Criminality and Business Strategy: Similarities and Differences
explores what can be learned from criminal organizations on four
continents based on comparisons of their historical and cultural
origins, chosen governance and power structures, and business
models. It discusses how these contexts determined their
applications of the principles and practice of effective, but
amoral leadership, and whether these lessons can be applied to
legitimate business enterprises. In this book John Zinkin and Chris
Bennett argue that defining a "crime" is a contested issue and that
criminality can be viewed as a spectrum, comprising a range of
different types of crimes, the harms caused, and the variety of
punishments involved. They discuss the critical role of the state
in determining where criminality is perceived to sit on the crime
continuum. The authors delve into how the state and organized crime
are natural competitors, and how organized crime and legitimate
businesses are subject to many of the same internal and external
strategic considerations. They contend that the resulting
similarities between criminality in organized criminal
organizations and legitimate businesses are greater than the
differences and that the differences are only in degree and not in
kind. This thought-provoking study of criminality will be of
immense interest to professionals, coaches, consultants, and
academics interested in the techniques and ethics of leadership.
The book is, in effect, the result of an intellectual journey of
the authors from the ideas presented in their earlier book, The
Principles and Practice of Effective Leadership, to the issues in
this book discussing important, difficult, and contested subjects.
The journey continues in their third book: The Challenge in Leading
Ethical and Successful Organizations.
