By 2008, AGRA had assembled a strong leadership team and had funded numerous small projects ranging from seed development to education. However, it needed to secure additional funding from public and private donors, gain the cooperation of governments, and catalyze private markets to achieve its goals.    China’s Evolving Labor Laws (A)   Add   View  12 pp.  Case Author(s): Paine, Lynn Sharp; Sesia, Aldo , Jr. Publication Date: 01/29/2008 Revision Date: 03/06/2009 Product Type: Case (Library) Publisher: Harvard Business School HBS Number: 308092 Geographic Setting: China Event Year Start: 2006 Subjects: Contracts; Labor relations; Public relations; Emerging markets; International business; Labor unions; Business & government Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Supplementary Materials: Supplement, (308093), 11p, by Lynn Sharp Paine, Aldo Sesia Product Description: The (A) case describes key provisions of the new labor contract law proposed by China's National People's Congress in 2006.

It was one of the first companies to provide paid vacations, health insurance, sick leave, job sharing, and domestic partner benefits. Its human resources portfolio included a full array of progressive policies and programs. There was increasing flexibility in how people were employed, including alumni. But in its quest to become a globally integrated enterprise, IBM needed to continue to develop new ways of working. The company's response to the Asian Tsunami showed it at its best-values-driven, self-organizing, able to move at lightning speed connecting global and local resources. This was the kind of global leadership and citizenship the fifth Integration and Values Team (IVT5) was charged with enhancing. But how could IBM provide a tsunami-relief-like experience to everyone, without a disaster?    10b5-1 Plans: Mortgaging a Defense against Insider Trading   Add   View  27 pp.  Case Author(s): Larcker, David F.; Tayan, Brian Publication Date: 11/09/2007 Product Type: Case (Field) Publisher: Stanford University HBS Number: CG10 Industry Setting: Arts, entertainment & sports Subjects: Board of directors; Corporate governance; Executive compensation; Financial management; Insider trading; Mortgages; Stock options Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: In 2006, David Zucker, chief executive officer of Midway Games, came under fire for selling a significant amount of Midway stock just weeks before a precipitous decline in the company's share price. One year later, Angelo Mozilo, chairman and chief executive officer of Countrywide Financial, also increased the pace of his stock sales in the months before troubles in the U.S. mortgage lending market led to a similar drop off in Countrywide's share price. Both executives placed their trades through prearranged programs known as 10b5-1 plans. 10b5-1 plans, named after the Securities and Exchange Commission rule which led to their creation, provided a systematic method for corporate executives who were routinely in the possession of material nonpublic information to engage in the sale of company stock. When implemented appropriately, 10b5-1 plans provided a safe haven that shielded these individuals from liability under insider trading laws by demonstrating that certain safeguard conditions were in place at the time the trades were executed. However, the circumstances under which both executives carried out their programs led to an outcry from shareholders that the programs were being abused. Regulators and shareholders were left to decide whether the two men executed their 10b5-1 plans in good faith as required or whether their actions amounted to a sophisticated form of illegal insider trading.    2006 Program-Related Investments Conference Summary   Add   View  26 pp.  Case Author(s): Arrillaga, Laura K.; Spitzer, Joshua Publication Date: 03/30/2006 Product Type: Case (Field) Publisher: Stanford University HBS Number: SI85 Industry Setting: Nonprofit Subjects: Charities; Community development; Economic development; Financial management; Nonprofits; Philanthropy; Social enterprise; Social responsibility Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: In January 2006, the PRI Makers Network and Stanford Graduate School of Business's Center for Social Innovation sponsored the first annual Program-Related Investments (PRI) Conference in Palo Alto, California.

Publication Date: 10/01/2009 Product Type: Case Publisher: MIT Sloan Management Review HBS Number: SMR328 Subjects: Corporate strategy; Sustainability Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: MIT Sloan Management Review's first annual Business of Sustainability survey revealed much about what executives are thinking and doing about sustainability-driven concerns right now -as well as what's impeding their attempts both to capture opportunities and defend against threats. The most widely credited leading thinkers at the sustainability and management intersection, though, wanted to explore something else: the ways that many fundamental management and strategy practices will be transformed by the pressures that sustainability issues are already bringing to bear. This article identifies eight significant ways that current management expectations and practices will be affected by growing societal and economic understanding about sustainability. Among them: how labor productivity can be dramatically increased by sustainably designed workplaces; how companies “bump into” sustainability-related choices, even when they don't look for them; how a company's sustainability profile will become a proxy for the organization's overall management quality; how innovation results are improved by pursuit of sustainability-related outcomes; how sustainability efforts within an organization lead to more productive collaboration across typical organizational silos; and how transparency and trustworthiness will become increasingly consequential to competitive success.    A Fall Before Rising: The Story of Jai Jaikumar (A) and (B), Teaching Note   Add     10 pp.  Teaching Note Author(s): Bowen, H.

