Entgrenzte Verantwortung: Zur Reichweite und Regulierung von Verantwortung in Wirtschaft, Medien, Technik und Umwelt
by Anja Seibert-FohrDieses Buch bietet eine interdisziplinäre Auseinandersetzung mit dem Begriff der Verantwortung in einer zunehmend von Entgrenzung geprägten Lebenswelt. Es beschreibt, wie durch den technischen Fortschritt und den Wegfall von Grenzen im Bereich digitaler Kommunikation, globaler Wirtschafts- und Finanzmärkte sowie in Forschung und Umwelt neue Herausforderungen für die Regulierung von Verantwortung entstanden sind. Die Autoren sind namhafte Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher Fachdisziplinen einschließlich der Philosophie, Theologie, Soziologie, Sozialpsychologie, Sozialanthropologie, Poltischen Wissenschaft, Ökonomie und der Rechtswissenschaften. Sie beschreiben die ideengeschichtliche Entwicklung des Verantwortungsbegriffs und weisen auf aktuelle Regulierungs- und Normbefolgungsdefizite hin. Zu diesem Zwecke zeigen sie auf, worin die Entgrenzung unserer Lebenswelt konkret besteht, welche neuen Herausforderungen dadurch entstanden sind, welche Bedeutung diese Entgrenzung für die Regulierung, sprich die Verteilung und Zuschreibung von Verantwortung, hat und wie Verantwortung vor diesem Hintergrund neu konzipiert werden kann. Ein besonderes Augenmerk gilt dabei dem Umgang mit Neuen Medien, Big Data, Künstlicher Intelligenz sowie Cybersicherheit. Auch der Ausfall von Verantwortung im Dieselskandal wird untersucht. Auf dieser Grundlage werden Anregungen für eine Neubestimmung der Reichweite und Grenzen von Verantwortung erarbeitet. Neue Formen der Regulierung werden schließlich am Beispiel des Klimaschutzes dargestellt und bewertet.
Enthüllung: Vom CEO zum Whistleblower bei Olympus
by Michael Woodford Andreas Schieberle Marlies FerberEin Mann allein gegen einen gigantischen japanischen Konzern! Ein heldenhafter Kampf gegen Betrug und Vertuschung! Mut, Ehrlichkeit und Integrität, die ihresgleichen suchen! Das ist die Geschichte von Enthüllung und Michael Woodford. »Ein meisterhaft fesselndes Buch, in dessen Mittelpunkt ein wunderbarer Held steht. Mit allen Attributen eines John-Grisham-Romans ... Aber Enthüllung ist weit furchterregender, weil alles wahr ist.« Evening Standard »Bemerkenswert. Lebendig, zornig und aus vollem Herzen.« Mail on Sunday »Woodford erzählt in einem an Grisham erinnernden Tempo, wie er auf Betrügereien im Umfang von 1,7 Milliarden Dollar stieß, die er, anders als seine Vorstandskollegen, nicht bereit war zu vertuschen. Er ist einer der wenigen ausländischen Manager, die bis tief hinein in ein japanisches Unternehmen vorstießen und unerschrocken davon berichten.« Financial Times »Der Ex-Manager Woodford ist auf dem besten Weg, ein Bestsellerautor zu werden. Sein Buch hat alles, was ein guter Wirtschaftskrimi braucht!« Die Welt »Michael Woodford machte Bilanztricks bei Olympus öffentlich und brachte einen der größten Skandale der jüngeren Wirtschaftsgeschichte ins Rollen.

