Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The search for responsibility in complex organisations often seems an impossible undertaking. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach combining law, social science, ethics and organisational design, Mark Bovens analyses the reasons for this, and offers possible solutions. He begins by examining the problem of 'many hands' - because so many people contribute in so many different ways, it is very difficult to determine who is accountable for organisational behaviour. Four possible solutions - corporate, hierarchical, collective and individual accountability - are analysed from normative, empirical and practical perspectives. Bovens argues that individual accountability is the most promising solution, but only if individuals have the chance to behave responsibly. The book then explores the implications of this approach. What does it mean to be a 'responsible' employee or official? When is it legitimate to disobey the orders of superiors? What institutional designs might be most appropriate? The modern world is dominated by complex organisations. In this book Mark Bovens analyses the questions associated with the search for responsibility within such organisations. The analysis is multidisciplinary, combining law, social science, ethics, and organisational design, and provides a number of suggestions for institutional reform. This item is printed on demand.
