About this book
This book discusses the possibility of corporate professionals—specifically accountants, bankers, and financiers—being influenced by the seventh art, i.e. cinema, and acting out fraudulent actions depicted in the cinematic world in the real life situations.
It is widely known that real world scenarios influence cinema. Through a field study, this book evaluates if there is a reciprocal effect on events in the real world being impacted by scenarios depicted in movies. A questionnaire was designed in order to understand the perception of business ethics among above-mentioned professionals and if such a perception was formed or influenced due to observed behaviors from movies.
The book concludes with an assessment of the power of visual art in affecting real world behaviors and outlines strategies for recognizing and preventing such behaviors leading to unethical conduct and corporate irresponsibility.
