In times of economic and financial crises, the content of this book
rings true. Drawing from interviews with executives, senior managers
and/or auditors from renowned companies (eBay, Google, Hewlett Packard,
Intel, Levi Strauss & Co., Microsoft, Novartis and many others) and
theory from fields of sociology and social psychology, this research
study provides an understanding of how "tone at the top" imprints on an
organization and why that imprint works. More specifically, it discusses
how managers' principles and practices can actively shape an open-minded
culture that enhances effective internal control.
