Corporate Truth is a full-length creative work set within the thriller genre and it is the first book in the series, The Truth Files. It follows Justin Truth’s climb up the corporate ladder in a large multinational corporation. Justin is the personification of the corporate psychopath; he will do anything to anyone to further his career. Justin has an even darker side, he is also a serial killer, murdering the innocent and covering his tracks by making the murders look like freak accidents. While Justin goes about his nasty business, four people are out to expose him. Ross Smith, a hardened detective, has linked together the murders that Justin has committed and is hot on his trail, yet no one except Ross believes these freak accidents are actually the work of a serial killer. Two of Justin’s co-workers, Montana Cruz and Steve Baker, u...
The effects of corporate taxation on firm behavior have been extensively discussed in the neoclassical model of firm behavior which abstracts from agency problems. As emphasized by the corporate governance literature, corporate investment behavior is however crucially influenced by diverging interests between shareholders and managers. We set up an agency model and analyze the crucial issue in corporate taxation of whether the normal return on investment should be exempted from taxation. The findings suggest that the divergence of interests may be intensified and welfare reduced if the corporate tax system exempts the normal return on investment from taxation. The optimal system may well use the full return on investment as a tax base. Hence, tax systems such as an Allowance for Corporate Equity (ACE) or a Cash-flow tax do not have the...
Numerous studies have explored the relationship between corporate governance and corporate financial performance - see Zahra and Pearce (1989) for a review. In contrast, only a few studies have looked at corporate governance and corporate failure (Daily and Dalton, 1994a, 1994b; Gales and Kesner, 1994; Sheppard, 1994b; Hambrick and D'Aveni, 1992; Chaganti, Mahajan and Sharma, 1985). It is surprising that more studies have not examined the governance-failure relationship, especially when I consider the often equivocal results of the governance-performance literature. Such equivocal findings may, in part, be attributable to problems in the definition and measurement of performance. In this regard, corporate failure can be seen to provide a more useful measure of a company's ultimate performance.
By looking at companies at two extremes -...
The media can make or break a reputation. This being said, it seems to be essential for companies, governments and institutions to pay specific attention to corporate media management in their daily operations. However, this thesis shows that they often neglect to pay adequate attention to corporate media management. This is primarily due to the complexity of the corporate media process and corporate media management and the scope of a possible media impact. This thesis argues that corporate media management should be an integral part of operations in companies, governments and institutions. This would lift corporate media management to the level of ‘governance’. But, how do you set up corporate media governance and corporate media management in such a way that organizations are able to strengthen their grip on the corporate media pro...

Corporate sustainability reporting and the measurement of environmental, social, economic and governance performance are discussed in the paper. These are necessary tools of top management for the company strategy choice of sustainable success. In doing so, the relationship between company performance and these factors is important, therefore, the need to develop the modern and advanced methods and metrics to identify them mainly based on the quantification with the possibility of utilization of information and communication technology. This is discussed in the paper.
Large corporate multinationals are a driving force behind corporate citizenship today around the globe. But their motivations for doing so and the influence of other actors vary significantly depending on the regional context. The environment and concerns about global climate change now top the list of corporate citizenship issues in all nations. Countries share concern over a number of other issues such as product safety and working conditions, but the priority given to other issues varies depending on geography.
