The ethical issues facing business managers are explored. 330 $bIn Values, Nature, and Culture in the American Corporation, distinguished ethicist William Frederick explores issues of fundamental importance to all who aspire to conduct their business affairs ethically. He begins with an examination of the three value systems in business that are basically incompatible, and therefore in constant tension. The first is the need for managers to efficiently allocate resources for maximum profits. The second is the natural tendency for managers, in pursuit of the first goal, to accumulate power for its own sake. The third is the desire for people in the community to create relationships that will perpetuate these communities. Frederick brings in a range of ideas and concepts from the social sciences as well as the natural sciences to illuminate his discussion. In the final section of the book he explores a range of issues of current concern to managers, including corporate culture and technology. 410 0$aRuffin series in business ethics. 606 $aCorporate culture$zUnited States 606 $aBusiness ethics$zUnited States 606 $aSocial responsibility of business$zUnited States 615 0$aCorporate culture 615 0$aBusiness ethics 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business 676 $a302.3/5 700 $aFrederick$b William C.$f1925-$01572191 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783360503321 996 $aValues, nature, and culture in the American corporation$93846909 997 $aUNINA
