DESCRIPTION: Seminar Title: The Square Peg: Why the Environment Won’t Fit
  Management Models \n\n Abstract: Firms operating in environmentally vulne
 rable contexts will inevitably face difficult cases where long-term profit
 s clash with environmental values. This remains true even with enlightened
  management and strong regulation. Yet\, business models fail to acknowled
 ge this inconvenient truth. I explain why current business models reach a 
 “glass wall” in their ability to incorporate intrinsic values such as 
 environmental integrity. Two concepts will be introduced: the efficiency m
 odel and the value gap. Efficiency models use terminology designed either 
 to optimize the allocation of scarce resources toward measurable future go
 als or to explain the achievement of past goals. A value gap arises when i
 deal social corporate action diverges from ideally efficient corporate act
 ion. The presence of large\, recurring value gaps in extractive industries
  signals the need for fundamental changes—both in corporate decision-mak
 ing and in the business models that shape it \n\n Bio: Tom Donaldson is th
 e Mark O. Winkelman Professor Emeritus of Legal Studies\n&amp\; Business E
 thics at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He is one o
 f the most influential authors in the field of business ethics\, and has r
