Worker Rights And Low Wage Industrialization: How To Avoid Sweatshops, Denis Arnold, Laura Hartman Aug 2006

Worker Rights And Low Wage Industrialization: How To Avoid Sweatshops, Denis Arnold, Laura Hartman

Laura Hartman

Disputes concerning global labor practices are at the core of contemporary debates regarding globalization. Critics have charged multinational enterprises with the unjust exploitation of workers in the developing world. In response, some economists and “classical liberals” have argued that these criticisms are grounded in a naïve understanding of global economics. They contend instead that sweatshops constitute an inevitable and essential feature of economic development. To the contrary, we argue that there are persuasive theoretical and empirical reasons for rejecting the arguments of these defenders of sweatshops. In particular, we argue that respecting workers entail an obligation to adhere to local …

Wittgenstein And The Metaphysics Of Ethical Value, Julian Friedland Jan 2006

Wittgenstein And The Metaphysics Of Ethical Value, Julian Friedland

Julian Friedland

This paper develops Wittgenstein’s view of how experiences of ethical value contribute to our understanding of the world. Such experiences occur when we perceive certain intrinsic attributes of a particular being, object, or location as valuable irrespective of any concern for personal gain. It is shown that experiences of ethical value essentially involve a characteristic ‘listening’ to the ongoing transformations and actualizations of a given form of life—literally or metaphorically speaking. Such immediate impressions of spontaneous sympathy and agreement reveal ethics and aesthetics as transcendental. Ultimately, I will attempt to show that from this point of view, forms of life …

An Analysis Of Ethics, Csr, And Sustainability Education In The Financial Times Top 50 Global Business Schools: Baseline Data And Future Research Directions, Lisa Jones Christenson, Ellen Peirce, Laura Hartman, Michael Hoffman, Jamie Carrier

Laura Hartman

This paper investigates how deans and directors at the top 50 global MBA programs (as rated by the Financial Times in their 2006 Global MBA rankings) respond to questions about the inclusion and coverage of the topics of ethics, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability at their respective institutions. This work purposely investigates each of the three topics separately. Our findings reveal that 1) a majority of the schools require that one or more of these topics be covered in their MBA curriculum and one-third of the schools require coverage of all three topics as part of the MBA curriculum, 2) …


Positive Ethical Deviance Inspired By Moral Imagination: The Entrepreneur As Deviant, Laura Hartman, Fiona Wilson, Denis Arnold Jan 2006

Positive Ethical Deviance Inspired By Moral Imagination: The Entrepreneur As Deviant, Laura Hartman, Fiona Wilson, Denis Arnold

Laura Hartman

The purpose of this paper is to extend the concept of positive ethical deviancy and moral imagination to the entrepreneurial environment. We specifically explore the connection between moral imagination and positive ethical deviance in firms that, from their inception, display positive deviance from established ethical industry norms. Our analysis identifies firms that do not deviate positively under pressure, or for other externally imposed reasons, but instead those that make a conscious and deliberate choice to adopt new and often radical approaches to ethical issues from the ground up, distinguishing them from standard entrepreneurs in the same industry. This exploration uncovers …

Audit Committee Financial Experts: A Closer Examination Using Firm Designations, Joseph V. Carcello, Cw Hollingsworth, Terry L. Neal Jan 2006

Audit Committee Financial Experts: A Closer Examination Using Firm Designations, Joseph V. Carcello, Cw Hollingsworth, Terry L. Neal

Joseph V. Carcello

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) requires the disclosure of whether the audit committee has a financial expert. We examine disclosures related to audit committee financial experts (ACFEs) in the first year that this disclosure requirement is in effect. We find that virtually all companies disclose whether an ACFE is on the audit committee, although the transparency of the disclosure regarding the ACFE’s background is limited. We also find that most ACFEs do not have a background in accounting or finance, although there are notable differences between stock exchanges on this dimension. In addition, we find that companies designate ACFEs who would …
