The success of corporates, it goes without belabouring, is contingent to a cocktail of premises.

The value system manifested in employee behaviour is a critical determinant of corporate reputation.
That is why the recent debacle involving international charity NGO, Oxfam’s staff in Haiti is a refresher case study in the convergence of employees’ conduct, corporate reputation and fortunes.
