One of the strength's of this book is the many vivd and fascinating case studies of organizational wrongdoing that the author uses to illustrate each theory ... anyone with an interest in corporate scandals will find these case studies rich and compelling ... Palmer's book is both important and timely. (Carol A Caronna, Contemporary Sociology: A Journal of Reviews)

Palmer's book is both important and timely... [and his] exploration of these questions covers a wide range of disciplines - sociology, psychology, social psychology, criminology, political science, economics, and philosophy - giving his book an impressive breadth. He provides thorough and careful descriptions and illustrations of eight specific explanations of organizational wrongdoing... Anyone with an interest in corporate scandals will find these case studies rich and compelling. (Contemporary Sociology)

Palmer provides an overview of the underlying theories, drawing on a range of disciplines sociology, economics, psychology, ethics and management and provides examples showing how each explanation can be applied. ... the book is very useful for anyone interested in organizations and ethics. With his fine review of relevant theories and by providing a wealth of examples, Palmer is able to demonstrate that organizational wrongdoing is indeed normal, as his title suggests. (Ian Towers, Work Employment & Society)

Donald Palmer has developed a provocative argument about the inevitability of organizational wrongdoing. What we have here is a critical, inclusive, sociological analysis that takes the perspective of embedded wrongdoers[The book] could easily be a basic text for organizational studies courses of any kind. Why? Basic positions are presented and compared. Ethics are not compartmentalized. Applications are not oversimplified. Readers understand more clearly why organizational participants may develop a cynical outlook. (Karl Weick, ASQ, 14/07/2013)
Reseña del editor:
Instances of wrongdoing in and by organizations have featured heavily in news headlines in recent years. Why do organizational participants―employees, managers, senior officials―engage in illegal, unethical, and socially irresponsible behavior?

The dominant view of wrongdoing as an abnormal phenomenon assumes that the perpetrator is a rational, proactive actor, working in isolation. However, Palmer develops an alternative approach in this book, examining wrongdoing as a normal occurrence, produced by boundedly rational actors whose behaviour is shaped by the immediate social context over a period of time.

The book provides a comprehensive critical review of the theory and research on organizational wrongdoing. By using rich case study material, it illuminates different perspectives, potential explanations, and policy suggestions for the reduction of organizational wrongdoing.
