ROTTEN examines the persistent and increasingly damaging series of corporate scandals in global business, highlighting their origins in bad apples (individual employees), bad barrels (corporate cultures that tolerate or even encourage misconduct), and bad orchards (corrupt competitive environments). ROTTEN is an insiders’ account of why past efforts to rein in misconduct have failed. It calls for executives and boards to take a dramatically new approach to managing corporate ethics and suggests ways employees, consumers, regulators, and the public can help. (AVAILABLE NOW)
