This study develops a further understanding of the factors that operate to influence and/or prohibit fraudulent activities in corporations. The study represents an effort to further develop the current knowledge base that currently exists on strategies that are being used in efforts to prevent future occurrences of corporate fraud.

From the Paper
"Current information suggests that occupational fraud losses for large corporations are estimated to now exceed $600 billion annually, an average of nearly $4500 per employee. Small businesses tend to be hurt worst by occupational fraud, at an average $127,500 per loss compared to the $97,000 average loss for larger companies. With the collapse of Enron and WorldCom and reports of other major corporations caught in similar acts, corporate fraud has increasingly been recognized as threatening trust in the economy, the integrity of the auditing profession and the state of business ethics within corporate America."

Abstract
This paper draws the analogy that corporations are like automobiles, in that both exist to move people and goods and both fuel the economy. The writer maintains that corporations create automobiles to fuel the economy, but they also create other "tools" to reach the same goal, such as professionals and financial products. The writer further explains that, like the automobile, the organization is built from different parts: top, middle and low management. The writer points out that automobiles are built from parts as well: engine, wheels, carburetor and each part has its function. The writer concludes that corporations exist because they deliver better results by being more efficient in moving the people and the goods involved in the value creating process. They are also the most suitable ownership type given the diversity of investing options nowadays.
This paper includes color charts and graphs.

Why do Corporations and Organizations Exist?
From the Paper
"The governance mechanism as described by Williamson is based on transaction costs. Basically, these ones dictate whether transactions are made through markets or by internalizing activities. Market-based transactions are subject to uncertainty, which generate transaction costs, whereas hierarchies generate higher costs associating with controlling a wider range of activities. The central piece of his theory is the asset specificity. The higher the specificity of a company's assets is, the more agents are likely to behave opportunistically, which is an incentive for the company to internalize activities along the value chain to protect its assets.
"The traditional contract theory of the firm has recently been enriched with a more recent type of contacts: relational contract. This latest contribution suggests that each party behave in such a manner to reach the other party's expectations and the behavior is maintained by fear of retaliation of the other party(ies)."

From the Paper
"Recent years have seen a massive rise in the number, size and power of global corporations, also called multinational corporations. This has risen to the point where some multinational corporations have economies that are larger than the economies of many developing countries. What does this mean for the developing countries that house these multinational corporations? Will it be possible for them to maintain their autonomy in the face of this threat? It is here argued that in fact the autonomy of developing countries is seriously threatened by multinational corporations, and that the autonomy of many of them is already compromised."

Abstract
This paper explains three major reasons corporations are compelled to internationalize are (1) the growth imperative, (2) the capability to develop a cost advantage and (3) internationalizing the customer base. The author points out that Indonesia, one of the few developing countries that responded favorably to the idea of internationalization, liberalized its policies to promote internationalization and promoted import substitution polices and deregulation policies as early as the 1980s. The paper relates that for Indonesia, localization remains a key factor in promoting good will toward governments and allowing Indonesians to achieve higher goals through the training provided within the multinational corporation.

From the Paper
"In many cultures of a host country for the multinational corporation, it may be required that the human resource management team extend themselves by becoming familiar with the employees, not just as employees but as human beings. This could include interacting socially and outside of the workplace, at functions along with other employees. It is imperative that the human resource management team be flexible in their approaches to the diverse cultures that they will be encountering and sensitive to the specific needs of those cultures."

Abstract
This paper introduces the topic of corporations' spending to influence political campaigns and specifically discusses why they should be prohibited from doing so. It looks at how these corporations are able pick and choose where they exert their power and how most of them contribute the maximum amount allowable by law to political campaigns. It argues that these contributions, known as "soft money" in the political world, should be prohibited because they go against the meaning of the U.S. Constitution and because they influence the candidates in ways that often do not benefit their constituents. Political contributions from large corporations are not the American way, and they should be banned entirely to add integrity back into the election process.
From the Paper
"There are numerous reasons why these continuing political contributions should be stopped. First, they are completely out of control, and are defining the way candidates run for office in our country. Political campaigns of past eras were shorter, and much less expensive. Today, campaigns seem to last forever, and the budgets are tremendous. For example, the 1998 governor's race in California cost $100 million, and Senate races can cost $25 million or more, and the costs are rising every day (Hrebenar, Burbank, and Benedict 6). Arnold Schwarzenegger spent nearly $27 million to win the recall election in California just a few months ago, and the total spent by all the candidates was $88 million. Even more astounding, Ex-Governor Gray Davis left office owing his campaign money."

Abstract
Increasing numbers of U.S. multinational corporations are going global. Some move to tax havens and others relocate to cut costs and for risk management. This paper examines the benefits of Corporate reincorporations - the ability to reach global markets offer these companies competitiveness with foreign corporations. The paper shows that some of these companies are also moving because of the high U.S. corporate taxes.
From the Paper
"When Multinationals move abroad, they are also involved in a process of risk reduction. As U.S. corporations have expanded their global reach they are better able to put the U.S. workforce in direct competition with foreign workers, thus increasing their profits while driving down our wages, and general standard of living. Global corporations are better able to use technology to downsize their workforces, thus creating anxiety among working people who no longer feel secure about the future of their jobs."

Sources of Power in Corporations
Discussion and Conclusion
From the Paper
"In addition to the aforementioned power of the superintendent and the school board, these individuals are also responsible for such things as health, nutrition and the safety of students in the case of an emergency. In most cases school superintendents have also served as teachers or school principals. Superintendents are often chosen because they have the ability to organize and bring people together. Superintendents and school boards are absolutely necessary as it relates to ensuring that the public school systems are operating effectively.
"Additionally principals and assistant principals also serve as the immediate sources over power in each public school. Principals also act as overseers to ensure that the policies established by the superintendent and the school board are implemented. Principals are also responsible for carrying out disciplinary actions when school rules are broken."

Power of Transnational Corporations, 2007.
This paper analyzes the power of transnational corporations.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that even the richest and most powerful nations need economic productivity and cash, so they find ways to cooperate with the interests of transnational corporations (TNCs). Fortunately, the owners and employees of these TNCs usually consider benefits to humanity as also beneficial to the company. The writer notes that many analysts consider the actual control of transnational corporations to be impossible. However, a large measure of control can be achieved by controlling the environments, (business, economic, legislative and political), within which TNCs do business. The writer concludes that problems only arise when ignorance rules or when personal greed overcomes reason.
From the Paper
"Beyond this, few states have the means to control TNCs beyond allowing or disallowing them. China has come as close as any member state, perhaps, because of its ability to apply its rules to its own corporations immediately upon making any decision. It is the nature of the absolute power of the state in certain areas. This factor has inhibited investment in China until they can establish a more constant rule of law. Corporations have gotten around this since China joined the WTO by negotiating binding agreements with the state. While there are other states with absolute power, none can approach the economic power of the PRC. That TNCs negotiate directly with the host countries without the need to go through their own government's state department or some other political power is indicative of the actual power these TNCs wield."

From the Paper
"Globalization is the process going on primarily through the last several decades by which large corporations have integrated markets, production, and distribution across national and regional borders, achieving in the process huge profits and also achieving and exercising control over markets to a degree that has come to overshadow the powers of developing nation-states. Multi-national corporations have achieved integration of markets in that they have managed a very high degree of penetration of consumer and financial markets. They have achieved integration of production in that they have organized systems for carrying on the manufacturing and the intellectual processes for making goods and services. They have achieved integration of distribution through control of transportation systems and the development of protocols for the manipulation of tangible and intangible items of value through various bureaucracies."
