Ankli American University of Kuwait [email protected] & Gary D. Gold American University of Sharjah - [email protected] Abstract: The credit market meltdown and governance misbehavior have triggered conversations among business leaders, business educators, and the business press about what firms expected and what was taught to future managers. Economists created “rational choice” models to explain why people do what they do. The social sciences were uniting under the idea that people are rational agents who set goals and pursue them intelligently by using the information and resources at their disposal. But rational analysis has come under some criticism. This paper will examine the work of Jonathan Haidt (The Happiness Hypothesis and The Righteous Mind) who uses a social psychology framework to consider lying and cheating. Dan Ariely (The Honest Truth about Dishonesty, Predictably Irrational, and The Upside of Irrationality) uses a behavioral economics approach to examine business ethics. Paper presented: Every few years, maybe more often, there are major business ethics failures. The press always treats such occurrences with great surprise. However, we should not be surprised. “’What Ever Happened to Ethics?’ screams the Time magazine cover. But the issue is not referring to the present…The publication date is May 15, 1987 and rampant white collar crime…is being bemoaned.” (Wishloff 71) Nothing has changed, nor was it different in the past. The August 16 (2013) Wall Street Journal’s Five Best (books) recommended books on love and desire in the Gilded Age. Janet Wallach (the author) chose Theodore Dreiser’s The Financier (based on true events) to head her list. She concludes that we idolize the self-made billionaire; a genius, we say, and close our eyes to his schemes. Before that there was Jay Cooke and corruption during the Grant presidency. In the 1920s there was the Teapot Dome scandal and, in this century there was Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, and others. Laws are passed, most recently Sarbanes-Oxley and then Dodd-Frank. But as of August 22, 2013, regulators have finalized only 158 of 398 rules called for in the legislation and regulators have missed 172 of 279 rule-making deadlines, according to the law firm, Davis Polk (Washington

Todd Henderson and James C. Spindler* Abstract: We argue that firms undertake to reduce employee savings in order to avoid final period problems that occur when employees accumulate enough wealth to retire and leave the industry. Normally, reputation constrains employee behavior, since an employee who “cheats” at one firm will then find herself unable to get a job at another.

  • NARRATIVES of the ENRON SCANDAL in 2000S POLITICAL CULTURE
    BIG BUSINESS, DEMOCRACY, AND THE AMERICAN WAY: NARRATIVES OF THE ENRON SCANDAL IN 2000s POLITICAL CULTURE Rosalie Genova A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Dr. John Kasson Dr. Michael Hunt Dr. Peter Coclanis Dr. Lawrence Grossberg Dr. Benjamin Waterhouse © 2010 Rosalie Genova ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ROSALIE GENOVA: Big Business, Democracy, and the American Way: Narratives of The Enron Scandal in 2000s Political Culture (Under the Direction of Dr. John Kasson) This study examines narratives of the Enron bankruptcy and their political, cultural and legal ramifications. People’s understandings and renderings of Enron have affected American politics and culture much more than have the company’s actual errors, blunders and lies. Accordingly, this analysis argues that narratives about Enron were, are, and will continue to be more important than any associated “facts.” Central themes of analysis include the legitimacy and accountability of leadership (both governmental and in business); contestation over who does or does not “understand” business, economics, or the law, and the implications thereof; and conceptions of the American way, the American dream, and American civic culture. The study also demonstrates how Enron narratives fit in to longer patterns of American commentary on big business. iii Dedicated to the memory of my father Paul, 1954-2008 the only “Doctor Genova” I have ever known iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To a certain extent, the colleagues who have been making fun of me ever since I developed my dissertation topic are right: this research process has been different, shall we say, from that of most historians.

Followers were all too quick to follow their example. Therefore, implications for teaching leadership ethics include, educators must: (a) share some of the blame for what happened at Enron, (b) integrate ethics into the rest of the curriculum, (c) highlight the responsibilities of both leaders and followers, (d) address both individual and contextual variables that encourage corruption, (e) recognize the importance of trust and credibility in the leader-follower relationship, and (f) hold followers as well as leaders accountable for ethical misdeeds.

Bsumek Electronic Bits and Ten Gallon Hats: Enron, American Culture and the Postindustrial Political Economy by Gavin Giles Benke, B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2012 Dedication In memory of Albert Benke. Acknowledgements Like any large project, this dissertation would not have been completed without the help and input of many people. First, I must thank my wonderful and patient dissertation committee. As co-chair, Jeffrey Meikle was an invaluable resource and encouraging voice throughout the process. He endured countless hours spent listening to me work through some of the thornier problems that appeared while researching and writing. Even before starting the dissertation, his work on industrial design provided an invaluable model for studying the intersections of corporations and cultural production. Steve Hoelscher, my other co-chair, has played a large part in changing the way that I approach scholarship. Along with his graduate seminar on cultural geography and a geography field exam, our many conversations opened up a whole new way of thinking about culture for me. From an early point, when he grabbed a pad of Enron letterhead that he had chanced across and gave it to me, Mark Smith proved to be an enthusiastic and supportive reader.

    01-Johnson (Ethical).qxd 10/12/2004 6:53 PM Page 9 1 The Leader’s Light or Shadow We are not angels, but we may at times be better versions of ourselves. Historian Erwin Hargrove What’s Ahead This chapter introduces the metaphor of light and shadow to highlight the ethical challenges of leadership. Leaders have the power to illuminate the lives of followers or to cover them in darkness. They cast shadows when they (a) abuse power, (b) hoard privileges, (c) engage in deceit, (d) act inconsis- tently, (e) misplace or betray loyalties, and (f) fail to assume responsibilities. A Dramatic Difference In an influential essay entitled “Leading From Within,” educational writer and consultant Parker Palmer introduced a powerful metaphor to dramatize the distinction between ethical and unethical leadership. According to Palmer, the difference between moral and immoral leaders is as sharp as the contrast between light and darkness, between heaven and hell. A leader is a person who has an unusual degree of power to create the conditions under which other people must live and move and have their being, conditions that can either be as illuminating as heaven or as shadowy as hell. A leader must take special responsibility for what is going on inside his or her own self, inside his or her consciousness, lest the act of leadership create more harm than good.1 9 01-Johnson (Ethical).qxd 10/12/2004 6:53 PM Page 10 10—THE SHADOW SIDE OF LEADERSHIP Psychotherapist Carl Jung was the first social scientist to identify the shadow side of the personality.
