Multiple Responsibilities of Corporate Executives Corporate executives do have a responsibility to make money for their companies. For publicly owned companies, this means that they must find a way to maximize shareholder value. But it would be wrong to say that, without qualification, making as much money as possible is an executive’s only responsibility. First of all, corporate executives have a duty to protect our natural environment and to not exploit human resources, particularly in lesser-developed countries. These poorer countries sometimes have poorly developed legal systems and laws that can be used unfairly by companies, even though the companies are actually operating within the limits of the law in that country. As an example, a pharmaceutical company should not be allowed to test new drugs on people in a poor country even though it is perfectly legal under that country’s laws. Corporate executives must take it upon themselves1 to ensure that it operates ethically in all countries and that the corporation does not exploit lax operating laws in underdeveloped parts of the world. Secondly, a related responsibility of corporate executives is to make sure that the company reflects a positive image to the rest of the world, thus giving stockholders and owners a sense of pride in being a part of that company. Most people do not want to be associated with a company that is seen as greedy or exploitive. If corporate executives focus solely on making as much money as possible, there can be a backlash against that company for appearing too materialistic and uncaring. Executives at multinational companies such as McDonald’s and Wal-Mart have recognized this problem in the past and have now become heavily involved in the communities in which their stores are located through charitable programs. A third and also related responsibility of corporate executives is to ensure the long-term viability of their companies. Employees, as well as other stakeholders, need to know that the company executives are interested in building an enduring institution. A good example of this responsibility not being honored is that of the Enron Energy Company and Arthur Andersen bankruptcy and accounting scandal. In this case, corporate executives abdicated their responsibilities to both companies in order to maximize short-term profit and possibly their own bonuses and stock options. Corporate executives do have a responsibility to make as much money as possible. But they also have the responsibility to do so in a manner that helps to protect the world’s environment and people, that reflects a positive corporate image, and that will guarantee the long-term survival of the company.
解析
文章采用的是开门见山的开头方式,直接提出作者观点——为公司多赚钱不应是公司高管的惟一职责。紧接着,作者采用了分总的行文结构,在主体部分层次分明地论述了公司高管应当承担的其他责任。逻辑信号词first of all,secondly,a third清晰地对文章做出了划分,使读者一目了然。结尾部分概括全文,同时采用了与正文不一样的表达方式,显示出作者扎实的文字功底。
