#IBR 33(2) - Have you heard of corporate political obligations? Read a new paper in IBR on the impact of populism on business activities and what corporate political obligations are. The authors of the paper are: Christopher Hartwell - Kozminski University and ZHAW School of Management and Law Timothy Devinney - Alliance Manchester Business School #Highlights of the paper are: • Populism increases political risk and forces firms to adapt. • We introduce a new concept, corporate political obligations (CPO), as a risk channel of populist governance. • CPO requires firm to alter their operations and planning in order to satisfy the ruling regime. • CPO is the dark side of stakeholder capitalism as it collapses stakeholders to one (the populist regime).

We champion the interests of business in government, parliament, the media, and other key platforms. By actively listening to our members, we ensure that our advocacy reflects the issues that matter most to you. In July, we surveyed 571 IoD members to gather their views on key business issues. With growth being a large focus of the new government, we wanted to gather member feedback to input to their policy strategy. We also wanted to hear understand the impact of full expensing on business investment and what members think about the Prime Minister’s plans to improve the UK’s trading relationship with the EU and beyond. 📝 Read more about the survey findings here: https://lnkd.in/eb2gcQ7S You can access more Policy Voice data here:https://lnkd.in/ecGj2BGF 🌟 Our next Policy Vice survery will be emailed on 13 September, make sure and share your views!🌟 #Policy #IoD #Business #Advocacy #VoiceOfBusiness

In episode #64 of #GovernanceBites, I talk with Shamubeel Eaqub about director knowledge of the political and economic environment. I ask why current knowledge of these factors is important, and about examples of when such knowledge has impacted board decisions. We discuss how directors should keep abreast of these factors, and how they can optimise their time keeping up to date. I also ask Shamubeel what advice he would give to a new director. #governance, #governancebites, #director, #boardroom, #boardcraft, #economist https://lnkd.in/gGTfUFZi

“You cannot argue that one is better than the other, we need them all and we need more”. Well said Tom Hegarty I genuinely believe collaboration is crucial across Financial Services, now more than ever. Some might shy away from collaboration for fear of stifling competition. In my experience it doesn’t, competition is healthy and important and has its own important respectful space. Instead collaboration ensures we all thrive and, most importantly, means we stand a chance of closing the Advice Gap by supporting a new generation of trusted Financial Advice professionals.
