Standardänderungen innerhalb der IFRS-Rechnungslegung und deren Rückkopplungseffekte auf unternehmerische Signalisierungsmöglichkeiten: Eine Analyse am Beispiel der Neueinführung des Leasingstandards nach IFRS 16

by Laura Thorand-Walther

Dieses Buch verfolgt das Ziel, die Rückkopplungseffekte einer Standardänderung innerhalb der IFRS-Rechnungslegung auf die unternehmerischen Handlungsmöglichkeiten des Bilanzierenden ökonomisch zu analysieren und diese normativ kritisch zu würdigen. Einen inhaltlichen Schwerpunkt bilden die Fragestellungen, inwieweit dem Informationszweck der Rechnungslegung entgegenstehende, opportunistisch ausnutzbare Spielräume infolge einer Regelungsänderung reduziert wurden und ob sich tatsächliche, bilanzpolitische Signalisierungsmöglichkeiten für die Bilanzersteller ergeben. Die IFRS-16-Standardänderung wird dafür als beispielhaftes Instrument zur Verbesserung der Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten des bilanzierenden Unternehmens betrachtet und untersucht. Eine wesentliche Erkenntnis ist, dass die Wirksamkeit der Regelungsänderung vor dem Hintergrund der konzeptionellen Analyse entstehender Handlungsoptionen sowie der ersten erzielbaren empirischen Evidenz zu bestätigen ist. Relativ stärkere Unternehmen werden aufgrund ihrer vergangenen Unternehmensperformance auch künftig in der Lage sein, die Kosten sachverhaltsgestaltender Maßnahmen aufzubringen, um sich durch ein wirksames Signaling am Kapitalmarkt abzuheben.

Standing Up for Nonprofits: Advocacy on Federal, Sector-wide Issues (Elements in Public and Nonprofit Administration)

by Benjamin Soskis Alan J. Abramson

This Element examines the recent history of nonprofit sector-wide advocacy at the federal level, focusing on work done by national nonprofit infrastructure organizations and national charities, to advocate on issues, such as tax incentives for charitable giving, that affect a broad range of nonprofits. The Element draws on interviews with thirty-nine national and state nonprofit leaders and federal policymakers as well as published papers and journalistic accounts. It finds that many policymakers are only weakly supportive of the nonprofit sector. In the end, this Element points to an uneasy, shifting balance in nonprofit sector advocacy between informal, decentralized, issue-based coalitions focused on short-term, if vital, legislative victories, on one hand, and the public good mandate embraced by some sector-wide advocates, which attends to longer time horizons and a broad conception of the defense of civil society, on the other. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Standing Up to Big Nickel: The Story of the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers Strike, 1958

by Elizabeth Quinlan

All miners and smelter workers know the folly of going on strike when their employer holds a stockpile. In 1958 the International Nickel Company had enough nickel on hand to guarantee sales for at least six months. Despite this, fourteen thousand miners and smeltermen in Sudbury, Ontario, downed their tools and struck against the corporate titan of the mining industry.Standing Up to Big Nickel is a comprehensive portrait of a pivotal strike by the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, a union that has inspired exceptional levels of solidarity among its members. The Cold War and the resulting instabilities in the Canadian labour movement form the backdrop to Elizabeth Quinlan’s engrossing analysis. The union straddled the line, she shows, between its historical commitment to working-class struggle and the newly restrictive legal landscape of the postwar era. Retrospective accounts by surviving union members, leaders, family, and community members bring to life the history of a distinctive group of workers who sweated over smelter furnaces and toiled underground in perilous conditions.Quinlan traces the events before, during, and after one of Canada’s greatest strikes in both magnitude and duration. Featuring biographical sketches and scenes based on archival and documentary data, Standing Up to Big Nickel captures an intensely dramatic juncture in Canadian labour history.

