• Environmental, Social and Governance Key Performance Indicators From a Capital Market Perspective

Environmental, social and governance factors are becoming increasingly significant for comprehensive firm valuation. These factors are, however, of a qualitative nature and therefore difficult to express in numerical figures. Consequently, disclosure and the relevancy thereof to investors are problematic. This article analyzes a breakthrough instrument which facilitates the quantification and representation of such data against the background of international institutional efforts aiming to promote standardized qualitative reporting for extra-financial information.

• The Emergence of Portfolio Restructuring in Japan

The authors examine the role of stakeholders as an influence in the practice of portfolio restructuring. They contend that with the presence and creation of new legal arrangements and regulations, portfolio restructuring achieved widespread usage, but only when the initiatives were consistent with the interests of the most powerful social actors in a firm.

• Roles and Rules: Ambiguity, Experimentation and New Forms of Stakeholderism in Germany**/Rollen Und Regeln: Ambiguität, Experimente Und Neue Formen Der Sozialpartnerschaft in Deutschland

An opposition between social cooperation (stakeholderism) and Neoliberal market solutions paralyzes political and scientific debate on reform in Germany today. This essay rejects that opposition by recasting the way in which each of the categories is understood. Pressure to become more flexible in many areas of work and organizational life has not given rise to a blanket embrace of "the market" on a local level. Instead, it has induced widespread experimentation with alternative forms of workplace and firm governance that involve continual and collaborative recomposition of stakeholder roles in and among firms and social actors. In other words, stakeholder governance is not disintegrating or giving way to the market in Germany. It is being redefined. Experimentation with roles and rules...
