Beliefs of Borg-Warner
Abstract
Shows how the Borg-Warner Corporation developed a statement of values and beliefs under the leadership of its chief executive officer, James F. Bere. The "Beliefs," a set of general principles intended to guide business behavior, now must be given operational meaning as they are shared and communicated to a very large and decentralized organization. Provides students an opportunity to critique the development of a corporate statement of beliefs and to relate ethics directly to business policy and practice.
