Great article from the Harvard Business Review. Is the “Maximizing Shareholder Value” model going to be replaced by something less short-sighted?
Great website with lots of information about “Why Carly Fiorina Should NOT be Elected to the United States Senate”. The fact that this woman can run for public office bothers me on so many levels. We need to stop this woman from being “elected” from this or any other public office!
If you’ve been wondering what you can do to make a difference. Here are some ideas from Michael Moore.
Another insightful article by Damian Saunders. Here are just a couple of points from the article.
“It goes beyond HP, or any previous experience I had with the company, it′s actually an issue that seems endemic in corporate America today, the deliberate undermining of middle and working class standards of living and getting paid obscene amounts to do it. We could, and probably should be singling out more CEO′s for the same treatment.”
“I am a Capitalist, but I don′t believe that capitalism implies the complete absence of altruism, there′s more than enough wealth to go around. Prosperity begets prosperity, especially when it comes to employees. As a business owner I believe I have a responsibility to contribute jobs, and the ensuing prosperity that comes with them, to our society. I think what we currently know as Capitalism, where it′s only about returning ever increasing profits to shareholders at all costs, is unsustainable, wrong, and is probably called something else.”
