Description
Resisting Corporate Corruption teaches business ethics in a manner very different from the philosophical and legal frameworks that dominate graduate schools. The book offers twenty-eight case studies and nine essays that cover a full range of business practice, controls and ethics issues. The essays discuss the nature of sound financial controls, root causes of the Financial Crisis, and the evolving nature of whistleblower protections. The cases are framed to instruct students in early identification of ethics problems and how to work such issues within corporate organizations. They also provide would-be whistleblowers with instruction on the challenges they’d face, plus information on the legal protections, and outside supports available should they embark on that course. Some of the cases illustrate how ‘The Young are the Most Vulnerable,’ i.e. short service employees are most at risk of being sacrificed by an unethical firm. Other cases show the ethical dilemmas facing well-known CEOs and the alternatives they can employ to better combine ethical conduct and sound business strategy. Through these case studies, students should emerge with a practical toolkit that better enables them to follow their moral compass.
What’s new in the 3rd edition?
The Second Edition was published in 2013 and offered cases on both Enron and the Financial Crisis. The Third Edition retains most of these cases but extends coverage into the post-Crisis, post-Dodd-Frank era. Questions posed include: have the causes of the Crisis been addressed, and have the conditions for resisting corporate corruption improved? New cases treat Goldman Sacks efforts to improve management of conflicts of interest, Morgan Stanley’s attempt to reform its business model and compensation system, the use of client funds at M.F. Global, bank manipulations of LIBOR and Citigroup’s struggles with Banamex. New essays provide a primer on Dodd-Frank and updated information on whistleblower options and legal protections.
