Abstract
This paper analyzes and compares two types of leadership - the "Wheel" and the "Web". The author sees that the twentieth century was marked by a series of economical, social and political changes that resulted in the restructuring and transformation of a number of traditional beliefs and customary views. This process, he believes, changed the fundamental framework of leadership, transforming it from the "wheel" that supported the Industrial Age to the "web" that forms the heart of the Age of Information. The "wheel" type of leadership is recognized by the fundamental traits of command, control and power and is commonly associated with the male leadership characteristics of individuality and autonomy. On the other hand, the leadership known as the "web", incorporates the basic traits of collaboration, communication and participation and is recognized by the characteristics of organization and cooperation that have come to be commonly associated with modern female leadership . This paper describes the face of modern female leadership as well as famous female leaders.

From the Paper
""Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them...they make things happen" ~ Robert Jarvick, inventor of the artificial heart (Leadership). The characteristic mark of leadership and the traits of those who have excelled at it can be traced throughout the pages of world history and down through the centuries of the development of human civilization. Up until the twentieth century, these traits and characteristics showed some modification but little basic and fundamental change. The twentieth century, however, was marked by a series of economical, social and political changes that resulted in the restructuring and transformation of a number of traditional beliefs and customary views. This restructuring process included basic changes in the fundamental framework of leadership, transforming it from the "wheel" that supported the Industrial Age to the "web" that forms the heart of the Age of Information (Guido-DiBrito et al, 1996, pp. 28-29)."

Abstract
This paper examines how leadership plays a vital role in corporate communication and accountability. It also explores how a culture based on values is able to communicate across the organizational structure effectively and that the failure of communication can lead to criminal behaviour and the downfall of the company, using the HealthSouth Corporation as an example.
Content:
Introduction
Communication and Leadership
Conclusion
From the Paper
"For a future at HealthSouth, strong leadership based on values will remain key. This type of leadership involved a certain level of emotional intelligence where feelings of powerful do not become overwhelming. Of course if leadership and responsibility are equally shared, then power will be as well. The key to effective leadership does not come from charisma but from integrity and sharing information. Hughes (2004) writes an effective leader will have impact upon their team and this is "apparent in the growing interest over the past decade in topics like the leader's genuineness, authenticity, credibility and trustworthiness" (p. 3). A leader's reflection of these attributes is found in their level of connectedness with employees. As a result leaders are more interested in mentoring and training their team rather than focusing on output of numbers or turn around time. These qualities are a good indicator for selecting a potential manager. This development in team building allows for "providing people opportunities to learn from their work rather than taking them away from their work to learn" (Hughes 4). "

Abstract
The American workforce is increasingly reflecting the changing American demographic. "Minorities" like women and people of color are occupying more management and leadership positions in the business world and corporate America. Their presence has begun to trigger changes in how companies are managed and in the broader areas of corporate culture.
However, in many ways, women in business continue to face unique problems because of their gender. This paper discusses how these difficulties continue to form barriers for women in the business world. The effects of gender stereotypes and expectations can be seen in virtually all aspects of employment - from hiring practices to wages, from chances for advancement to retirement benefits. This paper examines how factors like unequal pay and a male-dominated corporate culture help to ensure that the American corporate world remains largely an enclave of men.
Paper Outline:
Unfair Hiring and Advancement Practices
Gender Wage Gap
Male Corporate Culture
Sexual Harassment
Retirement
Conclusion
Works Cited
From the Paper
"In a study designed to examine double standards in the hiring process due to gender, researchers found that women faced a double set of expectations. First, they had to be able to perform competently and exhibit typical masculine qualities such as "assertiveness." However, particularly when vying for high-status jobs, women are also expected to demonstrate "feminine" traits like empathy and tact. The women who did not have these so-called "feminine" traits were considered less suitable for employment. However, male applicants were not judged based on the presence or absence of these "feminine" traits (SooHoo)."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Leaders achieve effectiveness through a variety of different means. For some, intimidation is an effective method for achieving their goals; other leaders communicate their vision to their subordinates and leave the subordinates to find the best way to achieve that vision. For the purposes of this research, leadership is defined broadly, and includes influencing task objectives and strategies, influencing commitment and compliance in task behavior in order to achieve these objectives, influencing group maintenance and identification, and influencing the culture of an organization. Vision is defined as the overriding goals both of the entire organization, and of the various subgroups within that organization. A company's vision is not static, but rather changes, over time, as the environment in which the company ..."

