description: If individual cooperation is the core of organizations, then why do people sometimes blame organizations instead of, or in addition to, the individuals in them? Through an examination of actual cases such as the pollution of the Prince William Sound, the disaster at the Love Canal, and soccer team misconduct, Raymond S. Pfeiffer offers a philosophical study in analytic pragmatism to clarify the meaning and logic of collective blame. Why Blame the Organization? attacks the myth that the nature of an organization or group is the key to understanding its moral responsibility.
