Resisting Corporate Corruption: Lessons in Practical Ethics from the Enron Wreckage (Conflicts and Trends in Business Ethics) ReviewThis admirable "case study" of the internal decay and ultimate collapse of Enron is an excellent text for a Business School course in management and a valuable supplement for a Law School course in legal ethics in corporate settings.
The author, Stephen Arbogast, is Executive Professor of Finance at the University of Houston's Bauer College of Business. For many years he was a financial officer and then Treasurer of ExxomMobil. He lays out the series of 17 specific decisions within Enron, over more than a decade, that gradually compromised and eventually destroyed the company's internal controls. That in turn required falsification of its public financial reporting, which combined with internal corruption to destroy the company.
Professor Arbogast's basic points are that:
*Internal managerial and financial integrity, "corporate ethics," is not "do good" ethical window-dressing but is essential for business success.
*Ambitious managers at all levels are under continual incentives to deviate and evade controls, requiring pro-active counter-strategies that "trust and verify."
*Managerial integrity must be continuously demonstrated by top management and monitored through controls sustained at all levels.
Professor Arbogast brings to bear long practice experience, technical accounting expertise, a sharp mind, and a clear writing style. His exposition is straightforward and his messages plain. The Enron debacle is illustrative of similar management catastrophes in production and financial organizations, now all too familiar. The author shows how the Enron collapse was not sudden and that it would not have been surprising to competent management.
