Shareholders ability to shift the burden of the tax to the consumer or labour depends largely on the mobility of capital. If the investor can move from the corporate sector into the non corporate sector, the laws of supply and demand will cause some of the burden of the corporate income tax to be borne by others. The aim of this paper is to find out whether the burden of the corporate income tax may be borne by labour through reduced wage rates or labour hours, resulting in a lower cost of labour to the firm, using ten (10) years financial data from ten firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange. The result provides evidence that part of the tax burden is shifted backwards to labour. Both the actual and adjusted data used in the model confirmed the alternate hypothesis. The result also demonstrated that a 1% increment in the corporate tax would result in 11% fall in the burden of the tax on labour.

Institutional theory claims that organizations interested in gaining legitimacy might have to adapt to the regulatory, cognitive and normative practices that reflect a host-country institutional environment. This book presents a study that draws on the theoretical lens of new institutionalism perspective to explore how the coercive (regulatory), cognitive (culture) and normative institutional settings of a less developed host-country impact MNE subsidiaries'' HRM practice configurations as well as HRM practice transfer. The study found constraints within the host-country educational and training arrangements, delays with the operation of the legal system, labour market constraints, cultural barriers as well as economic instability and political actors'' intrusion as institutional drivers influencing MNE subsidiaries'' HRM polices and practice configurations. This study adds to MNEs'' HRM practice transfer debate by highlighting the significance of the cognitive and normative institutional settings in LDCs as host-country institutional impediments to MNEs'' HRM practice diffusion and acknowledges greater flexibility within the regulatory system as a source of receptiveness for MNEs'' HRM practice diffusion.

Nobel laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu has witnessed some of the worst crimes people can inflict on others. So wherever he goes, he inevitably gets asked this question: How do I forgive? This book is his answer. Writing with his daughter, Mpho, an Anglican priest, they lay out the simple but profound truths about the significance of forgiveness, how it works, why everyone needs to know how to grant it and receive it, and why granting forgiveness is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves when we have been wronged.

Biskop Desmond Tutu har stått sentralt i arbeidet for et fritt Sør-Afrika uten apartheid. I den forbindelse har han også besøkt Norge en rekke ganger,bl.a. for å motta Nobels fredspris i 1984. I denne boken har han samlet bønner fra mange kanter av Afrika. Gjennom disse bonnene lar han leseren få kontakt med noe av det åndelige pulsslag på dette kontinentet, som er så rik på smerte, men også på åndelig liv og kraft. For kristne med en helt annen kulturell bakgrunn kan bønnene representere en hjelp til fornyelse i bønnelivet. Tomm Kristiansen, som kjenner Desmond Tutu gjennom mange år, gir i forordet en kort presentasjon av biskopen.
