Whatever happened at Barings? Part one: the lure of derivatives and collapse

Article Abstract:

The collapse of Barings Bank was not anticipated by the organisation's management despite a number of obvious warnings. Some of the low-risk dealings made by Nick Leeson received disproportionately high returns. Barings Futures Singapore required an enormous amount of margin payment transfers which were eventually to overtake the company's capital value. Singapore International Monetary Exchange positions were vulnerable for some time.

Work and organisations: a profile of Charles Handy, writer and educator

Article Abstract:

The present excessive emphasis on the material performance of organisations could bring many problems, according to social philosopher Charles Handy. Organisations of many different kinds make up a vital part of society, while a sub-set of that part is made up of business organisations. He emphasises that profit-seeking should be seen not just as a way to gain wealth, and that people should always be treated as human beings.
