Abstract

Corporate unethical practices have triggered catastrophic consequences, from billions in financial penalties and shareholder value destruction to corporate bankruptcies, widespread job losses, and the depletion of employee retirement funds. High-profile cases like the Boeing 737 Max crashes, the Wells Fargo Fake Accounts Scandal (2016), the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica Data Scandal (2018), and the Johnson & Johnson Opioid Crisis Lawsuits (2019) —underscore the severe impact of corporate malfeasance on stakeholders’ lives. This PhD project seeks to investigate whether and in what ways recent technological advancements—specifically the corporate integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI)—can influence corporate misconduct. The research will focus on how these innovations can enhance transparency, accountability, and governance to reduce unethical practices and safeguard stakeholder interests.
