Sommario/riassunto: | Bringing together the thoughts of scholars, looking for alternatives to the self-interest maximization so characteristic of existing corporate governance, 'Managing Responsibly' explores the limitations of the thinking that dominates Western corporate and business culture. Contributors draw on non-Western traditions and experience to suggest workable inter-cultural models that can enhance organizational effectiveness and help to avoid damage to and exploitation of communities and the environment. Chapters written by specialists in economics, management, ethics, health sciences and history ensu |
