Mr Clean 清白先生 Ian King wants to transform the way the world sthird-biggest defence company does business 伊安金想转变世界第三大军工公司的经营之道 ON JUNE 27th last year, just six weeks after MikeTurner, the chief executive of BAE Systems, hadbeen detained on arrival in America in connectionwith corruption allegations, Ian King wasannounced as his successor. Mr Turner andanother of the firm s directors were not held for long, and many felt that the Department ofJustice, which seized their laptops and BlackBerrys, had acted heavy-handedly. But theincident, which stemmed from a long-running investigation into claims that BAE hadlubricated the ?43 billion al-Yamamah arms deal with Saudi Arabiawith bribes to government officials and members of the royal family, was yet anotherembarrassment for the world s third-biggest defence company. 去年6月27日，就在英国BAE系统公司的首席执行官Mike Turner抵达美国即因牵涉腐败案件而被拘留之后六周，伊安金被宣布接替他的职务。Turner先生和另一位公司主管并没有被扣押太久，很多人认为，收缴了他们的手提电脑和黑莓手机的司法部出手过重。但这一事件使这个世界第三大军工公司又一次陷入尴尬。这一事件源于一个长期调查，旨在证明BAE向沙特阿拉伯的政府官员和皇室成员行贿，以促成430亿英镑的al-Yamamah军火交易。 |
