    Okay and, generally, companies are not motivated by shame, they register the financial/legal/regulatory impact as a result of their misdeeds being known.

      That’s a non-nuanced take. A- properly wielded shame isn’t targeted at corporations usually, it’s targeted at the individual members responsible for corporations. B- corporate culture and “decorum” culture have made shame almost exclusively the domain of religion. Whatever example you’re thinking of as corporate shaming, that’s not what I’m referring to. I’m talking about the lost art of shame.

        Rarely do decision makers have the latitude to make sweeping changes to corporate structure and direction based on their personal feelings. A board of directors would remove such leadership.

        Give me an example of what you’re talking about then, if I’m off piste.
