Enlightened Self-Interest

Individualism, Community, and the Common Good

By: Thomas J. Bussen,Henry Biggs,Timothy Bono

In the face of entrenched politics in a polarized society, ineffective economic policy in an unequal society, and environmental inaction in a world that is burning, many well-intentioned people are left feeling helpless, dispirited, and most importantly, apathetic, before an immovable force. They recognize the need for structural, legislative, and policy changes to address the legacy of slavery and deeply rooted inequality in the United States in particular, but they still may yearn to do something as individuals to promote change in these areas. What changes can individuals make in their personal lives that could foster a more civil, equitable, and sustainable society? Recovering lawyer and Miami University business professor Dr. Thomas J. Bussen, Washington University's Dr. Timothy Bono, and longtime academic-practitioner Dr. Henry Biggs address this question in a meticulously researched and empirically rooted book. Together they present a sharp critique of America's ruthlessly self-interested culture while offering a holistic understanding of "enlightened self-interest" as an actionable alternative.They first identify how our own taken-for-granted assumptions and societally sanctioned competitions for money, power, and fame promote selfishness, personal alienation, and widespread inequality. Crucially, however, they then propose a simple, specific, and immediately actionable alternative: acting with enlightened self-interest, in which self- and other- interests merge fluently.With the knowledge that individual actions are not enough, they ask the reader this question: For all that we cannot do, is it not time to ask what each of us can do? Is it not time to do the hard work, to move the proverbial needle - even if it does little more than quiver? Is it not time to know, with a certainty that is rare in this complex and confusing world, that to change any life is to change a universe? With humility, with patience and empathy for self and others, and with a clear lens through which to view each of our worlds, let us shake the foundations on which we stand"--

Compliance Management

A How-to Guide for Executives, Lawyers, and Other Compliance Professionals

By: Nitish Singh Ph.D.,Thomas J. Bussen

This practical guide shows how to build an effective compliance and ethics program that will lower a business's risks and improve productivity. Research increasingly supports the notion that ethical, compliant businesses see increased productivity across a range of measurements. This practical guide tells business professionals, business and law students, and other interested parties exactly how that goal can be achieved. The book covers an extensive range of ethics-compliant laws and regulations impacting businesses today and identifies critical factors for successful compliance programs. Going well beyond works that speak in general terms about compliance-based actions, this unique volume delves into details about specific regulatory issues and the steps that can be taken to mitigate risk. The first half of the book shares general guidelines for creating or improving internal compliance and ethics programs. The second half identifies specific, high-risk regulatory areas; provides an overview of relevant laws; and sets forth best practices specific to the regulations discussed. By providing a simplified understanding of compliance with laws related to issues such as antitrust, international business, wages and labor, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and health care, the environment and more, the guide offers readers the tools necessary to improve an existing compliance program or create a new program where none has existed before.
