Ethics and Politics in the Corporate World

Abstract

Moral Mazes: The World of Corporate Managers, by Robert Jackall.* New York, New York: The Oxford Press, 1988. 240 pages. $21.95. This is an interesting, unorthodox, and provocative book. The author is Robert Jackall, Professor of Sociology at Williams College and author of various works on the social structure of workplaces in this country. His previous studies have focused on blue-collar and other lower echelon workers in their struggles to maintain economic security and personal integrity in the workplace. This study concerns "workers" in management- not CEOs but mid-level management and managers near the top at the divisional level.
