This volume concentrates on different forms of honesty and
dishonesty in management and their consequences for managers, firms
and society. Honesty can be defined as the refusal to pretend that
facts of reality are other than what they are, while dishonesty -
including lying, stealing, cheating, distortion, concealing of
important information, failing to fulfil promises, and abruptly
abandoning a business relationship - presents its opposite.
Dishonesty can be blatant, massive, strong and active, or subtle,
minimal, weak and passive. The volume is divided into four parts.
The contributions of the first part concern the nature of
(dis)honesty in management. The second part addresses (dis)honesty
in public sector management and finance. The third part focuses on
(dis)honesty in firm management in Europe and Africa, while the
last part presents evidence on (dis)honesty in management in Asia
and America. The authors conclude that the understanding of
(dis)honesty and (un)ethical behavior differs in different
cultural, societal and organizational contexts; moreover, it is not
always easy to discover it. Dishonesty may lead to unfavorable
consequences for the dishonest and, quite often, also for the
honest party, but, sometimes dishonesty may pay off for the
dishonest party in the short term. This volume provides new
theoretical, managerial and policy insights in the field of
management research and it should interest scholars, managers and
policy-makers, but also others studying or discussing these issues
or having to decide if they should act dishonestly or not.
