Corporate Social Responsibility has gained increasing attention in both academic and business literature and companies find themselves under increasing pressure, both from a legal and social perspective, to take into account social and environmental issues. This is why we notice more and more initiatives to implement CSR in business strategies and to improve transparency through the publication of annual CSR reports and rankings. Our analysis on distinct industries shows differing relations between CSR and financial performance. This brings us to the conclusion that the relation depends strongly on unobservable industry- and firm-specific effects and the businesses internal and external environment. Furthermore, our findings suggest that CSR initiatives tend to be cyclical, depending on the efficiency of the firm, and lead to the belief that the relation between CSR and financial performance tends to take the form of a virtuous circle. ····· 10361133112

Maybe sustainability is a mirage, which is foolish to pursue. Maybe we should rather regard sustainable development as a journey, instead of a goal Anyway there is a need for an extended sustainability theory. This work is designed to contribute with practical experience to such a theory. I also think that the managers` need for measurements of the sustainability performance is real. This thesis suggests an index for monitoring. The point is not to have an unquestionable accurate measurement, but to capture a language and a learning about sustainability impact that can be fruitful in business development towards sustainability. ····· 10361133018

To gain a competitive edge in the market, motivation of the human capital is a must. Universalistic theories of motivation were proposed to guide the managers in the concerned field. Major approaches that have led to understanding of motivation are Maslow`s need-hierarchy theory, Herzberg`s two- factor theory, Vroom`s expectancy theory, Adams` equity theory and others. According to Maslow, employees have five levels of needs (1943): physiological, safety, social, ego, and self- actualizing needs. Herzberg`s work categorized motivation into two factors: motivators and hygiene factors (1959). Different views on motivation are given by various people.

Evaluation of these objectives, and hence performance is essential for many reasons such as monitoring and control, diagnosis, improvement, learning and decision-making. Performance measures as descriptors of performance are the key tools in this evaluation process. However, the multidimensionality of performance, the inter-dependencies among performance measures and the pursuit to manage many dimensions of performance complicate this process. The uncertainty regarding objectives satisfaction adds further complexity to the evaluation process. To deal with these issues, a value-risk based PMS is developed. The proposed system consists of a conceptual model and a methodological framework. The former integrates consistently the concepts relevant to objectives, activities and risks in one framework and conceptualizing the idea of value and risk based performance management, while the latter transforms the expectations and fears of stakeholders into value and risk indicators respectively for informed decision making. ····· 10361132944

By using their power of speech, reach and influence, companies in the creative industries are able to address sustainability topics in a way that inspires other industries and people to engage in sustainability. Sanne gives a good insight in the challenges that SMEs are facing in sustainable entrepreneurship and the reporting and promoting of it. I agree with her statement that businesses should start acknowledging their efforts in sustainability, making this a topic of conversation to their stakeholders. I believe that when businesses in the creative industry start operating in a sustainable way, and start communicating about it, it may motivate and inspire a lot of people to join them on the path to a more sustainable world. Since one of Sanne s conclusions is that part of the reason entrepreneurs don t engage in - or communicate about - sustainability, is a lack of knowledge, I sincerly recommend creative entrepreneurs read this thesis to gain more insights into their own possible achievements.` ····· 10361132937

During my qualitative field research in Australia and New Zealand I extensively interviewed twenty franchisees from four different food retail franchise systems. I explored areas of their franchisee/franchisor relationship focusing on the central critical aspect of trust.

Even though internal auditing is generally not mandatory for companies to set up, its importance these days has increased phenomenally due to the fact that it assists companies to systematically evaluate and improve their risk management, internal controls and governance processes. Internal auditors are therefore expected to be independent and objective in order to provide unbiased and reliable reports, and to win the trust and confidence of people though admittedly, independence and objectivity are not easy to achieve in reality since the internal auditors are employees of the companies they audit and report on. This study critically investigates if independence and objectivity can truly be achieved in practice by employing a case study of the Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM).
