Showing titles in Business Ethics

This audiobook constitutes a critique of the modern notion of a stakeholder as it has been applied in business contexts.

Values, integrity, character, and ethics have distinct properties. There are rules you can't break, and lines that you can't cross and remain true. These bits of news and short stories and anecdotes and metaphors and parables and allegories simply remind us that the lines exist. Nothing preachy, merely the opportunity to consider your edges. Rather than following the crowd by seeing how close you can get to a line, why not embrace your values more fully, live with greater integrity, develop a superior character, and always act with unswerving ethics?

If things had gone Jignesh Shah's way, he would have been the Czar of Exchanges, a sterling exponent of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' programme. Shah pioneered creation of 10 new-generation regulated multi-asset (equity, commodity, currency, bond and electricity) financial markets just in 10 years across India, Singapore, Dubai, and Africa. No innovator has been credited with such accomplishments across the world.

Typically people react emotionally more severely to an exploited conflict of interest when a person gains a personal benefit such as through a bribe. If company, or even an office or department, stands to benefit inordinately, American society typically looks the other way on the institutional conflict of interest rather than taking it apart. This may just be human nature. However, the troubling institutional arrangements within an organization or between them may be tolerated because of the erroneous assumption that conflicts of interest are unethical only when they are exploited.

This pamphlet evaluates Starbucks' corporate responsibility forays given the alternative need to fix managerial flaws down to the store level.

Are American businesses generally less ethical than their counterparts around the world? Does a particular unethical mentality exist in the American business-culture? This book presents a number of cases of unethical conduct at American companies, along with a part on such conduct in companies in other regions of the world. Rather than following with the traditional orientation to ethical decision-making, the emphasis here is on the underlying mentality out of which the decisions come. The mentality itself, often times mendacious, is presented here as inherently unethical in itself. A variety of industries are represented so to demonstrate such a lower common denominator.

The financial crisis that peaked in the United States during the fall of 2008 is an excellent case study of what can go wrong with leadership and corporate governance - in business, financial ethics, government regulation directed both at the firm level and at that of the financial system itself, and legal accountability for the culprits.

Beneath the gloss of Walmart's corporate social responsibility program lies the reality of how the stores are actually managed on a daily basis. This booklet asks whether corporate social responsibility can make up for bad customer treatment and faulty management. Do corporate-level programs geared to societal problems compensate in terms of the company's reputational capital and to the customers? The booklet also looks at whether managers and other employees of a large retail company can be so incompetent that the incompetence itself, apart from any related "attitude," is unethical, given societal expectations as to how businesses are normally operated and customers treated.

Mark Zuckerberg originally intended Facebook to "accomplish a social mission - to make the world more open and connected". The company's troubled IPO compromised that lofty vision as its CEO quickly learned that he had to appease investors rather than employees and users. Hence employees had to hold unsalable stock-options and user-data became fair game. Finance is hegemonic where it plays.

"J'aime l'Allemagne, j'aime tellement l'Allemagne que je me réjouis chaque jour qu'il y en ait deux ", disait François Mauriac qui avait une conception très personnelle de la charité. L'Allemagne est la première économie d'Europe et le premier partenaire de la France. C'est dire qu'une stratégie internationale ne saurait faire l'impasse sur nos cousins germains si germains. Il se dit que les organisations économiques des deux pays ne sont pas les mêmes et que la compréhension mutuelle n'est pas toujours d'une fluidité parfaite.

Mitarbeiter haben heute eine andere Erwartung an ihre Vorgesetzten. Führung ist mittlerweile der "Blick über den Tellerrand", der es einer Führungskraft ermöglicht, das eigene Welt- und Werteverständnis zu verlassen und das des Unternehmens und der Mitarbeiter einzusehen und zu verstehen. Um dieser Herausforderung gerecht zu werden, entwickelte Rainer Krumm auf Grundlage der Arbeiten des amerikanischen Psychologieprofessors Clare W. Graves das Führungsprinzip der "9 levels of value systems".
