Corporate governance and social responsibility
Corporate governance and social responsibility are important concepts for companies. Good corporate governance involves internal controls, independent auditing, oversight of risk management and financial reporting, and setting executive compensation. It also includes nominating board members and addressing issues like conflicts of interest. In India, some past corporate scandals like the 2G spectrum case and Satyam fraud showed the need for better governance. Corporate social responsibility involves companies addressing social and environmental impacts and engaging with local communities. The concept has evolved in India from early philanthropy to now being integrated with business strategy and mandated by law for large companies to spend on CSR activities.
Harshad mehta scam
Harshad Mehta was an Indian stockbroker who orchestrated a massive securities scam in 1992. He exploited loopholes to siphon money from banks and pump it into the stock market, artificially inflating share prices. A journalist exposed his illegal practices, and he was arrested along with his brothers for misappropriating over 2.8 million shares from about 90 companies. A parliamentary committee investigation found that Mehta's scam amounted to over 24,000 crore rupees (US$3.4 billion in current value). He was charged with numerous offenses but died in prison in 2001 while still on trial.
Dhirubhai hirachand ambani

In 1958, he returned to Mumbai and started a trading company that grew into the multinational conglomerate Reliance.

The biggest scams were the Indian black money scam ($144 billion), 2G spectrum scam ($35 billion), and Commonwealth Games scam ($10 billion). Some of the major figures implicated included A. Raja in the 2G scam, Suresh Kalmadi in the Commonwealth Games scam, and Hassan Ali Khan in the black money scam. Corruption on such a large scale has seriously damaged India's economy and reputation.
Paid news
This document discusses the issue of paid news in Indian media. It defines paid news as media coverage or content that is paid for by political parties or corporations. Paid news undermines democracy by misinforming the public and using money to influence elections. It has become widespread and highly organized in India. Several cases of paid news are also discussed from recent elections. Potential measures to address the problem include strengthening regulations, increasing transparency, and educating the public.
Capital Market Behaviour
The document discusses the Ketan Parekh securities scam that occurred in India between 1999-2001. Ketan Parekh, a stock broker, manipulated the stock prices of 10 stocks (called K-10 stocks) through illegal means such as using borrowed money to purchase shares. He pledged the rising share prices as collateral to obtain more funds from banks. However, when global markets crashed in 2000, the share prices fell sharply, leaving Parekh unable to repay substantial debts. Parekh had borrowed heavily from small cooperative banks like MMCB, ultimately causing losses in public sector banks as well. SEBI introduced measures to curb the manipulation and restore market stability.

Corporate Scam,Chit fund(Saradha scam) & Corporate Governance
1) Corporate scams show a complete failure of corporate governance. To avoid this, companies must strictly follow proper governance systems and regularly rotate auditors.
2) The Satyam scandal highlighted the importance of securities laws and corporate governance in emerging markets. It spurred India to tighten governance norms to prevent future fraud.
3) Weak governance in India includes promoters holding shares through relatives/shell companies, state ownership allowing promoters dominance, and an inability to separate promoter/company interests.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdf
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
