Abstract

"This book critically examines key features of the contemporary organizational landscape by focusing on major beneficiaries of recent historical political-cultural transformations involving the embrace of market fundamentalism and a market society: namely, corporations, those who direct them, and those who use them for their own benefit. Part I examines the big US-based tech firms (i.e. Facebook, Google, Apple, and Amazon), highlighting numerous tensions and contradictions between their highly cultivated, flattering, yet unwarranted, public images and the reality of how they operate as extremely competitive, at times deceptive, profit-seeking entities. A focus on these firms also highlights just how dramatically the economic realm has been transformed over the past few decades due to accelerating advances in information technology and corporate-managed globalization. Part II explores how the state has been pushed back via privatization and corporate predation in such areas as health care, military/security, criminal justice, philanthropy, and education, and concludes by looking forward with a vision of a knowledge-caring society that must rebalance corporate-managed market fundamentalism. Through the use of clear cases that bring the theory to life for students, the book is ideal as a supplementary text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in a range of coursework in the fields of organizational theory and behavior, leadership in organizations, and management responsibility and business ethics. It will also be of great interest to students of sociology, specifically in the areas of complex organizations, economic sociology, theory, political sociology, and law and society"--

Abstract

"How do corporations use their instrumental and structural power within markets and states to advance their policy agendas? Capitalism and Class Power examines corporate power through chapters on the U.S. military industrial complex, the rise of billionaire wealth in the U.S., the role of a transnational investment bloc in U.S.-Saudi relations, the rise of global disinformation firms, Canadian imperialism in the English-speaking Caribbean, the power of an EU corporate bloc in Caribbean trade agreements, the relationship between capitalism and poverty in rich capitalist countries, and the relationship between "neoliberalism" and capitalism. Professor Cox concludes the volume with reflections on the importance of corporate power research to achieving systemic change. Contributors are: Melissa Boissiere, Aram Eisenschitz, Jamie A. Gough, Adam D. Hernandez, Tamanisha J. John, Mazaher Koruzhde, Rob Piper and Bryant William Sculos. Ronald W. Cox is Professor of Politics and International Relations at Florida International University. He has published six books on corporate power in the global economy and is editor of the open access online journal Class, Race and Corporate Power"--

Abstract

"Jak w mys´leniu o gospodarowaniu (nie tylko w ekonomii) uwzgle?dnia sie? dzialalnos´c´ grup dominuja?cych i jaka rola w tym obszarze przypada pan´stwu? Na ile teoria objas´nia m.in. sposoby koordynacji aktywnos´ci gospodarczej i fenomen korporacji, dzialania zbiorowe, konflikty intereso´w i walke? u podzial dochodu? Autorka prezentowanej publikacji sie?ga do intelektualnych zasobo´w mys´lenia o gospodarce, kto´re osadzaja? zjawiska ekonomiczne w znacznie szerszym niz? gospodarka rynkowa konteks´cie spolecznym, politycznym i historycznym. Na tym tle prezentowani sa? wybitni kontynuatorzy tego sposobu mys´lenia o gospodarowaniu, publikuja?cy w XXI wieku. W kapitalizmie funkcjonuja? instytucje, kto´re sprzyjaja? osia?ganiu pozycji dominuja?cej przez wielopodmiotowe organizacje gospodaruja?ce. Sklonnos´c´ do koncentracji sily ekonomicznej jest nieustannym wyzwaniem dla wladzy pan´stwa. Szansa? na wzmocnienie przez pan´stwo wlasnej pozycji przetargowej jest wejs´cie w nowy strategiczny sojusz z grupami spolecznymi. Celem ksia?z?ki jest zwro´cenie uwagi na nieortodoksyjne (przynajmniej w ekonomii) kierunki mys´lenia i pogla?dy na ten temat."-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Trust in Australian democracy has more than halved over the last decade, from 86% in 2007 to 41% in 2018. Part of this erosion of trust stems from a belief that big business has too much power. Community concerns have sparked major campaigns for a federal anti-corruption body and political donations reform. People are concerned that politicians are privileging the concerns of their mates in big business over the community or the public good.This book sets out to test the evidence for these public fears, considering mining companies and the mining tax; the banks and the financial advice scandals; Telstra and the NBN; News Ltd and media reform; Coles and Woolies versus the farmers; and attempts by government to reform contract laws and laws on the abuse of market power. It asks if the major corporates are disproportionately winning in our political debates? And if so, why? -- Publisher's website.

Abstract

La 4è de couv. indique : "Crise des gilets jaunes et pandémie du coronavirus, deux raisons fortes pour Christian Pierret et Philippe Latorre de favoriser une révolution de l'entreprise pour transformer la société française. En France l'histoire a placé l'État au centre. Cette préférence française pour l'État est désormais un obstacle au changement. L'entreprise se transforme en objet politique : de Google, Amazon ou Facebook à la PME, l'entreprise, hyperpuissante ou simplement locale, conquiert une place nouvelle au coeur des débats de société : les inégalités, le climat, l'innovation, la santé... Leur connaissance intime du fonctionnement de l'État et de la gouvernance des entreprises conduit Christian Pierret et Philippe Latorre à proposer un double compromis historique. Un compromis entre l'État et l'entreprise, désormais partenaires pour un meilleur partage de la décision et de la valeur économique. Un compromis à l'intérieur de l'entreprise : celle-ci ne doit plus être la seule propriété de ses actionnaires familiaux ou financiers. Le pouvoir et la valeur économique créée doivent être partagés avec les salariés, actionnaires et acteurs de la codécision. Pour renouveler la démocratie et refonder la République."
