Description
The Perverse Organisation and its Deadly Sins examines how perversity manifests in corporate life. It explores four key "corporate sins" - pride, greed, envy, and sloth - through case studies of major organisations affected by these vices.
This book delves into the nature of organisational dynamics, revealing how certain roles become required to engage in corrupt practices, even if they go against individual values. It sheds light on the tensions between personal and professional responsibilities that can lead to perverse structures within organisations.
A valuable resource for managers, consultants, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics at play in contemporary organisational life, this book provides insight into how individuals in positions of trust may abuse their power and how collective perversity can occur despite individual attempts to act otherwise.
