While it isn't his speciality, I'd give Robert Jackall (author of Moral 
Mazes) a jingle. He was more interested in the institutional or 
organizational aspects of the corporate world that lead, inevitably, to the 
Ford Pinto-like decisions that / dave / mentions. He wouldn't likely know 
the answer to your question, but I'm sure he's well connected enough to be 
able to tell you where to look and who might know more.