Kasturi Rangan, Alnoor Ebrahim Product Description: Acumen Fund is a global venture capital firm with a dual purpose: it looks for a return on its investments, and it also seeks entrepreneurial solutions to global poverty. This case examines Acumen's new projects in Kenya. The organization's investment committee and its chief investment officer, Brian Trelstad, must decide whether or not to fund two for-profit ventures. The first provides clean and accessible shower and toilet facilities in urban areas, serving a critical need for low-income populations — its financial sustainability, however, is less clear. The second investment is a network of successful private health clinics that primarily serve middle-income populations but which have the potential to reach low-income markets. On what basis should Acumen decide whether or not to invest? What performance metrics should it use? As the investment committee nears a decision, political and social unrest breaks out in Kenya following a highly contested presidential election. Acumen Fund must now also consider the political risks of investing.    Acumen Fund: Measurement in Venture Philanthropy (B)   Add   View  13 pp.  Case Author(s): Rangan, V.

The catheter had proved to be extremely successful in both animal and preliminary human clinical trials in Mexico. Adiana planned to request approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an investigational device exemption (IDE) to begin full-scale human testing of the device. Before proceeding, however, Goeld had to make several decisions about how the company would treat the women who enrolled in the clinical trials. He needed to decide what would constitute adequate consent for the sterilization study and what responsibility the company would assume in cases where the device failed to prevent pregnancy.    Advanced Energy: Programs for Energy Conservation   Add   View  21 pp.  Case Author(s): Rangan, V.

Naturally, this put AE at conflict with electric utilities wanting to engage in efficiency programs as part of their overall business offering.    AES Global Values   Add   View  21 pp.  Case Author(s): Paine, Lynn Sharp Publication Date: 05/18/1999 Revision Date: 11/16/2000 Product Type: Case (Field) Product Description: Members of the development team for the AES Corp.'s power plant project in India must decide what plant technology to specify in their application for techno-economic clearance from the government of India's Central Electric Authority.

Gregory; Harper, Everett Publication Date: 10/25/2000 Product Type: Case (Field) Publisher: Stanford University Product Description: In February 1999, the Amy Biehl Foundation Trust (ABFT) was preparing to expand its operations outside Cape Town, South Africa. However, their plans were challenged by a strike at the Community Bakery, a mission-driven, revenue-generating enterprise connected to ABFT, and financial irregularities at one of their newest programs, the Parent Teacher Pupil Program. Both incidents threatened to undermine Peter and Linda Biehl's philosophy of identifying and supporting leaders from the South African communities in which ABFT operated.

It is composed of four documents: two company cases, a country note, and an industry note. The company cases describe the competitive dynamics between two international telecom companies, Orange and MTN, in the Cameroonian telecom market. Each company case begins with a brief history of the company, followed by a description of the company's global strategy and of its entry into Cameroon. It goes on to describe the competitive dynamics in Cameroon from the company's perspective, and, particularly, the moves and counter-moves undertaken by each competitor to gain market share. Finally, the case describes the company's Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, globally and in Cameroon. The case series also includes two background notes. The first note describes the evolution and the basic technical characteristics of the cell phone industry. The second note provides an introduction to the geography, history, and economy of Cameroon, with a particular focus on the socio-economic conditions of the country's population. Taken together, this case series allows a discussion of competition at the Base of the Pyramid, including both business and ethical aspects.

Her roommate makes her promise to keep this information confidential because the news is not to be disclosed to the market for several days. The protaganist knows, however, that Universal's capital finance group is collaborating with her own investment bank on a leveraged buyout deal and that Universal's withdrawal could have potentially disastrous ramifications for the deal if her own investment bank is not notified immediately. She must decide whether to break her promise to her friend or to remain silent and expose her own company to great risk. Teaching Purpose: To give students a chance to think about ethical dilemmas they are likely to face in the business world. In particular, this case poses the questions: To what extent can we separate our private lives from our business responsibilities? How does one reconcile personal loyalty with company loyalty when the two are in conflict?

