This is what I would like to see, we all know corporations are very rarely actually concerned about the customer. Most of the time they're just worried about making the top dollar. Very rarely do we actually see proof of it though, but that may soon be changing!

I can't wait to see some of the info that comes out through Wikileaks in the coming year.

I like that too. Am dying to see what they will be coming up with. As I could imagine vengeance from a Government would be much milder than from a very large corporation.

Very curious to see what wikileaks has on corporate America. Waiting for Bank of America stock to? I wonder if wikileaks has the formula for Coca-Cola. (laugh)

The article that was quoted said that Bank of America stocks went down by 4% Ha! Wonder if the Wikileaks guys did some business under the counter on this one, as they must have known for sure that that may fall? Wonder how many people knew of this article about Wikileaks going for corporate America? And wonder whether the SEC has already opened a file on this?

There is so much of that business going on. SEC should look into any possible connection to wikileaks profitting off of this "news".

The same SEC that let Bernie Madoff waltz around stealing relentlessly? Yeah, I'm sure they're on top of things...

Oh NOOOOOO ...... I thought SEC was the one organization one could count on .... as from Canada, the Securities Commission thinks very highly of the SEC. Darn! Very Happy

Please, read this words in the article, said by Senior Vice President and Director of Issues & Crisis Management of MSL - New York, David Chamberlin:
Quote:
Said Chamberlin: “Consumers will forgive mistakes, but they will rarely absolve an organization that doesn’t behave responsibly.”


This simple phrase have one of the most important truths wherewith we must keep attention onto corporations or companies.
There really says the consumers normally forget mistakes. Normal mistakes! Normal not because is the policy of any company. We can try to see below the carpet and behind the wallpaper (or take the red pill if you prefer) to assimilate the truth.
A company is moved by persons (humans, thoug not to seem) and they learned the "spirit" of the company or the market. So, their brains works to arrive the purpose of the company. Then these mistakes are normal in the society and companies don't look for morality by its nature. You may even know a few (or a lot of) companies behave good, but is temporary. What a company is capable to do when starts a crisis?

The crisis is the company existence, not the safety of the employees or the maintenance of services. So, can dismiss, to cut back wages, to alter/to supress services and products, do financial wiles with future risks, etc... "the company must keep standing, come what it may".

Its "nature" (or structural running) is increase the production and the profit. The company or corporation is a "cultural philosofy" followed by all the people contitute it.
Maybe that is the point to change.
What do you think? Do you know a company or a corporation with other culture, with other structural running? I like know some...

I think wikileaks on corporate america will change a lot of things - especially all the unfairness that happens within organizations.
I don't think that corporate America runs things under proper processes, and hopefully after corporate america, they will target the other countries as well.
Hopefully companies will improve their infrastructure based on this nes and events that follow.

Money talks, and I think moving Wikileaks target from Government to Corporate, may be a whole different ball game as well as test of ethics for Wikileaks. Their corporate target may be able to make Wikileaks an offer that they may not be able to resist or refuse.

At first sight I though I wanted a Brazilian Wikileaks, but WL is biased, unfortunately. I wish we had, here in Brazil, people ready to disclose some internal documents regarding the companies that abuse the consumer.

Also, one of the last resources able to find government crimes and corruption has just been essentialy disrupted here in Brazil. The Federal Attorneys are all connected to the major party in here. But WL is not interested in here.

hmmmm... but what does Wikileaks survive on? - is it just the number of hits? or advertising, because thats one of the key areas that corporations will hit first.
Your right Deanhills - money talks, but I hope Assange and his team have integrity, and will give a better insight into actual corporate wrongdoings.

I think also that Wikileaks should tie up with transparency.org, which deals with anti corruption for countries, and some organizations as well.

So do I! I'd really like the corporations to be sorted out, but I wonder whether Wikileaks would succeed in doing that. Those corporations seem to have everyone in their pockets. I know that some of the Media are continuously trying to sort out discrepancies, but they don't seem to be able to get far with those. Problem is, the larger the corporation the more difficult it gets to figure out where they are hiding things. Such as the case has been with Goldman Sachs and Norman Stanley during the financial investment disaster of late 2008.

Well, if they are crazy enough to do what keep doing... I hope too. But, if the populations of the nations don't move yourself, like Brazil. How long WL will keep this integrity?

Deanhills I think the problem is the control of the corporations on our lives, not the hiden things. And you?

I would say both. If they hide things like Goldman Sachs did, then disaster can strike that impacts our lives. They do control our lives as well. For example BIG banks are almost unapproachable these days. One has to battle one's way through automated systems and if there is a problem it is almost impossible to solve it.
