...do we have a morally acceptable level of privacy in this kind of society? In an IT-configured society, we should have some privacy to certain personal information and have our information gathered if and only if we give our consent. The importance of privacy, information gathering, and work are some focuses as to why privacy to certain personal information should be respected and retained if and only if given consent. When a person goes on to the internet they do not expect their information to be gathered and spread throughout the internet. Most people think that their privacy to personal information is important and that it should be respected. Shaw gave three aspects of our concern to privacy. “First, we want to control intimate or personal information about ourselves and not permit it to be freely available to everyone” (Shaw 319). If a person wants to give their home address to an online store, they are controlling who gets their information. They are also giving consent that the store know their address to ship the product. The second aspect is “Second, we wish to keep certain thought, feelings, and behavior free from the scrutiny,...

...because of one company’s selfishness and greed; a lot of other companies now have different hoops to jump and straight lines to walk, to keep the same thing from happening again. Not to say outright that the Act is a bad thing because it’s not. When companies go bankrupt that particular company is not the only thing that is affected, these companies have investors and stockholders and they too are affected. This act will allow for such companies and their employers to stay on the straight and narrow. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was enacted in 2002 following the bankruptcy of Enron, an energy trade company out of Houston, Texas. According to lawyershop.com, Enron kept the fact that they were billions of dollars in debt from its shareholders (Shaw, 2008). Enron used partnerships with other companies to get away with accounting fraud and making illegal loans. Their crooked activity was carried through by partnerships with several companies such as: RADR, Chewco, and Southampton, Enron used these companies to hide their debt from their shareholders. Enron funded RADR on the low so they would purchase electricity-generated windmills from...

...served Biocon well. Starting out in the enzyme business in 1978, the Bangalore-based firm had gradually expanded into the pharmaceutical industry. Expertise in manufacturing enzymes led to mass production of generic drugs, which in turn gave Biocon the experience to establish Syngene, a subsidiary contract research organization (CRO) serving the global pharmaceutical market. At each stage Biocon had built on both its recently developed capabilities and the political, biological, intellectual, and financial benefits of the Indian environment to move into new areas of opportunity. By early 2003, Biocon had parlayed earning and learning into a firm that boasted 800 employees and annual revenues of US$75 million. Yet the time had come to consider whether this growth model was reaching its limits. In the eyes of Biocon India Group’s Managing Director, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Biocon’s newest subsidiary, Clinigene, seemed an ideal way to capitalize on the company’s technical strengths by offering services in clinical trials. There was concern, however, that Clinigene could also be an enormous distraction, consuming precious resources in an area in which Biocon had little direct experience. Moreover, if Clinigene did prove profitable, its very success could be a Pyrrhic victory: the subsidiary could rapidly outgrow its parent and damage the company’s hitherto collaborative culture. The growth could even sidetrack Mazumdar-Shaw and Biocon’s directors into pursuing a possibly...

...Poverty and Pollution – Case Study Third world countries are those which are poorer in standard of living and underdeveloped counties of the world. Third World nations are mostly located in Africa, Asia and South America absorbing the adverse conditions of poverty and pollution, the developed nations primarily differ from the developing nations in terms of political and economic rather than geographic. These developing or underdeveloped countries often struggle with population growth, poverty, famines, malnutrition, unsafe water supplies and wars while the residents in these countries are now experiencing the consequences of air, water and land pollution. In under developed countries, governments are often overthrown by military rebellions or are led by dictators. Pollution in many third world nations is unchecked and unrestricted. These countries suffer due to the poor environmental conditions. And the government continues to neglect countless other problems in these nations. Formation and enforcement of regulations related to environmental conditions would be catastrophic for a nation which is so much buried under the condition of poverty. So these countries have very limited choices such as either have basic needs to live or have healthy environment. If the choice is given this way, what would any one choose in countries that don’t have other options to consider? People choose to have needs instead of the environment because it consists of basic human needs such as food...

...3 Sources of Moral Obligation by Josephson Institute on February 14, 2011 A duty is an obligation to act in a certain way. When the obligation is based on moral and ethical considerations, it is a moral duty. Often we think about moral duties in terms of rules that restrain us, the “don’ts,” as in don’t lie, cheat, or steal. Such rules comprise the so-called negative dimension of moral duty because they tell us what not to do. Since ethics is concerned with the way we ought to be, however, it also includes an affirmative dimension consisting of things we should do — keep promises, judge others fairly, treat people with respect, kindness and compassion. Sources of Moral Obligation Moral obligations can arise from three sources. The first, strangely enough, is law. 1. Law-Based Moral Obligations. Good citizens have a moral as well as a legal obligation to abide by laws; it is part of the assumed social contract of a civilized society. If a law is unjust, however, (such as those that mandated ethnic and religious persecution during the Nazi regime and those that discriminated against a person on the basis of race in South Africa and elsewhere) there may be a moral obligation to disobey it under the specific and demanding doctrine of civil disobedience. Many, but by no means all, of these moral standards of conduct are so fundamental to healthy social relations that they have been codified into laws. For example, most aspects of the moral duty to not endanger or harm others...

...SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS: A CROSS-COUNTRY COMPARISION Research Work International Doctorate in Entrepreneurship and Business Management Department of Business Economics & Administration Author: Elisabet Ferri elisabet.ferri@uab.cat Supervisor: David Urbano david.urbano@uab.cat September 2011 2 ABSTRACT Social entrepreneurship is a subject of growing interest for both academics and governments. However, from the quantitative approach, little is known about the environmental factors that affect this phenomenon. For this reason, the main purpose of the present study is to statistically explore the relationship between environmental factors and social entrepreneurship, as seen through a cross-country comparison and in the light of institutional economics as the conceptual framework. Linear regression analysis is used over a sample of 49 countries to study the impact of formal institutions (public spending, access to finance and governance effectiveness) and informal institutions (social needs, societal attitudes and education) on social entrepreneurial activity. The main findings suggest that, while societal attitudes increase the rates of social entrepreneurship, public spending has a negative relationship with this phenomenon. Contributions of the research are both conceptual, in terms of development in the field of social entrepreneurship from an institutional perspective, and practical, in terms of designing policies to promote social enterprise...
