Is a new spirit of capitalism emerging as a result of neoliberal adjustments in the global economy? The internationalization of management and its comprehensive neoliberals imprint fall short of the assumptions represented by globalization theory. Empirical data on the life trajectories and action orientations of CEOs from leading industrial companies in nine countries across Europe, Asia, and Latin America indicate that local institutional frameworks, diverse regional challenges, and historically embedded cultural influences exert more significant influence than global trends. Different strategies and structures have been identified based on problem-centered interviews with top executives, and they are made accessible for the first time in English for comparative purposes.

This book presents the results of an international comparative study on the causes of rule deviation in business and medical organizations. Based on document and interview analyses as well as experiments, the discrepancy between (state) regulations and organizational practice is elaborated and discussed in an interdisciplinary perspective. On the basis of the distinction between organizational and individual deviance, it could be shown across national boundaries that the unwritten rules of the organization make a decisive contribution in explaining organizational wrongdoing, as well as their containment. Implications for effective prevention derived from this are also pointed out.

Das Buch untersucht und erklärt die Verstöße gegen Richtlinien und Gesetze im Feld der Transplantationsmedizin. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei die Falschangaben, durch welche die Patienten auf der Warteliste für ein Organ nach ganz vorne gerückt wurden. Markus Pohlmann sieht hinter die Kulissen der deutschen Transplantationsmedizin und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass wir es nicht nur mit einzelnen schwarzen Schafen, sondern mit systematischen Hintergründen in der Organisation der Transplantationsmedizin zu tun haben.
