Críticas:

"Corporate Scandals is accurate and well-grounded both in business theory and in ethical perception of just how much a good society needs a moral foundation. It is a critique and a road-map forward combined in one wide-ranging discussion of stock-market capitalism and how to improve it. Steve Young, Global Executive Director, The Caux Round Table ...it speaks to the deep failure of public auditors and the accounting profession, the need to address breakdowns in corporate governance, and the potential opportunities that exist in business education. Having spent my entire professional life in these areas, I can confidently say that readers of this book will be well served. Sybil C. Mobley, C.P.A., Ph.D., Dean Emeritus, School of Business & Industry, Florida A & M University Corporate Scandals is the encyclopedia of corporate scandals and an essential text for Business Ethics. Dr. Gary Quinlivan, Dean of the Alex G. McKenna School of Business, Economics, and Government at Saint Vincent College The Gray, Frieder, and Clark author team does a terrific job integrating the diverse elements that resulted in unparalleled scandal. This work is detailed, objective, definitive, and includes the latest developments. Its insightful presentation of a $1.6 trillion financial heist is must reading for all observers of U.S. capitalism and corporate governance. Dr. Stanley D. Smith, SunTrust Chair of Banking and Professor of Finance, University of Central Florida "The authors pull together a great deal of material while providing important analytical insights.I found their exposure of "the great heist" scheme fascinating. Also, their presentation of the abuses perpetrated by the mutual fund industry points to the serious damage that has been done to the very foundation of our investment markets, if not our entire free-market system."--John M. Baker "Blurb from reviewer "

Reseña del editor:

These days, the business world is rocked more and more often by stories of frauds, thefts, and insider trading...on massive scales. This volume takes an in-depth look at several of the most notorious corporate scandals, inc. Enron, WorldCom, and Parmalat, as well as numerous other colossal white collar crimes. Each is covered in depth with analysis of how it was perpetrated and the knock-on effect on employees, other businesses, governments, and world economies. The authors also present a history of corporate scandals (1800 to present) and offer provocative insights on the institutional changes necessary to restore public confidence in big business.
