What is governance according to ISO 37000?

ISO 37000 considers that governance is based on a defined purpose and relies on four core principles: value creation, strategy, oversight, and accountability. These fundamental principles are then supported by a range of complementary principles, including: stakeholder engagement, leadership, data, risk governance, social responsibility, as well as the viability and sustainability of performance. If governance is effective, high-quality, and collective, it leads to three main outcomes: effective performance, ethical behavior, and responsible management.

What is benevolent leadership?

Compassionate leadership emerged with the goal of restoring relationships between employees and leaders. According to Farhi Karakas and Emine Sarigollu, it is based on four paradigms of the common good in organizational research: morality, spirituality, vitality, and community. Described as a process of creating a virtuous cycle of encouraging and initiating positive change, it is embodied by making ethical decisions, creating meaning, inspiring hope, and fostering courage for positive action, and positively impacting the broader community. Compassionate leaders are those who create benefits, positive changes, and observable results for the common good of the organization.

What is the Governance Code?

A governance code is a set of recommendations designed, according to its authors, to ensure the implementation of best practices in the organization and functioning of the board of directors. Today, there are several hundred such codes around the world—sometimes multiple codes within a single country. This is the case in France, where the financial market regulator recognizes two codes: the AFEP-MEDEF Code and the Middlenext Code. These governance codes fall under what is known in legal terms as soft law. Indeed, the term code can be misleading, as these are not laws passed through a legislative process, but rather self-regulatory texts issued by employers' associations.

What is Disciplinary Governance?

Governance mechanisms potentially serve various functions and, through these functions, influence the organization’s performance and the satisfaction of its different stakeholders. The function that has historically attracted the most attention in governance analyses is the so-called disciplinary function. According to this disciplinary approach, the main role of governance is to impose discipline on management in order to safeguard the legitimate interests of the organization’s stakeholders—particularly the shareholders, in the case of a company. This is referred to as the shareholder-oriented disciplinary approach to governance.

What is entrepreneurial finance?

Entrepreneurial finance focuses on raising financial resources for young businesses. In addition to friends and family (commonly referred to as love money in Anglo-Saxon contexts), who are often the first contributors to new entrepreneurial ventures for emotional reasons, and various public support programs, the primary source of funding comes from equity investors. These investors can generally be classified into three categories: venture capital, business angels, and the crowd, which can participate through equity-based crowdfunding platforms. It is worth noting that, given their experience and specific skills and knowledge, some of these actors contribute more than just money to young companies.

What is management by values?

Value does not exist as such, but is expressed in a relationship between at least two people, two entities, or two actors. Historically, value in a company has been understood through an accounting or economic lens. Since the 2000s, stakeholders in companies no longer accept value in the singular. These stakeholders have VALUES, sometimes conflicting, which need to be made explicit. Thus, values-based management can be defined as the art of managing human relationships within a company by fostering a collective dynamic far greater than the sum of individual capabilities or criteria strictly related to economic performance.

What is the Management of Healthcare Organizations?

"Health is priceless," certainly — but it does come at a cost. When we focus on the management of healthcare organizations, the challenge is to constantly reconcile at least two seemingly opposing logics: on one hand, the pursuit of the best possible care, and on the other, the optimization of economic, financial, and human resources. That is why the management of healthcare organizations must draw on all the traditional management disciplines — from strategy, finance, operations management, and information systems to marketing and human resource management — while assigning a specific role to a unique stakeholder who is not quite a customer, nor a regulator, nor an anonymous beneficiary, but the patient.

What is exchange rate risk?

Foreign exchange risk is the financial risk associated with fluctuations in exchange rates between currencies, affecting businesses, investors, and individuals in their international transactions. It can impact income, investments, or loan repayments depending on currency movements. A distinction is made between transaction risk, conversion risk, and economic risk. Its management relies on internal mechanisms (invoicing, netting) or external mechanisms (futures contracts, options), with a balance to be struck between cost and protection.

What is the income statement ?

The income statement is an essential document in accounting, showing the evolution of a company's income and expenses over a period, unlike the balance sheet which captures a situation at a precise moment. It is divided into three categories: operating (routine activities), financial (financing operations) and exceptional (specific events). The income statement influences economic performance and profitability, helping to guide decisions.

What is the SDGs ?

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 objectives adopted in 2015 by the United Nations to simultaneously address global economic, social, and environmental challenges by 2030. They cover a wide range of issues such as the eradication of poverty, universal access to quality education, the preservation of ecosystems, sustainable resource management, and the fight against climate change. For companies, adopting the SDGs represents a major strategic opportunity: it allows them to strengthen their social and environmental responsibility, improve their brand image, attract ethically conscious investors, while ensuring their long-term economic performance. However, successfully integrating them requires a strong commitment and real mobilization from all stakeholders inside and outside the company.
