内容説明

This text examines the causes of wide-scale technological disasters. The author states that these can be prevented, but also warns of the rise of "techno-organization" and the trend to blame disasters on the complexity of technological systems. The book attempts to answer the questions of how to appropriately design risky technical systems and how to manage them safely. It stresses the place of moral responsibility in corporations and its importance for forming a corporate ethos. The book further explores the useful lessons that can be learned from the Japanese management system and investigates four major diasters: the Challenger disaster; the King's Cross disaster; the "Herald of Free Enterprise" disaster; and the disaster on Mount Erebas.
