A framework for organizational compliance management tactics

Abstract

Organizational compliance with laws, industrial standards, procedures and enterprise architectures has become a highly relevant topic for both practitio ners and academics. However, both the fundamental insights into compliance as a concept and the tactics for bringing an organization into a compliant state have been described in a fragmented manner. Using literature from various disciplines, this paper presents two contributions. First, it describes the fundamental concepts regarding compliance. Second, it presents a framework in which the various tactics for achieving organizational compliance can be positioned. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
