This study aims to determine the accountability of shareholders in an individual company in the perspective of Job Creation Law ( as known as Undang-undang Cipta Kerja) and related Government Regulations. This research is a normative juridical study which is based on library-literal research in order to obtain secondary data. Data obtained from legal principles, regulations, and books were analyzed using qualitative methods. This qualitative research produces descriptive-analytical data. The results showed that shareholders in an individual company are only responsible for the shares they own , as long as there are no exempt matters as mentioned in Article 153 J paragraph 2.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In bankruptcy legal system in Indonesia, the court can issue bankruptcy verdict without assess a company’s solvency condition, whether the company is solvent or insolvent. The provision of this law is very prone to be misused by creditors with bad faith. Insolvency test is able to protect debtors and to prevent the abuse of bankruptcy by malice creditors. This paper aims to analyze the legal protection of solvent companies from bankruptcy abuse in Indonesian legal system. By using normative and juridical approach, the results showed that the insolvency test can be included in the future amendment of Indonesian bankruptcy law. The implementation of insolvency test therefore is not administered outside the bankruptcy proceedings, but still in the respective bankruptcy proceedings. Insolvency test can be implemented by judges based on convincing evidences such as money report made by registered Public Accountant Office. A debtor, with bad faith, should not be eligible to get protection to avoid himself from bankruptcy with the insolvency test, although the debtor has good solvability.

International community has recognized the superiority and quality of original Indonesian products, as a result, some native Indonesian products are claimed by foreigners as their trademarks, for example Gayo Arabica Coffee and Toraja Coffee. Indonesia in providing protection is a bit behind in seeing the potential of its own region. The research problem is to examine the juridical claims of foreign companies against products with potential Indonesian Geographical Indications, and the settlement mechanism based on Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications. Research method used is normative juridical with a statute approach. Claim of foreign companies against products with the potential for Indonesian Geographical Indications is the use of Intellectual Property Rights without rights, based on the MUI Fatwa decision, this is an injustice that is unlawful. The legal settlement mechanism for foreign brand claims against products with potential Indonesian Geographical Indications based on Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Marks and Geographical Indications is dependent on the violation of the claim, whether the party making the claim is in good faith or not. If at the time a sign is applied for registration as a Geographical Indication, a sign is used in good faith, the party can still use it for a period of two years, but if there is no good faith, it can take the mechanism of filing a lawsuit in the form of an application for compensation against the User of the Geographical Indication without rights.

Spirituality at work is increasingly attracting attention in management research, especially in the Anglo-Saxon and Asian contexts. However, for the German context, we know little about spirituality at work from scientific research, and findings and results from other sources are broadly scattered. Using a mixed-methods approach, we collect first findings on employer’s perception of spirituality at work and specific HRM practices in German workplaces. We analyse daily newspapers and related best-practice publications and conduct a small-scale qualitative employer survey in Northern Germany. To structure the results, we propose three main impact perspectives on spirituality in the workplace (workforce diversity, employee needs, and employer capabilities) as well as different employer stances in dealing with these three perspectives, from faith-avoiding to faith-based (Miller & Ewest, 2015). In all three perspectives and stances, companies already implement different HR activities under different expectations and perceptions. Some German organisations already address the needs perspective by room-related tools, working time-related tools, food-related offers, and instruments that facilitate coordination and cooperation in multi-religious settings. Employer stances differ concerning religious and non-religious spirituality. While employers view nonreligious spirituality in the company as generally positive (faith-friendly), they are often sceptical of religious spirituality at work (faith-avoiding or faith-safe).

