Sales grew 8% last year; the stock price and profits have soared. Whatever rules he follows there are working...
...shareholder, it would raise questions in my mind about how honest, transparent and responsible a CEO is being in other dealings," says Andy Wicks, co-director of the University of Virginia's Olsson Center for Applied Ethics.
