A Battle Over Birth "Control": Legal And Legislative Employer Prescription Contraception Benefit Mandates, C. Keanin Loomis Dec 2002

A Battle Over Birth "Control": Legal And Legislative Employer Prescription Contraception Benefit Mandates, C. Keanin Loomis

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

Under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), employers are prohibited from discriminating against women by treating pregnancy and childbirth different from other medical conditions. Employers who offer medical benefits to their employees have thus been required to cover pregnancy-related medical costs on the same terms as other medical coverage. The cost of prescription contraception, however, has generally not been covered by employer-sponsored medical plans, even while other prescription drugs were. This Note examines the recent case of Erickson v. Bartell Drug Co., which challenged this practice of excluding prescription contraception coverage as discriminatory under the PDA, and argues that further federal …

Understanding Prophylactic Remedies Through The Looking Glass Of Bush V. Gore, Tracy A. Thomas Dec 2002

Understanding Prophylactic Remedies Through The Looking Glass Of Bush V. Gore, Tracy A. Thomas

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

Using the context of Bush v. Gore as a vehicle for discussion, Professor Thomas examines the use and legitimacy of prophylactic remedies. In this Article, Professor Thomas advances the argument that the broad prophylactic remedy provided by the U.S. Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore may be viewed as contrary to the law of remedies in that it operated to negate, rather than enforce, legal rights. In particular, prophylactic remedies which are untailored and unachievable, as in Bush v. Gore, threaten the legitimacy of prophylaxis. Professor Thomas argues that the use of prophylactic remedies itself is not problematic, but concludes …

The Living Commerce Clause: Federalism In Progressive Political Theory And The Commerce Clause After Lopez And Morrison, Eric R. Claeys Dec 2002

The Living Commerce Clause: Federalism In Progressive Political Theory And The Commerce Clause After Lopez And Morrison, Eric R. Claeys

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

"Living Constitution " ideas are most often associated with individual-rights guarantees like equal protection and due process, but they were originally developed in the early twentieth century to revolutionize the law of the structural Constitution - including the Commerce Clause. In this Article, Professor Claeys interprets Progressive political theory, which played a crucial role in legitimating the expansion of the national government. As applied to federalism, Progressive living-Constitution theory required that the Commerce Clause be interpreted as a constitutional transmitter letting the national government regulate whatever the American people deem to be a national problem. He suggests that this notion …

The Use Of Psychological State Terms By Late Talkers At Age 3, Eliza Carlson Lee, Leslie Rescorla Dec 2002

The Use Of Psychological State Terms By Late Talkers At Age 3, Eliza Carlson Lee, Leslie Rescorla

Psychology Faculty Research and Scholarship

The use of psychological state words during mother-child play sessions at age 3 was examined in 31 children diagnosed with delayed expressive language at 24-31 months and 21 age-matched typically developing comparison children. Children and mothers in the late talker group made more references to physiological states and fewer references to cognitive states than the children and mothers in the typically developing comparison group. The children's use of cognitive terms correlated significantly with measures of language ability, including mean length of utterance, Index of Productive Syntax score, and use of propositional complements, as well as with their mothers' use of …

Studying Organisational Culture : Hicom India, Abinash Panda, R K Gupta Dec 2002

Studying Organisational Culture : Hicom India, Abinash Panda, R K Gupta

IIMB Management Review

A strong culture facilitates coordination and communication and distinguishes successful organisations from others. In a market characterised by continuous innovation and swift imitation, a strong and productive culture can be an important source of sustainable competitive advantage because it is difficult to imitate. Managers need to learn that where culture may matter most is in its impact on the ‘hard’ stuff, such as strategy and structure. Practitioners and academics in India and abroad have been systematically attempting to understand organisational culture. Although the study of organisational culture gathered momentum in the early 80s, researchers by and large conceptualised culture from …

Microfinance In India And The Role Of It, Rahul Bhattacharya

Microfinance has proved to be extremely effective as a means of improving the economic condition and empowering the rural poor through participatory credit lending schemes. In an award winning student essay, Rahul Bhattacharya explains that microfinance helps the poor in various ways, not only by improving their economic condition, but also by means of the attendant benefits that a higher income level has on factors like health, education, economic and social status of women, and the general standard of living.

