This paper is directed towards providing an Argentine perspective on the role of ethics in the business world. Although in the past several countries have investigated the institutionalization of ethics within corporate life, a concrete study into that field has never been properly undertaken in Argentina. However, a bird’s eye view of the ethics policies currently enforced in companies operating in Argentina creates an adequate context for understanding the ethics phenomenon as it has emerged in that country. To that effect, the major companies conducting business activities in Argentina were questioned on various subjects, ranging from company size to motivation behind providing an ethical background from which to do business, in order to allow a comprehensive analysis on company life in Argentina, as related to ethics. The survey conducted presented evidence that a wide sector of the Argentine business world believe ethics to be a factor of ever-growing importance, which would explain the relatively recent measures taken to instill ethical standards of conduct within corporations.

While women have long been key to archaeological research, the role of women and women’s voices have grown substantially in the last 50 years. Once predominantly found in the laboratory rather than in the field, women archaeologists are driving the discipline forward through field work and analysis. Similar developments are taking place throughout higher education in both academics and in leadership. At the same time, work on the engendered past is also evolving. However, more needs to be done. Issues in the field, particularly injustices done toward women associated with fieldwork, are coming to the forefront, hopefully assuring a future with higher ethical standards. The personal stories of female archaeologists help provide context to the past as well as opportunities for the future of archaeology.

In this chapter the authors analyze the Moncler case using concepts link to the family business world. In the luxury industry family businesses are existing entities with a strong DNA created by a founder leader and guided by his vision across generations; the strong link between the founder's DNA, the company and the customers implies a high level of influence on how resources are managed and, consequently, it changes dynamics and results. In the rapid changing luxury industry's business environment it is necessary for the companies to maintain the DNA's heritage. To succeed it is necessary to innovate and to remain linked to the root of the past through innovation and evolution. Moncler perfectly shows how - from the successful vision of the founder to a deep crisis - is possible to reach a second life (with a new re-founder) appealing to the original values and DNA of the company.

The Past

The following article concerns the functional use of horse bones in the early Middle Ages (mainly in the period from the mid of the 10th to the 12th/13th century). The authors try to explain how such remains were used and how common it was. It is also discussed whether the special role of the horse in medieval societies somehow restricted its post-mortem usage, or perhaps there was no difference between the skeletal remains of horses and other species in this regard. For this purpose, statistical calculations on the use of the bones of various mammals were made. Only the remains of the species determined during the archaeozoological analysis were taken into account. The specific use of individual parts of a horse skeleton was also noted. In addition, the analysis also encompasses all other types of horse remains that could be used by humans (hide, hair, etc.). The consumption of horse meat was discussed separately: on the basis of the preserved traces, an attempt was made to determine whether it had happened, and if so, how popular it had been. Overall, such comprehensive analysis aims to show the various roles of the horse. It was not only a mount, but also a beast of burden, a source of food and raw material as well. The main purpose of this study is to describe the role of horses in human medieval societies of Ostrów Tumski on the basis of accessible equid remains. The highlighting of the human–horse relationship in the past allows us to understand the importance and value of the horse both as a life companion and the source of food or leather and bone tools.

Unethical Practices

<p>In the past leadership roles at workplaces looked only into bringing profits to organizations, compete with each other and create a brand image come what may. The emergence of incorporating moral and ethical codes developed when both employees and leaders of organizations big and small got involved into unethical practices which lead to tremendous loss in business and involved legal cases. Not only the reputation of such companies got tarnished but gradually they started losing their authenticity in the business world. Surprisingly, moral codes and ethical standards always existed in the organizations’ policies but their relevance was recognised only in the twenty first century when business organizations began to merge and expand worldwide because of globalization and the system changed forever. Organizations today simply cannot compromise with unethical practices and values. Today, organizations believe that good leadership is not merely competing, bringing profits and creating image but also transforming workplaces and bringing changes in the lives of people through ethics. Studies reveal that the integration of ethics within leadership roles can bring significant benefits at workplaces.  Morally upright leaders foster good business, encourage excellent task performance, make powerful decisions and nurture corporate vision. This paper studies the relevance of blending leadership with ethics with a purpose to fetch substantial impact at workplaces. <strong></strong></p>

The Many

The role of electron microscopy and associated techniques is assured in diagnostic pathology. At the present time, most of the progress has been made on tissues examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and correlated with light microscopy (LM) and by cytochemistry using both plastic and paraffin-embedded materials. As mentioned elsewhere in this symposium, this has revolutionized many fields of pathology including diagnostic, anatomic and clinical pathology. It began with the kidney; however, it has now been extended to most other organ systems and to tumor diagnosis in general. The results of the past few years tend to indicate the future directions and needs of this expanding field. Now, in addition to routine EM, pathologists have access to the many newly developed methods and instruments mentioned below which should aid considerably not only in diagnostic pathology but in investigative pathology as well.

The Relationship

The rise of e-commerce has brought considerable changes to the relationship between firms and consumers, especially within international business. Hence, understanding the use of such means for entering foreign markets has become critical for companies. However, the research on this issue is new and so it is important to evaluate what has been studied in the past. In this study, we conduct a systematic review of e-commerce and internationalisation studies to explicate how firms use e-commerce to enter new markets and to export. The studies are classified by theories and methods used in the literature. Moreover, we draw upon the internationalisation decision process (antecedents-modalities-consequences) to propose an integrative framework for understanding the role of e-commerce in internationalisation

Financial crime in Nigeria – including money laundering – is ravaging Nigeria's economic growth. In the past few years, the Nigerian government has made efforts to tackle money laundering by enacting laws and setting up several agencies to enforce the laws. However, there are substantial loopholes in the regulatory and enforcement regimes. This article seeks to unravel the involvement of the churches as key drivers in money laundering crimes in Nigeria. It concludes that the permissive secrecy which enables churches to conceal the names of their financiers and donors breeds criminality on an unimaginable scale.