Enticements: Queer Legal Studies (LGBTQ Politics)
by Joseph J. Fischel and Brenda CossmanProvides a variety of queer, interdisciplinary interventions upon the social and legal regulation of sex,gender, reproduction, and family.In Enticements, an exceptional group of interdisciplinary scholars comes together to contribute to the field of Queer Legal Studies. The essays investigate a wildly proliferating assortment of genders, sexualities, and intimacies, questioning how they have been regulated, criminalized, or privileged by law and other regulatory forces.Enticements expands and expounds on the discipline of queer legal studies. Contributors focus on a wide range of sex/gender regulatory regimes, interrogating the use and abuse of queer history for impact litigation and social change, colonial and postcolonial sex laws otherwise obscured by the modern LGBT paradigm of sexual identity, and the policing of trans and cis men. Moving beyond a focus on LGBT identities, contributors consider limits to reproductive freedom, the Christianization of social justice movements, and the politicization of care within and across Black and feminist studies. Accessible and forward-looking, Enticements consolidates and emboldens queer legal studies as a critical, necessary field for the historical present.With noted contributions from Libby Adler, Chris Ashford, Matthew Ball, Noa Ben-Asher, Mary Anne Case, Brenda Cossman, Joseph J. Fischel, Janet Halley, Zachary Herz, Ratna Kapur, Ido Katri, Evelyn Kessler, Ummni Khan, Kyle Kirkup, Jennifer C. Nash, Senthorun Raj, and Matthew Waites.
Entitled: A Critical History of the British Aristocracy
by Chris Bryant"A proudly partisan history of the British aristocracy - which scores some shrewd hits against the upper class themselves, and the nostalgia of the rest of us for their less endearing eccentricities. A great antidote to Downton Abbey." (Mary Beard)Exploring the extraordinary social and political dominance enjoyed by the British aristocracy over the centuries, Entitled seeks to explain how a tiny number of noble families rose to such a position in the first place. It reveals the often nefarious means they have employed to maintain their wealth, power and prestige and examines the greed, ambition, jealousy and rivalry which drove aristocratic families to guard their interests with such determination. In telling their history, Entitled introduces a cast of extraordinary characters: fierce warriors, rakish dandies, political dilettantes, charming eccentrics, arrogant snobs and criminals who quite literally got away with murder.
Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women
by Kate ManneAn urgent exploration of men&’s entitlement and how it serves to police and punish women, from the acclaimed author of Down Girl&“Kate Manne is a thrilling and provocative feminist thinker. Her work is indispensable.&”—Rebecca Traister NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE ATLANTIC In this bold and stylish critique, Cornell philosopher Kate Manne offers a radical new framework for understanding misogyny. Ranging widely across the culture, from Harvey Weinstein and the Brett Kavanaugh hearings to &“Cat Person&” and the political misfortunes of Elizabeth Warren, Manne&’s book shows how privileged men&’s sense of entitlement—to sex, yes, but more insidiously to admiration, care, bodily autonomy, knowledge, and power—is a pervasive social problem with often devastating consequences. In clear, lucid prose, Manne argues that male entitlement can explain a wide array of phenomena, from mansplaining and the undertreatment of women&’s pain to mass shootings by incels and the seemingly intractable notion that women are &“unelectable.&” Moreover, Manne implicates each of us in toxic masculinity: It&’s not just a product of a few bad actors; it&’s something we all perpetuate, conditioned as we are by the social and cultural mores of our time. The only way to combat it, she says, is to expose the flaws in our default modes of thought while enabling women to take up space, say their piece, and muster resistance to the entitled attitudes of the men around them. With wit and intellectual fierceness, Manne sheds new light on gender and power and offers a vision of a world in which women are just as entitled as men to our collective care and concern.
Entitlement: The Paradoxes of Property
by Joseph William SingerIn this important work of legal, political, and moral theory, Joseph William Singer offers a controversial new view of property and the entitlements and obligations of its owners. Singer argues against the conventional understanding that owners have the right to control their property as they see fit, with few limitations by government. Instead, property should be understood as a mode of organizing social relations, he says, and he explains the potent consequences of this idea. Singer focuses on the ways in which property law reflects and shapes social relationships. He contends that property is a matter not of right but of entitlement -- and entitlement, in Singer's work, is a complex accommodation of mutual claims. Property requires regulation -- property is a system and not just an individual entitlement, and the system must support a form of social life that spreads wealth, promotes liberty, , avoids undue concentration of power, and furthers justice. The author argues that owners have not only rights,but obligations as well -- to other owners, to nonowners, and to the community as a whole. Those obligations ensure that property rights function to shape social relationships in ways that are both just and defensible.
