In the light of Michael Walters’s declarations on the relationship of the perpetrator to the offense based on the theory of techniques of neutralization the article sets its sights on the structuring of in-house compliance programs in order to ensure internally prevention measures. In doing so the author states that those compliance programs should primarily rely on creating an atmosphere in which common neutralization strategies are not accepted. In order to be successful the companies need in-depth programs, which are goal-oriented. But there has to be a company interest in compliance as well. The “tone from the top” plays an important role when it comes to neutralization strategies. The essay shows the meaning of techniques of neutralization within the area of applied economic criminology.

This article explores the role of ‘systems of beliefs’ and disciplinary and professional norms and culture as a potential source of conflicts of interest in decision-making by professionals. In particular it argues that ‘intellectual’ views and professional values and agendas, may represent a potent source of potential conflicts of interest, which may not be readily recognised or fully understood across diverse disciplinary or professional settings, because of differing disciplinary/professional world-views, training and priorities. The article argues that there is a need for more open and honest cross-disciplinary conversations about how conflicts of interest are constructed and navigated in different scholarly and professional contexts. This is key to unmasking potential conflicts of interest that may unconsciously be sourced by particular intellectual views, positions and systems of beliefs, particularly when they are unquestioningly assumed to be beneficent. This discussion is important for decision-makers, such as university human research ethics committees and other cross-disciplinary institutional or organisational (corporate and non-corporate) decision-making or review bodies, for whom potential conflicts of interest are a core consideration in their activities and deliberations.

Integrity Management is generally understood as a reaction to forensically relevant corporate situations of any kind whatsoever. A critical case occurs (corruption, cartel, and fraudulent transactions) and the call is made for compliance (for external control) and integrity (for internal cleansing). The following article sees it from a different perspective: Integrity Management as a proactive control factor of support in the implementation of strategic goals. Starting with a quick glance at historical positions of the ethical discussion and in conjunction with some pragmatic considerations on the topic of integrity, it will demonstrate, using a case from practical experience, how an organization uses Integrity Management to shape the culture and thus the character of the enterprise in such a way that Integrity Management becomes a fundamental component in implementing the strategy.

Deutschland ist reich an einzigartigen Köstlichkeiten. Von Allgäuer Emmentaler bis Lübecker Marzipan, von Spreewälder Gurken bis Rheinischem Zuckerrübenkraut – die verschiedenen Regionen und Traditionen haben eine unendliche Genussvielfalt hervorgebracht. Wer einmal Dresdner Christstollen ®, Thüringer Rostbratwurst, Schwarzwälder Schinken oder einen anderen Gaumenschmaus probiert hat, weiß: Nur die Originale bieten den unverfälschten, einzigartigen Geschmack. Mit allen Sinnen lassen sich die Produkte am besten in der Herkunftsregion erleben und genießen. Im Laufe der Jahre sind die Spezialitäten über ihre ursprüngliche Region hinaus bekannt geworden und werden auch außerhalb der Landesgrenzen geschätzt. Doch Deutschlands kulinarisches Erbe lockt Nachahmer, die von dem guten Ruf des Originals profitieren wollen. Allerdings erreichen die „Kopien“ nicht die hervorragende Qualität und täuschen den Verbraucher über die wahre Herkunft des Produktes. Nur bei den Originalprodukten kann sich der Verbraucher auf die Ursprünglichkeit, die hohe Qualität und die Bewahrung der Tradition in der Region verlassen. Deshalb werden die einzigartigen Originale seit 1992 in Ergänzung zu nationalen Schutzregelungen auf europäischer Ebene geschützt. 2. Auflage, Redaktionsschluss: 28.10.2016
