Bad apples
:02:02
We know all
about WorldCom.
:02:04
Bad apples
:02:05
Xerox Corporation.
:02:06
Bad apples
:02:07
Arthur Anderson.
:02:08
Bad apples
:02:09
Enron obviously
:02:09
bad apples.
:02:10
K-mart Corporation
:02:11
Bad apples
:02:12
the fruit cart is
getting a little more full.
:02:14
I dont think it's just a
few apples unfortunately.
:02:16
I think this is the worst
crisis of confidence
:02:18
in business.
:02:21
What's wrong
with this picture?
:02:23
Can we not pick
a better metaphor
:02:25
to describe the dominant
institution of our time?
:02:29
Through the voices of CEOs
whistle blowers
:02:32
brokers gurus and spies
:02:35
insiders and outsiders
:02:38
we present the corporation
as a paradox
:02:40
an institution which
creates great wealth
:02:42
but causes enormous
and often hidden harms.
:03:02
I see the corporation
as part of a jigsaw
:03:05
in society as a whole
:03:07
which if you remove it
:03:08
the pictures incomplete.
:03:10
But equally if it's
the only part
:03:13
it's not going to work.
:03:16
A sports team.
:03:17
Some of us are
blocking and tackling.
:03:19
Some of us
are running the ball
:03:20
some of us are
throwing the ball.
:03:22
But we all have
a common purpose
:03:24
which is to succeed
as an organization.
:03:28
A corporations
like a family unit.
:03:30
People in a corporation work
together for a common end
:03:37
Like the telephone system
:03:39
it reaches almost
everywhere.
:03:42
It's extraordinarily powerful
it's pretty hard to avoid.
:03:46
And it transforms
the lives of people
:03:48
I think on balance
:03:50
for the better.
:03:53
The eagle
:03:54
soaring clear eyed
competitive
:03:59
prepared to strike
but not a vulture.
