Reviews

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, USA The 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
