Abstract
Companies must be sensitive to their environment; to the hunger of their employees for fair pay and self-respect; and to the demands of those who shape the legal and regulatory frameworks within which they operate for openness (or “transparency,” as current usage has it), decency, social and environmental responsibility, and for “good” corporate governance. Whether or not their leaders believe these demands are reasonable or sensible, companies ignore them at their peril.