Entombed (Alexandra Cooper #7)
by Linda FairsteinAfter a lull of four years, the 'silk stocking rapist' is back at work on the Upper East side, but this time Assistant DA Alexandra Cooper and Detective Mike Chapman have perfect DNA evidence to work with. They also have a much older case to work on - a skeleton has been found entombed in the wall of a house Edgar Allan Poe once lived in, but it turns out to be a relatively modern murder - from 1978. On the day the discovery of this body is leaked to the press, Alex gets a call that the silk stocking rapist has struck again, this time fatally. Or has he? The m.o. isn't precisely the same as the others, and it transpires that the victim worked in Poe's old house in 1978. Are the cases linked or is someone trying to silence possible witness to a thirty-five-year-old murder? With consummate skill, Linda Fairstein has created an outstanding crime novel, layered with the history of New York, the roller-coaster everyday life of a prosecutor and culminating with a surprising but satisfying denouement.
Entomology & Palynology: Evidence From The Natural World (Solving Crimes With Science: Forensics #12)
by Maryalice WalkerWho committed the crime? When? Even the smallest of witnesses can tell scientists stories that will make or break a criminal case. Insects and pollen grains help forensic scientists bring criminals to justice. A suspect escapes a crime scene, leaving not a trace of evidence behind--except for the hind leg of a grasshopper, which helps convict him of murder. A thief runs through a cornfield, relieved that no one saw him commit the crime--unaware of the tiny grains of pollen stuck to his shirt. Plants and insects hold clues to guilt or innocence. Evidence from nature is all around us, silently and swiftly leaving fingerprints, unnoticed by even the most cunning of criminals.

Entrepreneurs Creating Educational Innovation: Case Studies From Australia
by Laura HougazThis book examines the contribution of entrepreneurs in diversifying and redefining the tertiary education landscape in Australia. The book explores how and why entrepreneurs have decided to enter a sector which, traditionally, has been predominated by public providers.The book focuses on ways in which entrepreneurs have identified and engaged with opportunities in tertiary education, and created new educational organisations that are also, at the same time, new businesses. In so doing, they have disrupted the tertiary education sector, and their actions are having a major impact on the society, economy and educational profile of Australia, and around the world.
Entrepreneurs and Insolvency Law: The Right to a Fresh Start
by Remigijus JokubauskasThis book analyses the discharge of debts procedure in relation to insolvent entrepreneurs, covering the protection of human rights under insolvency law.The process of discharge of debt is a key mechanism in insolvency law when addressing individual over-indebtedness.

Entrepreneurship in the Informal Economy: Models, Approaches and Prospects for Economic Development (Routledge Studies in Entrepreneurship #4)
by Mai Thi Thanh Thai Ekaterina TurkinaAlthough entrepreneurship in the informal economy occurs outside state regulatory systems, informal commercial activities account for an estimated 30% of economic activity around the world. Informal entrepreneurship goes unmonitored despite the fact that it significantly contributes to poverty reduction and economic development. As a result, the informal sector is open to unethical practices including corruption, worker exploitation, and natural environment abuse to name just a few. In the media, debates have formed around whether informal entrepreneurship should be assisted or legitimized. Hence, a deep understanding of the phenomenon is vitally important. This book is the first on the market to offer models and approaches to informal entrepreneurship as well as to its prospects for economic development. Offering an in-depth examination of informal entrepreneurship in many different countries, it reveals the motivations for engaging in entrepreneurship in the informal economy, characteristics of informal entrepreneurship, and informal entrepreneurs’ response to ethical issues. This volume illustrates the relationship between formal and informal economies and the conditions for the benefits of informal entrepreneurship to outweigh its disadvantages. And finally, it gives recommendations about when and how the informal economy can be formalized, which sectors should be formalized, and which ones can remain informal. This book offers much-needed guidance for stakeholders involved in economic development programs and scholars and entrepreneurs interested in the field of informal entrepreneurship as it is developing around the globe.

