In Ethics and Risk Management, Lina Svedin examines the intersection of ethical considerations and risk management practices in organisations, particularly in the public sector. Svedin emphasises that effective risk management is not merely about minimising harm or avoiding liability but about incorporating ethical values into decision-making processes to balance competing interests and priorities. The book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how ethical principles can guide organisations in navigating complex risks while maintaining trust and accountability.
In The Honest Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone—Especially Ourselves, Dan Ariely explores the psychological and environmental factors that drive people to behave dishonestly. Drawing on experiments and real-world examples, Ariely challenges conventional notions that dishonesty stems from a cost-benefit analysis of potential gain versus risk. Instead, he demonstrates that dishonesty is a complex, often subconscious process shaped by human psychology and situational influences.
