The purpose of this article is to transcend the assumption that stakeholder engagement is necessarily a responsible practice.
Stakeholder engagement is traditionally seen as corporate responsibility in action. Indeed, in some literatures there exists
an assumption that the more an organisation engages with its stakeholders, the more it is responsible. This simple ‹more is
better’ view of stakeholder engagement belies the true complexity of the relationship between engagement and corporate responsibility.
Stakeholder engagement may be understood in a variety of different ways and from a variety of different theoretical perspectives.
Stakeholder engagement may or may not involve a moral dimension and, hence, is primarily a morally neutral practice. It is
therefore argued that stakeholder engagement must be seen as separate from, but related to, corporate responsibility. A model
that reflects the multifaceted relationship between the two constructs is proposed. This model not only allows the coincidence
of stakeholder engagement with corporate responsibility, but also allows for the development of the notion of corporate irresponsibility.

This paper discusses the nature of financial business relationships by drawing on the IMP Group’s theory of industrial relationships.
It discusses, among other aspects, the interaction process between banks and their corporate clients, the longevity of relationships,
the interdependence between both sides, and the atmosphere of financial services relationships. The conclusions are thought
to be interesting and useful for the managers of firms and financial services when setting relationship marketing policies
and for academic research on business-to-business services relationships. The field research was done in Portugal and the
case method was used.

This article examines the legal protection of consumers from vendor bidding on New Zealand online auctions sites. The current
lack of legal control over online vendor bidding is contrasted with the more restrictive legal position taken in respect of
vendor bidding in traditional auctions. The article argues that online vendor bidding is misleading in nature and harmful
to consumers. It argues that the law is justified in intervening in order to prevent or discourage the practice. Suggestions
are made for a multilayered legal approach to the problem.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there are cross-cultural differences between Chinese and Canadian business
students with respect to their assessment of the ethicality of various business behaviors. Using a sample of 147 business
students, the results indicate cultural crossvergence; the Chinese (72 students) and Canadians (75 students) exhibit different
ethical attitudes toward questionable business practices at the individual level but not at the corporate level. A social
desirability bias (a tendency to deny socially unacceptable actions and to admit to socially desirable ones) is also found
to be a cross-cultural phenomenon, with the Canadians demonstrating a greater bias than the Chinese. Finally, this bias causes
respondents to increase their assessment of the un-ethicality of questionable business activities.

This article addresses the intersections, even blurrings, of two “homes” and two “aways” – the personal, ‹private’ home and
the corporate ‹public’ ‹away’, and the national home country and corporate base and the transnational work away. Drawing on
40 semi-structured interviews with women and men top and middle managers in seven multinational corporations located in Finland,
we examine the complex relations among transnational managerial work, corporate careers and personal, marriage and family-type
relations, and their differences for women and men managers. This shows the very different personal and social worlds inhabited
by senior women and men managers, and how transnational processes can make those differences even greater.

Criminal law is perhaps society’s strongest technique of formal censure. By labelling an activity as “criminal” we attach
to it a special stigma. Despite this, the United Kingdom (UK) has a long history of criminalising conduct that lacks the seriousness
we might expect that label to involve. One area where criminal sanctions have been commonly used in the UK is consumer protection.
This article argues that it is time to reconsider the role of criminal law in consumer protection and considers how alternative
regimes may better-protect the consumer from business wrongdoing.

The objective of this paper is to propose a new model of competence in presence of network effects. We will introduce some
modifications in the Lotka-Volterra model, in order to solve its deficiencies. The main improvement is to introduce a modification
of Metcalfe’s Law, what allow us to reflect the effect of congestion externalities. The model’s validation, developed by numerical
simulation, confirms that its behaviour is quite similar to that observed in real markets.

This article investigates the influence of information and communication technology (ICT) on business transformation. First,
the general, ICT-driven development lines of globalization and service-orientation are described. Then, an analysis of the
IBM Corporation’s transformation over the past 50 years into a globally integrated, service-oriented company illustrates that
ICT innovations must be dealt with by simultaneous adaptation of business model, organization and corporate culture. For many
companies the ability to manage this change becomes increasingly critical.

Download of Copyright-Protected Internet Content and the Role of (Consumer) Contract Law 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Peter Rott 《Journal of Consumer Policy》2008,31(4):441-457
The software, music, and movie industries keep suggesting to consumers that if they copy digital contents they may find themselves
in jail. Moreover, horrifying damage claims are in the air. The problem with these scenarios is, amongst others, that it is
difficult to understand for consumers where their rights end and where illegal use of content begins. This article focuses
on the contractual relationship between online content providers and consumers. It explores relevant consumer law issues and
lays open the legal uncertainties of the current regimes at the European Community (EC) and national level. The article then
looks at current ideas put forward by the Commission on how to regulate internet consumer law. It concludes that a sector-specific
i-consumer contract law should be introduced and offers proposals related to its possible content.

The prevalence of white-collar crime casts a long shadow over discussions in business ethics. One of the effects that has
been the development of a strong emphasis upon questions of moral motivation within the field. Often in business ethics, there
is no real dispute about the content of our moral obligations, the question is rather how to motivate people to respect them.
This is a question that has been studied quite extensively by criminologists as well, yet their research has had little impact
on the reflections of business ethicists. In this article, I attempt to show how a criminological perspective can help to
illuminate some traditional questions in business ethics. I begin by explaining why criminologists reject three of the most
popular folk theories of criminal motivation. I go on to discuss a more satisfactory theory, involving the so-called “techniques
of neutralization,” and its implications for business ethics.