Abstract
The paper explains that corporate value is an objective assessment of how well the company is managed. The paper analyzes the creation, managing, measuring and occurrence of corporate value in the current competitive business environment.

Measuring Corporate Valuation
Creating Corporate Value
Managing Corporate Value
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In recent years, competition among corporations involved in all sectors of business industries has dramatically increased, bolstering the significance placed on "corporate value." With increased competition and greater awareness among investors, new and innovative ways of measuring corporate performance are being developed (Girotra, 2001). These corporations have recognized the need for customer-driven quality, which can only be implemented through a strong, adaptable, and effective form of management. As a result, corporations must be committed to create, manage, and measure corporate value as a determination of the business' financial success or failure."

From the Paper
"Where did the corporate income tax begin? How does it affect our economy? What is the future of the corporate income tax? Will deleting corporate income tax be the answer for the economy? What about cutting part of this tax? How does the corporate income tax help the economy? These are questions that will be answered in this paper as well as how the corporate tax is affecting our economy now.
The Beginning of Corporate Income Tax
"How the corporate tax began is an example of why tax systems can be worse than they should be and how little influence the economic profession has on government policy (Norton 2). Sometimes ideals look great when they are not that sound. Corporate taxes were used during wartime until 1909, when Congress enacted a 1 percent tax on corporation income. The rate increased until 1932 to 12.5 percent when the rate was changed to the progressive rates. Norton stated, ?Surtaxes on corporate income were added for ?excess profits? during both world wars. The highest peacetime rate, 52.8 percent, was reached in the sixties? (2). "

Public Relations and Corporate Social Responsibility, 2005.
A look at the link between public relations and corporate social responsibility in the business world.

Abstract
Public relations is generally regarded as a bad thing by consumers, whose cynicism has been aroused by recent events involving major U.S. corporations and cultural 'institutions' such as Martha Stewart. However, within the last generation, consumers said they were willing to refuse to purchase products or services from any corporations not perceived to be a corporate good citizen. The question for public relations and for corporations globally is whether it is possible to make corporate actions match the good reputations their public relations departments attempt to create. In short, can the current disconnect between perceptions of corporate behavior and the corporations' misbehavior with concurrent avowals of rectitude be aligned? There are cases in which citizen action has brought those elements into alignment. In other cases-notably Thailand-the government has short-circuited the profit intentions of a major corporation to provide for the citizens. However, in far too many cases, the governments look the other way while corporations extolling their own virtues nonetheless participate in human rights-questionable activities. This study identifies the nature of some of the disparities between corporate public relations and corporate socially responsible-or irresponsible-behavior and suggest scenarios that might bring both into alignment.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"How duplicitous are large corporations, and how gullible are consumers? These are questions public relations practitioners probably do not ask themselves very often, or perhaps ever. Yet, there are two violently divergent trends in corporate conduct, which suggest these as questions public relations practitioners-or at least, ethicists involved with corporate public relations, ought to ask. While those are open-ended questions more appropriate to an ethicist than to those planning public relations campaigns, there are two trends that public relations practitioners need to examine; the combination of those trends present precisely the sorts of corporate malfeasance and misfeasance that has captured the attention of both the public and governmental oversight organizations.
The first trend is for corporations to support worthy causes, partially for the increased goodwill it brings, and often sales as well. At first glance, it sends no warning signals. In fact, in 1994, "a nationwide survey...confirmed that a company's social performance significantly influences prospective customers, employees and investors in basic decisions about the firm" (Gildea, 1994, p. 20+) Of course, that was then and this is now. In the past decade, Enron happened, and MCI/WorldCom, and "Martha" and any number of other smaller scandals involving companies that, if not known for their good works, at least were not known for bad ones until the misdeeds came to light. Like all other companies of any size, these companies had established public relations departments to make public note of gifts to charity and the like. Bread and butter to any corporate public relations department is their corporate philanthropy, often carried out while the company is busy in other areas wreaking untold havoc. A case in point is Enron."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer discusses the theories raised that in the article 'Corporate reputation management: "CRM" with a strategic twist?'. The writer points out that CRM is necessary because corporate leadership and market success is no longer dependent on dynamics such as price or temporary product or technology superiority. The writer also shows that according to the article, a company needs CRM to meet its strategic and financial objectives, because a company's reputation is increasingly affecting its ability to sell products and services, to attract investors, to attract employees, and to influence government. The writer concludes that companies that seek better profits are now realizing that they are tied to what they can do for the welfare of its customers and the members of society. Further, the writer points out that a tighter linkage between the organizational, customer and society functions of public relations will achieve a new business vision for profit maximization called CRM.
From the Paper
"As the article explains, it's important to understand how its reputation compares against both industry competitors and best of the class companies because CRM is an important source of competitive advantage. Research tools such as a reputation management index referred to as Delahaye/RMI is recommended to measure the reputation of a company based on responses from various stakeholders. Results can help organizations assess their strengths and weaknesses and to then develop appropriate strategies to improve corporate reputation.
This is a great article because it recognizes that obsession with the bottom line can be lethal for a company unless it also pays attention to other areas such as ethics, transparency and the welfare of the customer and society. For example, a company that promotes a product that it knows is bad for society (think cigarettes) will eventually pay a high price for doing so."

