I don't have much experience with managers because I freelance now and I've never worked at a company with more than about 80 or 100 people. So this is a real question and not snark... Assuming large companies continue to exist, how do you

It sounds like they looked at the research instead of the not terribly well thought out state laws. E.g.: This research examined the effects of hands-free cell phone conversations on simulated driving. The authors found that these conversa

Why not? The Corruption Perception Index[1] is the most famous attempt to do so. In their 0-10 scale--higher numbers being less corrupt--Russia is ranked at 2.1, India at 3.3, and China at 3.5. [1]: http://www.transparency.org/policy_resea