Some of these projects took place in developing countries and in rainforests and other endangered ecosystems. In 2000, the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) launched its Global Finance Campaign with Citigroup as the target. The goal was to convince Citigroup, and eventually all lenders, to stop financing destructive activities in endangered ecosystems. The campaign began in early April 2000 when RAN wrote to Citigroup, urging it to address its role in financing the destruction of the world's remaining old growth forests and the acceleration of climate change. Shortly thereafter, at Citigroup's annual meeting, RAN campaigners questioned the board of directors and CEO Sandy Weill in front of an audience of shareholders. Citigroup agreed to meet with RAN immediately following the annual meeting. For the next two years, Citigroup and RAN held regular meetings, while RAN continued its protest activities. Mike Brune, executive director of RAN, believed that Citigroup was stalling--the meetings were discussions, not negotiations.

According to the firm's best estimates, 21% of Anglo American's workforce was HIV-positive in 2001. Specifically, Dr. Brink was debating the merits of adding a potentially costly antiretroviral component to the existing HIV/AIDS program. Looks at the economic impact of HIV/AIDS on the Anglo workforce; examines the strategic, cost/benefit, and corporate social responsibility issues involved in offering the antiretroviral drug program to workers; contrasts Anglo's programs with its key competitors; and considers the financial, implementation, and political challenges involved in launching the antiretroviral program. Teaching Purpose: To examine issues of strategy, risk mitigation, and corporate social responsibility while working in an emerging market country such as South Africa. To profile an innovative social program for workers and consider its costs and benefits. To examine both the nonmarket and market issues posed by high HIV/AIDS rates in a company's labor force.

Each company considered itself strongly committed to philanthropy, making significant charitable donations, and fostering a variety of active community outreach programs. Yet, executives at the three firms recognized the potentially larger impact that a joint effort could have on the greater public good. Overcoming a multitude of barriers to such intercompany cooperation, the firms decided to create Network for Good, a charity portal that individuals and nonprofit agencies in the e-philanthropy space could use to facilitate donations, volunteering, and citizen advocacy.

Eric Rey, Arcadia's CEO, faced a strategic inflection point in early September, 2008. The company had a plan to share carbon credits allocated by the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism Executive Board to China, for use of Arcadia's rice varieties, since they enabled farmers to reduce nitrogen fertilizer use, in turn lowering greenhouse gas emissions. But the company's proprietary traits for nitrogen use efficiency, salt tolerance, and water use efficiency also had more conventional paths to market based on licensing deals to large seed companies. Alternatively, Arcadia could acquire a seed company and develop and market its seed directly. A different near-term growth area involved commercializing enriched safflower oil which had undergone several proof of concept tests and for which Rey foresaw a clear market in nutritional supplements and functional foods.

The young artists, working in six different studios, make and sell the art they produce. AFH was started in 1990 by local artist Susan Rodgerson and six middle school students in a Boston garage studio; in 1993 they were able to expand and move to two floors of a wharf-area warehouse. At the time of the case, Rodgerson, the executive director, is weighing issues of expansion, staff turnover, and a capital campaign to raise money to secure a building (the warehouse lease runs out in 2001). The case showcases the challenges that face many small nonprofit organizations, and outlines some of the particular characteristics that describe nonprofit organizations that also have an entrepreneurial arm. Teaching Purpose: Understanding social entrepreneurial model of nonprofit development.

The company developed and operated several boutique resorts and spas around Asia. What set the company apart in the marketplace, and was an integral part of the Banyan Tree brand, was its strong commitment to protecting the environment, both physical and human, driven by its leaders' passionate belief in behaving ethically and responsibly. The company had major plans for expansion in Asia and around the world. These expansion plans required financing, and one obvious option was to take the company public through an IPO. But KP had his doubts about an IPO. Would investors feel as passionately as he did about the company's pro-environment values and initiatives? Or would he and his managers have to compromise their values to deliver acceptable returns to the company's shareholders? In the current economic climate in Asia and globally, was it the right time to go public?

