The manipulative business and society

Article

Full-text available

Mar 2020

We extend the theory of secular business cults (SBCs) to manipulative businesses (MBs), which we define as a financially‐successful type of reformed SBC, and explain their influence on industry, government, and social environments. Prior work on irresponsible, illegally‐behaving, and anti‐social SBCs suggests that they arise when antisocial business leaders are left unconstrained. This article examines the other side of this argument: What emerges from the 'toxic triangle' when such leaders are constrained by legal limits? We posit that pressure from lawsuits leads to the metamorphosis of an SBC into an MB that retains the intent and "formula of success" of the SBC. In both business types (SBCs and MBs), the underlying process involves the unethical manipulation of the employee's commitment, and the buyer's interest, through established policies and business models for higher profits. We further explain how the profit‐seeking anti‐social business leaders who find success in the toxic triangle lead to the emergence of manipulative policies and practices in businesses, legal systems, and industries (the “iron triangle”), and eventually influences general societal norms.

The present study is an attempt to investigate the effect of light and dark adaptation in eyestalkless and eyestalk-extract-injected crabs (Sesarma boulengeri). It was found that in eyestalkless crabs in respect to background, the dominant colour was the pale one with appearance of dark spots on the carapace, whereas with eyestalk extract injection, the dominant colour was the dark one in respect ...

A New Infraspecific Taxon of Iris laevigata (Iridaceae) in Northeast China

December 2016 · Novon A Journal for Botanical Nomenclature

A new variety of Iris laevigata Fisch. (Iridaceae) is described from Jilin Province in northeastern China. The new variety I. laevigata var. alba Ling Wang, L. Su & F. J. Shang differs from the typical variety of the species by tepals that are mostly white (vs. dark blue). Further, the color of the anthers is white with a blue tinge in the new variety (vs. entirely blue in the autonymic variety). ...

Young Stars Associated with the Reflection Nebula NGC 2626

November 2000 · Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific

We have conducted a search for Halpha emission-line stars within the field containing the reflection nebula NGC 2626 and the associated dark cloud DC 259.9-0.0. Thirty-two Halpha stars, most of them newly discovered, have been identified. Magnitudes and colors for these stars are listed. Some are found to be variable and are possible T Tauri stars. Changes between 1991 and 1999 in the brightness ... [Show full abstract] and appearance of a small reflection nebula in the region are shown. These are caused by an unevenly obscured young stellar object which is the probable source of IRAS 08337-4028 and the Herbig-Haro object HH 132. The overall morphology of the small nebula is strikingly similar to that of the well-studied HH 46-47 configuration, but the NGC 2626 region is at about twice the distance.

Spectral reflectance properties of carbonaceous chondrites: 1. CI chondrites

March 2011 · Icarus

Existing reflectance spectra of CI chondrites (18 spectra of 3 CIs) have been augmented with new (18 spectra of 2 CIs) reflectance spectra to ascertain the spectral variability of this meteorite class and provide insights into their spectral properties as a function of grain size, composition, particle packing, and viewing geometry. Particle packing and viewing geometry effects have not ... [Show full abstract] previously been examined for CI chondrites. The current analysis is focused on the 0.3-2.5 mum interval, as this region is available for the largest number of CI spectra. Reflectance spectra of powdered CI1 chondrites are uniformly dark (

Hypomorphic mutants of Nmdar1 exhibit reduced chronic ethanol tolerance. Ethanol sensitivity (A) and chronic tolerance (B) were quantified using the inebriometer for 2 different homozygous insertion mutants in Nmdar1, EP331 and EP3511, compared to isogenic background control flies. The EP3511 mutant showed a highly significant reduction in tolerance, and also exhibited increased sensitivity ... [Show full abstract] (p<0.001, one-way ANOVA with post hoc Holm-Sidak; n = 9 or 10).

In panel A, dark colored bars represent inebriometer METs of flies pre-exposed to ethanol vapor, and light bars represent METs of parallel samples for each genotype pre-exposed to humidified air.
