PURPOSE: Many Swiss Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) have highly sophisticated Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) agendas embedded in corporate cultures that nurture a “raison d’etre” for CSR far beyond official policies or standards. Previous research culminated in the characterisation of this core logic as “L’EPOQuE” – the overarching SME business model making Switzerland, arguably, a hidden champion in CSR. This model is borne by a set of key features: the association of company ownership and government; the process of work socialisation; long-term relations to stakeholders; collaboration in networks; efficiency; and informal, flat organisations. This paper validates these idiosyncrasies and explores the model’s consistency with criteria of conventional business models and its power to be a prototype for CSR-oriented businesses. METHODOLOGY: The assessment on the consistency of L’EPOQuE as cluster of a conventional model is qualitative not quantitative. Accordingly, the key features of the Swiss model were attributed to the six key features of a popular business model. This allocation and the subsequent assessment of consistency was a matter of a two-stage Delphi process, firstly in a questionnaire, secondly, in a discussion.FINDINGS: The Delphi process encouraged slight modifications on the level of nomenclature of L'EPOQuE resulting in a revised version, L’EPOQuE 2.0. Further, it matched L'EPOQuE's features with key criteria of a conventional business model. The results show that the Swiss model is consistent with mainstream models. However, it found a specific niche and works best with social, long-termed relations and in networks, in the context of informal structures, abolished hierarchies, in convergence of business, mission and culture, and in many cases in oligopolistic markets.SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The way Swiss small businesses seem to combine psychological and economic features of trust with their business model, L’EPOQuE 2.0, provides a couple of advantages not only to them but also to societies they have “a social contract with”. Firstly, this establishes a certain ground level of trustworthiness among entities and induces incentives to imitate those practices. Secondly, seeing trust as an integrated part of business makes the concept of trust more tangible for standard economic analysis and approaches (e.g., the business case for CSR) without losing any of its facets or without making unrealistic or too idealistic assumptions.Seeing trust from that perspective, namely as a part of the “raison d’etre” or business model, can help to formulate hypothesis relative to reality and the levels of trust that can be expected under certain business, social, societal, and environmental circumstances. There may be further implications in other contexts. However, this seems to be especially important in the aftermath of financial crises and the irresponsibility of individuals that eroded trust in whole sectors. Thus, L’EPOQuE 2.0 as

In order to demonstrate that the crime of money laundering may lead to financial instability, this paper is going to use the economic theory of crime and address the issue as one deriving from information asymmetry. It is intended to demonstrate how the crime of corruption could trigger contagion effect for the entire financial system. Due to the lack of statistics on the topic, we are going to suggest an approach based on a risk matrix to assess the money laundering threats to the stability of the domestic or global financial system. By the end of this paper, we plan to have clearly shown how serious this issue is and the need for special attention to the collection of statistic data; monitoring focused on mapping the micro and macroprudential problems, both in the financial sector and the real economy sector; intrusive, skeptical, comprehensive, adapted, proactive, and conclusive oversight; regulation adjustments, as the case may be; and dissuasive punishment.

The notion of “corporate personhood” is a hot topic in contemporary legal scholarship, as well as in public discourse. Throughout its case law, the Supreme Court has struggled to conceptualize corporate entities and afford corporations rights under the United States Constitution. However, never has it been able to clearly articulate one unifying principle to explain corporate existence: “[The Supreme Court] has not grounded these expansions in a coherent concept of corporate personhood,” writes one prominent scholar. Indeed, “the doctrine of corporate personhood merely stands for the principle that a corporation can be accorded protections in order to protect the rights of the individuals associated through the corporate form.” One corporate right that the Court has firmly held its ground on, though, is the Fifth Amendment Right Against Self-Incrimination: Protection under the Self-Incrimination Clause has never been afforded to corporations. The Supreme Court has categorically denied incorporated entities and their agents Fifth Amendment immunity, and in doing so, it has largely expressed public policy concerns that holding otherwise would undermine the government’s interest in regulating, investigating, and prosecuting violations of white-collar crime. However, in 1999, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a group of former employees of a corporation could invoke Fifth Amendment protection under the Self-Incrimination Clause when subpoenaed to hand over corporate documents. The Second Circuit ruling directly contravened a similar case in the Eleventh Circuit, where that Court of Appeals came to the opposite conclusion in holding that former employees could not invoke Fifth Amendment protection when subpoenaed for corporate records. This Note seeks to advance a novel approach by which the Supreme Court may consider a coherent and consistent framework to resolve issues of “The Corporate Fifth Amendment” — in effect, this Note draws upon recent contemporary scholarship and offers a starting point for further academic literature on “corporate personhood” within the context of regulating white-collar crime. Part II will provide a brief overview of the approaches the Supreme Court has taken when considering corporate personhood and corporate civil rights. It will then describe the underlying nature and purpose of the Right Against Self-Incrimination, and outline major cases that have defined Corporate Fifth Amendment rights — or lack thereof — throughout the last century in constitutional jurisprudence. Next, Part III will analyze each of the three corporate theories historically employed by the Supreme Court, while offering a fourth, more functional approach to considering corporate civil rights, formulated by scholars Elizabeth Pollman and Martin Petrin.