It concluded that even when credit factors were taken into account, black and Hispanic applicants experienced higher rejection rates. Richard Pollard, chairman of BayBank Boston, had to decide how to respond. Over the past three years he had led efforts in BayBank and the Massachusetts Bankers Association to address community concerns raised by earlier, less conclusive studies. Some innovative programs had been established through the association. The new study raised questions about whether existing programs would be adequate to address the problem. Teaching Purpose: Presents students with the challenge of responding constructively to social criticism. They must evaluate the charges and recommend a course of action that reflects ethical considerations, political realities, BayBank's business strategy, and the role of the industry association.

They had founded the Beginning with Children Foundation (BWCF) in 1989 as a public foundation to support the school. Alternative public schools did not exist when the Reichs were planning the educational and business model for their school. This case provides the background for the challenges the foundation faced in its first eight years and then opens for discussion what the new strategic direction might be for the foundation after charter legislation passed in 1998 and the Reichs decided to convert the school to an independent charter. The foundation considered: 1) becoming an advocacy organization for charter schools and public school reform, 2) creating new charter schools by replicating the model, 3) converting to a national policy think tank to analyze accumulated data and publish studies, 4) becoming an educational consulting firm to provide strategic management and policy services to “client” schools, and 5) applying their educational model to turn around troubled schools.

The case documents the implementation of a turnaround plan for financially ailing Braniff International. This includes a new marketing and operations strategy, concessions from labor, changes in management, and a financial restructuring. The narrative describes the worsening financial condition of the company and the choices made by the CEO and CFO to raise cash and avoid filing. These choices and events led to progressively limited options. It was decided that attempting to reorganize under Chapter XI of the Bankruptcy Reform Act was preferable to being placed into involuntary bankruptcy under Chapter VII. This required keeping preparations secret and eventually filing by surprise.

Rather than continuing to integrate the work into the existing organization, Bain created the Bridge Group, a nonprofit consulting entity that could draw upon the resources of Bain, maintain an independent practice and identity, and raise philanthropic capital. The CEO, Jeffrey Bradach, has taken a leave of absence from his position as professor at Harvard Business School to get the organization up and running. Success during the first year of operations has been beyond expectation, but the organization is facing a series of complex challenges if it is to achieve its ultimate goal of high impact to the nonprofit sector.

Frequently, these transactions appear to be above or beyond the market. Orphaned children are never "sold" -- they're "matched" with their "forever families." Eggs are "donated," and surrogate mothers offer their services to help the infertile. Certainly, the rhetoric that surrounds these transactions has little to do with markets or profits. Quite possibly, the people who undertake them want only to help. But neither the rhetoric nor the motive can change the underlying activity. When parents buy eggs or sperm, contract with surrogates, or choose a child to adopt or an embryo to implant, they are doing business. Examines the workings of the baby trade, exploring a realm where technology currently runs far faster than rules. Teaching Purpose: To expose students to the commercial, political, and ethical implications of the baby trade.

Such mergers create significant opportunities for creating both business value and substantially expanded social value, but they also pose unusually difficult challenges because the merging entities are often strikingly different in philosophy and operating styles as well as in scale. This article examines three examples — Ben and Jerry's acquisition by Unilever, Stonyfield Farm by Groupe Danone, and Tom's of Maine by Colgate — to ascertain what is distinctive about the merger process and to analyze the elements critical to success. The article offers suggestions on how other companies considering similar arrangements might best manage the process of courtship, developing agreements, and executing effectively within the newly merged entities.

Two arguments drive the article, namely that NASCAR (1) may not be able to stop cheating particularly within the current context, and (2) might not want or be motivated to stop cheating. Obstacles complicating NASCAR's efforts to stop cheating include the long-standing culture of unethical behavior within stock car racing, and the inconsistent imposition of punishments by NASCAR which drivers and race teams perceive as favoritism and unfair treatment. Yellow flags that raise caution include pressure from unwavering fans, and the friction between innovation and maintaining parity among teams. Proposed solutions include changing the culture within the NASCAR community, as well as developing ethical role models, both of which require major action by NASCAR's top managers to signal the importance of ethical behavior. Other key stakeholders such as sponsors and fans must create incentives and rewards for ethical behavior, and consider reducing or ending support for drivers and teams that engage in unethical conduct. Our analysis and recommendations have broad applications because NASCAR is an archetype of a large organization attempting to reduce cheating and unethical behavior.    Cherkizovsky Group (A)   Add   View  24 pp.  Case Paine, Lynn Sharp; Hogan, Harold F., Jr. Describes the transformation of a formerly state-owned meat processing plant in Russia into a privately-owned and operated food processing conglomerate under Russia's economic reforms of the 1990s.

