Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to provide an analysis and report on the current regulatory environment for US hedge funds and explore the latest actions from governmental groups and the private sector.

Design/methodology/approach

A compilation of the most recent government communications, legislative proposals, industry newsletters and seminars, and other related sources.

Findings

US regulation surrounding hedge funds is in a state of flux. Substantially more pension money being invested in hedge funds has become a very important factor in the discussions. Hedge funds that are already registered are staying so in the vast majority of cases. The consensus is that more regulation is likely; however, what form that regulation will take is still unsettled at this point.

Originality/value

Based on first‐hand experience working with hedge funds, the authors have endeavored to present and outline the most up‐to‐date information on this hot‐button issue.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the practices and findings of a visual inquiry developed by the co‐authors with students in a Business School in the south west of England. The authors are interested in how students engaged with the visual as a practice of inquiry and how this contributed to their development of a critical approach to the concept of ethics in business organisations.

Design/methodology/approach

Students visited an exhibition shown as part of the 100 days countdown to the COP15 UN climate change conference, and constructed visual representation of questions and dilemmas related to ethical business practice. The analysis focuses on student presentations, and the discussions that these provoked on the relationship between “business” and “ethical practice”.

Findings

Doing co‐inquiry with visual images enabled many students to engage more proactively with ethical dilemmas; to attend to deeply felt values that they were not accustomed to bring into the rule bound environment of the classroom; to develop critical readings of the visual as a discourse about business organisations and their claims to ethical practice; and to create their own visual representations of ethical dilemmas within business practice.

Originality/value

The research methodology brings together inquiry‐based learning and visual inquiry in the context of undergraduate learning in a business school. The paper considers the significance of the methodology and findings as a contribution to visual inquiry methodology and practice, and as a medium for enabling students in a business school to develop their ethical sensibility.