This research examines the role of University Social Responsibility (USR) in gaining inclusion in the brand consideration set for private universities in Thailand. USR may impact directly, or through brand image. Marketing communications is also important; our model shows it having an impact on the relationship between USR activities and brand image. As a control, a number of specific university attributes are also included to see their impact on inclusion in the brand consideration set. A survey (n = 408) among Muthyomsuksa 6 students (M6 = high school final year) was used to assess the model. Results show that brand image has the largest impact on inclusion in the brand consideration set, but USR and university attributes also have smaller direct impact. Marketing communications does not have a direct impact. The biggest impact on brand image is from the university attributes, with a smaller impact from marketing communications. USR does not have its own impact on brand image, but the interaction of USR and marketing communications does have an impact. Basically, USR is useful, and has some small direct impact on inclusion in the brand consideration set. By itself, it does not affect brand image, but marketing communications makes USR activities known, so with good marketing communications, there is an impact.

The aim of this research is to use different economic variables to establish whether there are differences in economic performance between companies as a result of their inclusion in the sustainability index. This paper presents a one-dimensional exploratory study which compares the socially responsible companies included in the Spanish sustainability index, FTSE4Good Ibex, with the rest of the indices in the IBEX family. Parametric testing was used to study whether there are differences between the two types of companies. The results demonstrate that there are no statistically significant differences in economic performance between the two groups. Morover, it is confirmed that companies with good practices are as profitable as the rest, but it also demonstrates that the economic-financial behaviour is not better as a result of being in the sustainability index. The basic conclusion is that adhering to social and environmental standards does not harm a firm’s competitive position and, therefore, provide support for the development policy of responsible practices so that they become a tool to help improve the resilience of the economy and investor trust.

The main objective of this article is to describe the importance of relationship of various components of marketing environment for attaining competitive advantage in market. The term ‘market’ originates from the Latin noun "Marcatus" which means "a place where the buyers and sellers personally interact and finalise deals. However, it is not merely a place of exchange but an arrangement that provides an opportunity of exchanging goods and services for money." In this context, Philip Kotler has defined the term market as "an area for potential exchanges." Most of the successful companies have now realised that marketing presents a never ending series of opportunities and threats. The responsibility for identifying significant changes in the macro-environment falls on company’s marketers. The marketing manger’s major task is that of trend trackers and opportunity seekers.

The paper provides an overview of the development of public procurement (PP) rules in the EU and in selected international organisations. The EU rules were originally designed to foster competition and efficiency, and the dominant award criterion was the price. Over time, and in particular in the context of the “EU 2020” strategy, PP rules have been extended to address not only economic objectives, but also social and environmental goals as well as innovation aspects. As a result, such “strategic” elements of PP have in 2014 been legalised by the new EU Procurement Directives. However, as long as strategic PP remains an isolated policy, it will have only limited ramifications on Community-wide sustainability. Strategic PP should rather complement sustainability policies in their respective areas and should thus become an integral part of overall EU policies.

Originally published over two decades ago, ‘responsive regulation’ and its associated regulatory pyramid have become touchstones in the contemporary study and practice of regulation. Influential ideas and theories about regulation and governance have been developed in the intervening years, yet responsive regulation’s simple pyramidal model continues to resonate with policy-makers and scholars alike. This article seeks to advance the vision and utility of responsive regulation, by responding to several key drawbacks of the original design and by offering an update to the pyramidal model of regulation that lies at the centre of the theory. It argues for a ‘regulatory diamond’ as a strengthened, renewed model for responsive regulation. Rooted within the responsive regulation literature, the regulatory diamond integrates into the one schema both ‘compliance regulation' and ‘aspirational regulation’, thereby offering a more cohesive representation of the broad conception of regulation that underpins responsive regulation theory, and the limited but vital role of law within it.
