21st Century Marketing
How marketing has changed forever...and what to do about it For 10 years leading up to the new millennium, the US economy rolled merrily along. Confidence was high and business was strong. But starting in the spring of 2001, the economy has resembled Disney World’s Space Mountain ride—off-balance, in the dark, without any idea when the ride will end. The dot-com bomb, corporate scandals like Enron, and ongoing conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq have reshaped our economy into one based on uncertainty.

The Business of Ethics and The Ethics of Business
In 2002 the corporate world in the United States was rocked with scandals. Enron, Arthur Anderson, WorldCom, Citi Group, HCA, Tyco and others were headline news in print and the lead story on the television news because of business ethics failures. This caused me to reemphasize and stress to each of my clients then and now, the importance of business ethics and to challenge each of my clients to integrate their core values into their policies, practices and decision making. And I recommend that they rededicate themselves to conducting business to the highest ethical standards.

So, you may ask how would a business go about establishing and emphasizing a set of core values and ethical standards? Based upon my personal and professional experiences and research, I would recommend making the following nine commitments:

Who's Your VP of Reputation?
Reputation is the new profit center for the 21st century. Think about it. In an age of corporate scandals, suspicious customers, and budgets with very little breathing room, there is simply no substitute for being a reputable company. But no matter how many times you say you're an honest, trustworthy, customer-centered company, the proof is in the proverbial pudding.

Bad News Doesn't Improve with Age
Got bad news to deliver? Start talking! It’s almost impossible for a leader to over-communicate during such difficult times as impending layoffs, leadership shakeups, news-breaking scandals, and mergers and acquisitions.

This article aims at dealing with the applicability of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in the foreign investment scenario in Asia. I will further concentrate on the nature of compliances that a corporate ought to observe, be it under FCPA or under the domestic laws of a particular country, and the reason and wisdom to do so. All around the world, in every country, the goal of business is not to serve the public; it is to make money. When that drive for profit produces corrupt behaviour and erupts in major scandals, it can have a demoralizing effect. The early twenty first century scandals in America over revelation of business fraud followed by indictments and punishment included corporations such as WorldCom, Qwest, Tyco, Adelphia Communications, ImClone and Global Crossing.

The events involving Enron and Worldcom brought to light the plight of employees caught in an unpleasant and potentially career-damaging situation not of their own making.
