Zasięg korporacyjnego upoważnienia aplikanta do zastępstwa
2023
Upoważnienie aplikanta do zastępstwa funkcjonuje od dawna. Jako że ma charakter tylko albo aż upoważnienia korporacyjnego, stąd też na tym tle jest ono różnie postrzegane. Do tego dochodzą dylematy w zakresie pełnienia przez profesjonalnego pełnomocnika funkcji kuratora, a także kwestia udzielenia upoważnienia do zastępstwa dla aplikanta czy nawet substytucji procesowej dla innego profesjonalnego pełnomocnika w osobie adwokata lub radcy prawnego. Wielość wątków z uwagi na szerokie spektrum aktywności aplikanta, co wiązać należy z odbywaną przez niego aplikacją adwokacką albo radcowską, pociąga za sobą konieczność umiejscowienia go w szeroko rozumianym wymiarze sprawiedliwości jako osoby qua…

2014
Corporate governance is concerned about the ways in which investors assure themselves of getting a return on their investment, on one hand, and is focus on motivating managers to increase the company profit, on the other hand (the agency theory). Corporate governance emerges from the interaction between managers and investors. Managers are often more likely to invest the extra cash-flow or profit than to return it to shareholders. But, both managers and investors are lees then fully rational. Sometimes their behavior is based on cognitive psychology. In this context, we are dealing with two problems: managerial biases and irrational investors. Managerial biases focus on the illusion of opti…

Droit et gouvernance:l'apport du courant comportemental
2010
Under the dominant approach to corporate governance, the role of law is to help reduce the impact of conflicts of interest and intentional strategic behavior of the different actors, including managers. The managers' decisions that are detrimental to shareholders and other stakeholders do not all have their origin in an intentional behavior. Some of them result of misjudgment, cognitive and behavioral biases. Based on Behavioral Law and Economics, which has expanded greatly in the United States, the objective of the paper is to show that the role of law within the corporate governance system is also to contribute to "debias" managerial decisions or correct any adverse effects of these biase…

Sport commercialization and the employment of star players have been considered harmful to this role. Our findings suggest that, counter-intuitively, economic and comm…

From Global Firms to Global Boards?
2013
Preprint of published version of an article from Journal of International Business Studies with the title: "On the internationalization of corporate boards: the case of Nordic firms" This study investigates the internationalization of corporate boards, using a sample of 346 non-financial listed Nordic firms during 2001-2008.

The picture of international expertise changes considerably, however, if we also count the international experience of national directors. The percentage of foreign directors is related primarily to financial internationalization rather than foreign sales, and thus presuma…
La religión del cuerpo-mercancía: ¿un nuevo opio del pueblo?
2018
The commercial exploitation or more precisely the total capitalist management of the human body erects this as a universal divinity. The direct consequence of this generalized corporal capitalism is the massive depoliticization of the body and, often, the reflection that is dedicated to it. In this article, we seek to reflect on the current practices of bodily modifications within the framework of the changes in the regimes of neoliberal governance in recent decades. This reflection is guided by the revision of central texts of critical theory
