Harvard Business Review; Apr2007, Vol. 85 Issue 4, p100-108, 9p, 3 Illustrations

Article Brief "The author presents his personal experiences serving at General Electric Company as chief legal officer for nearly 20 years in a discussion of corporate ethics. Examples include a GE manager in an emerging nation who was fired for failing to conduct required diligence on dubious third-party distributors. Also cited are two executives who were fired from GE for permitting a culture of ethical indifference to exist in their respective business units, even though neither did anything personallyunethical. The author cites GE's response to the Enron, WorldCom, and Parmalat scandals, and the emergence of the "aiding and abetting" theory that was leading to huge liabilities. The author provides a set of tools that companies should adopt in order to create a climate of high ethical standards. INSET: The Business Case in Brief." (Heineman, 2007).