In this paper, we explore the impact of individualism and collectivism on three basic aspects of ethical decision making –
the perception of moral problems, moral reasoning, and behavior. We argue that the inclusion of business practices within
the moral domain by the individual depends partly upon individualism and collectivism. We also propose a pluralistic approach
to post-conventional moral judgment that includes developmental paths appropriate for individualist and collectivist cultures.
Finally, we argue that the link between moral judgment and behavior is related to individualism and collectivism.

EC transport law is set to be complemented by a series of Regulations giving rights to passengers for almost every mode of
transport. These Regulations not only give transport law a distinct consumer dimension but also add new elements to European
private law. This paper attempts to provide a horizontal, or intermodal, survey of these Regulations, adopted and proposed.
It is argued that passenger law, although originating separately and remaining a sector distinct from other fields of law,
has become part of a wider, three-stranded notion of European consumer policy deserving due attention as the force most dynamically
expanding the area of Community law of contracts and of torts. The paper will point to the elements of consumer contract law
and the law on travel and tourism related to passenger transport and elaborate on the basics for finding a common notion of
the key terms like “passenger” and “damage” for Community law. It concludes with some points for further reflection.

Business students are confronted early in their academic careers with examples of questionable acts and practices related
to individual and corporate integrity. The current study identifies four segments of students with respect to their attitudes
toward unethical behavior and is one of the first known attempts to understand country corruption and its impact on students
of business. Findings from a worldwide survey of over 6,000 business students suggest that corruption does breed corruption
and that business students in more corrupt countries have a greater likelihood than their counterparts in less corrupt countries
to equate legal and ethical. It appears that business students in more corrupt countries expect to use the law as their ethical
gauge in business decisions.

This paper discusses the legal classification of online “eBay” auctions. The discussion has key implications on the scope
of consumer protection law as sale by auctions are, for example, excluded from the scope of the Consumer Protection (Distance
Selling) Regulations 2000. The paper uncovers that online “eBay” auctions cannot always be considered as traditional auctions
and that eBay, as an intermediary, is not to be considered as an auctioneer. This creates difficulties associated with a distributive
application of consumer protection laws such as the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000. Another set of
difficulties is associated with a lenient legal regime applicable to the liability of eBay under the Electronic Commerce (EC
Directive) Regulations 2002. The paper concludes that there is an urgent need to clarify the legal classification of online
auctions and to rethink the liability of online auction sites to better protect consumers.

As a criterion of a good firm, a lucrative and growing business has been said to be important. Recently, however, high profitability
and high growth potential are insufficient for the criteria, because social influences exerted by recent firms have been extremely
significant. In this paper, high social relationship is added to the list of the criteria. Empirical corporate social performance
versus corporate financial performance (CSP–CFP) relationship studies that consider social relationship are very limited in
Japan, and there are no definite conclusions for the studies in the world, because of scant data and the inappropriate methods,
especially for supporting linear hypothesis which these studies are based on. In this paper, the CSP–CFP relationship is analyzed
by an artificial neural networks model, which can deal with a non-linear relationship, using 10-year follow-up survey data.

The purpose of this article is to empirically assess the relationship existing between local financial development and the
growth of firms, with a special focus on cooperatives. Using Italian data, a multiplicative interaction model is specified,
so as to allow the impact of local banking development to differ between cooperative and non-cooperative firms. The main finding
is that although local banking development represents a determinant of firms’ growth, regardless of their legal structure,
it plays a special role in boosting the growth of cooperatives. This result provides evidence in favor to the existence of
an institutional complementarity relationship between the development of local banking institutions and cooperative firms.

This article addresses the question of whether lump-sum bonuses motivate salespeople to work harder to attain incremental
orders or whether they induce salespeople to play timing games (behaviors that increase incentive payments without providing
incremental benefits to the firm) with their order submissions. We find that lump-sum bonuses primarily motivate salespeople
to work harder—a result that is consistent with the widespread use of bonuses in practice, but that contradicts earlier empirical
work in academics.

Financial Advice Giving and Taking—Where are the Market’s Self-healing Powers and a Functioning Legal Framework When We Need Them? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
German banks tend to emphasize how satisfied their clients are with the financial advice they offer. Empirical evidence, however,
suggests that this satisfaction may have little to do with the quality of the information exchange between clients and advisors
but rather with substitute factors like the friendliness and appearance of the advisor. Applying the theoretical perspectives
of New Institutionalism and Behavioural Finance we explain in this article why the coexistence of information and interest
asymmetry between retail clients and advisors must lead to poor advice quality and why the market’s self-healing powers and
the actual regulatory framework fail in preventing that. We support our theoretical analysis with some empirical evidence
from a recent study we conducted to test the factual quality of the advice German banks give in the retail banking area. The
results obtained are very consistent with previous findings of a poor level of quality of the information exchange between
client and advisor and predominantly confirm our theoretical conclusions. We finally offer some suggestions that might pave
the way out of this dilemma.