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Corporate governance is not a legal term. It is a term that refers broadly to the rules, processes, or laws by which businesses are operated, regulated, and controlled. It has traditionally specified the rules of business decision making that apply to the internal mechanisms of companies. Corporate governance mechanisms have the purpose of monitoring and controlling the management of corporations resulting in more effective management and to enhance shareholder value. The aim of this paper is to examine the duty of company directors to act in good faith and in the best interest of the company by way of making reference to the Malaysian experience. This paper adopts a legal library based research methodology focusing mainly on primary and secondary legal sources. The paper concludes that although directors must exercise their discretion in good faith, the fiduciary duty to act in good faith in the interests of the company is a subjective duty. There is no breach where the directors act in what they honestly believe to be in the interests of the company. The courts are generally reluctant to override the business judgment of directors. The paper recommends that courts should adopt a flexible approach in dealing with directors’ duty to act in good faith and in the best interest of the company. The erosion of a director’s obligation to act in good faith does not bode well for the modern corporation and the economy, and a meaningful interpretation of “not in good faith” is necessary to help halt the erosion.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the Telenor customer complaints crisis triggered on the company Facebook site in August 2012. More specifically, the paper focusses on how friends and enemies of a company interact, and how faith-holders serve as crisis communicators in a rhetorical sub-arena that opens up on Facebook. Design/methodology/approach – The study is based on a textual analysis of 4,368 posts from the Telenor Facebook site, and an interview with the senior digital manager of Telenor. Findings – Not only current and previous customers but also those from rival telephone companies were active in the Facebook sub-arena. The customers complaining about the company services were met not only with the response of Telenor, but also with counter-attacks from faith-holders acting in defense of Telenor. However, these faith-holders were using defensive response strategies, while Telenor used accommodative strategies. Research limitations/implications – Organizational crises need to be seen as a complex set of communication processes, including the many voices that start communicating from different positions, and taking into account not only the response strategies of the organization but also the response strategies applied by supportive emotional stakeholders. In practice, faith-holders need to be monitored, as they may prove useful as “crisis communicators.” Originality/value – The paper provides insights into an under-investigated area of crisis communication: the strategies of faith-holders acting as “crisis communicators” defending a company and themselves against attacks from negative voices on social media.

The paper investigates the Shariah compliant and conventional portfolios in financial settings of Pakistan during the period 2009-2019 by using Markowitz Minimum-Variance (MMV) framework. Using daily excess returns, we first investigate the impact of Shariah screening criteria on stock returns then we evaluate the overall risk of Shariah compliant and conventional portfolios. The results reveal negative impact of Shariah screening criteria on stock returns’ cross-section. Further, unconstrained portfolio investment strategy outperforms faithbased investing. Finally, the findings of the study suggest that induction guidelines employed in PSX for companies to be listed in Shariah compliant index needs to be reviewed to practically attain the objectives of Islamic moral economy such as avoiding Gharar (uncertainty) and Maysir (speculation). More importantly formulate a criterion that truly reflects Islamic principles of investing. In addition, more could also be done to educate investors about Shariah compliant stocks and enhance the projection of Shariah compliant index. Secondly, our study also indicates that investors that prefer faith based investing should be aware of the costs of faith investment in PSX. Investors can encounter additional costs while investing in Shariah compliant stocks. Moreover, these additional costs are driven high risk and low performance of faith portfolios.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Purpose – Branding in faith-based consumer markets, in which marketing practices, religion, and consumption intersect, is largely unexplored. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how brands integrate religious concerns into their strategies through Halal branding. The central logic of authors’ view is that branding applied in a particular consumer market (i.e., Muslim) could enrich dominant (Western) branding theory. Design/methodology/approach – Although challenging, qualitative research offers a valuable lens in international marketing research in allowing researchers to study organizations and contexts in their natural settings, enabling a more holistic approach, instead of imposing one’s culturally informed pre-conceptions (Boyacigiller and Adler, 1991). In this regard, a multiple case study approach considering Halal cosmetic brands is used. A replication logic is applied in interpreting the data. Findings – Holistic branding is a broader concept than what mainstream theory acknowledges; brand attributes go beyond the functional and emotional, offering insights into a spiritual dimension. The proposed model identifies attributes that reflect the brand’s worldview and contribute to holistic branding: spiritual ethos and belief system, sustainable and eco-ethical philosophy, wholesomeness and inclusiveness. Research limitations/implications – This exploratory research represents the initial step for faith-based/Halal branding; the discussion is confined to the cases under study. The results are not conclusive and require further empirical research to validate their broader applicability. Practical implications – The study highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to branding of faith-based products. The Halal market (cosmetics and toiletries) may be attractive to companies that seek to widely develop products targeting faith-based Muslim consumer markets. Originality/value – The study contributes to an area of growing concern from an academic point of view (i.e. Halal branding) by proposing to add a spiritual dimension to holistic branding. Several questions remain and should stimulate further research. Hence, researchers would be able to understand more clearly the meaning of the religious environment and the impact that environmental forces are likely to exert on business decisions.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis explores the intersection between business and religion from a legal perspective. Initial discussions take their cue from classical law and religion scholarship on the rights of autonomy and self-direction of ecclesiastical entities to organise their internal religious affairs. As a general matter, religious internal affairs include areas that range from the self-determination to carry out worship services and religious teachings as from the right to settle property disputes, or appoint spiritually qualified ministers without intrusion by state interference. Seen it this way, these scholarly debates have assessed and explained that there are some areas of ecclesiastical governance that the law recognises to be the sole business of churches, and not of governments.
In light of this, to think of the relation between religion and ‘business’ in a legal sense, this thesis argues, is first of all to think of the role of religious freedom in preserving a zone of legal autonomy where ecclesiastical entities can freely express their option of a religious way of life. This is what scholars on both sides of the Atlantic call ‘corporate religious freedom’. At any rate, and church autonomy apart, the term ‘corporate’ might bear several other legal meanings that keep the content of the institutional dimension of religious freedom in flux. For instance, US legal doctrine has used this term to describe a recent trend where courts moved initially to protect churches and, from there, to recognising the religious freedom rights of another corporate entity: the for-profit company. What bears note here is that at the centre of this ‘corporate/business’ turn in law and religion are not so much church-affiliated entities as freestanding business enterprises that mix religion with an entirely profit-oriented governance structure and mindset.
It is against this background that a central aim for this thesis is to introduce an evolutionary pattern of corporate religious freedom. One in which, if this right was originally designed to maximise church autonomy in the organisation of religious affairs (read, business), it is now stretching beyond traditional houses of worship to maximise the business autonomy of commercial enterprises in secular commerce. In addition, this study asks, and attempts to answer, the difficult questions: is this ‘business turn’ in law and religion also emerging in Europe? And if so, what implications will this have on conventional legal understandings of ‘the religious’ and ‘the secular’ under European law?

