Facebook is to me a clear case, where missing company values created a huge mess. What are the core values/core beliefs of Facebook? I firmly believe that other than anything else a set of core values determines the long term fate of companies. Of course, it’s not enough to merely have a set of beliefs that you’ve put up nicely on the wall, but, rather, top management must speak and act according to these principles.



If you look at how Facebook was founded it's clear core values and ethics were not a priority from the beginning.


If you mean Facebook the tech firm, stop kidding yourself. It’s a for-profit enterprise, not a hero’s journey.


The very core principle of any public corporation is to show positive metrics to its shareholders during board meetings.


That is a goal, not a principle to operate by. An no, this is not just semantics.
