ROTTEN: Why Corporate Misconduct Continues and What To Do About It
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 why corporate ethics programs, the teaching of business ethics, and other efforts have failed to reduce corporate misconduct. 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.