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This chapter turns to the world of social media and how it shapes Christian identities in Kenya, including Juliani's. It explores how even urban churches are tapping into such media to engage youth on matters of faith and lived sociocultural issues. Many Kenyan youth get access to the internet and such social-media platforms as Twitter and Facebook through their cell phones. Some service providers, such as Safaricom (the largest cell-phone company in Kenya), offer Facebook as part of their already installed applications for subscribers. Through mobile phone-based access to these kinds of platforms, Kenyan youth are able to virtually enter the wider world beyond their immediate environs, see life or constructions of it in other locations, imagine how it relates or contrasts or both with their own lives, and engage with it either by making meaning of their own lives or constructing it as they choose.

AbstractIn many studies of young adults, prosocial attitudes and behaviors are on the agenda. The often reported decline in civic engagement among young adults is generally presented as a concern. Prosocial attitudes and behaviors have been linked to aspects of well-being; high scores on some prosocial attitude indicators are seen as a sign of positive adjustment. Prosocial attitudes and behaviors are also key in discussions of civic engagement, volunteering, and altruism – aspects, in a sense, of the well-being of a society, and they are also of interest in discussions of religion. Commonly, a link between prosociality and religion has been indicated.In this chapter, we bring together findings from the research project Young Adults and Religion in Global Perspective (YARG) for an overview of prosocial attitudes and behaviors among young adult university students. We focus particularly on civic engagement and volunteering. Based on survey data, we first briefly explore who expresses prosocial attitudes and behaviors and the values connected to prosocial behaviors. This perspective offers only tentative answers. For a more in-depth view, we continue by exploring the data from the Faith Q-Sort. Finally, we zoom in on two examples, Turkey and Sweden, and compare the views on civic engagement and volunteering among young adults in these two contexts.

This chapter discusses the revelation of Facebook in September 2016, wherein advertising accounts based in Russia had precisely targeted advertisement at segments of American voters with propaganda intended to undermine support for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. It examines how the speculation from 2016 showed the depth of Russian meddling in American democracy, confirming the fact that Cambridge Analytica was involved with Russia. It also points out the contribution and profit of Facebook from the erosion of democratic practice and norms in the United States and elsewhere. The chapter looks at a report in the Washington Post in November 2016, which states that Russian-based organizations and companies had seeded Facebook with disinformation and intended to undermine faith in American democracy. It considers how tradition of accountability and transparency does not matter to Facebook.

When President Kananjar “Kan” Shivaram Shetty bought the paint business Omega Industries in 2000, little did he know it would grow into a leading global company at the forefront of innovation with commercial and industrial coatings and paintings. At the time, Omega Industries had been operating at a loss of $200,000. However, it was Kan's faith in the business and willingness to learn the secrets of his trade that resulted in Omega Industries substantially expanding their operations through the acquisition with Apco Coatings, securing major contracts with the government and entering new profitable sectors. Today, the company has 200-250 project-based staff across Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Malaysia, UAE, and Texas in the United States and has manufactured 600 different products. This chapter dives into Kan's background, the business challenges he faced, and how he was able to accelerate Omega Industries' growth into a global innovative company.

