Sociology
Robert Jackall is a sociologist and professor at Williams College, known for his ethnographic research on corporate culture and bureaucracy.
His work on "Moral Mazes" is based on extensive fieldwork in large corporations during the 1980s.
Jackall's approach is similar to that of an anthropologist studying an unfamiliar society, providing an outsider's perspective on corporate practices.
Beyond his corporate research, Jackall has also conducted fieldwork with New York City police detectives and prosecutors, earning him the nickname "The Professor" among law enforcement.
His work combines academic rigor with real-world observations to illuminate the social dynamics of various institutions.
