Sorry to quibble, but I think this article points to part of the problem we face when we look at this issue.

By definition, when the number of members of, "Demographic Cohort A," exceeds the number of members of, "Demographic Cohort B," then, "Cohort A," is a majority whether...

Picture me conflicted. One side of my brain says, "What took these guys so long?" I mean what's the whole point of personalized marketing if it isn't, well, personalized? On the other hand, I also understand the argument that says people won't share enough information.

But ... wait ......

Great question and a provocative piece.

First of all, let's face facts. This approach isn't just about "doing the right thing" for employees, done correctly it will strengthen an organization over time and may even improve non-HR areas such as customer service. Respect is, after all, contagious. That said,...

The other problem with the, "When in Rome," argument is that it totally absolves you of any shred of moral responsibility.

In Afghanistan it's O.K. to grow and sell opium as long as you pay off the local officials and the army. Does that mean U.S. companies should, overtly,...

Many people believe speed limits are unrealistic but that doesn't give them permission to violate them at will.

The issue here seems to be threefold: first, if the allegations are correct then Walmart de Mexico executives seem to have erred in favor of the expedient over the legal; two,...

Look ... large companies all seem to handle these kind of issues in the same way -- basically badly. Just look at the investigations to date in the Walmart de Mexico scandal or any succession story where the founder still has a large say in what happens to the...

First of all, I think we are mixing statistics here. For example, are the U.N. numbers reflective of total societal food waste (which I assume they are,) or just the food waste contributions of supermarkets as in the U.K. study?

These -- commercial and household food waste -- are two...