Chapter 6 addresses Franklin’s inherently sociable nature, which led him to join many organizations such as the Masons in Philadelphia. He founded the American Philosophical Society, and the Junto, out of which emerged the Library Company. These institutions were based on high-minded discussion of ideas and provisions for public health as well as ordinary efforts to improve Philadelphia’s physical conditions. The chapter outlines the founding of the College of Philadelphia, the Union Fire Company, and the Pennsylvania Hospital, as well as the improvement of sidewalks, installation of streetlights, and the creation of a private militia. It discusses Franklin’s commitment to life in Philadelphia—another connection to Protestantism which started as an urban faith and in much of its early development depended on institutions and churches located in cities.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
It appears that somewhat of a dichotomy exists in many contemporary organisations with respect to the question of investment in information and particularly in information technology (IT). On the one hand, discussions of the new information-based economy and the promise of the new e-business domain leads inevitably to enormous faith being placed in IT, or perhaps more accurately, on the critical, appropriate utilisation of IT to deliver business benefits. Such faith is illustrated by quotes such as: “Across all industries, information and the technology that delivers it have become critical, strategic assets for business firms and their managers” (Laudon and Laudon, 2000). But such enthusiasm is tempered by another view or concern that IT is not delivering on its promises, that it is “oversold and undelivered” (Earl, 1994), and that demonstrating the business value of IT investment is difficult in many instances. This concern that managers do not perceive that they are deriving value for money when it comes to IT investments is troubling when information and IT are often presented as the very backbone of the new economy. Such cynicism is reflected in quotes such as: “There are many different ways to ruin a company. Speculation is the fastest, IT is the most reliable” (Kempis et al., 1999).

Every email that originates from outside of an organization must go through a series of firewalls and gateways before reaching the intended recipient inside the organization. During this journey, each email may get scanned for possible viruses or other malicious programming codes. In some cases, the e-mail may also receive a score based on the possibility of spam content. On any stage of this processing email can be quarantined, or moved to a spam folder for the future possible analysis or simply deleted. Understandably, such complex structure helps secure the company’s internal infrastructure, however, e-mails have become an important tool in marketing for many e-commerce organizations and if marketing e-mails do not get to their intended receiver, the sending company will be disadvantaged. Therefore, from the point of view of the sender of an e-mail, it is important to understand the faith of the e-mail that was sent and whether it was received as intended. In this case study, we describe an e-mail bounce back system that was developed by a major e-commerce company in order to understand whether its e-mail based marketing was successful in delivering the intended message to its customers. In addition to the describing the development of the system, security and privacy issues are also discussed.

Williams, Ian. "“A STATION ABOVE THAT OF ANGELS”: THE VISION OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION WITHIN PLURALISTIC SOCIETIES IN THE THOUGHT OF FETHULLAH GÜLEN - A STUDY OF CONTRASTS BETWEEN TURKEY AND THE UK". In Muslim World in Transition: Contributions of the Gülen Movement. Leeds Metropolitan University Press, 2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.55207/jmbu4194.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Gülen cites ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib as saying, ‘... if a person’s intellect dominates his or her desire and ferocity, he or she rises to a station above that of angels ...’. Both historically as well as in modern contexts Muslim education is not characterised by uniformity but rather by a plurality of actors, institutions, ideas and political milieus. The two central questions are: What is required to live as a Muslim in the present world? Who is qualified to teach in this time? The debate over the nature and purpose of Islamic education is no recent phenomenon. It has been conducted for the past two centuries throughout the Islamic world: the transmission of both spiritual and empirical knowledge has always been dependent upon the support of religious, social and political authorities. Based on fieldwork in Turkey and the UK amongst schools associated with the Gülen move- ment, examination of national government policies and on readings of contemporary Muslim educationalists, this paper seeks to examine the ideals of Fethullah Gülen on contemporary Islamic and religious education. It reports critically on the contribution of these schools to social cohesion, inter-religious dialogue and common ambitions for every child and student. We should accept the fact that there is a specific way of being Muslim, which reflects the Turkish understanding and practices in those regions [which] stretch from Central Asia to the Balkans. [Ocak 1996 79] Islam, a rich and strong tradition in many diverse societies is both a living faith and in every generation has been the means of enabling Muslims to address social developments, justice, and both corporate and individual questions of identity and ethics. Drawing on the Qur’an, Hadith, Sunnah and fiqh new Islamic social movements have constantly formed fresh public spaces in which new identities and lifestyles could emerge. Some of the finest expressions of Islam have occurred in the most pluralist religio-social circumstances when intellectual dis- course, educational achievements and social harmony have flourished. Amongst contempo- rary Islamic thinkers who are professedly concerned to interpret the sources and their practice in an “Islamically correct” manner is Fethullah Gülen [b. 1938], the spiritual father of what is probably the most active Turkish-Islamic movement of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. In considering this movement however, one soon realizes that Fethullah Gülen is neither an innovator with a new and unique theology nor a revolutionary.

Moreover, this is a de-centralised polymorphic social movement.