Standing in the Fire: Leading high-heat meetings with clarity, calm, and courage

by Larry Dressler

From an accomplished international facilitator, &“a must-read for anyone who must navigate through a sea of emotionally charged issues&” (Russell Coff, Associate Professor of Organization and Management, Emory University). Experienced facilitators, OD consultants, coaches, and organizational leaders increasingly find themselves standing in the fire—working in situations where group and community members are polarized, angry, fearful, and confused. Facilitator Larry Dressler has come to believe that simply picking up yet another method or technique won&’t help in situations like these. What has a truly transformational impact is what he calls the &“facilitators presence.&” Cultivating an ability to access a compassionate presence that people experience as open, authentic, and clear in intention during the most difficult situations moves facilitators from being competent professionals to being on a path toward self-mastery. In this helpful guide, he explains how to make that transformation happen.

Standing on the Sun

by Christopher Meyer Julia Kirby

For half a century the US has sat at the center of the global economic system, and Western-style capitalism has dominated. Now, it's no secret that the center of gravity is shifting. The advanced economies that in 2000 consumed 75% of the world's output will, by 2050, consume just 32%. Meanwhile, the emerging economies of the world--Brazil, India, China, and others--will surge forward.As these fast-growing, low-income economies mature, will they adopt the practices of the old guard? Or will they make their own way, and create the next prevailing version of capitalism? What new opportunities will that create for firms around the world?Standing on the Sun tackles these questions with fresh ideas and provocative examples. Based on firsthand observations of companies defying capitalism's old rules yet prospering, the authors outline new principles for commercial success. Among them:· The obsession with return on equity gives way to more broad-based measurements of success.· Adam Smith's invisible hand of the market is redeemed by the "invisible handshake" of collaborative networks. · Businesses take ownership of the impacts they now call "externalities."Those who need to understand the emerging shape of global capitalism will benefit from Standing on the Sun.

Standoff: Race, Policing, and a Deadly Assault That Gripped a Nation

by Jamie Thompson

Standoff is award-winning journalist Jamie Thompson's gripping account of a deadly night in Dallas, told through the eyes of those at the center of the events, who offer a nuanced look at race and policing in AmericaOn the evening of July 7, 2016, protesters gathered in cities across the nation after police shot two black men, Philando Castile and Alton Sterling. As officers patrolled a march in Dallas, a young man stepped out of an SUV wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a high-powered rifle. He killed five officers and wounded eleven others. It fell to a small group of cops to corner the shooter inside a community college, where a fierce gun battle was followed by a stalemate. Crisis negotiator Larry Gordon, a 21-year department veteran, spent hours bonding with the gunman—over childhood ghosts and death and shared experiences of racial injustice in America—while his colleagues devised an unprecedented plan to bring the night to its dramatic end. Thompson’s minute-by-minute account includes intimate portrayals of the negotiator, a surgeon who operated on the fallen officers, a mother of four shot down in the street, and the SWAT officers tasked with stopping the gunman. This is a deeply affecting story of real people navigating a terrifying crisis and a city's attempts to heal its divisions.

Stanley’s Girl: Poems

by Susan Eisenberg

The fiercely lyrical poetry of Stanley’s Girl is rooted in Susan Eisenberg’s experience as one of the first women to enter the construction industry and from her decades gathering accounts of others to give scaffolding to that history. Eisenberg charts her own induction into the construction workplace culture and how tradeswomen from across the country grappled with what was required to become a team player and succeed in a dangerous workplace where women were unwelcome. The specifics of construction become metaphor as she explores resonances in other spheres—from family to other social and political issues—where violence, or its threat, maintains order. Prying open memory, her poems investigate how systems of discrimination, domination, and exclusion are maintained and how individuals and institutions accommodate to injustice and its agreed-on lies, including her own collusion. Poems in this collection probe workplace-linked suicide, sexual assault, and sometimes-fatal intentional accidents, as well as the role of bystander silence and the responsibility of witness.
