Christoph Kiefer, Abraham Bernstein, Application and evaluation of inductive reasoning methods for the semantic web and software analysis, In: Reasoning Web. Semantic Technologies for the Web of Data - 7th International Summer School 2011, Springer, 2011, 2011-08-23. (Conference or Workshop Paper published in Proceedings) Exploiting the complex structure of relational data enables to build better models by taking into account the additional information provided by the links between objects. We extend this idea to the Semantic Web by introducing our novel SPARQL-ML approach to perform data mining for Semantic Web data. Our approach is based on traditional SPARQL and statistical relational learning methods, such as Relational Probability Trees and Relational Bayesian Classifiers. We analyze our approach thoroughly conducting four sets of experiments on synthetic as well as real-world data sets. Our analytical results show that our ap- proach can be used for almost any Semantic Web data set to perform instance-based learning and classification. A comparison to kernel methods used in Support Vector Machines even shows that our approach is superior in terms of classification accuracy.

Anselm Jakob Schneider, Democratizing Corporate Governance: Compensating for the democratic deficit of corporate political activity and corporate citizenship, In: Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management. 2011. (Conference Presentation) In this paper we address the democratic deficit that emerges when private corporations engage with public policy, either by providing citizenship rights and global public goods (corporate citizenship) or by influencing the political system and lobbying for their economic interests (strategic corporate political activities). This democratic deficit is significant, especially when multinational corporations operate in locations where national governance mechanisms are weak or even fail, where the rule of law is absent and there is a lack of democratic control. This may lead to a decline in the social acceptance of the business firm and its corporate political activities and, thus, to a loss of corporate legitimacy. Under these conditions corporations may compensate the emerging democratic deficit and reestablish their legitimacy by internalizing democratic mechanisms within their organizations, in particular in their corporate governance structures and procedures. We analyze the available corporate governance models with the help of a typology and discuss the possible contributions of a new form of democratic corporate governance.

Steffen Blaschke, Dennis Schoeneborn, David Seidl, Network approaches to organization and communication: Comparison, extension, and empirical illustration, In: Academy of Management (AoM) Annual Meeting. 2011. (Conference Presentation) Over the last decades, various scholars have propagated a view of organization as essentially consisting of communication, which has frequently been referred to as “communication constitutes organization” (CCO). While this perspective has been greatly advanced in theoretical respects, its range of methodologies is still limited to the level of individual episodes of communication rather than organization in its entirety. In this paper, we present network analysis as an alternative for developing a suitable methodological approach. Based on a discussion of existing network approaches to organization and communication, we develop a new network approach that encompasses the fundamental assumptions of the CCO perspective. The proposed network approach places communication at the center of the analysis by turning the prevalent network perspective ‘inside out’, so that the vertices of the network represent communications and the edges represent individuals. We illustrate our methodological proposal with an empirical case study examining the dynamics of the organization as a communication network over time.
Anselm Jakob Schneider, Andreas Scherer, Globalization and the political role of the firm: implications for corporate governance, In: Annual Meeting of the Society for Business Ethics. 2011. (Conference Presentation) Corporate governance practice is mainly centered on the protection of investors’ rights. How-ever, this view neglects the fundamental changes in the operating conditions of business due to globalization and the weakening of regulatory frameworks. Weak or absent enforcement of contracts, increasingly unfettered negative externalities of corporate action, and involvement of private actors in the provision of public goods change the role of business in a fundamental way, rendering it a political actor. Resulting in the extension of corporate power these devel-opments challenge the very assumptions of efficiency based corporate governance theory. Re-current misuse of power poses a threat to organizational legitimacy. Drawing on suggestions to restore organizational legitimacy by means of discursive processes, we argue that opening cor-porate governance to such processes is a suitable means to safeguard organizational legitimacy in a globalized world.
