Book Description
In
recent years, issues of business ethics, social responsibility, and
accountability have been at the forefront of corporate, policymaking,
and public concerns. Dramatic stories of abuse of stakeholder trust and
outright criminal behavior at companies like Enron, Global Crossing,
and Tyco have triggered a reexamination of the role of corporations in
society and the responsibilities of executives, managers, and board
members--and the accountants who are supposed to watch over them. This
landmark set of essays brings new clarity to the issues, as societies
around the world begin to hold corporations and their leaders to higher
standards of conduct. Covering a huge array of topics from white collar
crime to community partnerships, whistle blowing to corporate
philanthropy, and featuring insights from the world's leading
academics, business leaders, and consultants, including strategy guru
Michael Porter, Enron whistleblower Sherron Watkins, and famed
international corporate attorney, Ira Milllstein, The Accountable
Corporation provides provocative analysis, cultural and historical
context, and emerging solutions from the public, private, and
non-profit sectors toward more responsible, ethical, and accountable
business. Volume 1 provides in-depth discussion of corporate
governance, with emphasis on the legal and institutional implications
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which led to extensive changes in
corporate procedures, controls, and reporting. Topics covered include
the historical evolution of governance, the roles and responsibilities
of directors and institutional investors, and efforts to improve
corporate leadership in an age of public scrutiny. Contributors
include: Sir Adrian Cadbury on "The Rise of Corporation Governance" Holly Gregory on "International Corporate Governance"
Jay Lorsch on "Empowering the Board" Volume 2 explores the principle of
business ethics in both theory and practice, shedding light on the
philosophical, religious, and moral foundations of business ethics; the
development of ethical business cultures; the practice of ethical
decision making; and the emergence of ethics as an essential component
of the business school curriculum. Contributors include: Richard DeGeorge on "The History of Business Ethics" Rushworth Kidder on "Ethical Decision-Making and Moral Courage"
Laura Nash on "The New Realities of International Business Ethics"
Volume 3 highlights the debate over the corporation's responsibilities
as an agent of social change and influence, with essays on corporate
citizenship and community development, entrepreneurship and social
investing, and environmentally sustainable business practices-and
considering the effects of these practices on corporate strategy and
performance. Contributors include: John Elkington on "The Triple Bottom Line" Stuart Hart on "Embracing the Base of the Pyramid"
Mark Wade on "A Commitment to Sustainable Development" Volume 4 focuses
on the sometimes antagonistic and sometimes too-cozy relationship
between business and government, and showcases innovative efforts
around the world to create collaborative policies and programs that
promote both corporate profitability and social welfare. Contributors
include: Fruzsina Harsanyi on "Values-Based Leadership" Marcia Miceli and Janet Near on "Understanding Whistle-Blowing Effectiveness" Manuel Velasquez and Kirk Hanson on "Managing Conflicts of Interest" |
