"Power, Carry out Your Laws!"

By Robert Amsterdam

These words stated by Mikhail Khodorkovsky at the start of a second show trial against him in Moscow this March should echo in the ears not only of the country's leadership, but also of all those who wish to engage constructively with Russia. For a leadership that does not respect its own laws is one that no one can trust - not its own citizens and not its foreign partners.

On the night this second sham prosecution against Khodorkovsky began, a prominent 67-year-old human rights activist was savagely beaten for among other things supporting the release of Russia's most famous political

Harrington Emerson was more than a consulting engineer. He was a pioneer of professional business management. The zenith of his career coincided with the development of a stock market structure, and with the Great Depression and its aftermath as well. He passed away more than two decades before Peter Drucker introduced Management by Objectives to the management world. After reading the writings of Harrington Emerson on the 12 Principles of Efficiency, a person has to conclude that Drucker did not know about this book when he was published for the first time.

A take-away from this piece of U.S. business management folklore is that records are like carpets. We do not know what transpired, on a day-to-day basis, in the minds of pioneering executives who pulled North America from depression to dominance. Though we cannot recover such treasures, there is not a day to lose when it comes to preserving
