This collection explores the subject of conflicts of interest. It
investigates how to manage conflicts of interest, how they can affect
well-meaning professionals, and how they can limit the effectiveness
of corporate boards, undermine professional ethics, and corrupt expert
opinion. Legal and policy responses are considered, some of which
(e.g. disclosure) are shown to backfire and even fail. The results
offer a sobering prognosis for professional ethics and for anyone who
relies on professionals who have conflicts of interest. The
contributors are leading authorities on the subject in the fields of
law, medicine, management, public policy, and psychology. The nuances
of the problems posed by conflicts of interest will be highlighted for
readers in an effort to demonstrate the many ways that structuring
incentives can affect decision making and organizations' financial
well-being.
