Sustainable strategy for corporate governance based on the sentiment analysis of financial reports with CSR

Focusing only on shareholders’financial return is not consistent with the concept of sustainable corporate governance.In contrast to financial performance,corporate social responsibility(CSR)is a non-financial performance index.Financial reports consist of both financial and non-financial disclosures.These disclosures help investors make decisions.This paper characterizes the interaction between the sentiment analysis of financial reports and CSR scores.The classification accuracy through SVM exceeds 86%.The empirical study shows that the financial report sentiment based on the PESTEL model,Porter’s Five Forces model,and Value Chain(Primary and Support Activities)significantly correlates to the CSR score.

Analysis of the ITIL Mapping with COBIT over the Business Process Continuity Management

Planning and implementation as well as increased control over the Business Continuity Management （BCM） is a complex task in the company requiring adequate resources. BCM aims to reduce risks and develops plans for restoring business activities if they are interrupted by a disaster. The purpose of the paper is to analyze and describe two standards, Information Technology Infrastructure Library （ITIL） and Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology （COBIT）, especially their mapping for the improved planning and implementation of the BCM as well as the increased control over the BCM activities. COBIT is used more as a management framework, providing management tools, such as control objectives, metrics and maturity models in order to complement the control framework. ITIL includes process steps and tasks because it is more oriented towards IT processes （process framework）, defining the best practice for IT service management. Within this mapping, ITIL processes may be used to achieve and demonstrate compliance with COBIT control objectives for BCM process.

Making Canonical Workflow Building Blocks Interoperable across Workflow Languages

We introduce the concept of Canonical Workflow Building Blocks(CWBB),a methodology of describing and wrapping computational tools,in order for them to be utilised in a reproducible manner from multiple workflow languages and execution platforms.The concept is implemented and demonstrated with the BioExcel Building Blocks library(BioBB),a collection of tool wrappers in the field of computational biomolecular simulation.Interoperability across different workflow languages is showcased through a protein Molecular Dynamics setup transversal workflow,built using this library and run with 5 different Workflow Manager Systems(WfMS).We argue such practice is a necessary requirement for FAIR Computational Workflows and an element of Canonical Workflow Frameworks for Research(CWFR)in order to improve widespread adoption and reuse of computational methods across workflow language barriers.
