...Whistleblowing: Necessary Evil or Good Thing Maureen Haley University of North Carolina – Asheville April 16, 2014 This paper was prepared for Management 484-001, taught by Professor Donald D. Lisnerski Whistleblowing: Necessary Evil or Good Thing Is whistleblowing a necessary evil or good thing? Can whistleblowing be avoided? Can the whistleblower be protected? “A whistleblower is an employee who discovers corporate misconduct and chooses to bring it to the attention of others.”(Ghillyer, 2014) Whistleblowers can be viewed as providing a praiseworthy act or be severely labeled as informers who have breached the loyalty of their co-workers and company. Whistleblowing can be a service to the community and public. Whistleblowing can be ethical or unethical, and the whistleblower discovering corporate misconduct has the options to be an internal or an external whistleblower. Whistleblowing can save people’s lives. Dr. Jeffrey Wigand made the decision to go public with information that his employer Brown & Williamson (B&W) was manipulating the nicotine content, suppressed efforts to develop safer cigarettes, and lied about the addictive properties of nicotine. According to Sissela Bok, in the book Taking Sides: Clashing views in Business Ethics and Society, “not only is loyalty violated in whistleblowing, hierarchy as well is often opposed, since the whistleblower is not only a colleague but a subordinate. Though aware of the risks inherent in such disobedience...

...CHAPTER -01 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study In a developing country like Bangladesh, the banking system as a whole has a vital role to play in the progress of economic development. The number of local commercial banks and foreign banks is increasing day by day.

...As the summer of 1999 began, Julie Robins, the chief investment officer of the Angel Foundation, was considering whether to invest in Accel Partners’latest venture capital fund – Accel Partners VII. Accel was seeking to raise $500 million. The Angel Foundation had been a limited partner (investor) in Accel’s previous three funds – Accel Partners IV, V, and VI. Those funds had generated returns well above those typical for venture capital funds. In fact, the net returns to limited partners on Accel Partners IV and V were running above 100% per year. Exhibit 1 provides a recent record of historical returns for venture capital funds by vintage year. While 100% plus returns were obviously spectacular, Julie was concerned that Accel had decided to raise the fees it would charge its limited partners. In its previous fund, Accel had charged a management fee of 2.5% and a carried interest (or profit share) of 25%. This already exceeded the industry standard of 2.5% and 20%. In Accel Partners VII, Accel proposed to raise the carried interest to 30% of profits. James W. Breyer, Accel’s managing partner, argued that: “the higher profit share would help it retain and attract new talent. We have the same investment team that has been investing the last three Accel funds, and at the same time, we have greatly strengthened the team with new additions ... ”2 At a 30% carry, Accel would join a select group of private equity firms that included Bain Capital, Kleiner, Perkins, Caulfied & Byers...

More Praise for The Secret Language of Leadership “Out of the morass of strategies leaders are given to transform organizations, Denning plucks a powerful one—storytelling— and shows how and why it works.” —Dorothy Leonard, William J. Abernathy Professor of Business, Emerita, Harvard Business School, and author, Deep Smarts: How to Cultivate and Transfer Enduring Business Wisdom “The Secret Language of Leadership shows why narrative intelligence is central to transformational leadership and how to harness its power.” —Carol Pearson, director, James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership, University of Maryland, and coauthor, The Hero and the Outlaw “The Secret Language of Leadership is not only the best analysis I have seen of how and why leaders succeed or fail, it’s highly readable, as well as downright practical. It should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in engaging a company with big ideas who understands that leaders live and die by the quality of what they say.” —Richard Stone, story analytics master, i.d.e.a.s “A primary role of leaders is to create and maintain meaning for their organizations. Denning clearly demonstrates that meaningmaking comes from stories well told.” —Thomas Davenport, President’s Distinguished Professor of I.T. and Management, Babson College, and author, The Attention Economy “Steve...
