attraktoren multipler sozialer Kontexte und Entscheidungslogiken als immanente Faktoren der Wertschöpfung. Sie sind nicht die Ausnahme, sondern das Charakteristikum moderner Ökonomien und ihrer globalen Netze.
