Ebook: Reconceptualising Corporate Compliance: Responsibility, Freedom and the Law

This book offers a comprehensive examination of the issues surrounding corporate compliance.
Why is it that technical compliance is so widely rejected by society yet so widely adopted and defended by corporate actors? Why is it that otherwise law-abiding citizens act contrary to their personal values when making compliance decisions within a corporation?
In this book, Dr Donovan answers these questions and provides a persuasive argument for the legitimate role of spirited compliance within a market economy. In doing so, she employs the lens of classical liberal ideology, challenging the widespread view that technical compliance is simply ‘capitalism’.
In an examination that has relevance beyond the compliance arena, the author also explores why and how corporate architecture contributes to the often atypical decisions that individuals make when acting within a corporate environment. The book draws upon behavioural psychology and offers insights into how the often-elusive goal of corporate behavioural change can be achieved.
