The book presents descriptions of 17 of the most prominent cases of misconduct since 2000.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rotten <\/em>is available on Amazon and other platforms and standard sources, and is priced attractively for use as a supplementary text or reading. The text is a short and an easy read for undergraduates and graduates.\u00a0 It could be the basis for a week of classes, a single session, or a semester project by assigning the 17 cases to groups of students. The authors have also posted seven short videos on the Lanarkpress.com website which answer the seven most commonly asked questions about the book\u2019s argument, as well as other video interviews and resources.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rotten-Corporate-Misconduct-Continues-about-ebook\/dp\/B08JCMZZ2V\">Click here to find this title on Amazon.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cROTTEN: Why Corporate Misconduct Continues and What to Do About It\u201d by Marc J.