Abstract
The purpose of this essay is to examine the level of involvement needed by directors, management and major shareholders in establishing and continuously encouraging effective corporate governance practices. Further, the role for legislation and regulation in supplementing and strengthening such practices is also discussed. The paper makes reference to corporate disasters experienced by corporations such as Enron, HIH Insurance, WorldCom, AMP, Harris Scarfe and One.Tel, which have all drawn great attention to the issue of corporate governance and how corporations are controlled, managed and regulated.
From the Paper
"Corporate failures, such as WorldCom and the HIH collapse, have deprived millions of company employees and shareholders of their lifetime savings and retirement benefits (Shang, 2003). Some have argued for greater legislation (Dallas & Bradley, 2002), while others have pointed out that corporate governance is not just about legal and regulatory compliance but rather it is about building a culture based on sound business practices, ethics (Julien & Rieger, 2003), and creating a climate of trust and honesty."

From the Paper
"Corporate governance, or the way a company is managed, can make or break that company as well as affect lenders, stockholders, and the market as a whole. Corporate governance is best defined as the means by which stockholders ensure that officers and directors will act in the best interest of the corporation instead of in their own best interest. Corporations set up a board of directors and appoint officers to run the company, although the true owners of the company are the stockholders whose money is at stake. It is the officers which play a substantial role in determining whether or not stockholders get a return on their investment. Stockholders entrust the officers to do what is right for the company as well as keep them informed of the financial state of the company through proper reporting. Although the corporation has significant control over the reporting process, there are strict rules which it is required to follow. Sometimes, however, accounting principles are violated by corporate officers in order to increase their own compensation in the form of bonuses".

Abstract
This paper discusses corporate manslaughter law in the United Kingdom. It looks at the causes of corporate manslaughter, such as gross negligence or failure of management to introduce and maintain basic safety standards. The paper discusses the previous laws and their regular failure to protect the worker. It then looks at the Corporate Manslaughter and Homicide Act of 2007 and the harsher penalties that it dictates.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Previous Laws
Controlling Mind
Corporate Manslaughter & Homicide Act 2007
Duty of Care
Harsher Penalties
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The new legislation serves to highlight and re-enforce the importance of addressing health and safety issues at a high level. Directors and other "senior management" should take the opportunity to review the management of, and responsibilities for, health and safety in their own organizations and ensure they have appropriate and effective health and safety processes. The good news is that the explanatory notes to the Bill state: "There is no question of liability where the management of an activity includes reasonable safeguards and a death nonetheless occurs". With the provisions of the Act not due to come into force until April of next year, there is time yet for organizations to address any shortcomings in their governance structure, policies and systems. It must be recognized, however, that company-wide attitudes and accepted practices may take more time to change."
