Update Report: Missouri’S Dirty Dozen, The Humane Society Of The United States
PUPPY MILL INFORMATION
Late last year, researchers at The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) spent weeks poring over state and federal inspection reports, investigators’ photographs, and enforcement records to compile a list of some of the worst puppy mills in Missouri, known as “Missouri’s Dirty Dozen.” The report included direct quotes detailing horrific care violations documented in the facilities’ federal and/or state kennel inspection reports. The violations included thin-coated breeds like Italian greyhounds found shivering in the cold in temperatures as low as 9 degrees, dogs with open, oozing or bleeding sores, underweight dogs with their entire skeletal structures showing, and …

Many corporations have embraced online social networking to supplement their marketing programs and communications with employees, customers, vendors, and others. Corporations also use social networking to discover inappropriate employee behavior, encourage productivity, recruit individuals, and investigate job applicants and current employees.

Collective Choice, Justin Schwartz
Justin Schwartz
This short nontechnical article reviews the Arrow Impossibility Theorem and its implications for rational democratic decisionmaking. In the 1950s, economist Kenneth J. Arrow proved that no method for producing a unique social choice involving at least three choices and three actors could satisfy four seemingly obvious constraints that are practically constitutive of democratic decisionmaking. Any such method must violate such a constraint and risks leading to disturbingly irrational results such and Condorcet cycling. I explain the theorem in plain, nonmathematical language, and discuss the history, range, and prospects of avoiding what seems like a fundamental theoretical challenge to the possibility …

The Ethics Of Carbon Neutrality: A Critical Examination Of Voluntary Carbon Offset Providers, K. Kathy Dhanda, Laura Hartman
Laura Hartman
In this paper, we explore the world’s response to the increasing impact of carbon emissions on the sobering threat posed by global warming: the carbon offset market. Though the market is a relatively new one, it has quickly spawned countless offset providers under both regulated and voluntary regimes. Due to the naïveté of some stakeholders who participate in the market surrounding its rather technical aspects, no common quality or certification structure has emerged for providers. In fact, there are claims to the contrary, that a somewhat ‘cowboy’ atmosphere exists, and that there are “widespread instances of people and organizations buying …

Development, Poverty And Business Ethics, Laura Hartman, Patricia Werhane

Proposals surrounding poverty alleviation are greatly affected by the ways in which we think about people living in conditions of extreme poverty. The success or failure of those proposals, when operationalized, depends upon our mental models and the ways in which we calibrate and then integrate the narratives we encounter. While others have envisioned a role for multinational enterprises (MNEs) in alleviating global poverty, these schemes lack the catalysts of moral imagination and systems thinking necessary to modify MNE mental models toward sustainable solutions that also create board-based stakeholder value. We will outline the parameters of the challenge, explain the …

‘Connecting The World Through Games’: Creating Shared Value In The Case Of Zynga’S Corporate Social Strategy, Laura Hartman, E. Mead, D. Christman, P. Werhane

When using cases to teach corporate strategy and ethical decision-making, the aim is demonstrate to students that leadership decision-making is at its most effective when all affected stakeholders are considered, from shareholders and employees, to the local, national, and global societies in which the company operates. This paper challenges the obstructive perception of many Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) advocates that the interests of private organizations in the alleviation of social problems should not be vested, but instead should originate from charitable purposes. We evaluate an alternative approach to the role of business in contributing to social progress - Creating Shared …
Board Diversity And Firm Performance: The Indonesian Evidence,

Board Diversity And Firm Performance: The Indonesian Evidence, Salim Darmadi
Salim Darmadi
This paper examines the associations between diversity of board members and financial performance of the firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Three demographic characteristics of board members—gender, nationality, and age—are used as the proxies for diversity. Using a sample of 169 listed firms, this study finds that both accounting and market performance have significant negative associations with gender diversity. Nationality diversity is found to have no influence on firm performance. In contrast, the proportion of young members is positively related to market performance, providing evidence that young people in the boardrooms are associated with improved financial performance.

Electronic Perceived Service Quality: Results From A Cross-National Study In The Context Of Mobile Internet Services, Pavlos A. Vlachos, George Giaglis, Inseong Lee, Adam Vrechopoulos
Pavlos A Vlachos
Work on how consumers evaluate electronic service quality is both topical and important due to the well-accepted criticality of electronic channels in selling products and services. However, most of the relevant research on electronic research quality is preoccupied with the website Internet context and most of the studies are singlecountry studies, inhibiting conclusions of generalizibility. Theoretically rooted in the Nordic Model of perceived service quality, this exploratory study uses an e-service quality scale to measure mobile Internet service quality in different national settings. Consistent with the available e-service quality literature, results indicate that e-service quality is a second-order factor, with …

Too Much Of A Good Thing: Curvilinear Effects Of Service Evaluation Constructs And The Mediating Role Of Trust, Pavlos A. Vlachos, Katerina Pramatari, Adam Vrechopoulos
Pavlos A Vlachos
PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER. The satisfaction-trust paradigm has been recently criticized regarding its ability to deliver positive consumer behavioral outcomes. This study argues that -amongst others- a reason for this unpleasant situation may be the failure of service managers to account for non-linearities in the satisfaction-trust paradigm. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH. The setting for this study has been the super-market retail channel. A total of 942 respondents were “intercepted” in supermarket stores, employing a face-to-face personal interviewing method. For the detection of curvilinear effects the study employed the two-step single indicant method of Ping (1998). FINDINGS. We posit consumer trust as an important …

Reconsidering Arbitration: Evaluating The Future Of The Manifest Disregard Doctrine, Griffin Toronjo Pivateau
Griffin Toronjo Pivateau
In a recent decision, the Supreme Court indicated that parties may now have fewer rights to appeal arbitration awards. In Hall Street v. Mattel, Inc., the Court found that parties to an arbitration agreement could not supplement, by contract, the statutory grounds for challenging an arbitration award. Unfortunately, the Court called into doubt a long line of cases holding that a party could seek to vacate an arbitration decision where the arbitrator exhibited a manifest disregard for the law. Until the Hall Street decision, the manifest disregard doctrine enjoyed widespread acceptance. Appellate courts from every circuit have used the manifest …
