Abstract

THE EFFECTS OF GEOGRAPHIC OR INDUSTRY DIFFERENTIAL ASSOCIATION AND THE PERSONALITY AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCES OF THE VIOLATOR ARE ALSO TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE TO MARGINAL OR DECLINING FIRMS, PUBLICATION OF LEGALLY BINDING INTERPRETATIONS OF AMBIGUOUS LAWS, INCREASED COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MANAGEMENT AND REGULATORY AGENCIES, AND JOINT BUSINESS-GOVERNMENT EFFORTS TO PROMOTE RESPECT FOR THE LAW WOULD AID IN REDUCING THE RATE OF VIOLATION AND MINIMIZING BUSINESS-GOVERNMENT FRICTION....ELW
