R. Edward Freeman şi Barak Obama in 2008’s 100 Most Influential in Business Ethics

Ethisphere, "The World’s Most Recognized Name in Business Ethics and Anti-Corruption", a realizat, pe finalul de 2008 topul a 100 cei mai influenţi oameni în etica de afaceri. Cei 100 fac parte din 9 categorii: Government and Regulatory, Business Leadership, Non-Government Organisation, Design and Sustainability, Media and Whistleblowers, Thought Leadership, Corporate Culture, Investment and Research şi Legal and Governance.
Ceea ce mi-a atras atenţia citind lista a fost motivul includerii respectivelor persoane în topul celor 100. Barak Obama, spre exemplu, pe locul 14..a făcut promisiuni, iar R. E. Freeman, autorul teoriei stakeholderilor ăn Universitatea din virginia, a scris...cam mult.

14. Barack Obama - U.S. President Elect

Category: Government and Regulatory
Did What? He made promises

Obama has made ethics a cornerstone of his administration, which in turn has already caused 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, o referinta pentru pasionatii de etica in afaceri si csr. Take a look :)
