Abstract: | This article sets out to examine the economic incentives behind corporate ethics in six case studies of exemplary and poor external relationships. The case studies are: Hewlett Packard's relations with its suppliers contrasted with supplier relations in the UK clothing industry: ServiceMaster's relations with its ultimate customers contrasted with relations in the UK mortgage industry; and United Biscuits' relations with its competitors contrasted with the relations between BA and Virgin during the "Dirty Tricks" campaign. |
