One of the blogs I keep my little beady eye upon is “Civilising the Economy” by Marvin Brown, professor of business ethics at the University of San Francisco. You can get a measure of the man and his writing from the blog’s strapline:
My goal here is not to think outside the box but change the box we think in.
Anyway, a recent post he’s put up is about developing a new course on the ethics of social transformation from a global citizen perspective. Whilst not directly linked to them, I thought it would be useful to share the several levels of citizenship he identifies and discuss them from the business and corporate citizenship perspective.
As we’ll see, the gap between business and global citizenship sharing the same bench is wider than you might think.

If you’re of a certain age and plugged into social media, a certain milestone may not have escaped your notice during November: the 21st anniversary of the death of Freddie Mercury. A cracking excuse to get the old vinyls out an give them a spin .. or browse over to YouTube, whichever takes your fancy .. all the way from the original Queen album through to Made In Heaven.
