Summary

Workplace Honor Code explores the evolution of workplace ethics, from informal agreements to complex compliance policies, examining the impact on ethical conduct. The formalization of ethics, intended for transparency, has potentially diluted individual moral responsibility. The book argues for a shift from mere compliance to valuing ethical character. 

 
The book traces the development of workplace ethics across three sections. It begins by defining "ethics as a craft," shaped by mentorship and reputation. It then examines the rise of formal ethics policies, including corporate codes of conduct and legislation. Finally, it explores the consequences of formalization, such as "box-checking" ethics, and suggests strategies for revitalizing individual ethical responsibility, making it valuable for HR professionals.

 
Drawing insights from business history, legal case studies, and surveys, the book highlights the transition from handshake deals to formalized ethics policies, revealing how businesses define and enforce ethical standards. It uniquely views ethics as a skill to be cultivated, not just a set of rules, encouraging a more engaged approach to ethical decision-making and ethical leadership.

    What You Need to Know About IT, 
In One Concise Package 
 
Demystifying IT has been hailed as the one book about information technology that leaders of midsized companies should read. Given the importance of IT in today’s world, it might also be the most timely and valuable business book of any kind to be published recently. 
 
The co-authors are masters of leveraging IT for creating sustainable competitive advantages for businesses. They’ve been at it for decades, solving problems that defied other experts, and leading digitization projects which have boosted client companies into new realms of growth and profit. Their core messages in a nutshell are these: Executives on the “business side” of a firm do not have to understand the complex details of information technology. What’s crucial is to grasp the powerful business leverage that digital tech, in its various forms, can provide. 
 
Demystifying IT offers a simple diagnostic chart for gauging where your company stands in this race. Then it delivers a roadmap for moving up the scale, step by step. The case stories are about midsized companies the authors have worked with, in industries from retail banking to smart manufacturing. These vividly told stories illustrate the many kinds of opportunities that modern IT can present — along with basic principles and best practices for getting the most bang per buck invested in IT. 
 
Last but far from least, Demystifying IT lays out a series of practical steps toward solving a fundamental problem: how to get the business and IT sides of a company working in harmony. Technology is a human creation. Harnessing its powers for business requires human collaboration. This book’s authors are two humans who can help you find a promising path into the future.

    The rural roads that led to our planet-changing global economy ran through the American South. That region's impact on the interconnected histories of business and ecological change is narrated here by acclaimed scholar Bart Elmore, who uses the histories of five southern firms—Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Walmart, FedEx, and Bank of America—to investigate the environmental impact of our have-it-now, fly-by-night, buy-on-credit economy. Elmore explores the historical, economic, and ecological conditions that gave rise to these five trailblazing corporations. He then considers what each has become: an essential presence in the daily workings of the global economy and an unmistakable contributor to the reshaping of the world's ecosystems. Even as businesses invest in sustainability initiatives and respond to new calls for corporate responsibility, Elmore shows the limits of their efforts to "green" their operations and offers insights on how governments and activists can push corporations to do better. 
 
 
 
Our lives are built around businesses that connect far-flung rural places to urban centers and global destinations. This "country capitalism" that proved successful in the US South has made it possible to satisfy our demands at the click of a button, but each click comes with hidden environmental costs.