In an email chat with IIMB Management Review, V C Burman talked about the responsibilities of the family in family businesses, the need to professionalise and how Dabur has successfully gone about it.

Blending Business And It Strategy : A Conceptual Model, R Ramaswamy Dec 2002

Blending Business And It Strategy : A Conceptual Model, R Ramaswamy

IIMB Management Review

In this new age of the knowledge-based economy, the search for a more dynamic and sustainable competitive advantage has led to many organisations investing substantially in IT–based tools and solutions. But in most cases these investments have not been justified by the returns. The main reason for this is the disjointed manner of framing business and IT strategies leading to the segregation of the people, process, and technology aspects of management. Moreover, the benefits are marginal if carried out over existing strategies, structures, and processes. To derive the real benefits of investments in IT and paradigms of transformation in the …

Does Nationality Affect Job Satisfaction?, Furqan Qamar, Talal Al Junaibi Dec 2002

Does Nationality Affect Job Satisfaction?, Furqan Qamar, Talal Al Junaibi

IIMB Management Review

Job satisfaction and the factors that contribute to it are well-researched phenomena. Despite this, however, theories of job satisfaction are still not well perfected. Research in the field falls into five categories based on the causes of satisfaction they seek to establish: need fulfilment models, discrepancy models, value attainment models, equity models and trait component models. The last category includes studies that investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and the cultural and ethnic background of employees. Studies in this area report contradictory findings. Furqan Qamar and Talal Al Junaibi survey the literature and find that though several studies have been …

Ethics In Business : An Overview, Rishikesha T Krishnan Dec 2002

Ethics In Business : An Overview, Rishikesha T Krishnan

IIMB Management Review

Finding a model to ensure ethical behaviour will be as elusive as the alchemists’ quest for a way of converting base metals into gold. More so, in India where the atmosphere is far from conducive to ethical behaviour. Yet, heightened public opinion and assertion by citizens’ bodies can eliminate, corruption.

Ethics For Business : Drawing On Indian Values, S K Chakraborty Dec 2002

Ethics For Business : Drawing On Indian Values, S K Chakraborty

IIMB Management Review

Prof S K Chakraborty of the Management Centre for Human Values, IIM Calcutta, and author of the Management Ethics Omnibus, shares the essence of his enquiry into the field for over two decades. To the basic question from students and managers as to what there is in ethics for them, teachers must communicate that ethics has fundamental existential payoffs. Especially in today’s fast-paced world, where patience is no longer a virtue and ‘false gospels’ such as rank ordering and corporate gladiatorism are being embraced in toto by the Indian intellectual elite, without pausing to reflect on their own tradition and …

Whither Business Ethics Teaching In India?, R C Sekhar Dec 2002

Whither Business Ethics Teaching In India?, R C Sekhar

IIMB Management Review

In his effort to analyse the state of business ethics teaching in India, R C Sekhar, Professor Emeritus, T A Pai Management Institute and author of Ethical Choices in Businesses, begins by identifying the six different segments of stakeholders involved and their differing expectations. While conceding that it is a ‘desirable but daunting task’ to establish congruence of interest between teachers, students, Indian employers, global employers, Indian society and global society, he takes the pragmatic first step of devising a strategy of teaching ethics, which would consider the interests of teachers and students.From the salient trends in Indian teaching and …

Teaching Ethics : The Underpinnings, Fr K Cyriac Dec 2002

Teaching Ethics : The Underpinnings, Fr K Cyriac

IIMB Management Review

Fr Cyriac, Professor of Organisational Behaviour, IIM Kozhikode, begins by questioning whether management education as it is imparted today, is sending confusing signals to well-intentioned students. Managers certainly need an ethical framework in order to function effectively and the crucial issue in business ethics revolves around the anchor base of values. While experts in the field often take pleasure in comparing different theories and approaches, what is needed in management education and practice is an honest attempt to balance means and ends, processes and products, consumption and preservation, competition and cooperation, IQ and EQ, self and society. In this framework …

