There is no denying the global economy is changing at a rapid pace. Competition is increasing in intensity, technology is increasing in complexity, and innovation is increasing in importance, but approaches to managerial decision-making have not kept pace. This rigidity explains such corporate disasters as the blowout, explosion, and fire at the BP drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, the total collapse of the residential mortgage industry that started in 2006, and the use of lead paint on children's toys revealed in 2007. Managers today face 21st century problems, and Avoiding Corporate Breakdowns provides the means of solving these very problems.

Industry Reviews

"This is a great book that, in a remarkably succinct way, synthesizes both state-of-the-art academic thinking about corporate responsibility with practical applicability for busy managers. Any reader who picks up this book and reads it will be much the better off for doing so and those with whom that person works will be better off as well." - Timothy L. Fort, Executive Director, Institute for Corporate Responsibility, George Washington University, USA

"Avoiding Corporate Breakdowns explains why individual managerial integrity is not enough to prevent corporate scandals and catastrophic organizational failures - managers must also carefully attend to organizational systems and cultures. A great read for any manager interested in creating organizations that make a positive difference in the world." - Alison Davis-Blake, Edward J. Frey Dean, Stephen M. Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, USA
