RT Book T1 Corporate compliance and conformity: a convenience theory approach to executive deviance T2 Routledge advances in management and business studies A1 Gottschalk, Petter 1950- LA English PP London New York PB Routledge YR 2023 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1847508758 AB "Traditionally, control in organizations is concerned with top-down approaches, where executives attempt to direct their employees' attention, behaviors, and performance to align with the organization's goals and objectives. This book takes a new approach by turning the problem of control upside down as it focuses on control of executives who find white-collar crime convenient. The bottom-up approach to executive compliance focuses on organizational measures to make white-collar crime less convenient for potential offenders. Rather than focusing on the regulatory formalities and staged procedures of compliance and audits, the book emphasises the organisational challenges involved in compliance work when trusted corporate officials exhibit deviant behavior, refining and advancing knowledge in this field by reference to contemporary international case-studies and associated original evaluative research. The themes and cases covered are carefully selected to provide the reader with an insight into professional conduct and procedural practice - the organisation of corporate compliance success, failure and corruption - with the theory of convenience placed at the fore. It is the bottom-up approach by application of convenience theory that makes the proposed book unique compared to other books on corporate compliance. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and upper-level students researching and studying in the areas of business administration, organizational behavior, corporate and white-collar crime, as well as business ethics and auditing"-- CN HV6768 SN 9781032459080 SN 9781032459141 K1 Commercial crimes K1 White collar crimes K1 Executives K1 Organizational Behavior K1 Business Ethics
