Organizational Wrongdoing as the "Foundational" Grand Challenge: Definitions and Antecedents

Exploring the definitions and antecedents of organizational wrongdoing, chapters in this first volume probe the role of social control agents in drawing the line between rightful and wrongful behavior, examine the mechanisms and processes through which instances of wrongdoing turn into a scandal, and consider the antecedents of organizational wrongdoing which have received increasing attention in academic research in recent years but that still deserve further analysis. Taken individually as well as together, the two volumes that comprise provide a major touchstone for scholars interested in understanding recent developments and exciting new directions in the study of organizational wrongdoing.
