Launch of the book “Corporate Governance in the Knowledge Economy” by Paul David Richard Griffiths, teacher-researcher at EM Normandie

Paul David Richard Griffiths is Professor of Finance and Academic Director of the M2/MSc Banking, Finance & Fintech taught on the Oxford campus of EM Normandie. His book “Corporate Governance in the Knowledge Economy – Lessons from Case studies in the Finance Sector” published by Palgrave Macmillan, addresses the new challenges of business management.

The new challenges of business management

Over the last few decades, we have transitioned completely from the industrial economy to the knowledge economy. Over 87 percent of the Standard and Poor 500 companies’ assets are intangibles such as intellectual capital. This transition to the knowledge economy results in new challenges of business management. This book probes two aspects of this sector undergoing revolution.

First, Paul Griffiths is interested in the development of new technologies, the proliferation of social media and the resulting deviances such as Big Data and cyber threats and everything that has culturally shaped the identity of Generation Y, which is now integrating into the world of work. It then explores the relationship between management and staff members within multinationals by questioning the creation of an ethical corporate culture, adapted to its objectives and its functioning. It provides clear guidelines on how to implement management.

The illustration of contemporary issues through concrete cases makes this book a valuable and unique tool for researchers, students and professionals specializing in finance and business management.

On 6 September 2022, Paul Griffiths will present his new book at the Frontline Club in London.
