The paper continues and discusses the roles of leadership and management and concludes that the interaction between the concept of management and that of leadership should not obscure or neglect their intrinsic differences.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"This view would seem to imply that management and leadership are two different things. While the point that Dubin makes is valid, yet it must also be acknowledged that in today's dynamic and complex environment, management in the more traditional sense of delegation, ordering and organization may not be sufficient to deal with the many elements of modern business and organizational demands. In other words, one perspective in this debate would see the conflation and reduction of the two terms as theoretically incorrect, and that in a more practical sense these two terms coexist and that leadership has become in many instances a necessary and intrinsic component of managing."

"The evolution of leadership as well as that of the business organization itself has seen many popular methods and procedures in team leading come and go, however there are primary methods of leadership that always come back around to popular use due to their effectiveness. Just as the corporate and business environment has shifted through many phases with methods and procedural evolution there has also been evolution in leadership methods and styles. From the earlier days of the very amoral leaders there have been many corrupt dealings for Enron did most certainly not write the book on this type of business dishonesty."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the effect that corporate leadership can have on the ethical standing of a corporation. The author focuses on Dennis Kozlowski, former CEO of Tyco, and the series of unethical actions that he committed during his tenure as CEO of Tyco. The paper draws some conclusions regarding the connection between the unethical actions of a corporate leader and the ethical business environment of the corporation as a whole.
From the Paper
"Corporate greed, excess, and especially illegal activities to those effects have become center-stage in the public's scrutiny of big business. With scandals like Enron, WorldCom, and even Martha Stewart, the public seems to have an almost insatiable blood-lust to see the rich and powerful pay for their crimes. More importantly, however, is the fact that corporate greed and excess among the leaders of a corporation have a way of infiltrating the whole of the culture of a corporation and leading to unethical behavior throughout the company in the long-run. Employees, like children, often learn by example. If the CEO thinks its permissible to abuse company resources, then how long will it be before employees throughout the company hierarchy do the same?"

Abstract
This paper explains that the philosophies of Confucius stresses ethics, order, stability and morality; concepts to which business and management should aspire. The author points out that, during the time of Confucius' life, "a gentleman" was expected to be "balanced and should be as good an archer as a scholar"; in today's business world, this translates that an effective leader at work should be a well-rounded person, having addition avocations and talents outside of work and putting effort into his or her family and community. The paper relates that Confucius' universal virtues can help business managers overcome obstacles by using his golden rule (written well before the "golden rule" in the Bible): "What you do not want done to yourself, do not do unto others" or, if you expect your employees to treat you with respect and dignity, rather than with scorn and animosity, then do not treat them poorly.

Introduction
Confucius as Teacher and Statesman: Establishing a Vision; Stimulating People to Gain New Competencies.
Overcoming Obstacles and Helping People to Overcome Failures
From the Paper
"Confucius wrote many important works which are studied and utilized today in a number of societies - especially Asian societies. One of his more poignant and profound works is called the Analects (Lun Yu), in which his teachings - and some of his sayings as well as memorable sayings of his disciples - are to be retrieved. "The Analects is regarded as the most influential Confucian text", and though it is not a continuous story, it covers brilliantly and succinctly the areas of virtue, moral cultivation, education, music and government. "Never disobey," Confucius replied when asked about filial piety."

Gender Differences in Business Management, 2008.
This paper looks at the differences between men and women as they relate to business management.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews journal literature dating from 2005 and later, noting that there is almost complete agreement that there are differences between men and women' management styles. The writer notes that the literature finds that women are regarded as bringing a more open and cooperative style to business leadership, which can enhance business operations. Thus the most successful businesses are those which integrate women and their skills into operations. The writer points out that professional literature on gender differences shows that disputes between men and women appear to be fading from the scene. While this is certainly not entirely the case, there is a comparative lack of serious, peer-reviewed articles dealing with gender conflicts in business. The writer maintains that this is partly a result of the many statutes that have been adopted in the United States and most western nations making discrimination illegal and giving civic remedies to those victimized by this discrimination.

Abstract

From the Paper
"A good deal of new research has been done in recent years concerning women and sales, because sales is perceived as an area in which people can advance rapidly. A good deal of the research in the sales setting has focused on gender based differences in approaches. Females, for example, tend to believe that other sales-people they encounter have a considerable degree of expertise, attributing to them a much higher degree of competence than their male colleagues do. Further, women overall place higher values on cooperative efforts and the fostering of harmonious relations. They also, as noted, tend to tend to use an integrated approach to information tasks. These traits, taken as a whole, allow women to perceive conflict between buyers and sellers as functional rather than dysfunctional. They tended to view these conflicts as exchanges of information, whereas men tended to view them as affective conflict, in which values were genuinely at stake."

Abstract
In a highly competitive world, business strategy is vital to success and, as demonstrated by some individuals, an ordinary business can be converted into a massive chain of outlets on an international scale. An example of this kind of success is Ray Kroc's McDonald's, which developed from a relatively small fast-food company into a fast-food chain with outlets in nearly every corner of the world. The paper discusses the reasons behind this incredible business success story, focusing on the qualities in the man, Ray Kroc, such as vision, authority, and perseverance, which made McDonald's what it is today.
From the Paper
"Two particular accounts that have been remembered about his authoritative attitude include the time that he fired an employee for not wearing properly polished shoes. The second account that is remembered is the time that he nearly fired a manager for not having enough of what he called ?potential? (Kroc & Anderson, 1990). This authoritative attitude is one that can so easily be associated with cruelty and lack of consideration for employees. However, this action demonstrates the standards that Kroc expected to maintain without any exceptions being made."

Abstract
This paper discusses how ethical issues in the business world have changed since the demise of companies such as Enron, WorldCom, and Arthur Andersen. According to this paper, several different approaches have been suggested for businesses today to cope with the issue of ethics and for corporations to develop ethical guidelines.
Outline:
Introduction
Ethical Issues
Ethical Grounding
Leadership
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The issue needs to be considered from the smallest infraction to the major ones. The latter, of course, are what get a company into trouble, while the former often lead to the latter. However, business people seem to have a number of rationales for why certain behaviors that might be unethical in everyday life are not in business. Carr (1993) argues that there is an agreement among people in business that bluffing is accepted and that, in the words of British statesman Henry Taylor, "falsehood ceases to be falsehood when it is understood on all sides that the truth is not expected to be spoken" (Carr, 1993, p. 143). Carr argues that bluffing is not unethical in this context. It is not lying because while both bluffing and lying would be meant to deceive bluffing in business is accepted as part of the price of doing business and so cannot be considered lying."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"One of the most important aspects of business success is adequate preparation and planning. This is a fact that is noted in many studies on this issue. For example, a study by Rothe and Jurgensen, (1961) entitled, Matching Men to Job Requirements, states that a successful leader in business and industry has to observe central basic operational factors. These include planning activities, deciding what to do in certain circumstances and, "... organizing a group of persons to carry out the plans that have been decided upon ...leading the organization toward the established goal, and ... analyzing the progress toward the goal" (Rothe & Jurgensen, 1961, p. 5)."
