Business Giving,the Tsunami and Corporates as Rock Stars: Some Implications for Arts Funding?     

Jenny Harrow  Paul Palmer  Mariana Bogdanova 《Cultural Trends》2006,15(4):299-323

Financial and cultural aspects of corporate giving by UK and non-UK companies in response to the December 2004 South Asia Tsunami disaster are explored in this article. Literatures on corporate giving rationales, concepts of disaster and donor activity in disasters provide an underpinning. The article seeks to make connections between this high profile if short-lived business giving and the funding of the arts that is sought from business; and to draw tentative lessons for arts funding when seeking business support. The giving accounts in the wake of the Tsunami from a non-probability sample1 1. A probability sample is one in which each person (or company in this case) in the population has an equal chance (probability) of being selected. In a non-probability sample some people (in this case, companies) have a greater chance than others of being selected. For this study the availability of public information on the companies was the deciding factor on being selected. View all notes of 56 UK companies and 16 non-UK companies were examined. Reported online to the UK charity Business in the Community, these accounts were accessed in February 2005 and scrutinized thematically. Concurrently, company financial profiles to accompany giving figures were constructed. Although linkages between donation levels and financial performance were lacking, emerging themes included the role of employees, influencing company giving and creating a climate of expectation of firms' contributions. These developments may have important implications for business funding for the arts, where leading philanthropists are prominent as individuals in the giving landscapes; but employees' collective involvement is not marked. Alternatively, cultivation of employees as would-be donors, indirectly via their firms, may be a more secure, if lower level route to funding for some arts organizations than dependence on high profile business leaders. The article considers alternative scenarios for company giving in disaster contexts, including as a sustained and lasting giving theme or as company support as a ‘one-off’ event, rock-star style. The likely development of employee power as a key element in company giving is explored; and its wider meanings for funding in arts settings, (where the giver as rock star heroine/hero is also prominent) are considered.  相似文献

王家宏  蔡朋龙 《南京体育学院学报(社会科学版)》2019,2(6):1-4

全国性单项运动协会改革必须坚持“独立社团法人实体”的目标取向。构筑“政社”新型关系，需要将单项运动协会定位于均衡公序与私序的公共法人组织，并借由法人治理结构架构、国有资产分离与调配、权利义务的明晰 ，构建“权责明确、制衡有效、产权清晰、依法自治”的现代独立化法人自治组织。当前改革的实践，已进入攻坚阶段的抵触期，体制机制的增量改革已到临界点，需要通过制度的增量改革突破路径的“锁定”状态。法治是单项运动协会的组织架构、管理体制、运行机制等“破旧立新”的根本保障，推动当前单项运动协会社团法人实体化改革向纵深方向发展需要法治的保障。基于“依法治体”与“体育深化改革”的现实需要，提出全国性单项运动协会社团法人实体化改革与发展的法治化进路。  相似文献   

Sport as a vehicle for health promotion: A shared value example of corporate social responsibility     

《Sport Management Review》2019,22(1):126-141

Professional sport organizations are increasingly encouraging physical and mental wellness by developing and deploying health promotion activities via socially responsible programming and messaging. However, delivery, deployment, and scope issues, all of which limit observable and sustainable impacts on health promotion and behavior, encumber many socially responsible programs. The authors frame the study using a shared value perspective to demonstrate that sport managers can effectively promote health when the professional sport organization is concurrently attempting to deliver social and business value. To illustrate this approach, the authors used a health-related intervention program funded and delivered by a professional sport league as the research context. The authors undertook a mixed-method, quasi-experimental study to determine the potential to achieve social value (e.g., physical health and mental wellness) and business value (e.g., team, league, and sport affinity, and patronage). The results show that the business-centric effects were stronger among a group of youth beneficiaries than they were among some health- and wellness-centric variables. The authors discuss the significant effects through a shared value lens and posit several areas for future research.  相似文献

当前，如何构建企业信用体制已经成为理论界的热点问题。本文认为信用体制的构建必须从企业经营环境的治理着手。任何一种制度。都伴随着经营者的理性选择，而当今企业的失信，很大程度上就是对现存环境的最优理性反应，这可以说就是我们制度的悲哀。本文对此进行了深入分析，并提出了相关的治理措施。  相似文献   

How changes in work structure influence employees’ perceptions of CSR: millionaire managers and locked-out laborers     

Amy O'Connor  Emily A. Paskewitz  Derek A. Jorgenson  Jessica M. Rick 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2016,44(1):40-59

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is widely understood as the various activities corporations engage in to meet stakeholder demands and demonstrate fit in society. Often employees are positioned as the beneficiaries of corporate largesse and worker recruitment and retention are offered as rationale for CSR activities. The voice of the employee, however, is noticeably missing from the CSR literature. This study uses a case study approach to explore how locked-out union workers define CSR. We conducted 51 semi-structured interviews and analyzed 27 secondary data sources. The results suggest that workers fuse together economic and ethical responsibilities to develop a portrait of their employer's CSR. Workers defined CSR as an economic/ethical responsibility that is intimately tied to a set of explicitly and implicitly communicated values. Our analysis exposed four additional dimensions that informed employees’ understanding of CSR: reciprocity, fair treatment, economic justice, and organizational structure. Propositions for future research and practical implications are offered based on the findings.  相似文献   

公共图书馆法人治理结构现状调研及思考   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

霍瑞娟 《中国图书馆学报》2016,42(4):117-127

建立法人治理结构是21世纪以来我国公共图书馆管理的一项新举措,各地图书馆按照相关要求进行调研和论证,有些图书馆已进入实施阶段。本文采用文献调研、问卷调查和实地考察等方法,对全国各省、市、县图书馆的法人治理结构现状进行调研。发现全国公共图书馆法人治理结构的建立及运行存在以下障碍:改革缺乏立法层面的依据;政府与图书馆权责不清;理事会定位及作用存疑。公共图书馆法人治理结构可从以下方面进行完善:尽快推动《公共图书馆法》出台,并重视后续的修订和完善工作;确定理事会的决策地位,明确政府与公共图书馆的权责关系;构建专业委员会,完善决策支撑体系;推进管理运行公开化,构建社会评价监督机制。中国图书馆学会应在全国公共图书馆法人治理结构的建立和完善方面发挥积极作用。  相似文献   

企业收缩性资本运营的理论基础     

罗良忠  朱荣林 《湘潭师范学院学报(社会科学版)》2003,25(3):48-53

企业收缩性资本运营除了一般的动因以外，还有深刻的理论基础。交易费用理论认为，一个企业的资产特定性越低，该企业就应进行适当的分立；新产权理论认为，企业资产互为独立时，分立是最优行为；信息技术影响论认为，当信息技术使得一些资产更具“柔性”而很少被有形资产“套牢”时，它将有助于资产所有权的分散；公司规模不相关理论认为。若中间品的交易效率超过劳动力的交易效率，公司规模和经营范围就会随个人专业化水平的提高和生产活动范围的减小而缩小；企业寿命周期理论认为，若一家公司超过了最优规模，可通过剥离来进行回归，若不进行更新，公司最终就会衰退以至消亡．  相似文献
