This case study was written within the broader concept of Organisational Culture and how it is integrated into an organisation to encourage responsible leadership. The core focus and emphasis of this approach is to establish the implications for businesses operating in the most challenging of commercial environments, while adhering to their corporate ethos and organisational values. These may be summarised with the phrase: Only a clean business is a sustainable business. This dissertation is intended to act as a case study and resource aide for the teaching of leadership, organisational behaviour, human resources and business sustainability. The study is about the Afghanistan chapter of the global giant Siemens, which has been working in many areas of specialisation conducting business in the country for more than 75 years. It has been selected for this case study because of its long-term impressive record, during which time it has developed and sustained a reputation as an organisation with a much-admired organisational culture, and one to which employees feel very closely attached and connected. This case study evolved from a set of unique as well as difficult circumstances. In Afghanistan, where infrastructure is weak, businesses and other structured organisations are in their initial and immature stages of development, and employee attachment to their workplaces is relatively weak. In the case of Siemens however, it has been much the opposite. It became apparent over a protracted period of time that the relationship of employees to the company was clearly of a positive and committed nature, unlike the general perception stemming from other multinational organisations operating within the country. Many business organisations in Afghanistan tend to emphasise to a lesser degree some modern-day practices of employer-employee relationships, which negatively affect motivation and commitment. The study grew out of the observations that employees of Siemens on the other hand, seemed to exhibit attitudes and commitments contrary to the general trend in the wider business sector. This project began with the intention to identify those factors contributing to employee loyalty and strong attachments to an organisation. Subsequently, the same findings were used to identify the traits and particular features working within the organisational environment.

Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, ein Handover-Verfahren für ein Siemens Handset zu entwickeln. Die Entwicklungsumgebung beruht auf den Wireless-LAN Standards 802.11 der IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). Dabei liegen die Schwerpunkte auf den Standardisierungen 802.11f und 802.11i, wobei sich eine neue Arbeitsgruppe (IEEE 802.11r) direkt mit dem Thema "Handover" beschäftigen wird. Das Handset soll selbständig die Verwaltung und Einleitung des Handovers übernehmen und lediglich insofern vom Access Point unterstützt werden, dass dieser als Informationssammler dient und somit Entscheidungshilfen geben kann.

Many recent cases draw attention to this topic, but one in particular, the case of corruption of the company Siemens AG, that resulted in the payment of the largest fines in the history on your model, based on the terms of the FCPA since it became law in 1977. This event caters specifically to the objective of this work which is to make an analysis based on agency theory and the codes of good practices of corporate governance on how large companies revising their corporate management systems and practices aiming at the recovery of its institutional image after significant impact on the company, such as the corruption scandal in which Siemens was involved. For this study, we opted for qualitative research as a methodological path contemplating the single case study. In the process of data collection were used data obtained through documentary research about the corruption scandal on public collection available in the internet. Open conversations were made with 3 compliance Department officials of Siemens for the purposes of understanding the case with. At the end of this work, it was observed in the Siemens turnaround process a correlation between what was proposed by the Agency Theory about internal control Systems based on what was accomplished by the company when promoted an extensive restructuring of the Department of compliance and corporate governance system, the improvement of internal controls, as well as the creation of detection tools , control, analysis and prevention of fraud, which were used to minimize the effects generated by the conflict of interest covered by the theory of Agency. KEY WORDS: Corporate Governance; Compliance; Corruption; Turnaround, Agency Theory / É de grande relevância, tanto no meio acadêmico como para a sociedade como um todo o assunto 'corrupção', um problema recorrente que assola empresas e governos em várias partes do mundo. Muitos casos recentes chamam a atenção para este tema, mas um em especial, o caso de corrupção da Empresa Siemens AG, que resultou no pagamento das maiores multas da história na sua modalidade, baseada nos termos de conduta do FCPA desde que este se tornou lei em 1977. Este caso atende especificamente ao objetivo deste trabalho que é o de fazer uma análise baseada na Teoria da agência e nos códigos de boas práticas de governança corporativa sobre 'como' as grandes empresas reformulam seus sistemas e práticas de gestão corporativa visando à recuperação de sua imagem institucional após significativo impacto sobre a empresa, como no caso o escândalo de corrupção em que a Siemens esteve envolvida. Para a realização deste estudo, optou-se pela pesquisa qualitativa como percurso metodológico contemplando a modalidade estudo de caso único. No processo de coleta de dados, foram usados dados obtidos através de pesquisa documental de acervo público disponível na internet sobre o escândalo de corrupção. Foram feitas ainda conversas abertas para fins de entendimento sobre o caso com 3 funcionários do departamento de compliance da Siemens. Ao final do trabalho, observou-se no processo de turnaround uma correlação entre o que foi proposto pela Teoria da Agencia no âmbito dos Sistemas de Controles internos com o que foi realizado pela empresa que promoveu uma ampla reestruturação do departamento de compliance e do sistema de Governança Corporativa, o aprimoramento dos controles internos, bem como a criação de ferramentas de detecção, controle, análise e prevenção de fraudes, que foram usados com o objetivo de minimizar os efeitos gerados pelo conflitos de interesse abordados pela Teoria da Agência.
