Alleviating Global Poverty Through Profitable Partnerships: Moral Imagination & Economic Well-Being, Laura Hartman, P. Werhane, D. Moberg, S. Kelley
Laura Hartman
While at least one out of six in the global human population cannot meet the basic demands of survival and they have little ability to buy goods and services, this situation also presents potential new markets for multinational enterprises seeking long-term sustainability. If economic growth is a continuing and positive goal for the planet and for global companies, then, as markets in developed economies become saturated, these new markets provide fresh opportunities to satisfy this objective.

Transnational Corporations (Tncs) And The Effective Implementation Of Social And Economic Rights: Current And Prospective Avenues, Analia Marsella
Transnational Corporations (Tncs) And The Effective Implementation Of Social And Economic Rights: Current And Prospective Avenues, Analia Marsella
Analia Marsella Sende
In this Essay, I explain the role and impact of transnational corporations in the process of development and implementation of economic and social rights at a global scale and identify the solutions that I regard as plausible. I do so from an international human rights perspective that integrates both the legal and non-legal approaches. I concentrate on the international aspects of legalization, adjudication, and policy making. First, I analyze social and economic rights in the current context, the old and most recent understandings, and the challenges posed by the phenomenon of globalization together with the rising of corporations in the …
Csr Orientation And Organisational Performance In The Australian Retail Industry, Andrew J. Zur
Csr Orientation And Organisational Performance In The Australian Retail Industry, Andrew J. Zur
AZ
This study aims to contribute to current business ethics literature by conceptualising the relationship between organisational culture, corporate strategy, and target stakeholders and the formation of a CSR orientation. The study will further explore whether corporate social responsibility policies and practices will result in an overall improved positional advantage for the firm and, as a consequence, positively enhance organisational performance. These relationships will be examined within the context of the retail industry in Australia, focusing on the food, clothing and textiles, and footwear sectors.

Business, Profit, Partnership And The Global Common Good, Scott Kelley, Patricia Werhane, Laura Hartman
Business, Profit, Partnership And The Global Common Good, Scott Kelley, Patricia Werhane, Laura Hartman
Laura Hartman
The chapter considers the reduction of poverty through for-profit initiatives, with a critique of global corporations that take goods and services out of the "bottom of the pyramid" rather than developing new markets that provide new jobs as well as export products and services. Thus, the common good is served through economic empowerment without having to appeal to global philanthropy. An inversion of intuitive thinking is proposed whereby models for for-profit initiatives are considered that will contribute to the common good rather than using a notion of the common good to inspire global companies.
Interpreting Ethical Polyphony, David Bevan, Laura Hartman
Interpreting Ethical Polyphony, David Bevan, Laura Hartman
Laura Hartman
The second part of the polyphonic conversation introduced by the article immediately preceding it, above. In this segment, we interpret the responses proffered and offer summative analysis. The authors do pragmatically agree upon a provisional closing. However, given the scope to argue endlessly in a trite pseudo intellectual either/either argument (Gershwin & Gershwin, 1936), our accord convenes artificially on the metaphor of a woven tapestry. The opening promise of interpretation is something that is left, in deconstruction, with individual readers.

