What are the financial and psychological costs of risky behaviour in business to the individuals concerned and their organizations? "Risky Business" provides a perspective on addictive behaviours such as gambling, drug taking and even addiction to work; criminal behaviours such as theft and corruption; and, behaviours such as aggression and violence.
