Corporate boards and governance
N Balasubramanian
Many developing countries have in recent times opened up their economies to varying degrees, bringing in much-needed competition.Such liberalisation measures and the concomitant thrust to globalise bring in their wake a large scale corporatisation of business, enlarging the gap between their control and management.In these circumstances, how do shareholders and other stakeholders ensure their interests receive the attention and consideration they deserve? Boards of Directors are charged with the responsibility of stewarding the affairs of their companies, in a just and equitable manner that will achieve these desired goals, without impeding the entrepreneurial initiaves of the managers to deliver. In walking this tight rope, the character and capability of the Board itself are put on trial. This book is about good Corporate Governance, helping the Board to equip itself to discharge its increasingly onerous responsibilities, coping with the uneasy interface between the company`s Board and its CEO, and above all, combining business with ethics. Companies that act with foresight in this emerging scenario will be truly better armed for the tough competitive future ahead than those that dismiss such issues as of no immediate relevance.

International licensing: managing intangible resources
S Shiva Ramu
Intangible resources--which include intellectual property, copyrights, patents, trademarks, and designs--have acquired considerable prominence in the context of international business. Licensing these resources is one way for a company to expand globally and to earn valuable revenue with minimum investment. However, to realize the full potential of such resources, it is essential to have a proper understanding of the licensing process. Featuring illustrations, cases, and relevant examples, International Licensing provides a broad-ranging and detailed description of the various patterns of collaboration involving licensing and ways in which to use them for profit. The first part of the book deals with the nature of intangible assets, piracy and infringement of intellectual property, and the differing--often conflicting--legalities under which different countries operate. In the second part, the author deals specifically with technical know-how and making licensing arrangements. Professor Shiva Ramu details the important aspects that both the licensee and licenser need to consider. International Licensing is a valuable resource for CEOs, business executives, those dealing with intellectual property and patent laws, and students and researchers in the area of international business.

Strategic alliances: building network relationships for mutual gain
S Shiva Ramu
While many theories assume the success of alliances, author S. Shiva Ramu takes the opposite view, namely, that alliances also often fail. These failures occur, notes the author in Strategic Alliances, primarily because one of the partners begins to transgress the basic premises of the alliance. Through this book, CEO's and business executives will learn the essential factors required to ensure the successful management of alliances. Beginning with a discussion of the emergence and development of various types of networks and the associated theories, the author also provides the industry perspective in forming strategic alliances and probes in detail alliances in the functional areas of marketing and R&D. To enhance learning and application, the book presents country-specific experiences in building alliances, drawing examples from India, Canada, and Japan. Crisp and reader-friendly, Strategic Alliances shortens the learning curve for not only professionals such as CEO's and other business executives, but also for professionals in training and faculty preparing their students for experiences in international business.
