A Better Way to Think About Business: How Values Become Virtues by Robert C. Sol

Description: A Better Way to Think About Business by Robert C. Solomon Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A book on business ethics for managers which covers: the idea that how we perceive and think about organisations we work for is a major factor in the framing and atmosphere of those organisations; the corporation as a community rather than formalistic entity; the various business virtues and vices and their role in the daily practice of business. Publisher Description Is business ethics a contradiction in terms? Absolutely not, says Robert Solomon. In fact, he maintains that sound ethics is a necessary precondition of any long-term business enterprise, and that excellence in business must exist on the foundation of values that most of us hold dear. Drawing on twenty years of experience consulting with major corporations on ethics, Solomon clarifies the difficult ethical choices all people in business face. He usesan "Aristotelian" approach to remind readers that a corporation--like an individual--is embedded in a community, and that corporate values such as fairness and honesty are meaningless until transformedinto action. Without a base of shared values, trust and mutual benefits, todays national and international business world would fall apart. In keeping with his conviction that virtue and profit must thrive together, Solomon both examines the ways in which deficient values actually destroy businesses, and debunks the pervasive myths that encourage unethical business practices. Complete with a working catalog of virtues designed to illustrate the importance of integrity in anybusiness situation, this compelling handbook contains a gold mine of wisdom for either the small business manager or the corporate executive struggling with ethical issues.
