Too often, the stories of corporate scandals are narrated like Hollywood movies in which once-celebrated CEOs are unmasked as sociopaths and ultimately convicted for their crimes. What we fail to realize, however, is that most bad things are done by average people with honorable values and without bad intentions.
In The Dark Pattern, two experts in business ethics and decision-making challenge the conventional view that corporate misconduct happens because of a handful of bad actors. Instead, the book shows how entire organizations can fall off the moral cliff because good people become ethically blind.
Drawing on the latest insights from behavioral science, the authors identify nine toxic elements that lead to corporate scandals and offer nine actionable lessons for building morally resilient organizations. Essential reading for business leaders, The Dark Pattern offers real-world guidance for defending companies against the subtle dynamics of moral erosion.

"Finally, a book that brings corporate ethics to life! For executives who have endured mind-numbing compliance training, Guido Palazzo and Ulrich Hoffrage offer a refreshingly engaging approach. Through gripping narratives of real-world corporate failures—like the Boeing 737 MAX tragedy and Volkswagen’s Dieselgate—combined with sharp academic insights, this book redefines ethical leadership. A must-read for anyone seeking to move beyond rules and regulations to foster a truly ethical corporate culture."Thomas J. Donaldson, Mark O. Winkelman Professor of Legal Studies & Business Ethics, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
