Corporate Governance Regulation The changing roles and responsibilities of boards of directors

Corporate Governance Regulation The changing roles and responsibilities of boards of directors

Corporate governance regulation has been through numerous cycles of reform and yet we still see instances of companies collapsing suddenly. Codes of corporate governance have been implemented in most developed countries recommending detailed governance frameworks for publicly listed companies and their boards but our understanding of how these codes influence behaviour is still limited. In this book Alice Klettner draws on the domains of law and business to explore the effectiveness of corporate governance codes. Using interview evidence from company directors and officers as well as published evidence of companies’ corporate governance systems she discusses the theory and practice of corporate governance and its regulation – with a focus on how corporate governance codes can affect board behaviour and company performance. This interdisciplinary book will be valuable reading for advanced students and researchers of corporate governance and will also be directly relevant to governance practitioners and policymakers. | Corporate Governance Regulation The changing roles and responsibilities of boards of directors

Implementing Virtual Teams A Guide to Organizational and Human Factors

Implementing Virtual Teams A Guide to Organizational and Human Factors

Many organizations worldwide are currently exploring the potential gains to be made from working with virtual teams. Although many different things are meant by use of 'virtual' (and indeed by 'teams') usually it denotes groups of people with common purpose and goals working in different locations and often different time zones; they will be interconnected via a variety of telecommunications networks perhaps including the Internet and intranet video conferencing shared white boards as well as telephone mail and e-mail. For organizations implementing such virtual teams there is a great need for guidance in terms of the organizational structure and support which needs to be put in place. This book offers a practical guide to developing virtual teams providing both an overview of what is involved and also a clear simple framework around which organizations can build their own implementation process.

Introduction to Microcontroller Programming for Power Electronics Control Applications Coding with MATLAB and Simulink

Introduction to Microcontroller Programming for Power Electronics Control Applications Coding with MATLAB and Simulink

Microcontroller programming is not a trivial task. Indeed it is necessary to set correctly the required peripherals by using programming languages like C/C++ or directly machine code. Nevertheless MathWorks® developed a model-based workflow linked with an automatic code generation tool able to translate Simulink® schemes into executable files. This represents a rapid prototyping procedure and it can be applied to many microcontroller boards available on the market. Among them this introductory book focuses on the C2000 LaunchPadTM family from Texas InstrumentsTM to provide the reader basic programming strategies implementation guidelines and hardware considerations for some power electronics-based control applications. Starting from simple examples such as turning on/off on-board LEDs Analog-to-Digital conversion waveform generation or how a Pulse-Width-Modulation peripheral should be managed the reader is guided through the settings of the specific MCU-related Simulink® blocks enabled for code translation. Then the book proposes several control problems in terms of power management of RL and RLC loads (e. g. involving DC-DC converters) and closed-loop control of DC motors. The control schemes are investigated as well as the working principles of power converter topologies needed to drive the systems under investigation. Finally a couple of exercises are proposed to check the reader’s understanding while presenting a processor-in-the loop (PIL) technique to either emulate the dynamics of complex systems or testing computational performance. Thus this book is oriented to graduate students of electrical and automation and control engineering pursuing a curriculum in power electronics and drives as well as to engineers and researchers who want to deepen their knowledge and acquire new competences in the design and implementations of control schemes aimed to the aforementioned application fields. Indeed it is assumed that the reader is well acquainted with fundamentals of electrical machines and power electronics as well as with continuous-time modeling strategies and linear control techniques. In addition familiarity with sampled-data discrete-time system analysis and embedded design topics is a plus. However even if these competences are helpful they are not essential since this book provides some basic knowledge even to whom is approaching these topics for the first time. Key concepts are developed from scratch including a brief review of control theory and modeling strategies for power electronic-based systems. | Introduction to Microcontroller Programming for Power Electronics Control Applications Coding with MATLAB® and Simulink®
