This book attempts to look deep into the soul of the Act not only evaluating the efficacy of the policy, but also to verify the heralding for a new dedication to the ethical and moral boardroom in the public corporation. The project consults legislative, legal, historical, and philosophical primary and secondary research to confirm the big question, 'Does Good Behavior Pay Off?' The overarching goal is to ascertain to what extent does the Aristotelian credo of arete, or human excellence, serve the Future Manager and find its formula in The New Corporation.
