In the ever-changing world of business, we've arrived at a point where process has trumped culture, where the race toward efficiency has left us unable to reach our potential. Stuck in the land of status quo, we've forgotten how to think. The very structures put in place to help businesses grow are now holding us back;; it's time to Kill the Company. This book is a call to arms: to start a revolution in how we think and work. But instead of more one-size-fits-all change initiatives forced upon employees, we need to embrace small changes that create ripple effects throughout the organization. Lisa Bodell urges companies to move from "Zombies, Inc." to "Think, Inc." Thinking can no longer be exclusive to the creative team or lead strategists. A culture of curiosity must be fostered among the ranks to shake up our standard practices, from unproductive meetings to go-nowhere strategic planning. This revolution can and will awaken our ability to think, and ultimately, to innovate and grow.
All the reviews are in! ExxonMobil, Volkswagen, and Big Pharma hate this book. Monsanto hates this book so much they are trying to genetically modify it. Big Pharma thinks this is the worst book ever written because their pills won't cure it, and the chemical corporations are trying to spray all the copies of this book with pesticides to try and kill it. McDonald's, Burger King, and Arby's are grinding this book up and feeding it to cattle. Wall Street CEOs are throwing this book off the decks of their yachts. If he could read, Donald Trump would build a wall around this book, because it contains facts. And the public will definitely hate what's in this book, which is exactly why they need to read it.Businesses, especially large corporations, are becoming more and more controlling influences in the global economy, in governments, and in public policy throughout the world. In fact, corporations have become almost soulless monsters in the singular pursuit of profit, perpetrating, even feeding off human misery, threatening every aspect of human life--the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the health care we receive, and even the survival of humankind itself. Dr. Brian Moench reviews the historic and current inhumane behavior of well known corporations, offering shocking detail and insights about the pharmaceutical, chemical, financial, pesticide, biotech, food processing, lead, gun, asbestos, and fossil fuel industries. A common denominator among them is that despite scientific and empirical evidence of the danger and lethality of their products, these industries successfully fought off meaningful regulation for many decades, and many are still succeeding today. Why is it that corporations run by seemingly accomplished and talented, if not admirable people, end up behaving like psychopathic, Frankenstein monsters, where profit eclipses all other considerations, including the literal survival of the human population? In today's world, with the global reach of corporations, and their technological capability for destruction, those unrestrained pathologic urges are hurtling us all toward consequences unimaginable, and a future irredeemable. What must we do to save ourselves before its too late?
A corporation is an artificial legal person, existing only in the contemplation of law, having perpetual succession and common seal. Can a corporation commit crime, for its inability to form mens rea? If yes, then can it be accused of crimes as grave as homicide? Even post the Bhopal Gas Tragedy and the Uphaar Cinema Tragedy, absence of legislation such as the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act, 2007 (UK) is no less a pity. Absolute liability theory (coupled with deep-pocket theory), though is an improvisation over the strict liability theory but has failed to ensure corporate criminal deterrence. This book is an attempt to ponder over issues relating to corporate criminal behaviour, in particular 'corporate homicide' and 'corporate manslaughter'.
