This book presents the results of an international comparative study on the causes of rule deviation in business and medical organizations. Based on document and interview analyses as well as experiments, the discrepancy between (state) regulations and organizational practice is elaborated and discussed in an interdisciplinary perspective. On the basis of the distinction between organizational and individual deviance, it could be shown across national boundaries that the unwritten rules of the organization make a decisive contribution in explaining organizational wrongdoing, as well as their containment. Implications for effective prevention derived from this are also pointed out.

Der Panzer ist eine alte Idee, aber eine junge Erfindung. In seiner charakteristischen Anordnung von Feuerkraft, Panzerung und Beweglichkeit hat er den Landkrieg im 20. Jahrhundert revolutioniert.Dieses Buch untersucht die Geschichte des Panzers als Waffe und Symbol in Deutschland zwischen 1890 und 1945. Anhand der zeitgenössischen Kriegsbilder, der Rüstung, der Operationen und der Bilder vom Panzer beschreibt das Buch den Stellenwert des Waffensystems in den deutschen Streitkräften. Dabei wird deutlich, dass das idealisierende Vorstellungen vom Panzers seine tatsächliche militärische Wirkung oft überlagerten. Das Waffensystem Panzer wurde zum Indikator für soldatische Auffassungen über Technik, zum Symbol für die Niederlage von 1918, aber auch für die Blitzkriege von 1939/40 und für militärische Hybris. Im Panzer treffen Mensch und Maschine auf existenzielle Weise aufeinander. Das macht ihn bedeutsam bis in die Gegenwart.

Is a new spirit of capitalism emerging as a result of neoliberal adjustments in the global economy? The internationalization of management and its comprehensive neoliberals imprint fall short of the assumptions represented by globalization theory. Empirical data on the life trajectories and action orientations of CEOs from leading industrial companies in nine countries across Europe, Asia, and Latin America indicate that local institutional frameworks, diverse regional challenges, and historically embedded cultural influences exert more significant influence than global trends. Different strategies and structures have been identified based on problem-centered interviews with top executives, and they are made accessible for the first time in English for comparative purposes. The Editors Prof. Dr. Markus Pohlmann is Professor of Organizational Sociology, specializing in organization and social structure, as well as organizational crime at Max-Weber-Institute of Heidelberg University. Dr. Friederike Elias has been a research associate at the Max Weber Institute for Sociology at the University of Heidelberg from 2014 - 2023. She conducted research and taught there in the fields of organizational and labor sociology, with a special focus on the topics of management and digitalization. Since summer 2023, she is administrative director of the Josefine and Eduard von Portheim Foundation Heidelberg.

In an age of globalization there is frequent migration across national borders, resulting in a reconsideration of the notion, practice and social institution of national citizenship. Addressing this phenomenon, the book focuses on the exchange between, and responses, of Korea and Germany. In particular, the book deals extensively with citizenship in Korea where the concept of citizenship is young, and thus the study of citizenship is relatively scarce. This book may be the first of its kind, bringing together eminent Korean and German scholars to analyse various aspects of citizenship in Korea. It is hoped that it will contribute to scholarship in the fields of citizenship and migration and to an understanding of the flow of people and ideas between Asia and Europe.

Level of compliance - one of the most important prerequisites of good governance - varies widely across countries of the Global North and the less developed, Global South. Acts of non-compliance, such as electoral irregularities, dubious deals between private and public sectors, questionable role of the justice systems and financial scandals, though they vary greatly across countries, are an omnipresent reality of contemporary life. This volume has brought together a number of case studies of such deviant behavior in political, juridical and corporate fields, from several countries of Asia, Europe and South America, within a common framework. Instead of a moral approach based exclusively on the legality and illegality of the act, the authors of these essays dissect non-compliance analytically, taking culture and context into account. They argue that, while criminal and corrupt dealings deserve to be exposed by all means from an ethical point of view, seen from an interdisciplinary angle, one needs to probe deeper into the dynamic that leads to such non-compliance with the law in the first place. The Editors Elizangela Valarini is a postdoctoral researcher at Max-Weber-Institute of Heidelberg University. Markus Pohlmann is Professor of Sociology at Max-Weber-Institute of Heidelberg University. Subrata Mitra is emeritus Professor of Political Science at Heidelberg University, and Adjunct Professor, Dublin City University, Ireland.

In the fight against organizational malpractice and organized crime, both international guidelines and national regulations have become stricter. Nevertheless, the results seem not to reach the expected change. Corruption scandals involving large companies, political parties, sports organizations, hospitals, etc. have not come to an end. In order to explain the collective illegality within and through organizations of different sectors and embedded in different cultures, this conference proceedings gathers articles about corporate and organized crime by international renowned scientists and experts. The focus is on similarities and differences in current corruption cases and other forms of crime as well as questions about conventional and alternative prevention measures. Contents The fight against organized crime Anti-corruption in Brazil Corruption issues and corporate compliance in China Manipulation of medical patient data in organ transplantation Overcoming the current system of corporate criminal law Systemic and preventive effects of the market economy Target Groups Scholars and Students in sociology, criminology, legal studies, psychology, administration Lawyers, Attorneys, Judges, Compliance Officers, Managers The Editors Markus Pohlmann is professor of sociology at Max-Weber-Institute of Heidelberg University.
