“…Such behaviours can be accentuated by the actions of the financial press and others who praise those CEOs who take bold decisions (Hayward et al, 2004). Narcissists are also likely to view themselves as Nietzschean 'overmen' (Ü bermensch) to whom the ordinary rules do not apply (Norberg, 2009). This can lead to a greater likelihood to carry out unethical acts and can provide a rationalisation for these acts (Zyglidopoulos et al, 2009), an extreme example being the use by the Nazis of Nietzsche's philosophy to justify unconscionable acts of cruelty (Aschheim, 1994).…”

“…The main feature used in detecting such acts is through the identification of immoral (areas that are considered evil or wrong according to theory of ethics) and amoral (exhibiting indifference to codes of society) keywords [28]. Two examples of an IDS are the SybilRank by Cao et al [29] and Information Distiller, Profile Hunter and Profile Verifier by Kontaxis et al [30].…”

Cyberbullying has been an emerging issue in recent years where research has revealed that users generally spend an increasing amount of time in social networks and forums to keep connected with each other. However, issue arises when cyberbullies are able to reach their victims through these social media platforms. There are different types of cyberbullying and like traditional bullying; it causes victims to feel overly selfconscious, increases their tendency to self-harm and generally affects their mental state negatively. Such situations occur due to security issues such as user anonymity and the lack of content restrictions in some social networks or web forums. In this paper, we highlight the existing solutions, which are Intrusion Prevention System and Intrusion Detection System from a number of researchers. However, even with such solutions, cyberbullying acts still occurs at an alarming rate. As such, we proposed an alternative solution that aims to prevent cyberbullying activities at a younger age, e.g., young children. The application would provide an alternative method to preventing cyberbullying activities among the younger generations in the future.

“…Were some of the most tragic incidents in contemporary corporate history then borne from CEOs' overconfidence? ("Hubris" is often used interchangeably with "overconfidence" in the existing literature [2][3][4][5]. However, we use the term "overconfidence" as a subset of hubris, as the latter often includes not only a heightened sense of one's abilities, but also the notion that one is superior to others and therefore not subject to the same set of rules as others [6]).…”

This paper explores the influence of institutional investors' external monitoring on CEOs' overconfidence. We particularly examine institutional monitoring's influence on overinvestments by overconfident CEOs and the likelihood of appointing these overconfident CEOs to firms. The results indicate that firms with overconfident CEOs have more overinvestment, as the CEOs tend to be overly optimistic about investment opportunities and are more likely to act on them. The findings, more importantly, show that institutional monitoring mechanisms attenuate overconfident CEOs' overinvestment. However, we find that institutional monitoring is only significant when long-term and/or large institutional investors hold the firms' shares. We also discover that investors' institutional monitoring not only actively reduces a CEO's overinvestments, but also negatively influences the appointment of overconfident CEOs. Overall, our study provides insights into institutional monitoring's role in corporate governance as an effective means of preventing value-destroying behaviors by an overconfident leader and cultivating an ethical business philosophy.
