About the Book

Taking a unique approach to business ethics unlike the typical focus on conceptual/legal frameworks, this book features 25 case studies that cover a full range of business practices, controls, and ethics issues. The new edition is fully updated with new case studies from the recent financial crisis, comparing it with Enron's crossing of various ethical lines. Interpretive essays explore financial control systems and lessons learned from specific case studies and circumstances. Readers will find a practical toolkit they can use to identify ethics issues and tackle problems effectively within corporations.

While treasurer of chemicals, he held positions that included director of Qenos (Australia's sole manufacturer of polyethylene, a joint venture with Orica PLC), director of Dexco (a joint venture with Dow Chemical), and director of Al Jubai Petrochemical Company in Saudi Arabia. Currently serving as an Executive Professor of Finance at the C.T.

In addition to authoring over fifty case studies based on his experiences at Exxon Mobil, he has previously taught at both Fordham University's Graduate School of Business in New York and Rice University's Jesse Jones Graduate School of Management in Houston.

Review :
Arbogast s meticulously researched case studies coupled with informative thought-provoking essays provide a practical guide to resisting corporate corruption, making this book a must-read for security professionals looking to expand their applied ethics toolkit. (Security Management, 1 November 2014) I highly recommend the essential and landmark book Resisting Corporate Corruption: Cases in Practical Ethics From Enron Through The Financial Crisis by Stephen V. Arbogast, to any students and faculty in graduate or undergraduate business course, law schools, top corporate executives, business leaders at all levels and sizes of companies, public sector decision makers, and students and faculty at any other organizations or schools offering business ethics instruction seeking a comprehensive and decision making based book through the medium of case studies. This book provides the background and the skill set to guide students and business leaders toward more ethical decision making in any industry." (Blog Business World, 29 May 2013)
