Corporate Security in the Asia Pacific Region: Crisis, Crime, Fraud and Misconduct

Abstract: As corporations and governments become more litigious and risk averse, international risk management becomes more complex. Corporate Security in the Asia-Pacific Region: Crisis, Crime, Fraud, and Misconduct examines real cases of corporate crisis, crime, fraud, and other misconduct that corporate security professionals need to be aware of to effect

Corporate Philanthropy After Fraud Punishment: An Institutional Perspective

Abstract: This study examines corporate philanthropy in the context of corporate wrongdoing punishment in emerging markets. Building on institutional theory, we propose that in emerging markets, after being punished for fraudulent behavior by the government, which is collectively the largest institution, convicted firms tend to use corporate philanthropy as an institutional strategy to regain legitimacy. Using data of Chinese-listed firms that were punished for financial fraud in the ten years from 2004 to 2013, our findings show the subsequent growth of corporate philanthropy to be positively related to punishment severity. Furthermore, convicted firms’ media visibility, dominant state ownership, and national political appointment strengthen the effect of punishment severity on corporate philanthropy increase. Our institutional perspective offers new insights into why firms engage in corporate philanthropy after fraud punishment.

Corporate Security and the Stratum of Security Management

Abstract: Security is unpredictable, encompassing multidimensional heterogeneous occupations, skills, and knowledge (Brooks, 2010). The security domain encompasses many parts across its broad spectrum of practice, such as national security, public security, and private security to name only a few. Such diversity makes it difficult to provide a single encompassing definition for these many parts, as definition is dependent on applied context. One such context is corporate security.

Current and emerging technologies employed to abate crime and to promote security

Abstract: On a daily basis, vast numbers of citizens around the world are being observed through the surveillance activities of others. Police, intelligence agencies, corporations, employers, media and property owners many by using their privately contracted security personnel and service providers, are all now capable of observing, filming and monitoring the activities of others, including listening in to their conversations. Increasingly, they are accessing their data, too, for marketing purposes at the lower end of the scale (Andrejevic 2012), and for intelligence analysis at the higher end (Prunckun 2010). "On-selling" of electronic information and consumer databases is now part of global commerce (Dearne 2001), too. For the most part, the law does not discourage such intrusive activities, certainly in so far as they relate to public agencies and, increasingly, as they relate to the investigative undertakings carried out by the private sector as well.
