What the paper says

This case study focuses on the ethical challenges and white-collar crimes involving two senior bank executives, referred to here as Mr. North and Mr. Holck, within the context of the financial industry. Through a qualitative research approach, including interviews and court records, the study explores the circumstances leading up to their legal convictions while preserving their anonymity. Both cases highlight critical decisions on nonperforming loans faced by the executives that had significant ethical, legal, and operational repercussions for their banks and their own careers. The study aims to provide insights into the complexities of ethical decision-making in high-stakes banking environments. Relevant theories include behavioral ethics, moral disengagement theory, and groupthink theory.
