This article analyses the main factors constituting business companies and their misuse in unlawful practices. Particular attention is given to criminal acts of corporate officers. Common practices are identified. This analysis is to identify conduct of corporations, as illustrations of “scandalous” conduct. © 2004, Emerald Group Publishing Limited
