An Excellent Combination of Research and Case Studies
5 stars
This book makes a fantastic introduction to the speak up (i.e. whistleblowing) literature, surveying the state of the field while also bringing in compelling case studies. This area is only growing in importance, and this book is structured so that researchers, organizational practitioners, directors, and investors can all get up to speed and jump into follow up material. The example of the Iron Ring worn by Canadian engineers as a symbol/reminder of their ethical obligations was especially compelling. Highly recommend
