Is ethics a liability in turbulent competitive environments?
Article Abstract:
The books 'Hypercompetition: Managing the Dynamics of Strategic Maneuvering' by Richard D'Aveni with Robert Gunther and 'Fit, Failure, and the Hall of Fame: How Companies Succeed or Fail,' by Raymond Miles and Charles C. Snow tackle an intensely competitive business environment using two opposing points of view. Miles and Snow apply the usual organization and management-based view of business strategy while D'Aveni employs an economics-based view of business.

Ethics and leadership on Wall Street
Article Abstract:
The book 'Nightmare on Wall Street: Salomon Brothers and the Corruption of the Marketplace' by Martin Mayer describes how the 81-yr-old investment firm was catapulted into the 1991 scandal where it admitted to committing unethical practices and rule violations. The book narrates how Salomon Brothers was founded with a strong ethical basis and how John Gutfreund's leadership radically changed this tradition and ultimately resulted in the scandal.
