The book posits that in recent years conformance has emerged as a key component in shaping corporate behaviour and informing corporate crises. With a series of widely publicised global scandals heightening awareness of extensive and serious repercussions, revealing severe financial and environmental impacts, operational issues, and even existential concerns. This has led to a growing body of research focusing on how such crises materialise, are perceived and might be strategically managed and prevented. The book foregrounds conformance as a proactive demonstration of adherence to contemporary ethical standards of globalized business practice, with the authors offering a novel perspective that considers conformance and associated normative pressures within a criminological framework. Here, convenience theory is applied to analyse a series of important contemporary case-studies, with the research illustrating how corporations and their stakeholders have used conformance to manage, maintain and, following periods of crisis, attempt to regain their corporate license to operate. The book further explores differences in strategic conformance responses in terms of perceptions and reactions from the public, media and criminal justice system.
