  • Mandating Diversity: the Inclusion Clause
    Call to Action Sara Lee's General Counsel: Making Diversity A Priority By Melanie Lasoff Levs For some committed general counsel, the standard talk about diversity is only a starting point. Recently, many corporate attorneys decided it was time to demand specific actions and results-with very real consequences. In spring 2004, Sara Lee General Counsel Roderick Palmore created "A Call to Action: Diversity in the Legal Profession," a document reaffirming a commitment to diversity in the law profession and taking action to ensure that corporate legal departments and law firms increase the numbers of women and minority attorneys hired and retained. And if law firms don't, the document states, "We [the undersigned corporate legal department representatives] further intend to end or limit our relationships with firms whose performance consistently evidences a lack of meaningful interest in being diverse." (See the sidebar in this article for the complete text.) Palmore wrote the Call to Action to build on a previous manifesto: former BellSouth General Counsel Charles Morgan's "Diversity in the Workplace: A Statement of Principle," written in 1999. "In that [document], signatories espoused an interest in diversity and the principle of diversity, which was a fabulous thing at the time," Palmore says. "But it struck me that not enough has happened. The progress of the profession-and more specifically the progress of large law firms-had stagnated." The Call to Action takes the Statement of Principle a step further, Palmore adds. "Its purpose is to take the general principle of interest in advancing diversity and translate that into action, into a commitment to act on, to make decisions about retaining law firms based in part on the diversity performance of those law firms." Discussion around the need for a Call to Action began in November 2003, when a group of general counsel gathered at the invitation of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA®), and the Association of the Corporate Counsel (ACC).

In developing the presentation to the partners, the case addresses the steps in strategic analysis and highlights the need for an integrative financial and marketing strategy. The case also illustrates how any industry evolves, but particularly how the retail store industry has brutalized those competitors who have not been willing to change. By putting the student in the shoes of the junior partner in an investment firm, the case also has the reader take responsibility for coming up with a range of potential ways of developing a strategy for repositioning Sears Holdings. The Sears Holdings case can be used in a course in strategic management, in marketing, or in strategic marketing. It could also serve as a foundation for further development in a finance course.

  • Who Is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards?
    Who is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards? An Analysis of the Fortune 500’s Leasing Obligations What Do Corporations Lease? Many companies lease (rather than buy) much of the equipment and real estate they use to run their business. Many of the office buildings, warehouses, retail stores or manufacturing plants companies run their operations from are leased. Many of the forklifts, trucks, computers and data center equipment companies use to run their business is leased. Leasing has many benefits. Cash flow is one. Instead of outlaying $300,000 to buy five trucks today you can make a series of payments over the next four years to lease them. You can then deploy the cash you saved towards other investments that appreciate in value. Also, regular replacement of older technology with the latest and greatest technology increases productivity and profitability. Instead of buying a server to use in your data center for five years, you can lease the machines and get a new replacement every three years. If you can return the equipment on time, you are effectively outsourcing the monetization of the residual value in the equipment to an expert third-party, the leasing company. Another benefit of leasing is the accounting, specifically the way the leases are reported on financial statements such as annual reports (10-Ks). Today, under the current ASC 840 standard, leases are classified as capital leases or operating leases. Capital leases are reported on the balance sheet. Operating leases are disclosed in the footnotes of your financial statements as “off balance sheet” operating expenses and excluded from important financial ratios such as Return on Assets that investors use to judge a company’s performance.
