Welcome to the Members’ Library available exclusively for our Gold and Training Members.
Here you will find some of the longer, in-depth articles and white papers we have produced as PDFs, to make them easier to read and download, conveniently collected in one place for your reference. The library will be added to as we produce more extended case studies. This includes lessons from our upcoming book which reviews the almost ten years of analysis published on this site.
Training and annual Silver and Gold Members will also get an exclusive free copy of the full ebook before it is publicly available.
The full Enron case study is also included free here. It presents our own analysis of the spectacular rise and fall of Enron. It is the first in a new series assessing organisations against ACG’s Golden Rules of corporate governance and applying our proprietary rating tool.
The Enron case study: history, ethics and governance failures
As we say in our business ethics examples homepage introducing this series, the first and most critical rule is an ethical approach, and this should permeate an organisation from top to bottom. We shall therefore always start with an assessment of the ethical approach of the organisation. The way this creates the culture determines the performance in relation to the other four Rules.
