Corporate Deviance: Corporations vs Public Interest

In the early 1980's, General Motors built a new Cadillac factory found to be harmful to Detroit's Paulown community (Cura, 77). Although the intent of GM was to raise their corporate profits, they destroyed the Poletown community for migration and more destructive behavior (Cura, 77). Furthermore, John Clara's "Power, Social Network, and Organizational Deviation" found many institutions that support GM, not Paul Town citizens (Cura, 75-76).

Unlike dialogueists, they examine how different institutions affect their deviations and definitions Marxist says our definition of deviations and norms reflects the interests of capitalism. They say corporate crime, including fraud, corruption and evasion, is worse than street crime. Marxists believe that we are emphasizing only the "impact" of street crimes, and by so doing we are shifting focus from corporate crime. According to organized crime and corporate crime, the capitalist's interest has been strengthened, so in the capitalist culture, the definition of anomalies changed for the benefit of the capitalist. This is because capitalists place moral obligations, moral obligations and public interest aside, leading to an increase in the crime rate.

The purpose of corporate governance is to maintain the integrity of the company's efforts to investors. Another argument is that corporate governance is to reduce corporate prejudice and deviation is defined as a discrepancy between management's or director's expectations for investor's legitimate investment support. Well, good corporate governance means keeping promises, and vice versa. In general, companies are almost universally recognized as economic agents that promise to generate maximum value for shareholders.

Since the 1970s, as public opposition to corporate governance and environmental deterioration has strengthened, companies have been successful in promoting corporate rights and winning public opinion campaigns. This movement witnessed the emergence of corporate-supported law firms that intensely defend corporate profits by opposing environmental and social standards and regulations. These organizations are known as "public interest" groups, trying to hide corporate participation while identifying public interest as corporate profits. These include environment and consumer communities that not only are camouflaged as corporate lobbying activities, but also promote environmental and commercial deregulation. The academic community is also positioned as a research funded by the company on economics and law, laws that support the ideals of neoliberalism. Success of PR activities is due to the enormous financial resources and broad partnership between business groups.
