   5. Ethical leadership definitions
2. The sweatshop issue (Rana Plasa)
   1. Ultimately driven by the consumer, or the retailers' pandering attitude to the consumer.
   2. 'Give the customers what they want' is preposterous, and not sustainable.
   3. What about 'give the customers what they NEED?'
   4. We exploit countries that are in earlier stages of development than ourselves.
   5. How do you bring home the responsibility?
3. Ideas
   1. Ethical leadership today
      1. Does the remote nature of globalisation lessen the sense of responsibility further down the supply chain?
      2. Does the 'want' instead of 'need' culture make us more self-centred?
      3. Do we see our vendors as figures of credibility and authority? Milgram?
      4. Is the size of an organisation correlated with its ethical culture?
      5. Is the net profit margin of an organisation correlated with its ethical culture?
   2. Scale and CSR
      1. Is there a relationship between CSR and proximity to the 'ground'.
   3. CSR
      1. Even in our charitable acts, we now act in a consumerist way. Charity has now become largely corporate, creating the same type of consumer and supplier model as in mainstream business. Does this inherently mean that the same ethical problems arise?
      2. The more 'systemised' that organisations become, the less person-centred it will be.
   4. Stake holders
      1. The hierarchy of stake holders is probably of higher resolution than primary and secondary
4. The relevance of Thomas Aquinas’ moral philosophy for business management. Maciej Bazela, Ph.D.
   1. 'government regulation and self-regulating market mechanisms cannot prevent ethical wrongdoing'
   2. 'On the other hand, companies which care about ethically good management tend to enjoy higher profits, better productivity, lower employee turnover and other benefits'
   3. Money itself is a means that man has invented ‘for the convenience of exchange, and as a measure of things salable’ (ST, I-II, 2.1). Man seeks material possessions and money to procure for himself ‘the necessaries of life’.
   4. Money is an economic means, and not an end in itself. The purpose of money is to facilitate market exchange.
5. Ethics
   1. Deontological
   2. Consequentialist
   3. Virtue ethics
   4. Aquinas bridges these

   1. Carroll, 1991

   2. What is the current thinking? Does it exists at all, or is it an ideal?
   3. Stakeholders
      1. Do businesses know who their stake holders are?