Gregory; Elias, Jaan City Year, a national, nonprofit, youth-service corps, decided to diversify its funding base by seeking opportunities to gain "earned income." In 1995, the initiative, dubbed "City Year Enterprise," had already launched its first project, a collaboration with the Timberland Co. to produce a line of clothing. The case provides a detailed description of City Year's core service operation, its past development efforts and the process through which Timberland and City Year managed their partnership. Based on its experience, City Year (and students) must grapple with how to manage the continuing relationship with Timberland, evaluate other potential sources of earned income, and structure the earned income initiative.

Gregory Dees, Brian Vannoni Product Description: In May 2000, Hudi Podolsky assumed the position of executive director of the Coalition of Essential Schools (CES) and needed to act quickly. CES was an early educational reform organization dedicated to widespread implementation of certain fundamental educational principles in primary and secondary schools in the United States. The main problem was that traditional sources of funding (primarily foundations) were increasingly less willing to support CES. Podolsky needed to determine a new and sustainable fundraising strategy and had asked Stanford's Alumni Consulting Team (ACT) to help do it. This case is narrated from ACT's perspective, which allows deeper questioning of organizational issues and capabilities as well as Podolsky's ability to turn CES around. There are significant challenges around organizational structure, value proposition, marketing, and operating procedures as well as fundraising. Teaching Purpose: To present a compelling example of the concepts, practices, and challenges of social entrepreneurship. To identify a new fundraising strategy that would be better suited to the environment in which CES found itself (students may be asked to develop alternative marketing and operating tactics   Add     5 pp.  Teaching Note For use with SI02 HBS Number: SI02T Subjects: Education; Entrepreneurial management; Nonprofit marketing; Nonprofit organizations; Organizational management; Organizational structure    Community Wealth Ventures, Inc.   Add   View  22 pp.  Case Austin, James E.; Pearson, Meredith D.

When the executives become suspicious of the prices FirstAmerica is quoting, Linda asks the protoganist to send them an intentionally misleading fax so that the deal will not be held up. Holding the personal belief that “before a blind man you shall not put a stumpling block,” he does not know if he can bring himself to send the information.

Issues with three customers are described. All were a significant portion of the EMS firm's overall business. In one, a customer misled the EMS firm about its order receipts, leading to the EMS firm acquiring a substantial excess inventory that the customer was contractually required to pay for. The customer threatened to withdraw its future business if forced to make the payment. A second customer, facing a profit shortfall, demanded a payment for a “warranty problem.” The EMS firm faced difficulties with a third customer related to a small R&D firm that it purchased at the customer's request, in order to serve the customer's engineering needs.    Control Data Corporation and the Urban Crisis   Add   View  33 pp.  Case Author(s): Nicholas, Tom; Singleton, Laura G.

For BHP Billiton, the world's second largest mining company, its Tintaya copper mine in Peru has long been a source of intense conflict. The mine — which was owned and managed first by the Peruvian state, and later by BHP Billiton — stands on land expropriated from local subsistence farmers. In 2000, to contest this loss of land, mining-related environmental degradation, and allegations of human rights abuses, a coalition of five indigenous communities forged an alliance with a group of domestic and international NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) to build their case against BHP Billiton and pursue it directly with the company's Australian headquarters. The outcome of these efforts was the inception of a unique corporate-community negotiation process known as the Tintaya Dialogue Table. In December 2004, after three years of negotiation, BHP Billiton and the five communities signed an agreement compensating families for lost land and livelihoods, and establishing a local environmental monitoring team and community development fund. However, just as the company resolves one conflict, another group of local stakeholders e    Corruption in Germany   Add   View  25 pp.  Case Author(s): Abdelal, Rawi; Di Tella, Rafael; Schlefer, Jonathan Publication Date: 07/30/2008 Product Type: Case (Library) HBS Number: 709006 Geographic Setting: Germany Industry Setting: Automotive industry; Chemicals Number of Employees: 3 large firms Event Year Start: 1990 Event Year End: 2008 Subjects: Conflicts of interest; Corruption; Crisis management; Cross cultural relations; Engineering; Ethics; Global business; Managers Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: Why do managers become corrupt? Does corruption ever pay? When do friendly relations cross into bribery? How can CEOs manage and prevent outbreaks of corruption? These and other questions are raised by three short case studies of corruption in Germany: at the global engineering firm Siemens, the automaker VW, and the chemical giant BASF. While German law not only permitted overseas bribery but even made it tax deductible until 1999, it was not welcomed in some nations where Siemens did business such as the United States — or in Germany after 2000 — but old practices continued. Cooperative management-labor relations, often seen as key to the post-World War II German industrial powerhouse, went sour at VW, as a top manager secured key concessions by paying for union leaders' lavish foreign travel and visits to prostitutes. After vitamin prices sagged in the late 1980s, BASF and the Swiss chemical firm Hoffmann-La Roche plotted a global cartel that lasted a decade and raised the prices of many vitamins 50 percent or more. In the end, even after record criminal fines and jail time for some executives, some observers argued, such practices were likely to recur.    Credit Where Credit is Due: The Latino Community Credit Union   Add   View  12 pp.  Case Author(s): Fairchild, Gregory; Smith, Robert N.; Zienta, Ellen Publication Date: 12/31/2008 Product Type: Case (Field) HBS Number: UV1044 Geographic Setting: United States Industry Setting: Banking industry; Credit card; Credit industry; Insurance industry Subjects: Diversity; Finance; Target markets Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: Five years after its launch, the Latino Community Credit Union had made remarkable progress, garnering 40,000 members and $22 million in assets.