Saint Vincent De Paul And The Mission Of The Institute For Business & Professional Ethics: Why Companies Should Care About Poverty, Patricia Werhane, Laura Hartman, Scott Kelley
Laura Hartman
In 2006, following St. Vincent of DePaul’s commitment to serving the poor, the IBPE aligned its mission with that of DePaul University’s: “serving first-generation and underserved student populations and …addressing social issues.” This initiative was further promoted by DePaul’s new strategic plan, Vision Twenty12. As a result, IBPE enhanced its mission to include becoming a catalyst aimed to inspire companies to address the reduction of poverty both globally and locally through for-profit initiatives. There are many dimensions to the achievement of this mission, including teaching, research, and community outreach; and the Institute is just beginning this lifetime set of projects. …
De Evoluerende Marktpositie Van Beschutte Werkplaatsen In Vlaanderen: Uitdagingen En Knelpunten, Wim Van Opstal, Jozef Pacolet
De Evoluerende Marktpositie Van Beschutte Werkplaatsen In Vlaanderen: Uitdagingen En Knelpunten, Wim Van Opstal, Jozef Pacolet
Wim Van Opstal
Beschutte werkplaatsen hebben als grootste speler in de sociale inschakelingseconomie goed weten door te dringen in onze economie. Dit brengt echter ook de confrontatie met alle uitdagingen van een competitieve economische omgeving met zich mee. Het HIVA voerde een onderzoek uit naar de uitdagingen waarmee de beschutte werkplaatsen in Vlaanderen geconfronteerd worden vanuit hun evoluerende marktpositie. Daarnaast belicht deze studie de knelpunten vanuit de interne organisatie van beschutte werkplaatsen om het hoofd te kunnen bieden aan deze uitdagingen. De vitaliteit van de beschutte werkplaatsen aan de ene kant en de kwetsbaarheid ervan aan de andere kant, is het genuanceerde beeld …
Coöperaties In De Social Profit? Een Verkenning., Wim Van Opstal
Coöperaties In De Social Profit? Een Verkenning., Wim Van Opstal
Wim Van Opstal
Het is ondertussen meer dan 150 jaar geleden dat de eerste coöperaties werden opgericht om de levensstandaard van arbeiders en boeren te verbeteren. De jongste jaren begint men de coöperatie echter opnieuw te ontdekken als instrument om economische activiteiten te combineren met sociale doelstellingen. In deze bijdrage belichten we de rol die coöperaties spelen binnen het activiteitenspectrum van de social profit in een internationaal kader en staan we stil bij de vraag of dit ook voor Vlaanderen een interessant alternatief kan bieden.

Political Liberalism And Public Reason, Mario Šilar
Mario Šilar
The paper explores John Rawls´s idea of public reason, as reflected in Political Liberalism and The Idea of Public Reason Revisited. In Rawls’s later works, public reason acquires fundamental significance as a criterion by which the principles to be assumed from the outset in a theory of political justice may be determined. The starting-point for Rawls´s theory -the idea of citizens as free and equal reveals- that this abstraction falls short of an authentic conception of human beings as social by nature. A brief study of key issues concerning marriage and the family shows the difficulties that underlie this question. …

Some Are More Equal: The Politics Of Shareholder Activism, Donald Nordberg
Some Are More Equal: The Politics Of Shareholder Activism, Donald Nordberg
Donald Nordberg
This paper is an early draft of a chapter in the book Corporate Governance: A Synthesis of Theory, Research, and Practice (H. Kent Baker and Ronald Anderson, eds.) published by Wiley in 2010. Shareholder activism is an exercise of power, sometime benign, sometimes threatening to the interests of corporate management, boards and other shareholders. The complexity of these combinations helps to understand how difficult it is for directors to operate in shareholders' interest. What we see, particularly in relation to the growth of hedge-fund activism, is greater dispersion of shareholder interests and growing questions about the legitimacy of how those …
Global Governance Organizations: Legitimacy And Authority In Conflict, Jonathan Koppell
Global Governance Organizations: Legitimacy And Authority In Conflict, Jonathan Koppell
Jonathan GS Koppell
Global governance organizations (GGOs) are frequently maligned as both illegitimate and ineffective. With the growing prominence of entities that promulgate global rules governing trade, communications, finance, and transport, these shortcomings take on greater importance. This essay presents a theoretical framework to understand the challenge of legitimacy for GGOs. It argues that GGOs tend to face trade-offs between legitimacy and authority, but that widespread usages of these important terms conflate or confuse them and thus obscure critical issues in GGO politics. Once these terms are more clearly defined, we see more easily that GGOs must sometimes violate democratic norms, sacrificing equality …

"This year’s Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) U.S. report comes at a pivotal point in the race to address global climate change. While public policy, consumer concern, and stakeholder awareness have converged on the issue, the need for corporate America to actively confront the challenges a carbon-constrained global economy presents has never been more urgent."
