Beskrivning

Confronting Corruption in Business focuses on the contextual issues that trigger corruption to give the reader a more thorough understanding of destructive leadership. It provides students with a unique, critical perspective on issues of leadership, corruption, and policy in different countries, industries, and companies.While there isn’t a universally agreed upon definition of corruption in social sciences, it generally refers to efforts to secure wealth or power through misusing public power for private gain. This kind of destructive leadership is typically treated as an anomaly, but this book closes the gap in our understanding by highlighting the wider consequences of this behavior within business, and on an international level. Armed with this understanding, one also learns how to mitigate its causes and consequences. Edited by leading experts, the book includes contributions from scholars with international expertise on leadership, strategy, political science, finance, organizational change, and public policy. It is the first book to focus on corruption on the country level and within business, and students in international business, management, ethics, and leadership classes will find it a valuable read.

Recensioner i media

This book provides a comprehensive approach to corruption, contextualizing it within organizational dynamics and effectiveness, culture and individual leadership. Belasen and Toma, both distinguished scholars, gather an impressive group of collaborators to provide detailed international cases and environments. They suggest it is the organizational culture and normative structure, authority figures and individual leaders that provide necessary elements to ensure enduring fairness and integrity. Often books on corruption are not hopeful. This one is. It provides tangible approaches of civic engagement and leadership—steps any of us can take to prevent corruption in our organizations. –Laurie N. DiPadova-Stocks, Park University, USAThe information provided in Confronting Corruption in Business is quite impressive. Power, management, and leadership related to the major topic shows a clear theoretical focus and key industry segments impacted. Comprehensive, strategic, and very well written. The textbook is a winner! –Jeff Ritter, Barry University, USA
