The paper seeks to explore the trigger points that led to the violation of ethics in the case of Enron. It also considers what could have been done in terms of interventions into organisational development to prevent the disaster. The discussion will rely on the widely acknowledged assumption that the behaviour is culturally determined (Hellriegel et al, 1998, Schein, 1970, Spector, 2003). At first, the paper will explore the way the business environment and the organisational culture might have influenced the decision making of the organisations managerial team. Then it will propose various measures that could have created certain resistance both on individual and collective levels against fraudulent behaviour.
