Quote from Fluevog Book
“If you’re not conscious of sustainability and social issues, you shouldn’t be in design. It’s that simple. Well, of course it’s not really all that simple. It’s a lot easier to make things that pollute the planet and exploit workers than it is to make ethical and sustainable ones. It’s a lot easier to make money that way too. But it’s never been what Fluevog Shoes has been about.” (p. 139)

The sincerity edge : How ethical leaders build dynamic businesses by
Recognizing their role as "corporate citizens," companies are seeking guidance on how to be true to their missions, principled in practice, and well regarded for their contributions to society. As this book reveals, the key lies in sincerity--the sum of values like authenticity, integrity, and trust. Countess Alexandra Christina, a European corporate director, and Timothy L. Fort, a leading American scholar, delineate a clear and actionable model for bringing sincerity to the business context. Their vision for sincerity complies with law, aligns corporate social and financial performance, and values corporate ethics in its own right, rather than as a means to an end. Underpinning this model is a synthesis of the top research in the field and a suite of new interviews with current and former CEOs. Tracing inspirational tales and scandals alike, this book shows how leaders can head up companies that more reliably make good decisions and conduct themselves in a trustworthy manner. It then concludes with twelve concrete actions that businesses can take to cultivate "the sincerity edge."

Ethics of Chinese and Australian Business Managers by
The study is a cross-cultural examination of Chinese and Australian business managers that chiefly concerns their beliefs, attitudes, perceptions and values about business ethics, with a special focus on bribery. The findings show that the sweeping negative stereotyping of China's business ethical practice as being corrupt, often proposed in the Australian and Western media, is unsubstantiated. The findings also indicate that many of the moral values of guanxi, face saving, trust, loyalty building, and family respect, especially for elders, have survived from Confucian times, and continue to resonate in the over 50s age group. There is also evidence that the same kind of ethical rationale that propelled Western business practice and institutions, such as the Golden Rule, when linked to the Confucian principle -- the 'Silver Rule' -- 'Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself', remain in China.
