1968 Lincoln Continental

far ... / From far-away my winter holidays

not never thought I'd be able to go home to this remote destination that is South Africa ... I would not have believed that everything that happened to me before leaving looks like it was impossible to leave: the unresolved issues at work and up to a terrible virus, there have been around all through my last few days home state.
Yet we left, I traveled, I got.

write this first week in Cape Town. It was a quiet week, because that's the spirit of the place and I felt full. I've had for a few rides on the ubiquitous mountains here, where my host Sue goes every morning, inevitably, along with their three dogs.

Cape Town is a huge city, very large, dominated by ocean and mountains. Sue lives in a beautiful area with large houses and gardens and more, as a residential area. In their home are, currently, some of their children, who welcomed me here on a temporary or sister who came outside to their quiet time, for nobody knows how long:)

After a week I feel part of the family, I manage to handle the house and cooking and I! It was extremely difficult to understand how these people live and still do not know if I got the real deal or just a trial from the perspective of cultural and anthropological ... In any case, I fail to detach from all those they've left home and are collected in a bag somewhere in my memory that hangs heavy in the rear. Beyond the mountains

guys are wonderful, beautiful gardens around me, beyond each sunrise with distant horizon, across the Atlantic that I admired it hitting the steep cliffs of the shores of Hout Bay, somewhere among the hundreds Fynbos plants in the universe and the incredible natural wealth of South Africa, have seen a few times day ... Romania. From thousands of miles away, passes through my soul in a way impossible. Maybe it's reminiscent of the pain that I carry inside me for 8 months when I went to Bucharest, maybe it is home sick or maybe just me certain things find their place so close to each other that is confusing. There could be things of universal nature, and then no matter what label cultural / national / linguistic gate "so to me, says mountain mountain, grass so the grass is said to me. Therefore, for me, the fountain springs, therefore, for me, life is lived. " **



I Would Have Never believed That I'll actually manage to leave home to this far-away destination which is South Africa… I would never have believed it because of everything that happened to me just before leaving: from unsolved issues at work to the flu, I’ve had it all. Still, I managed to leave, I have traveled and I arrived.

I am writing these lines after my first week in Cape Town. It has been a relaxed week, for this is the spirit of the place and I have really felt it. There was time for some walks on the mountains that are everywhere here and that my hostess, Sue, visits every morning, along with her 3 dogs.

Cape Town is a huge city, dominated by the oceans and the mountains. Sue lives in a very beautiful area, with big houses and gardens, an area of just houses. I am currently living in their house, Where I Have Been Their integrated as a member of family. It is really nice how people live here, in a relaxed SUCH Manner and so openly. I'm not sure I can really understand it or I'm just Judging from year anthropological-cultural perspective. In Any case, it is hard to actually fly away from home and all the issues I left behind.

R. Edward Freeman and Barak Obama in 2008's 100 Most influential in Business Ethics Generosity

Ethisphere, "The World's Most Recognized Name in Business Ethics and Anti-Corruption" carried on the end of 2008 top 100 most influential people in business ethics. The 100 are part of the nine categories: Government and Regulatory, Business Leadership, Non-Government Organisation, Design and Sustainability, Media and whistleblowers, Thought Leadership, Corporate Culture, Investment and Research and Legal and Governance.
What caught my attention was the reason for including reading list of those persons in the top 100. Barak Obama, for example, the 14th .. made promises, and RE Freeman, author of stakeholder theory year University of Virginia, wrote ... too much.

14. Barack Obama - U.S. President Elect

Category: Government and Regulatory
Did What? He made

Obama Promises made ethics a cornerstone of HAS HIS administration, Which in turn caused already HAS a priority on ethics to Trickle down into public and private companies. Many businesses have already responded directly or indirectly by shifting their overall business strategy.


78. R. Edward Freeman – Professor of Business Administration at The Darden School, University of Virginia

Category: Thought Leadership
Did What? He wrote…a lot

Another repeat from the 2007 list, Freeman doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. His hand (brain) must be getting tired from all the books he has written (and currently is writing). Notably in 2008 his idea of “stakeholder theory,” a theory that takes into account business ethics when managing an organization, really took off.


Topul este, incontestabil, a reference for enthusiasts of business ethics and CSR. Take a look:)

Where Should I Keep A Deed Of Variation



A few days I think importance of generosity, a slightly pompous word can, but very comprehensive social responsibility. Because when you're rich then you are responsible, is evidence of active involvement.
I start from individual, interpersonal relations, and not what's new which consisted of: when you are generous to others, generosity and appreciation in return. Get the confidence and consideration. It is a behavioral pattern that some companies have it, is part of their reason for being, is their mission, and some try to mimic it.
Some days ago I attended the conference held at the British Embassy initiative on corporate social responsibility during the economic downturn. The presentations of speakers, welcomed the speech began with the British Ambassador to Romania, Robin Barnett (http://ukinromania.fco.gov.uk/ro/doing-business/csr-ro) had jointly idea that those who are not may need help to help themselves. Presentation by Patrick O'Meara (Business in the Comunity) illustrated the importance of corporate contributions in the development of schools and institutions locally, Adrian Drafts intervention (Habitat for Humanity) has shown how vulnerable people can receive help to mobilize them, giving them a second chance in life may by building a home safety. And now back to an old question. It's more than welcome the involvement of corporations and NGOs in social dilemmas, but should be limited? Rephrase: how generous the state should be involved at this level? It's no surprise that place high value on corporate support of adding the government says that even a substitution of state powers by the actions of corporations. Someone said that the architecture of a period can make you understand the things present. For instance, now, national corporate headquarters mutinaĊ£ionale are most frequent and impressive architecture, hence their importance in establishing a social pace.
conference included an entirely new topic, the donation of a British company (Silverdell) used to renovate the Municipal Hospital of Craiova. A very nice initiative that brings to an uncomfortable question: why can not yet speak of Romanian companies to do so, to contribute to the welfare of local, national. It is, I think, a matter of generosity.
British Embassy initiative is worthy of appreciation and show a new variant of social responsibility, active involvement in sustainable development of our embassies in countries that are represented. A question of generosity ...

Stakeholder Forum The July revolution of sustainability

stakeholder theory seems to be strongly correlated with a company's sustainability strategy, regardless of size or her profile. This is because stakeholders
are interested parties, the parties affected by the activities of a corporation, but, moreover, is one of the wheels that keep vertcalitatea are a pillar of support. Browse-uind various materials on stakeholder theory, I came across a forum of stakeholders, an interesting basic material that I invite you to watch. Enjoy!
