The Groups

Chapter Chapter 14 in Tools of Effective Compliance, 2023, pp 147-157 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Compliance essentially targets the individual in its approach. In the tradition of jurisprudence, which does not know any collective actions, but only clears or condemns the individual. While the circumstances may be taken into account, the basic credo remains that the individual makes and is responsible for a decision. This tradition does not take into account the group to which this belongs. Economic activity is always also social activity, because it is sensibly oriented to the behaviour of others, belongs to the collective repertoire of (self-)evident behaviour and action types, to react to the expectations of others or to justify oneself or to be able to justify oneself in front of others (Hedtke 2014, p. 1). Economically acting persons are embedded in social groups and organisations. A group is more than the sum of its members, it leads a “life of its own”. This is made clear, among other things, because the majority of the serious, long-term compliance violations are committed by groups.
