Moral Mazes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moral Mazes (ISBN 0-19-506080-6) is a groundbreaking 1988 book on the world of corporate managers from sociologist Robert Jackall. Named the "Most Outstanding Business and Management Book" of 1988 by the Association of American Publishers, the book explains how the structure of corporations work to promote greed, credit-stealing, problem-hiding, dishonesty, fear, and confusion. Based on intensive fieldwork inside several large corporations we see exactly how the greedy and dishonest are promoted while conscientious objectors are forcibly silenced, ensuring all vestiges of personal morality are shorn away.
