Values, Nature, and Culture in the American Corporation

Zusatztext The author's task is to explain the values that drive business, especially those individualistic, self-focused values that seem so intransigently opposed to the sustenance of a quality community life. This problem has been taken up by many other scholars in the past, but none has brought to it the grand vision, intellectual claritu, and sense-making that Frderick gives us in this work. I recommend slow, savory, intense reading to get the full benefit of what Frederick has done for us. Klappentext In Values, Nature, and Culture in the American Corporation, distinguished ethicist William C. Frederick explores issues of fundamental importance to all who aspire to conduct their business affairs ethically. He Proposes a new theory of the origin and role of business values that combines and synthesizes natural science, social science, and philosophy. Zusammenfassung This book attempts to bridge the gap between those who think businesses are overregulated and unnecessarily constrained and those who believe businesses are in need of constraint. Frederick explores issues facing managers and ways in which his book differs from conventional business ethics books.
