Management and business context 1
Introduction
The contextual factors play a significant role in influencing information interactions, nature
of information flows along with the forms of information moving in the flows. The
contextual factors are the characteristics of the environment which are related to the success
of an organization. The contextual factors identified for the success of an organization are
history of working together, connectedness, political climate, resources, catalysts and
regulations. The contextual factors can be varied as per the requirement. A useful framework
could comprise factors like motivation, ability, access, design and training. The contextual
factors influences to the decision making as these undertake the organizational environment,
nature of the specific problem along with the leadership style. The organizational
environment and nature of the specific problems enables substantial improvement in the
capability of predicting the use of decision approach. On the other side, magnitudes chosen to
demonstrate leadership style do not appear to have significant sway on the selection method.

This article has focused on the organizational structure or governance as contextual factor.
The author in this article has analysed how corporate governance influences firm strategy and
the implications such issues have for the proposal of compensation mechanisms. The
privatisation has been considered a significant strategy for encouraging economic
development along with the centre of consideration in research. The privatization infers
changes in the corporate governance and owners objectives. The changes in the governance
structure focus on analysing potential variations in the strategy after privatization. The
privatization has created a new framework in which firms contend to endure and succeed. On
the other side, corporate governance analyses the internal organizational changes. The
dominant theoretical framework is used in the corporate governance research. Two
mechanisms are aligned for the interest of owners and managers for monitoring function of
the board. In order to analyse the special effects of corporate governance and strategy on
reward practices, a multi-case exploration method is employed. The cases are examined to
compromise three control variables like industrial sector, company size and privatization
methods. The restrictions included in the case are sufficient enough for the managers to

assurance the presence of the formal corporate governance. The factors measuring company
government structure identified are survival of the separate positions of the CEO and
chairpersons of the board. The second one is boards’ whole composition and the last one
identified is ownership structure and attentiveness.

The main background factor deliberated in this journal article is environmental forces. The
environmental forces have been variously studied and constituted. The communication
strategy concerning to stakeholder theory, less contamination produced by a firm leads to
superior environmental performance. This article has verified how environmental
performance can distress to the environmental disclosure. It has also verified the
performance, progression and element of the environmental disclosure from the companies
registered on the Italian financial market. The firms listed on the Milan Stock Exchange in
2006 and 2009 have been assessed. The regression model have been used to certify that the
firms generating high intensities of carbon dioxide emissions have a tendency to reveal more
than minor and honest ones. Such results are reliable with the legitimacy theory. This theory
uses balance sheet as a instrument of corporate policies.
The social and ecological accounting has been advanced in several ways like EMSs,
environmental performance, ecological disclosure and commercial performance of the
organizations. The environmental dimension in CSR advanced sustainability performance
measurement systems. For the environmental performance, the association between
environment management and firm’s financial performance have been focused. A positive
link among the variables has been highlighted revealing motivation in order to adopt
adequate EMSs. The environmental performance is differently defined and most of the
criteria are quantitatively measured. The years 2006 and 2009 used by the article verified not
only progression of the environmental confession but also affected produce by the legislative
decree.
