Original tape date: September 9, 2005.

Nowadays the action in the corporate governance arena is in the courtroom. We've been riveted by the details of the Bernie Ebers trial and the Worldcom case, and watching the two Michaels, Eisner and Ovitz, battle it out in the world of Disney. There will still be more to come what with Enron's top executives finally getting their day in court, as well as Dick Grasso, the handsomely compensated former CEO of the New York Stock Exchange. What are the evolving standards on issues like executive pay and the responsibilities of directors? Beth Young, Senior Research Associate at the Corporate Library helps us find an answer.

  • About this series

  • U$A Inc, currently not running on CUNY TV, offered a unique opportunity for senior members of the business community to share their thoughts on important business issues with a broad-based New York audience. While many business shows today seem focused on generating sound bites and tend to treat business as if it were a blood sport, U$A Inc allows for deeper discussion of the complex philosophical and ethical issues arising almost daily in the business world. Read the press release announcing the new series.

    U$A Inc was hosted by Sarah Bartlett, Bloomberg Professor of Business Journalism at Baruch College/CUNY. Professor Bartlett is a well-respected business journalist, having previously held reporting and senior editorial positions at the New York Times, Business Week, Oxygen Media, Inside magazine, and Inc. magazine.
