To Russia with love

Article Abstract:

Don Hanson witnessed the steady growth of Arthur Andersen around the world while working for the company. He spent five years as managing partner in the UK and seven years as global managing partner, partner affairs and communications. During his tenure, he worked side by side with CEO Larry Weinbach, with whom he orchestrated the division of the company into separate consulting (Andersen Consulting) and accounting units (Arthur Andersen). The duo stayed with Arthur Andersen. Together, they were able to transform its culture into one that values consensus building and democratic management. He has now retired at the age of 62 although he still takes on consulting jobs and non-executive directorships and plans to travel Russia.

Who cares what people think?

Article Abstract:

Although the collapse of Arthur Anderson led people in the business world to realize the importance of reputation, companies fail to understand that it is closely associated with the culture of keeping their secrets that no longer exists, as information is easily available to the public. The Merck and KPMG cases in the U.S. depict this fact where they were found guilty owing to their faulty understanding about secrecy of inside information.