Also looks at rewards and punishments and their influence on behavior. Susan is a student employee at a campus snack bar who is caught between a wish to do what she thinks is right -- take steps to stop food being taken off the premises that hasn't been paid for -- and fear of negative consequences if she takes such action. She would also like to see students work harder, finish what is assigned to them on the night shift, and be punished for stealing from the cash register. Almost all students have faced peer pressure to do things that violate their value systems. Helps students to understand why they feel so much ambivalence, sometimes going along and sometimes drawing a line beyond which they will not go. Some issues are ethical, others involve criminal behavior. Issues include sexual permissiveness and experimentation, drug use and dealing, cheating, trespassing, and stealing. Also raises questions of a company's ethics and responsibility for creating, or allowing, a climate that tolerates at best and encourages at worst illegal, criminal, or unethical behavior. Teaching Purpose: To provide an opportunity to explore ethics and its definition.

The equities analysts of Merrill Lynch and other Wall Street firms were charged with objectively advising retail investors whether to buy or sell publicly traded stock. The analysts had rated some stock a strong buy, while at the same time disparaging it in Internet emails as “a piece of junk” or a “powder keg.” Spitzer concluded that the analysts sometimes issued such buy ratings on stock of companies because of a conflict of interest: the Wall Street firms the analysts worked for were making handsome fees for underwriting the companies' stock offerings and providing other services. The usual procedure when an enforcement agency such as the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) discovered such a situation would be to complete its investigation and negotiate a resolution privately with the financial firm. If it could not resolve the matter, the agency would formally file suit against the firm in court. This option was open to Spitzer, but the 1921 New York statue gave him an alternative. Even before filing suit in court — and while continuing to investigate the firm further — he could broadcast his findings to warn the public and brand the firm with wrongdoing. This case investigates the decision Spitzer made, and its long-    Enron Collapse   Add   View  26 pp.  Case Author(s): Hamilton, Stewart; Francis, Inna Publication Date: 05/03/2003 Product Type: Case (Pub Mat) Publisher: IMD -- International Institute for Management Development Product Description: Charts the collapse of Enron and examines the role of various parties, including senior management, the board, and the auditors.

Austin, Ezequiel Reficco Product Description: In just a few years the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) made impressive progress toward its mission of promoting “environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world's forests.” By 2001, 25.5 million hectares of forests in 66 countries had been certified as meeting FSC's standards for sustainable forestry. With members in 59 countries, the FSC had managed to bring forestry's mainstream close to its viewpoint, with 80% of the industry recognizing the need for third-party certification. However, by mid-2002, the formula that had brought success to the organization as a small start-up was proving inadequate to sustain the healthy growth of a global, mature, multistakeholder organization. Its management and staff were finding themselves lacking critical skills to take the organization to the next level. Some of its governing structures were paralyzing it. Serious imbalances between supply and demand of certified wood were threatening to break the organization. Moreover, competing certification schemes backed by powerful business groups were moving swiftly to capitalize on those imbalances and displace FSC as the global standard of choice for certification. Finally, the organization also suffered from a chronic financial weakness. In t    Forging the New Salomon   Add   View  34 pp.  Case Paine, Lynn Sharp; Santoro, Michael A.

