    J'ajoute ici deux liens, en anglais, à propos de l'industrie musicale :

    - le journal de Robert Fripp, leader du groupe King Crimson, fondateur d'un éditeur de musique indépendant et éthique, Discipline Global Mobile.

    - un bouquin écrit par les membres de (ex-)KLF, célèbre groupe dance/pop de la fin des années 80 : The Manual (how to have a number one the easy way), anecdotique mais instructif, est censé donner une méthode infaillible pour sortir un single qui soit au sommet du Top 50 anglais.

    "The Ethical Company

    Recognisable features of the ethical company, in the literature and discussion of business ethics, involve these attributes:

    transparency,
    straightforwardness,
    accountability,
    owning-up,
    honesty,
    fairness,
    common decency,
    distributive justice.

    Recognisable features of a company whose base is ethically challenged are these:

    dissembling,
    use of threats,
    unkindness to employees,
    a widespread use of gagging orders,
    an inequitable distribution of company income.

    A company which would rather conduct its business:

    verbally (particularly with regard to disputed issues) instead of committing its views to writing;
    commonly resorts to litigation, or employs the frequent threat of such; employs gagging clauses as standard policy;
    pays its directors highly disproportionate sums in comparison with its employees;

    this company is suspect and should be avoided wherever possible.

    It is a sad commentary on current business and public life that this needs to be written, or debated.

    transparency + straightforwardness = honesty
    accountability + owning-up = responsibility
    distributive justice + fairness = equity
    common decency = goodwill


    The Four Pillars of The Ethical Company

    Honesty
    Responsibility
    Equity
    Goodwill
