Business Ethics Training Blog

http://www.businessethicstraining.org/
Interesting blog, with a focus on business ethics as an academic discipline.

From the blog:
This blog is a result of my experience as both a business owner and as an employee during which I came across a wide variety of ethical and moral issues.

During a long career in international business including a number of e-commerce ventures – I’ve realized the importance of proper business ethics training to meet the growing challenges in the 21st century workplace.

Not only are these issues complex – many haven’t been seen before due to the rise of the internet, technology and the sweeping changes made to the way we work.

Globalization and the necessity to deal across cultures – what may be okay and permissible in one culture being taboo in another. Today even many small businesses outsource – and there are issues in that as well.

Hopefully this blog will seek to address many of these issues and more.

Executive Excess 2009: America’s Bailout Barons

http://www.ips-dc.org/reports/executive_excess_2009
Excerpt from the 16th annual report from the Institute for Policy Studies:

The 20 U.S. financial firms that have received the most bailout dollars from taxpayers awarded their top five executive officers, in the three years through 2008, pay packages worth a combined $3.2 billion. These 100 financial executives, on their way to driving the U.S. economy off a cliff, averaged $32 million each. One hundred U.S. workers making the 2008 annual average wage would have to labor over 1,000 years to make as much as these 100 executives made in three.

Global Corruption Report 2009: Corruption and the Private Sector

http://www.transparency.org/news_room/in_focus/2009/gcr2009

Excerpt from this report, newly released by Transparency International:

Bribery in business captures news headlines around the globe and leads to massive reputational and financial repercussions for the implicated companies. Bribery, though, represents only part of the picture when profit comes at the expense of integrity and sustainability. Other corrupt practices, such as corporate fraud, cartels and undue influence on public policy, work as destructive forces that undermine fair competition, stifle economic growth and ultimately undercut companies’ own existence.

Featuring analysis of more than 75 experts, Transparency International’s 2009 Global Corruption Report lays bare these and other corruption challenges that cut across countries and industries, exposes soft spots in existing corporate anti-corruption measures, and examines promising innovation in the sector.

Seventh Generation 2008 Corporate Consciousness Report

The 2008 report includes a cover letter from Jeffrey Hollander titled “Is CSR Dead?”

We haven’t reached the end of the road for corporate responsibility, but it’s my sense that we are nearing the outer reaches of its evolutionary arc. Moving forward, corporate responsibility will most likely become a baseline requirement in every company’s license to operate. A listing in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index or inclusion in the portfolio of a socially responsible mutual fund will be more about doing less harm than acting for the greater good. And that brings us to a crossroad…
