Corporate Governance

Shameless plug for our new textbook on corporate scandals

By Nancy Rapoport

The second edition of our textbook (for law schools, business schools, and other organizations) on corporate scandals is about to hit the shelves (see here).  We're calling this edition Enron and Other Corporate Fiascos: The Corporate Scandal Reader, 2d (Nancy B. Rapoport, Jeffrey D. Van Niel, & Bala G. Dharan, eds.) (Foundation Press 2009).  The thesis of the book, which is a collection of essays, is that there are reasons that we don't learn from prior corporate scandals--and those reasons include not recognizing that our assumptions are wrong, fixing the wrong problems, and making some cognitive mistakes just because we're human.

The book will be available later on from Amazon.com and BN.com.  If you have any questions about the book, please email me at nancy.rapoport@unlv.edu.
