Corporate Governance, Organizational Ethics, and Prevention ...

This book examines how corporate ethics, social responsibility, and prevention strategies against financial crime may remedy shortcomings of corporate governance. Corporate governance structures and mechanisms may contribute to enhancing the value of integrity in organizational life. Nonetheless, executives and directors who emphasize a structural and procedural way of thinking often miss the point. Corporate governance structures and mechanisms can favor practices of integrity and righteousness. But those structures and mechanisms have deficiencies since they cannot allow the organization to avoid corporate deviancy and delinquency. The book describes how corporate governance and social responsibility reports and programs may allow executives and directors to deepen the meaning of corporate governance, as it is related to organizational culture. Furthermore, the volume discusses how corporate governance structures and mechanisms (including the board of directors and shareholder activism) might have a significant impact on the way integrity is safeguarded in an organization. The contributions shed light on methods to clarify and extend the implications of corporate governance while taking risk management strategies into account.
