Abstract

As documented in a number of case studies (from Telia Telecom in Sweden to Wirecard in Germany) in this book, recidivism seems to be of a substantial magnitude in corporate crime. Corporations tend to repeat white-collar offenses such as financial crime and environmental crime in various forms as long as they find it convenient. A minor fine from time to time and dismissal of some executives as scapegoats do not prevent corporations from committing and concealing new offenses as long as there is a convenient financial motive, a convenient organizational opportunity, and a convenient willingness for deviant behavior. Businesses and their executives tend to be recidivists who get away with light punishment in most jurisdictions. The relevant audiences for this book include law students, business students, sociology students, and criminology students. Fraud examiners, defense attorneys, compliance officers, police investigators, as well as prosecutors can find the structural model of convenience to be an ideal template in preparing corporate crime case narratives.

Abstract

Der Tagungsband zum Symposion "Unternehmensstrafrecht", das im Rahmen der Reihe "Economy, Criminal Law, Ethics" (ECLE) am Institute for Law and Finance in Frankfurt am Main Ende November 2011 stattfand, beginnt mit einer Reflexion der gesellschaftspolitischen Impulse für eine stärkere Gemeinwohlorientierung von Unternehmen. Daran schließen sich Betrachtungen über die Einflüsse der europäischen Rechts- und Wirtschaftspolitik auf eine Intensivierung und Erweiterung der Unternehmenshaftung an. Die Überleitung dieser Thematik in die interdisziplinäre Behandlung der Probleme wird unterbrochen durch eine Bestandsaufnahme der gegenwärtigen Rechtslage in Deutschland, die im wesentlichen durch ein entsprechendes Ordnungswidrigkeitenrecht gekennzeichnet ist, und exemplarische Darstellungen ausländischer Regelungen (z.B. Spanien, USA). Die substanziellen Grundfragen werden dann aus soziologischer, ökonomischer, psychologischer und philosophischer Sicht beantwortet. In einem weiteren Abschnitt werden legislatorische Konzepte eines Unternehmensstrafrechts unter Berücksichtigung aktueller kriminalpolitischer Überlegungen erörtert. Der letzte Teil ist Alternativen gewidmet, für die sich eine europakonforme deutsche Gesetzgebung unter Berücksichtigung verfassungsrechtlicher Bedenken entscheiden könnte. In einem Ausblick wird ein Modell vorgestellt, das die großen Schwierigkeiten zu überwinden versucht, die sich aus dem Nebeneinander kollektiver und individueller Verantwortlichkeit ergeben.

Abstract

When most people think of piracy, they think of Bittorrent and The Pirate Bay. These public manifestations of piracy, though, conceal an elite worldwide, underground, organized network of pirate groups who specialize in obtaining media – music, videos, games, and software – before their official sale date and then racing against one another to release the material for free.Warez: The Infrastructure and Aesthetics of Piracy is the first scholarly research book about this underground subculture, which began life in the pre-internet era Bulletin Board Systems and moved to internet File Transfer Protocol servers (“topsites”) in the mid- to late-1990s. The “Scene,” as it is known, is highly illegal in almost every aspect of its operations. The term “Warez” itself refers to pirated media, a derivative of “software.” Taking a deep dive in the documentary evidence produced by the Scene itself, Warez describes the operations and infrastructures an underground culture with its own norms and rules of participation, its own forms of sociality, and its own artistic forms. Even though forms of digital piracy are often framed within ideological terms of equal access to knowledge and culture, Eve uncovers in the Warez Scene a culture of competitive ranking and one-upmanship that is at odds with the often communalist interpretations of piracy.Broad in scope and novel in its approach, Warez is indispensible reading for anyone interested in recent developments in digital culture, access to knowledge and culture, and the infrastructures that support our digital age.

Abstract

Jörg Neubauer entwickelt ein Modell, das strukturelle Einflussfaktoren auf die Korruptionsanfälligkeit in kleinen und mittelständischen Unternehmen in Deutschland identifiziert und nach deren Stärke quantifiziert. Zudem untersucht er, ob persönliches Fehlverhalten des Individuums oder vorhandene Strukturen in Unternehmen Korruption stärker begünstigen. Anhand eines Strukturgleichungsmodells zeigt er auf, dass insbesondere die Beschaffungskomplexität und die Kontroll- und Präventionsinstrumente zwei Treiber für Korruptionsanfälligkeit in Unternehmen sind. Abschließend gibt der Autor Handlungsempfehlungen für das Compliance-Management von Unternehmen. Der Inhalt Korruption als strukturelle Herausforderung des Compliance-Managements Korruption in Deutschland Die Prinzipal-Agent-Theorie im Kontext wirtschaftlicher Korruption Einflussfaktoren auf die Korruptionsanfälligkeit Personelle Einflussfaktoren und ihr prädiktiver Wert Die Zielgruppen Dozierende der Fachbereiche Supply Chain Management, Einkauf, Beschaffung sowie Unternehmensethik und der beruflichen Bildung Praktiker in den Bereichen Compliance und Supply Chain Management sowie Wirtschaftsprüfer und Unternehmensberater Der Autor Jörg Neubauer ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter an der Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg und Koordinator der bayerischen Universitätsschulen. Seine Arbeitsschwerpunkte bilden neben dem Bereich business ethics die Bereiche Asylsuchende und Flüchtlinge sowie die Lehrerbildung. .

Abstract

This book is the newest and one of the very few existing examinations of the full nature of corruption throughout Central and South America. In detailed chapters written by experts with extensive in-country experience, it reveals the political and economic roots and consequences of corruption in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Peru. The editor’s introduction and conclusion texts synthesize their work and provides an over-arching view of corrupt practices and anti-corruption initiatives throughout Latin America. Corruption in Latin America shows the extent to which corrupt practices engulf each of the countries discussed, the involvement of political and corporate entities in the pursuit of ill-gotten gains, and the drag on development caused by corruption in each political entity. The book will be of interest for social scientists, political actors and social activists involved in the fight against corruption in Latin America by providing in depth analyses of the topic and discussing how best to pursue anti-corruption efforts through civil society actions, judicial endeavors, legal shifts, or elections.

Abstract

This book outlines the theory of convenience for white-collar crime to explain what motivates and enables offenders, providing a unique focus on white-collar crime in the business context. The theory of convenience suggests that the extent to which elite members commit and conceal economic crime is dependent on their extent of orientation towards convenience in problematic and attractive situations. Chapters are organized along the main theoretical dimensions of economical motive, organizational opportunity, and personal willingness. In addition, this book: Addresses a business audience by focusing on themes familiar to corporations Documents attitudes towards white-collar crime among business students and future business leaders Analyzes how convenience orientation varies among individuals Analyzes autobiographies of convicted white-collar offenders Demonstrates the various ways in which white-collar crime occurs The Convenience of White-Collar Crime in Business contributes to an increased understanding of white-collar crime, offering valuable insight in business education that supplements the traditional roles of topics like auditing and compliance in education and practice. It is a useful resource for researchers and law enforcement, and those involved in the detection, prosecution, and conviction of white-collar offenders.
