...duties of corporate directors are to manage company affairs, holding the board of directors meeting, and selecting the managing director or CEO to operate the company. Yet, in real world, the directors will abuse their power to exclude minority of directors, or make selfish decision with their own sakes of interests in the expense of company interests. For example, managing directors will maximize their director fees without the paying of dividends, or excluding the minority of directors by voting. Because of that, the legal system allows shareholders to take “derivative actions” to balance the power of directors. Derivative actions are the effective tools to solve this problem. However, it is not well proven in the real world. The purpose of protection and effect on company of derivative actions in practice will be discussed. Derivative Actions There are two types of derivative actions, common law derivative actions and statutory ones. For common law derivative action, it is taken based on case laws such as Foss and Harbottle case. In this case, two shareholders, Richard Foss and Edward Starkie Turton claimed the board of directors decided to misuse the land in Manchester of company which made company wasted many on the mortgage.

...Executive Summary Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFIs) play a significant role in meeting the diverse financial need of various sectors of an economy and thus contribute to the economic development of the country as well as to the deepening of the country’s financial system. According to Goldsmith (1969), financial development in a country starts with the development of banking institutions. As the development process proceeds, NBFIs become prominent alongside the banking sector. The major business of most NBFIs in Bangladesh is leasing, though some are also diversifying into other lines of business like term lending, housing finance, merchant banking, equity financing, venture capital financing etc. Lease financing, term lending and housing finance constituted 94 percent of the total financing activities of all NBFIs up to June 2006. Industrial Promotion and Development Company (IPDC) was the first private sector NBFI in Bangladesh, which started its operation in 1981. Since then the number has been increasing and in December 2006 it reached 29. Of these, one is government owned, 15 are local (private) and the other 13 are established under joint venture with foreign participation. Leasing in Bangladesh, like in many of its peer countries, owes its origin to the efforts of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Washington. At the instance of IFC, the first leasing company in Bangladesh, Industrial Development Leasing Company of Bangladesh Ltd. (IDLC) was set...

What is proposed? What has changed from 2007-2013? What are the practical effects? Cohesion Policy Financial instruments represent a resource-efficient way of deploying cohesion policy resources in pursuit of the Europe 2020 Strategy objectives. Targeting projects with potential economic viability, financial instruments provide support for investments by way of loans, guarantees, equity and other risk-bearing mechanisms including policy-based guarantees for the European Social Fund (ESF), possibly combined with interest rate subsidies or guarantee fee subsidies within the same operation. Besides the obvious advantages of recycling funds over the long term, financial instruments help to mobilise additional public or private co-investments in order to address market failures in line with Europe 2020 and cohesion policy priorities. Their delivery structures entail additional expertise and know-how, which helps to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of public resource allocation. Moreover, these instruments provide a variety of incentives to better performance, including greater financial discipline at the level of supported projects. Financial instruments have been...

...This paper is about the complexity of managing organizations. As theoretical groundwork the book Organising and Managing Work by Tony Watson will be used. The book by Tony Watson covers issues about organizational, managerial and strategic behavior. In particular, the author argues for a critical common sense and the use of philosophical pragmatism (Watson, 2006). He also questions the way work is organized and managed. Finally, the process-relation perspective, a critical perspective of how to think about organizations and their relations and interactions with people, is taken by Watson (2006). This paper will start with a description of the two theories “System-control framing” and “Process-relational framing”. Afterwards the three concepts strategic exchange, negotiated order and double control will be defined and exemplified by different cases from the course. Finally, the paper will look into the complexity of managing knowledge at organizations supported by examples from Danone and McKinsey. In the field of leadership and management studies, there are two main perspectives “System-control framing” and “Process-relational framing”, which can help to analyze and make sense of complex organizations. The system-control perspective recognizes organizations as an entity that is “a system of managerially designed rules and roles existing on its own terms […] based on an organization design with a set of structural and cultural characteristics” (Watson, 2006, p.30). According...