Entrepreneurship, Finance, Governance and Ethics
by Douglas Cumming Chris Mallin Robert CressyThis book covers topics that are at the intersection of business ethics and governance as they pertain to entrepreneurship and finance. It is the first focused work that links entrepreneurship and finance to governance and business ethics, rather than explore them separately. The chapters highlight with empirical data the strong interplay between ethics in organizational efficiency and financial activity, and the role of legal settings and governance in facilitating ethical standards. They discuss novel and timely topics, particularly given the recent financial crisis and discussions on regulating ethical behaviour. This book will encourage future scholars to investigate the role of law and governance in mitigating corruption and facilitating integrity in entrepreneurship and finance.
Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Sustainability
by Marcus WagnerThis book addresses the intersection of entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainability (EIS), presenting high-quality research illuminating the relationship between the three fields. The EIS nexus is particularly relevant from a European point of view given the focus of the European Commission on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability, as well as their prominent role within the European Union in general. Also, the rapid economic growth witnessed especially in the BRIC countries in recent years requires that firms reconcile sustainability aspects with profitability and innovation, and entrepreneurs are seen as key diffusers of these aims. Sustainability requires both radical and incremental innovation at many different levels (technology, product, process, system). In many cases, such innovations come from small and medium-sized enterprises and so the role of the entrepreneur is key to their success. The book is split into six sections. The first section examines the nexus in detail focusing on system-oriented connectivity between sustainability, innovation and entrepreneurship. The second section looks at how to nurture corporate entrepreneurship for sustainability; and the third considers "mature" industries such as automotives, chemicals and electronics and how sustainability aspects can be integrated into innovation process and strategy. The fourth section examines the nexus through the lens of developing countries in Africa. Sustainable entrepreneurship is identified as a hugely beneficial way to foster development. The fifth section of the book concentrates on SMEs; and finally the EIS nexus is approached from a network perspective and focuses on inter-organisational partnerships, which are often an important facilitator or spark for EIS initiatives.This book will prove to be essential for researchers in the EIS nexus and be of invaluable help to practitioners, governments and inter-governmental bodies attempting to encourage sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation.

Entry Denied: Controlling Sexuality at the Border
by Eithne LuibheidLesbians, prostitutes, women likely to have sex across racial lines, "brought to the United States for immoral purposes, " or "arriving in a state of pregnancy" -- national threats, one and all. Since the late nineteenth century, immigrant women's sexuality has been viewed as a threat to national security, to be contained through strict border-monitoring practices. By scrutinizing this policy, its origins, and its application, Eithne Luibheid shows how the U.S. border became a site not just for controlling female sexuality but also for contesting, constructing, and renegotiating sexual identity.Initially targeting Chinese women, immigration control based on sexuality rapidly expanded to encompass every woman who sought entry to the United States. The particular cases Luibheid examines -- efforts to differentiate Chinese prostitutes from wives, the 1920s exclusion of Japanese wives to reduce the Japanese-American birthrate, the deportation of a Mexican woman on charges of lesbianism, the role of rape in mediating women's border crossings today -- challenges conventional accounts that attribute exclusion solely to prejudice or lack of information. This innovative work clearly links sexuality-based immigration exclusion to a dominant nationalism premised on sexual, gender, racial, and class hierarchies.
Enveloped Lives: Caring and Relating in Lithuanian Health Care
by Rima PraspaliauskieneHanding envelopes containing money or gifts to doctors in public health care is often seen as a remnant of socialism that continues as an integral part of the Lithuanian health care system. Rima Praspaliauskiene uses the envelope to explore complex doctor-patient interactions that go beyond notions of the gift or the bribe. She reshapes our definition of corruption and encourages seeing these practices as emerging forms of care that impede the neoliberal health care reforms effected in the post-Soviet era. Enveloped Lives extends the analytical categories of gift, care, money, and transparency, shifting attention away from material transactions by prioritizing relations and practices that transcend economic rationality. At a time when health care reforms and the costs of care are being widely debated, this book is a contribution to the larger discussion about the ethics and future of health care around the world.
