Members of my own association, the
Arthur W. Page Society, this month
delivered the second in a series of
white papers, this one on trust. Produced
with the Business Roundtable Institute
for Corporate Ethics, it presents with
authority and the apparent endorsement
of the society's rank-and-file. It does
not represent me. It is, in fact, a
well-wrapped guilt gift to our industry.

Trust is at the core of every type of
relationship, from friendships to
marriages, so why wouldn’t it be central
to the bond between stakeholders and
businesses?
“Public trust in business is the level
and type of vulnerability that the
public is willing to assume with regard
to business relations,” says
Brian Moriarty, associate director
for communications at the Business
Roundtable Institute for Corporate
Ethics, based on the findings of the
Institute’s special report on the
dynamics of public trust in business.

Senator Justin Alfond (D-Cumberland
County) was selected to participate in
the 2009 Program for Emerging Political
Leaders, sponsored by the State
Legislative Leaders Foundation and the

The goal of this program is to inspire
the men and women selected to
participate to continue careers in
public service. Class discussions will
examine qualities and characteristics of
leadership including: ethical
leadership, the art of compromise and
coalition building and the philosophical
underpinnings of representative
democracy. The discussions will be lead
by Professor
Ed Freeman, the Elis and Signe
Olsson Professor of Business
Administration at the Darden School and
co-director of the Olsson Center for

I was reading an article in the June 22
issue of
The New Yorker
by John Seabrook that described the
Ceasefire program that aims to curb gang
violence.
The article
described a
collaboration
between the Cincinnati police department
and an anthropologist named David
Kennedy. ... In these meetings, the
gangs were given a strong moral message.
Obviously, gang members who committed
crimes stood the chance of
punishment, but there was also a
clear message that the violence was
wrong and that it damaged the community.
... One way to think about this is that
incarceration (and even capital
punishment) for crime
sets up a business model.
There is some evidence, though, that the
moral dimension can provide an
alternative motivation for action. For
example, Ann Tenbruensel and
David Messick published a study in
1999 in
Administrative
Science Quarterly
in which they had business students play
the role of a company manager who had to
decide whether a factor should pay to
have a factory's pollution scrubbers
updated to satisfy new pollution
regulations or to violate those
regulations.

The
annual meeting is the most visible
evidence that the democracy at the heart
of corporate governance (especially in
America, where shareholders struggle
even to propose motions for discussion
or candidates for the board) is a sham.
One of the great questions surrounding
corporate governance is why the big
institutional shareholders, which tend
to vote in support of management, go
along with such a sham. Why do they not
act as responsible owners and insist
that management take shareholder
democracy more seriously?
One obvious reason why institutional
shareholders do not take more care in
exercising their votes is that they are
too busy trying to beat the market in
the short term, so as to earn juicy
bonuses, even though taking their duties
as owners more seriously would lead to
companies performing better in the long
term. Public trust in business has
plunged during the current economic
crisis, as a new
report by the Arthur Page
Society and the Business Roundtable
points out. |

The pace of job
losses, pay cuts and overtime bans may
be starting to slow on both sides of the
Atlantic, but the loss of public trust
in business, the banking community and
politicians during this recession is
going to take a long, long time to come
back.
