The elimination of misconduct convenience

The elimination of misconduct convenience
The elimination of misconduct convenience
This chapter applies the theory of convenience to conceptions of corporate crisis recovery, highlighting the perspective of reducing and eliminating misconduct convenience. Whilst recognizing that traditionally the theory has as its main focus crime convenience, here it is reversed to explore preventative capability. This reversal confers a value-orientation in what motivates action, a transparent organization in action and a normative pressure on behavior in action to encourage corporate performance deserving of the social license to operate. Substantive coverage within this chapter considers that a novel approach to recovery of the social license to operate might aim to reduce and eliminate the convenience of deviance, misconduct, wrongdoing, and crime. A value-orientation in what motives action, a transparent organization in action and a normative pressure on behavior in action – interrelated dimensions derived from the theory of convenience to support corporate compliance and conformance which achieves or maintains the social license to operate.

Abstract

This chapter applies the theory of convenience to conceptions of corporate crisis recovery, highlighting the perspective of reducing and eliminating misconduct convenience. Whilst recognizing that traditionally the theory has as its main focus crime convenience, here it is reversed to explore preventative capability. This reversal confers a value-orientation in what motivates action, a transparent organization in action and a normative pressure on behavior in action to encourage corporate performance deserving of the social license to operate. Substantive coverage within this chapter considers that a novel approach to recovery of the social license to operate might aim to reduce and eliminate the convenience of deviance, misconduct, wrongdoing, and crime. A value-orientation in what motives action, a transparent organization in action and a normative pressure on behavior in action – interrelated dimensions derived from the theory of convenience to support corporate compliance and conformance which achieves or maintains the social license to operate.
