By seizing the opportunity to address some of the nation's-and the world's-most serious problems, business can strengthen its reputation for integrity and service and advance to a new stage of ethical legitimacy. Daniel Yankelovich, a social scientist and an experienced member of the corporate boardroom, describes the toxic convergence of cultural and business trends that has led inexorably to corporate scandals. Yet he offers reassurance that opportunity exists for positive change. Creative business leaders can advance market capitalism to its next stage of evolution, building upon business norms that simultaneously emphasize the legitimacy of profit making and the importance of the care that companies give to employees, customers, and the larger society.The book asserts that American culture has abandoned its old tradition of enlightened self-interest, of "doing well by doing good." A narrow legalism has taken over ("I didn't break the law; therefore I didn't do anything wrong"). Yankelovich argues that attempts to deal with such flawed ethical norms by means of more laws and regulations cannot succeed. He offers a series of case histories to show how and why stewardship ethics can strengthen individuals, corporations, the nation, and the world economy. 606 $aCapitalism$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aBusiness ethics 606 $aSocial responsibility of business 615 0$aCapitalism$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aBusiness ethics. 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business. 676 $a174/.4 700 $aYankelovich$b Daniel$0526750 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818084203321 996 $aProfit with honor$93912952 997 $aUNINA
