法人因违法而受到处罚的为数甚多。尤其是那些较大的法人实施的违法行为数量惊人,这些违法行为总的来看不能只归因于经济压力或这些法人的商业特点。违法的法人与守法的法人的区别根本就在于“法人文化”或其道德风气。有些企业是与有利于促成不道德或非法行为的“企业文化”融为一体,因而违法行为更易于发生在这些企业中。 Legal persons are punished by law for many times. In particular, the larger number of offenses carried out by larger corporations are alarming and these offenses can not generally be attributed solely to economic pressure or the commercial character of these corporations. The difference between an illegal legal entity and a law-abiding legal entity lies essentially in “corporate culture” or its ethos. Some businesses are integrated with a “corporate culture” that facilitates unethical or illegal conduct, and thus violations are more likely to occur in these enterprises.