There is, however, still an upward trend in white-collar crime, which can negatively affect everything from investor confidence, to stockholder embarrassment, to the degree to which the public views the firm's social responsibility and reputation. We find that formal shaming sanctions are slowly being added to the traditional punishment options of fines and incarceration for convicted white-collar offenders. Sentencing judges, courts, legislatures, convicted criminals, and the public have little understanding of the deterrence impact, if any, of shaming sanctions. This article attempts to clarify what shaming sanctions are, why white-collar personnel should become more familiar with the array of shaming punishments being utilized, and how shaming sanctions are being used to deal with white-collar offenders.    From Little Things Big Things Grow: The Clontarf Foundation Program for Aboriginal Boys   Add   View  31 pp.  Case Author(s): McFarlan, F.

Publication Date: 08/20/2008 Product Type: Case (Field) Publisher: Stanford University HBS Number: P58 Geographic Setting: United States Industry Setting: Automotive industry Subjects: Energy; Manufacturing; Power & influence; Strategy; Sustainability Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: Reacting to the 1973-4 Arab oil embargo, Congress enacted a Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) system in 1975 that required an increase in automobile fuel economy from 14.2 miles per gallon in 1974 to 27.5 mpg in 1984. Since that time, Congress had made no changes to CAFE, with efforts in 1990 and 2002 both failing. By 2007, however, circumstances had changed significantly enough that Congress was poised to enact a 40 percent increase in required fuel efficiency. Although the automobile industry had initially opposed any major increase, the seemingly inevitable increase convinced to industry to instead focus on details of the pending legislation and how to influence those details. This case explores the response of the auto industry to the pending fuel efficiency increases, setting up an evaluation of the industry's strategy to help craft the legislation.    Funai Consulting Co. Ltd. (A)   Add   View  25 pp.  Case Paine, Lynn Sharp; Nakamura, Tomoya In the summer of 1997, a consultant at Japan's Funai Consulting Co. Ltd., must decide how to respond to a client's proposal to offer "open pricing" (based on willingness to pay) to customers unable to pay the standard price for the client's product. The client, Akita Komachi Farmer's Association, markets rice and rice products to consumers and is facing increasing international competition with the opening of Japan's rice market. The case presents Funai Consulting's unusual business philosophy, which was developed by its founder and 1997 Chairman Yukio Funai. Mixing "new science" with both Japanese and Western concepts, Funai's approach is based on the goal of mutual prosperity rather than dominance in competition. Teaching purpose: To develop decision-making skills; and to develop understanding of a management and business philosophy rooted in Japanese culture.

Raja, president and CEO of GE Healthcare India, when the company's ultrasound machines were implicated in many cases of prenatal sex determination. Even in the 21st century, Indian society favored males and many in India saw females as a burden on their families. Studies had shown that fewer and fewer girls were being born, with potentially catastrophic results for future Indian society. The reason: Many women were relying on ultrasound machines to determine the gender of their fetus and, if it were a girl, having abortions. Raja knew that GE Healthcare and ultrasound machines were providing much better medical care for Indians, particularly those in rural communities, and that the company was following all the rules and regulations to prevent this type of abuse. But he also understood the social issues that were involved. Ultrasound machine sales had enormous potential to help maintain GE's market-leading position in India. But should the company step back from its aggressive sales strategy? How could Raja and the company alleviate the growing discontent among critics and the media against the practice of prenatal sex determination testing using GE's ultrasound machines? What additional efforts did GE need to make to prove its intentions of promoting prenatal care? What other efforts should the company make to stop the illicit prenatal gender determination and resulting abortions?

The groundbreaking technology behind NeuroCell-PD (developed by Diacrin, Inc.) used fetal pig cell neural transplants to treat Parkinson's disease. GTR was eager to get NeuroCell-PD to market as quickly as possible but knew that the path to obtaining FDA approval would be difficult. Genzyme, an innovative biotechnology company, had often entered uncharted territories in the past and had set precedents in medical research. Controversy would likely center on whether GTR would use what some were calling ``sham'' surgery as a placebo control in its Phase II trials of NeuroCell-PD in Parkinson's patients -- trials intended to demonstrate both the efficacy and safety of the procedure. In sham surgery, a segment of patients in a study undergo the same aspects of the surgery experience as those receiving the experimental treatment, except that it does not involve fetal pig cells. Details the process for testing NeuroCell-PD and discusses the issues concerning sham surgery. Asks students to make a recommendation on whether to conduct sham surgery.

