The convenience theory approach
The convenience theory approach
This chapter explains the theory of convenience in terms of its application and relevance to consideration of the corporate social license. The significance of convenience theory in this instance lies within the avoidance of misconduct and crime to gain and keep the social license Thus, coverage addresses the challenge of directing executives to align their work with laws, rules, and ethics in terms of evaluation of executive status convenience, resource access convenience, and corporate deterioration convenience. Moreover, various bottom-up approaches are explored based on the theory of convenience in terms of outside-in normative pressure. It is argued that these bottom-up approaches to executive compliance and conformance focus on organizational measures to make white-collar crime less convenient for potential offenders.

Abstract
This chapter explains the theory of convenience in terms of its application and relevance to consideration of the corporate social license. The significance of convenience theory in this instance lies within the avoidance of misconduct and crime to gain and keep the social license Thus, coverage addresses the challenge of directing executives to align their work with laws, rules, and ethics in terms of evaluation of executive status convenience, resource access convenience, and corporate deterioration convenience. Moreover, various bottom-up approaches are explored based on the theory of convenience in terms of outside-in normative pressure. It is argued that these bottom-up approaches to executive compliance and conformance focus on organizational measures to make white-collar crime less convenient for potential offenders.
