Review Lawyer's Practice and Ideals:A Comparative View / Springer:As the process of internationalization accelerates, comparative law scholars focus on the adaptation of legal cultures to new realities. It is particularly important to understand (as best we can) the "inner workings" of two groups of lawyers: those in the United States; and those in the major European countries. In which ways do the two groups understand each other, and where do they go their separate ways? And what are the implications for the legal profession and its beneficiaries of their cultural and ideological differences? At a symposium held in Paris, 12 scholars from Europe and the United States met to investigate these issues under two related rubrics: realities and trends on the one hand, and ethics, rules and professional ideologies on the other. The participants have updated their original papers for this publication. In the course of their discussion they reveal which cultural realities persist and are likely to remain, and which trends are broadening the common ground on which lawyers act in both cultures.

Review Ethics Management: Auditing and Developing the Ethical Content of Organizations (Issues in Business Ethics) / Springer:Why is ethics important to organizations? What are the characteristics of an ethical organization? How can we audit the ethics of an organization? What measures and activities stimulate the ethical development of organizations? This book addresses these questions. It is easier to say that ethics is necessary than to tell how to organize ethics. This book provides a fundamental and coherent vision on how ethics can be organized in a focused way. This study examines the assumptions for organizing ethics, the pitfalls and phases of such a process, the parts of an ethics audit and the great variety of measures. The methods and insights illustrated in this book are based partially on practical research. One of these methods, the Ethics Thermometer, was based on more than 150 interviews at various organizations. The Ethics Thermometer has been applied in a great variety of profit and not-for-profit organizations in order to measure an organization's perceived context, conduct and consequences. This book will be important to scholars in the field of business ethics, as well as to managers and practitioners. For scholars, this study provides general knowledge about auditing and developing the ethics of an organization. A summary is given of the criteria by which the ethical content of an organization can be measured. [+]For managers and practitioners, this study provides concrete suggestions for safeguarding and improving ethics within their organizations.

Review Government, Ethics, and Managers: A Guide to Solving Ethical Dilemmas in the Public Sector / Quorum Books:Sheldon S. Steinberg and David T. Austern focus on the ethical and unethical behavior of elected and appointed government officials. The authors discuss the various types of ethical dilemmas that confront public sector managers, offer ways to analyze them, and describe management strategies designed to prevent unethical behavior. A series of ethical dilemmas which force the reader to examine his or her own ethical standards is followed by answers to the dilemmas which emphasize the importance of ethical choices. The authors also suggest ways to identify the susceptibility to corruption of a jurisdiction and present model policies, procedures, and legislation which could be effective in reducing the opportunity for unethical behavior. Steinberg and Austern begin by looking at the ethical dilemmas commonly faced by public officials and exploring the motivations for unethical practices. They then examine the costs of unethical behavior and profile three types of government practitioners: the corrupter, the functionary, and the ethicist. The remaining chapters address the use of investigation and management control to encourage ethical practices in public sector management. The authors discuss methods to ensure financial integrity, monitor ethical practices, and comply with ethical rules; emphasize the importance of investigation by management outside of law enforcement activities; and demonstrate the management controls necessary to ensure the ethical practice of government. [+]Essential reading for public sector managers at all levels of government, this book is also an ideal supplemental text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in public administration.

Review Living Wages, Equal Wages (Routledge Advances in Feministeconomics, 1) / Routledge:Wage setting has historically been a deeply political and cultural as well as economic process. This informative and accessible book explores how US wage regulations in the twentieth century took gender, race-ethnicity, and class into account. Focusing on social reform movements for living wages and equal wages, it offers an interdisciplinary account of how women's work and the remuneration for that work has changed along with the massive transformations in the economy and family structures. The controversial issue of establishing living wages for all workers makes this book both a timely and indispensable contribution to this wide ranging debate, and it will surely become required reading for anyone with an interest in modern economic issues.

Review Ethics and Agency Theory: An Introduction (The Ruffin Series in Business Ethics) / Oxford University Press, USA:Agency theory involves what is known as the principal-agent problem, a topic widely discussed in economics, management, and business ethics today. It is a characteristic of nearly all modern business firms that the principals (the owners and shareholders) are not the same people as the agents (the managers who run the firms for the principals). This creates situations in which the goals of the principals may not be the same as the agents-the principals will want growth in profits and stock price, while agents may want growth in salaries and positions in the hierarchy. The fourth volume in the Ruffin Series in Business, this book explores the ethical consequences of agency theory through contributions by ethicists, economists, and management theorists.

Review The Corporate Governance Debate: Early Writings, 1873-1914 / Thoemmes Continuum:The rise of big trusts and corporations in the United States in the late nineteenth century was accompanied by serious legal and ethical abuses of power by these corporations and their managers, resulting in a bitter battle between the business establishment on the one hand and reform-minded journalists, lawyers, and economists on the other. The battle focused on these central ideas: What is the purpose of the business corporation? What is its place in society? What are its duties to that society, and what are the responsibilities of its managers and owners? This very timely set includes works by a number of major early writers on corporate governance. The books and articles presented here capture that debate in all its variety, and the views of their authors continue to resonate today.

Review The Accountable Corporation [Four Volumes] / Praeger Publishers: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".
