Description

"Daniel Terris spent two years researching materials and interviewing Lockheed Martin ethics officers and ordinary employees to develop his case study of the ethics program at the powerful global corporation. The study begins with a survey of American attitudes toward ethics in business over the past century, raising the question of whether ethics can be genuinely built into the modern mega-corporation. Terris then develops a portrait of Lockheed Martin - its history and the nature of its far-flung businesses - turning at last to its ethics program, which was created following a series of bribery, overcharging, and corruption scandals in the 1970s and 1980s."--Jacket.
