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:)
