Book Description
"Uncle, your chin is so ugly ~" Uncle! Shen Mo Yuan was about to explode: Am I that old? Five years had passed just for her sake, but when she came back full of confidence, the little girl had completely forgotten about her. When he saw the little girl bravely beating up her boyfriend and her so-called best friend, Shen Mo Yuan was enchanted with her: she had not seen her for five years, but she had grown up. When she was down and out, Shen Mo Yuan had given her a big chest as a shield to counterattack the conceited man and woman beautifully. He thought that he could start a romantic confession, but Xu Wen waved him off, "Goodbye, Uncle!" Goodbye? Shen Mo Yuan's lips rose slightly, his thumb gently pressed the ring on his left hand: Since I'm back, then I won't see you again! This uncle is really annoying! Xu Wen did not understand why Shen Mo Yuan, who was neither family nor friends with him, would help him vent his anger: 'As long as I, a trash of a man, ignore her, why bother so much?' If not for the shameless big bad wolf squatting behind him, Xu Wen would never have agreed to Shen Mo Yuan's marriage. However, after getting married, she found out one thing: her uncle was a tiger, and he was just waiting for the sheep to enter the tiger's den! Ah ah ah, who will save her and chase away this hateful tiger? Pursing his lips into a smile, Shen Mo Yuan sneakily whispered into Xu Wen's ear, "Little fat sheep, you can't get away anymore!"

Tomorrow's Capitalist
Author: Alan Murray
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 1541789105
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
The Next Big Idea Club, Best Leadership Books of 2022 In an era of political and cultural extremism, America’s corporate leaders have emerged as the pragmatic center of a movement for social and economic progress. The core tenets of a capitalist system that dominated the world for more than a century are being challenged as never before. Narratives about the failures of capitalism, the greed of the 1 percent, and the blindness of corporations to public need have made their mark and are driving change. These aren’t the superficial cosmetic fixes that generated so much cynicism in the past, but a revolution in the way corporations are imagined and run. Tomorrow’s Capitalist reveals how corporate CEOs—the ultimate pragmatists—realized that they could lose their “operating license” unless they tackle the fundamental issues of our time: climate, diversity and inclusion, and inequality and workforce opportunity. Responding to their employees and customers who are demanding corporate change, they have taken the lead in establishing the bold new principles of stakeholder capitalism, ensuring that for the first time in more than a half a century it is not just shareholders who have a say in how corporations are run. Alan Murray vividly captures the zeitgeist of the real and compelling dynamic that is transforming much of the corporate world.

CEOs and White-Collar Crime
Author: Petter Gottschalk
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319559354
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
This book aims to bridge the gap between general CEO research, which is traditionally focused on positive aspects of leadership, and lesser understood research into CEO misconduct and crime. Gottschalk introduces convenience theory as an integrated explanation for CEO involvement in white-collar crime. The chief executive officer is a unique position within an organization in terms of power and influence, role and behavior, compensation and benefits, and conflict and competition. The convenience perspective suggests that motivation (personal and organizational goals), opportunity (offense and concealment in an organizational context), as well as behavior (lack of control and neutralization of guilt) make financial crime a convenient option to avoid threats and to exploit opportunities. A thorough and methodical study, this book will be of special interest to scholars of corporate social responsibility and criminological theory.
