Brother Secret, Sister Silence: Sibling Conspiracies Against Managerial Integrity

Journal of Business Ethics, 2006, vol. 65, issue 3, 219-234

Abstract: I offer a new cartography of ethical resistance. I argue that there is an uncharted interaction between managerial secrecy and organizational silence, which may exponentially increase the incidence of corruption in ways not yet understood. Current methods used to raise levels of moral conduct in business and government practice appear blind to this powerful duo. Extensive literature reviews of secrecy and silence scholarships form the background for an early stage conceptual layout of the co-production of secrecy and silence. Copyright Springer 2006
