Entering developing markets, companies are challenged by various cultures and widespread corruption. This book is a cross-cultural survey that explores the crime preventive effects of corporate cultures and compliance management systems (CMS) in China, India, Russia and Germany. Almost 2,000 managers anonymously reported about the compliance programs in place and cultures in their companies as well as on their experience with corruption at work and in everyday life.Despite differences across countries, results suggest that the elements of an integrity-promoting corporate culture are similarly important in their corruption preventive effects.The second major result is that a CMS can develop its effectiveness only when combined with an appropriately practiced integrity-promoting company culture.Third, companies can counteract the negative external influences of a corruption-prone national culture. Moreover, spill-over effects of an integrity-promoting company culture can make an important contribution to national cultural change. For this reason, an integrity-promoting corporate culture is a contribution to corporate social responsibility.

Diese Arbeit widmet sich den Gefahren der Vernetzung durch Vernetzung. Ziel ist eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Begriffsverständnis Organisierter Kriminalität in der analogen und digitalen Welt, wobei die kriminologische und strafrechtliche Perspektive beleuchtet wird. Um dem Mythos, der um das Phänomen Organisierte Kriminalität herrscht, nachzugehen und ihn zu objektivieren, wird zunächst der Wandel und die Bedeutung der gesellschaftlichen, wirtschaftlichen und kriminellen Vernetzung nachgezeichnet und die daraus resultierenden Gefahren insbesondere durch Cybercrime und die Relevanz für Organisierte Kriminalität aufgezeigt. Im Anschluss wird die Etymologie und das Begriffsverständnis Organisierter Kriminalität in der analogen und digitalen Welt aus einer kriminologischen Perspektive untersucht und erörtert, inwieweit sich das Strafrecht an den Erkenntnissen orientiert, neuere Erscheinungsformen wie Cybercrime umfasst und am Begriff Organisierte Kriminalität schärfen lässt. Abschließend wird die Funktion und der Wert des Labels Organisierte Kriminalität diskutiert.
