Effects of Exposure on the Ecology of the Magic Industry:
Preserving Magic’s Secrets in the Absence of Law
A Study in Business Ethics
Abstract:
The magic secret is a distinctive kind of intangible resource that defies established economic theory of intellectual property law.Exposure reveals the secret, and thereby destroys its value.The goal of this essay is to explore and frame significant problems within the enterprise of conjuring, and to illustrate how the magic industry has developed a particular set of informal norms and rules for violators, which go some distance toward protecting intellectual property in the absence of law.

Cultural and Ethical Reciprocity:
The Impact on Culture on Concepts of Ethical Business Leadership
Abstract:
The interaction of Culture and Ethics is becoming such a hot topic; that it will burn top echelon managers if they fail to decipher the subtle and sensitive issues encountered in a diverse workforce. Despite the dire need to address a paradigm shift in handling employees and operating organizations, not much empirical evidence on the subject ofcultural ethicscan be found in the literature. Managers often errwhen a curve ball labeledculture and ethicsintertwined is thrown at them since they are unfamiliar with the cultural background of those being supervised. Therefore, decisions are made without an awareness of how these cultural an ethical nuances affect the individual. This study investigates the influence of culture on concepts of what constitutes ethical leadership in business among United States citizens today. Issues of gender, ascribed vs. achieved status, and power distance are addressed in terms of what constitutes ethical leadership amongst business managers.