Publication Date: 04/02/2004 Product Type: Case (Field) Publisher: Stanford University HBS Number: BME10 Geographic Setting: United States Industry Setting: Biotechnology & pharmaceutical industries Subjects: Biomedical engineering; Biotechnology; Ethics; Government & business; Government policy; Research Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: In the spring of 1999, scientists, biotechnology companies, ethicists, religious leaders, patient advocates, abortion opponents, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and members of Congress were all engaged in a protracted debate about human embryo research. Geron Corporation, a publicly traded biotechnology company in Menlo Park, California, was at the center of this debate. Geron had been financing research at three U.S. universities to isolate human embryonic stem (hES) cells — the primordial, or master, cells from which all human tissues evolve. Executives knew that this research was likely to stir up public debate on the ethics of the science; senior managers suggested forming a board that could provide an external evaluation of the ethics of the research methods and goals. In 1998, Thomas Okarma, PhD and MD, vice president of research and development, had set up the Geron Ethics Advisory Board (EAB). Details the controversy surrounding Geron's hES cell research and the role that the EAB played in shaping Geron's response and actions. Okarma evaluates the EAB's efficacy in the hES controversy to determine if any changes are needed to the mandate, structure, and scope of the EAB, especially considering the highly controversial nature of Geron's future research. A recent acquisition had given Geron the in-house capacity to clone tissues and animals.

In October 2001, Gilead Sciences received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the commercial sale of Viread, a significant new drug for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Viread proved to be an immediate success, increasing rapidly in sales and market share in the United States within its first year on the market. As Gilead made plans to take the drug global in early 2003, a high priority was to make the drug readily available to millions of people in the least developed nations, where the HIV virus was having its most devastating effects. Pricing and distribution were key considerations. Gilead did not have a distribution system in place in any of these countries, and the price charged in the United States would be prohibitive in the developing world.

In April 2003, Gilead announced the Gilead Access Program to make the company's new drug Viread available, at no profit to Gilead, to developing countries. Viread represented a significant advancement in antiretroviral medicines for the treatment of HIV/AIDS with once-a-day dosage, greater effectiveness, and a much improved side-effect profile. Gilead executives expected the Access Program to have an immediate, positive impact on the treatment of HIV/AIDS patients in the world's poorest countries. A year after implementation, however, the Access Program had not led to widespread use of Viread in Africa. Having learned from early missteps, Gilead had to make significant changes to improve the program. It also wanted to expand the Access Program to create greater access to therapies in middle-income regions.

However, the strategies which environmental organizations choose to employ are sometimes starkly different. Compares the models of two dissimilar environmental powerhouses: Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF). Active in 100 countries, WWF works with governments, businesses, other NGOs, and communities to set up conservation programs to preserve natural habitat. In contrast, Greenpeace works to campaign for environmental change against governments and corporations and accepts funding only through individuals and foundation grants. Explores the detailed history and business models of both organizations.

The group's contention was that Halliburton used fraudulent accounting practices to boost revenues and hide a deteriorating financial position from investors. Specifically, the lawsuit centered around the way the company recognized claims recoveries on long-term construction projects. Prior to 1998, the company's policy was to book cost overrun expenses as soon as they occurred, but not to book claims recoveries as revenue until the repayment amount was agreed to with the client. In 1998, the company changed policies to begin estimating future recoveries and recognizing them in the same period that overrun expenses were realized. The company, which had been suffering from a recent slowdown in business and large litigation losses from asbestos lawsuits, claimed that its accounting practices were permitted under generally accepted accounting principals (GAAP). Judicial Watch, however, claimed the accounting policy inflated revenues over the four-year period by as much as $534 million. This case focuses on the accounting issues and disclosure policy of the company during the 1998 to 2001 period. Readers of the case are asked to assess whether the company's policies and decisions were appropriate in the relevant areas of accounting and disclosure.    Haliburton Company: Accounting for Cost Overruns and Recoveries, Teaching Note   Add     6 pp.  Teaching Note Author(s): McNichols, Maureen; Tayan, Brian Publication Date: 05/18/2007 Product Type: Teaching Note Publisher: Stanford University HBS Number: A187TN Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: An abstract is not available for this product.
