What makes Corporate Scandals tick & explode?
According to Dr Mark Wexler, a Professor of Business Ethics at SFU, scandals can be force for change. At a CMA evening on the 26th January 2007, Dr Wexler presented a model of how scandals gain momentum describing how information on organizational limitations become amplified into moral outrage. Describing it as a struggle between cats (protectors of the status quo) and mice (those committed to exposing failings), Dr Wexler argued that scandals open up the “backrooms” of corporate life - the spaces normally hidden from the public. However, the calls for complete transparency are misguided - corporate backrooms are also the place where firms innovate and experiment. Find out more by listening to this 28 minute talk.
