The escalating demand of stakeholders’ interests in social performance has put pressure on corporations to embark on social responsibility reporting and practices in order to gratify the demands and to gain public support. Some organizations have already responded well to this perspective, either by publishing a separate report regarding their social activities, or by providing such information in their annual report or on their web site. The aim of this study is to better understand the relationship between CSR and financial performance in Indian context. Previous research on the relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial performance has largely been …

Peter Drucker (1986), in “Management: Tasks, responsibilities, and practices” states that business enterprises and public-service institutions, are organs of society which do not exist for their own sake, but to fulfil a specific social purpose and to satisfy need of society, community, or individual. To achieve the above objectives, managers of these institutions must plan, control and make decisions about the resources entrusted to their care. A key element of efficient organizational decision making is to use reliable information, both operational and managerial accounting data for analysis and decision support. This can be achieved by using activity-based costing (ABC) method. …

Рассматриваются различные определения цифровизации. Разграничиваются понятия оцифровки и цифровизации. Характеризуются основные направления цифровизации. Отмечаются преимущества цифровизации, так называемые цифровые дивиденды, проявляющиеся прежде всего в трех областях: ускорение экономического роста, рост числа рабочих мест, повышение качества услуг. Вместе с тем обращается внимание на проблемы, возникающие в условиях цифровизации, которые можно разделить на две группы - «цифровой разрыв» и наличие сопутствующих рисков (чрезмерной концентрации, усиления противоречий между высоко- и низкоквалифицированным трудом, угроза ослабления демократических начал в управлении). Обозначаются необходимые условия для эффективного внедрения цифровых технологий и получения «цифровых дивидендов».

For the last two decades, board diversity is increasingly considered as a significant mechanism of good corporate governance. Thus, the question arises whether a heterogeneously or rather a homogenously composed board contributes to the efficiency of a company’s management and monitoring. Especially national and international regulators and standard setters consider board diversity to be associated with an increasing firm performance. Therefore, the economic impact of board diversity aspects needs to be investigated empirically. This study examines the relationship between diversity within management boards and corporate performance for the German two-tier system by presenting a comprehensive literature analysis as well as …

Выполнен анализ цифровизации с экономико-теоретических позиций с учетом предпосылок ее возникновения, особенностей генезиса и форм проявления. Теоретический анализ показал, что цифровизация социальных и экономических процессов, несмотря на часто приписываемый ей революционный характер, может быть названа революцией лишь отчасти. В экономической теории фактическая проработка цифровизации активно велась с середины прошлого века. Показано, что, несмотря на отсутствие общепринятой концепции цифровой экономики, цифрового сектора экономики и т. д., все необходимые теоретические элементы и конструкции для их четкого специфицирования уже имеются. Вопрос лишь в том, чтобы попытаться взглянуть на них под «нестандартным» углом зрения. Именно эта попытка предпринята нами
