      abstract = {This second collection of outstanding shortlisted  contributions from the Critical Management Studies (CMS)  Interest Group of the Academy of Management (AoM) "Dark  Side" case-writing competition continues to go where other  business case studies fear to tread. There are very many  case studies of business best practice when engaging with  social, environmental and ethical issues. But when  educators look for resources to illustrate to students the  more typical examples of bad - let alone scandalous -  practices of some firms, the cupboard is almost entirely  bare. And yet there is a critical need for business  educators to expose students and managers to such issues to  understand the different multifaceted phenomena of our late  capitalist era; to support critical, reflective moral  development; and to reflect and understand the complexities  of organizational life. To argue that such cases deal with  the bad apples in an otherwise functioning system misses  the point. Whether focusing on the phone-hacking scandals  at national newspapers, the influence of big pharma  companies on clinical trials, the Bhopal tragedy or the use  of child labour in the garment industry, the problems  discussed are of major importance and in many cases have  been demonstrated to be common practice for particular  companies. Good news they are not, but all are stimulating  and present students with dilemmas and decisions to make in  a myriad of ways. Each of these 14 selected cases from 2009  - 2012 has been thoroughly documented, peer-reviewed and  edited. They cover four continents (Asia, the Americas,  Europe, and Oceania) and both business and public  organizations. The industries covered range from extractive  industries, the energy industry, consumer products, pulp  and paper, movies, media, municipal affairs, academia,  banking, and the drug industry. The book is split into  three sections: "Community and Environment" "Human Rights  and Business" and "Ethics and Policy".},