Teaching Ethics Effectively, B A Prajapati Dec 2002

Teaching Ethics Effectively, B A Prajapati

IIMB Management Review

Stating his proposition pithily, B A Prajapati, Professor and Head, S K School of Business Management, North Gujarat University, enumerates the three basic areas of managerial decision-making: choices about the law, choices about economic and social issues beyond the domain of the law – the ‘people values’, and choices between self-interest and the interests of the company/its stakeholders. Business ethics is the study of how moral norms apply to these activities and goals of commercial enterprise and how the business context poses its own unique problems for the moral person who acts as an agent of this system. Exercising power …

Exploring Ethical Dimensions Through Fiction, Abha Chatterjee Dec 2002

Exploring Ethical Dimensions Through Fiction, Abha Chatterjee

IIMB Management Review

Based on her experience with students of science and engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Prof Abha Chatterjee provides a case study for exploring the dimensions of ethics through fiction. While literature can be an instrument in raising a variety of ethical values and themes, its advantage lies in that it deals with the concrete and the particular and readers can learn from it without the intense emotional upheavals that accompany such dilemmas in everyday life. Muktadhara, a play by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore was selected as a case study as it evokes problems which engineers would identify …

Business Ethics : The Mindtree Perspective, S Janakiraman Dec 2002

Business Ethics : The Mindtree Perspective, S Janakiraman

IIMB Management Review

Right at its inception, says S Janakiraman, one of the co-founders of MindTree Consulting, it was realised at MindTree that implanting ethical corporate values was absolutely essential for long-term strategic success. While their mission statement — ‘Deliver business-enabling solutions and technologies by creating partnerships with our customers in a joyous environment for our people’—is the unifying force between the business and its customers, their DNA—Imagination, Action and Joy — nurtures and aligns people, and builds the emotional and psychological ecology of the organisation. Their value statement —‘We are a Caring, Learning, Achieving, Sharing and Socially responsible organisation (CLASS)’— connotes integrity …

Business And Ethics, Narender Dhand Dec 2002

Business And Ethics, Narender Dhand

IIMB Management Review

Short cuts in earning wealth and a preoccupation with business growth to the neglect of other elements, inevitably spell grief, so believes Narender Dhand, Founder, Chairman and MD of Micromatic Grinding Technologies, a company which began as a ‘modest tool room’ and now occupies a dominant position in the Indian machine tool industry. Before dealing with ‘external’ ethics, Dhand believes in putting his own house in order. At the foundation of the core values of MGT is the commitment to ethical business practices with a people focus. The MGT culture is operationalised in their scrupulously honest dealings with the authorities, …

Business Ethics : The Indian Reality, Rajneesh Krishna, Atul Tandan Dec 2002

Business Ethics : The Indian Reality, Rajneesh Krishna, Atul Tandan

IIMB Management Review

Business ethics in an organisation originates from an interplay of its structure and culture, the compulsions of its business category and the culture of the societal system surrounding it. In India, business ethics have evolved from the origins of industry in the last quarter of the 19th century, through its consolidation during the British Raj based on the values of the European Renaissance: individualism, equality, democracy, liberalism and centrality of work. The Western industrial organisation was implanted in India, where the dominant values were holism (performance of group over individual), hierarchy and continuity. Work was not a tool to realise …

Ethics And The ‘Other’, Dipankar Gupta Dec 2002

Ethics And The ‘Other’, Dipankar Gupta

IIMB Management Review

What stops top management from embracing business ethics systems, according to Dipankar Gupta, Professor, JNU and Consultant to KPMG, is the lack of clarity on the subject. All too often, business ethics is equated with religion, spiritualism, or philanthropy. In reality, ethics is a practical approach towards attaining goals in an environment that involves other people. Every right thinking executive would like to function in an environment where norms are explicit and elaborate. The institution of norms, business principles, codes of conduct, mission and vision statements is a call to business ethics and when instituted in a dialogic process the …
