Corporate Mismanagement: Bad Apples, Barrels, and Orchards

In this episode, we talk with business ethicist Kirk O. Hanson about corporate misbehavior. He and co-author Marc Epstein posit a theory that not only are there bad apples, but there are also bad barrels-- and some industries are just ripe with bad orchards.  In their book, Rotten: Why Corporate Misconduct Continues and Wh…, they tell the tales that end up inspiring corporate scandal documentaries on Netflix.  But what they do that the documentaries don't is give a prescription for how to clean it all up.
