The Enron Scandal

Posted by Marc Hodak on June 4, 2007 under Scandal | Comments are off for this article

Well, my material on the Enron scandal is up on SSRN for review and critique. Warning: This is not the Enron story presented as morality tale. This is intended to provide graduate students practical information for evaluating business and regulatory policy.

Michael Jensen has been trying to open up SSRN to these kinds of materials, and encouraged me to submit this. This fully sourced material on Enron is for my “History of Scandal” class starting next Fall at NYU. I will be preparing other cases for this class in a similar format throughout the summer, including Credit Mobilier, the Erie scandal, Kreuger & Toll, etc.

This is the next evolution from a seminar I taught over the last couple of years on corporate meltdowns, taking it to the next level. I’d love to hear what people think.
