	Since graduating from business school and rising through the corporate ranks, Odland has become one of business’s most vocal CEOs.

Enron shook corporate world, led to sweeping reforms Agence France Presse (AFP), January 30 2006
	"What Enron stands for is multiple gatekeeper failure -- the board failed, the auditors failed, the outside law firm failed," said Thomas Dunfee, professor of business ethics at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. "I think we learned that just having prestigious and good quality people in key positions is not enough. We have to pay attention to the kind of legal incentives that we provide."
God and Mammon at Harvard Fast Company, January 26, 2006 By Linda Tischler, Fast Company senior writer
	Many are drawn by the opportunity to explore faith and ethics as taught by a variety of world religions.

	"The practical, real-world bankruptcy court is an especially inappropriate place for philosophical sermons," United's attorneys said in their request to block the testimony by Thomas Jones, a professor at the University of Washington Business School. The attorneys invoked Hamlet's famous admonition to his friend: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio / Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." But the Chicago judge overseeing United's bankruptcy case was unmoved: he ruled Jones may testify at a hearing scheduled to begin Wednesday on the airline's reorganization plan. Jones, who will be an expert witness for United's flight attendants, irritated the airline by criticizing the airline's plan to reward its top executives with stock after the company exits Chapter 11 proceedings.

Not a fan ; Yes, Virginia, there are people who don't care about the Rose Bowl. Austin American-Statesman, January 3, 2006 By Patrick Beach, American-Statesman Staff
	But enough frivolity -- let's see what ethicist and Nietzsche scholar Robert Solomon (Quincy Lee Centennial Professor of Business and Philosophy and Distinguished Teaching Professor in UT's Department of Philosophy) has to say. So is he a fan? "I'm not," Solomon says. Too impersonal, too militaristic, don't like the uniforms. "Soccer is a much more humane activity," he says. "It's a bunch of people running around in their shorts."
