"Reflecting on illicit business is important for detecting and preventing criminal entrepreneurship. This book applies the terminology from regular business to understand motives, opportunities, and willingness to operate on the wrong side of the law. Simply stated, you cannot fight something you don’t understand, and you cannot fight someone you don’t understand. That is why this book is so important." Petter Gottschalk, Professor Emeritus, Department of Leadership and Organizational Behaviour, Norwegian Business School
