• Should Global Rules Have Legal Teeth? Policing (Who Framework Convention On Tobacco Control) Vs. Good Citizenship (Un Global Compact)

This study examines two multilateral initiatives, the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and the United Nations Secretary-General's Global Compact. These are two efforts to engage transnational corporations in the development process and in the articulation of a set of multilateral rules of engagement regarding good corporate behavior. The FCTC is more stringent and proscriptive, seeking to regulate corporate behavior. The second is an invitation to transnational corporations (TNCs) to cooperate voluntarily. The relative success of the two approaches is contingent on meeting seven parameters of legitimacy, and ultimately on the legal standing of the mechanism.

While successfully managing organizational change is not easy, three experts suggest that the issues influencing peoples' acceptance of change are not only predictable, but manageable. John Kotter, a Harvard Business School professor of leadership and the author of several books on change, cautions organizations that today's economic, sociological, and political environments require that they learn to adapt rapidly or cease to be competitive. According to William Bridges, executives and managers typically attempt to make changes with little understanding of the transitions people need to go through if the changes are to work. According to Pat Zigarmi and Judd Hoekstra, the leaders of any change effort need to address the concerns that people have when they are asked to change to assist ...
