ABSTRACT
The article warns that corporate power must be balanced with good citizenship. Findings from a survey entitled "Corporate Citizen Watch" are described, including the finding that the public at large tends to consider the impact that a company has on society when making investment decisions. Various insights from the survey are discussed, including the implementation of an effective ethics or compliance system based on the organizations core values to avoid damaging the organization's reputation.
