BATG as Ethical Case Study
Posted by Usha Rodrigues
Our second Business Ethics Seminar meeting focused on my favorite business read: Barbarians at the Gate, by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar. It reads like a novel, and it's the best way I've found to introduce students to deals. This class was the first time I'd read it from an ethical perspective, and I was curious as to what I'd find.
Wow. Captive boards. Corporate jets. Leaks to the press. Advisors with their own agendas. Backroom deals. LBOs: good or bad? Greed, greed, greed.
We're only halfway through the book, and we've got quite a surprise planned for the next class...
