Abstract

The group began the online service in 1979 based on the Kluwer Law and Taxation publications. A description of the group and the Databank is given. The development of the online service is described and the needs of lawyers. There follows a non‐technical description of the dial‐up service based on a Honeywell computer using the STATUS software package. Text input procedures are outlined and particularly the use made of a Kurzweil Data Entry Machine. The databases contain an estimated 180 Megabytes and are growing by some 120 MB annually. 12000 cases and 18000 abstracts of legal literature are stored. The procedure for instructing users is shown with an example of a search and the prompt card. Some 50 terminals are now connected and over 350 users have been trained. Search evaluation revealed that searches for case‐law and literature for research is quite different from a search by a practising lawyer for a specific case or article. Details of costs of using the system are given. No refs.

Abstract

According to the press at the turn of the year 1999—2000, a good corporate reputation for responsible marketing is a key element in business success. One justification for this is the assumption that consumers are interested in how companies behave and this has an influence upon their consumption behaviour. There is also the suggestion that a financial pay‐off is to be gained from good behaviour. Conflicting reports in previous research cast doubt upon the reliability of these assumptions, and there are few studies which unequivocally support positive consumer purchasing in return for responsible marketing. This paper reviews current opinion and evidence in relation to the growing interest in corporate reputation, and reports findings from focus group research which casts doubt upon the efficacy of corporate reputation in influencing positive consumer purchase behaviour.

Abstract

Corporate social responsibility is one of the earliest and key conceptions in the academic study of business and society relations. This article examines the future of corporate social responsibility. Bowen's (1953) key question concerned whether the interests of business and society merge in the long ran. That question is assessed in the present and future contexts. There seem to be distinctly anti‐responsibility trends in recent academic literature and managerial views concerning best practices. These trends raise significant doubts about the future status of corporate social responsibility theory and practice. The vital change is that a leitmotif of wealth creation progressively dominates the managerial conception of responsibility. The article provides a developmental history of the corporate social responsibility notion from the Progressive Era forward to the corporate social performance framework and Carroll's pyramid of corporate social responsibilities. There are three emerging alternatives or competitors to responsibility: (1) an economic conception of responsibility; (2) global corporate citizenship; and (3) stakeholder management practices. The article examines and assesses each alternative. The article then assesses the prospects for business responsibility in a global context. Two fundamentals of social responsibility remain: (1) the prevailing psychology of the manager; and (2) the normative framework for addressing how that psychology should be shaped. Implications for practice and scholarship are considered.

Abstract

The nature, value, and neglect of integrity capacity by managers and the adverse impacts that Enron executive practices have had on a range of stakeholders are delineated. An explanation is given on how moral competence in management practice is addressed by each dimension of the management integrity capacity construct (process, judgment, development, and system) and how Enron executive practices eroded each dimension. Specifically addressed is how behavioral and moral complexity can be utilized to balance the competing values of management and ethics theories to reduce the likelihood of future Enron‐like managerial malpractice. Finally, three positive action steps are recommended to improve managerial integrity capacity and remedies are proposed for victimized Enron stakeholders.

Abstract

Considerable reliance is placed upon whistleblowers in protecting assets and detecting and avoiding financial crime. Despite this, they suffer persecution and often dismissal, and find they are abandoned by the organisations they thought they were helping, and by society at large whose wider interests they imagined they were serving. There are some signs of recognition of the contribution they make and the injustices they suffer, but equally there continues to be opposition. Internal audit whistleblowers are highlighted in case studies to indicate the ambivalent situation they find themselves in, and to highlight the problems that any employee may face. There is an urgent need to provide legal and other protections to whistleblowers.
