   <dc:description>In this paper, we take an organizational view of organized crime. In 
particular, we study the organizational consequences of product 
illegality attending at the following characteristics: (i) contracts 
are not enforceable in court, (ii) all participants are subject to 
the risk of being punished, (iii) employees present a major threat 
to the entrepreneur having the most detailed knowledge concerning 
participation, (iv) separation between ownership and management is 
difficult because record-keeping and auditing augments criminal 
evidence.</dc:description>
