Epilogue-Ethical Leadership. 330 $aThe author of this book asserts that an absence of ethical leadership and unethical practices were the reasons for major global business scandals such as Enron, Satyam, Lehman Brothers, and WorldCom. This book analyses the causes for these unethical activities and interprets important verses from The Bhagavad Gita to show business executives and leaders how to lead ethically for the greater good of all stakeholders and society. As a remedy to avoid future scandals, the author points to several ethical directions, and the principle of Dharma, mentioned in The Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna, a major deity in Hinduism, who is considered Dharm?tman (one who imbibes the Dharma). Written in conversation style using an executive education scenario, this book examines real world cases in various sectors like education, medical, non-government organizations (NGOs) and retail using the directions of the Dharm?tman. 410 0$aManagement, Change, Strategy and Positive Leadership,$x2662-3080 606 $aBusiness ethics$xReligious aspects 615 0$aBusiness ethics$xReligious aspects. 676 $a294.5924 700 $aRao$b Pulapa Subba$0883090 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427055603321 996 $aBusiness ethics and the Bhagavad Gita$91972595 997 $aUNINA
