“…From Kendall's (1999) standpoint, good corporate governance involves ensuring that companies are run in a socially responsible way and that there should be a lucidly ethical basis to the business complying with the accepted norms of the society in which it is operating. Ethical CSR actively seeks a greater balance or compatibility between profit and ethics (Reidenbach and Robin, 1991), which is consistent with corporate governance mechanism (Ghosh et al, 2011).…”

Purpose -This inquiry into companies listed on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE) in Vietnam seeks to discern whether such constructs as corporate social responsibility (CSR) and ethics act as antecedents for corporate governance.Design/methodology/approach -Three hundred and seventeen responses returned from self-administered structured questionnaires relayed to 1,173 middle level managers were analyzed via ANOVAs and structural equation modeling (SEM).Findings -From the results an interplay emerged between the ethics of justice and legal CSR/economic CSR. The ethics of care, on the other hand, tend to cultivate ethical CSR, which in turn positively influences corporate governance.Originality/value -From the results of the research, insight into the linkage pattern of corporate governance and its antecedents highlights the magnitude of the ethics training program as well as CSR initiatives in reinforcing corporate governance in listed companies in Vietnam.

“…Esto resulta de singular importancia por cuanto, el proceso de investigación reflejó que dentro de los principales beneficios de incorporar el tema de la ética en la Administración de Negocios se en-cuentran el compromiso de los profesionales por llevar a cabo el trabajo que asumen, asociado a obtener un mejor desempeño laboral. Este hallazgo resulta coherente con el planteamiento de que la ética es rentable (Cortina, 2003;Gosh, Gosh, & Abdel, 2011;Sánchez de León, 2011). Estudios como el realizado por Ethispher Institute afirman que "existe una alta correlación entre ética y mayor rentabilidad media…las mejores empresas en el terreno ético tienen un retorno hasta un 35% mayor que las de otros índices de referencia (Sánchez de León, 2011, párr.2).…”

En este artículo se presenta la percepción que tienen los docentes de la Escuela de Administración de Negocios (EAN) de la Universidad de Costa Rica, acerca de la ética y la docencia universitaria. Para ello, mediante un diseño mixto de enfoque dominante cualitativo, sustentado en un paradigma sociocrítico, se realizan indagaciones más dinámicas y se apoyan con mayor solidez los resultados científicos, para generar autorreflexión y propiciar la transformación educativa. En tal sentido, se aplicó una encuesta autoadministrada a 147 académicos, complementada con llamadas telefónicas y entrevistas cara a cara. Los resultados destacan el alto grado de importancia que le otorgan los docentes a la ética en la formación profesional, así como las estrategias y valores que deben caracterizar al profesional en Negocios. Las conclusiones reafirman la necesidad del fortalecimiento de la actuación ética en el desempeño profesional de los estudiantes. Asimismo, se destaca que estos profesionales con principios éticos desarrollan competencias blandas (trabajo en equipo, comunicación, liderazgo) y establecen mejores relaciones humanas y organizacionales.

“…According to basic (classical and neoclassical) economic theory, households aim to maximize the utility at the household level, whilst corporations aim to maximize profit at the corporate level and governments aim to maximize social welfare at the regulatory level. However, such simplification of human motivations omits important motivational factors such as social interest, cooperation, altruism, and welfare of employees (Beaudreau 2012;Ghosh et al 2011;Lux 2003). Although the complexity of motivational factors was well known in classical economic theory (Lynne 2006), the complexity (and realism) of economic notions and models were decreased during formalization of economic theory (Beaudreau 2012).…”

Household metabolism is a concept that is concerned with the analysis of stocks and flows of energy, matter, and information at the household scale. This paper starts by providing a brief overview of the concept of household metabolism. Rather than attempting an in-depth review and analysis of this field, the article subsequently maps the contributions and perspectives of a broad variety of research traditions that have an interface with the concept of household metabolism. Next, this paper highlights a number of controversial issues connected to household metabolism, and studies at the interface of household metabolism. Finally, this paper argues that the concept of household metabolism can provide valuable help in diagnosing misalignments between enacted system dynamics and expressed societal goals, and can help to design research that facilitates their alignment.
