In contemporary society, corporate communications are becoming an increasingly important and significant component of management. This field includes not only building an external and internal image of a company but also interacting with stakeholders and achieving business aims. This research aims to define the potential and features of company’s top officials (owners, CEOs, presidents, and other top managers) involvement in corporate communications and representing a business. It is based on the content analysis of corporate websites of the first 100 international companies from the Forbes list. The study demonstrated that most (62%) world successful firms involve their owners, CEOs, and top managers in corporate communications as speakers. At the same time, business owners appear on corporate websites less often (only 2%). CEOs engage in such communications in 47% of cases. Most often, other authorized representatives are speakers of companies (51%). A descriptive analysis of topics helped to distinguish the most common types of texts: formal ideological speeches, corporate news, corporate blog texts, and personalized corporate storytelling. Most texts are posted on corporate websites in the News chapter (28%). This suggests that news as a genre may be the most appropriate form of communication on behalf of management. Thus, some recommendations are proposed regarding the participation of top officials as speakers. From a practical point of view, companies can be guided by the outcomes of this research when deciding to engage their leaders in corporate communications.

Findings Results showed that CQ of the SME owner has a positive effect on firm performance (FP) through the mediating role of EO. Also, CQ of the SME owner was found to have a direct effect on FP, thus asserting its importance as a valuable competency that SME owners need to cultivate when operating in a multicultural environment. Practical implications Skills of the top managers greatly influence the choices and decisions they make, which in turn impact the effectiveness of their organizations.

Cover Up

The increasing appetite for risk developed by companies as well as their investors lead to economic practices which from the auditor’s point of view should have raised questions in regard to the company’s ability to maintain as a going concern. There was also the lack of appropriate legislation which in the end allowed for a cover up of major exposures to risk and in the end for a trust put in fragile financial systems. Evaluating a company as a going concern the auditor shall have to perform not only rigorous valuations of the company’s exposure to risks but also make sure he adapts its audit procedures to the assessed risks. Appearances are not to be trusted when it comes to an audit of financial statements, as in the end besides the obvious professional role it has, the auditor should also play the role of a fortune-teller or else be prepared to face the law for his negligence.

The aim of this study is to make a specific proposal regarding the capacity of trade unions to represent the interests of all workers in company restructuring operations. We will particularly refer to the case of companies that do not have workers’ representatives; when a restructuring is going to happen in a company, the Spanish Law requires a period of bargaining; and it is difficult to share that workers, in an individual point of view, can bargain in name of other workers; even if he/she has been elected for this occasion. The method used in this work is focussed in a comparison between the rules trade unions have to negotiate and the treatment of trade unions as representatives of workers in the field of the conflict and the strike. El propósito de este trabajo es hacer una propuesta concreta respecto de la capacidad del sindicato para representar los intereses de todos los trabajadores en el marco de las reorganizaciones de ámbito empresarial, independientemente de la afiliación de aquellos; especialmente nos vamos a referir al caso de las empresas que no cuenten con representantes de los trabajadores. Cuando una empresa comienza una reestructuración en su seno, la ley española exige la apertura de un período de consultas. Parece difícil compartir que los trabajadores, individualmente considerados, puedan negociar en el nombre de otros trabajadores; incluso aunque él/ella haya sido elegido para la ocasión. El método que se utiliza en este trabajo se dirige a comparar las reglas jurídicas sobre la legitimación legal para negociar en la empresa, con el tratamiento deparado a los sindicatos como representantes de los trabajadores para actuar en el marco del conflicto colectivo y la huelga.

To move closer to achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a change from the traditional paradigm of the linear economy towards the circular economy is of paramount importance. One of the key promoters of this shift is servitization, which involves a shift from a purely transactional product-selling model to customer satisfaction through providing the service inherent to the product. Although servitization is a promising field for academics and practitioners, its adoption faces different challenges and drivers that need to be understood and addressed. A latent issue is the lack of common language around the topic. In the present study, a systematic literature review has been conducted to allow the identification and classification of the main challenges and drivers. Based on the findings, we propose a classification framework that identifies, classifies, and groups common challenges and drivers to different areas of knowledge on servitization through intensity heat maps. From a managerial point of view, our results highlight the importance of embracing servitization as a collective effort from the different departments within a company.
