Description
Book SynopsisOver the past several years a cascade of corporate scandals have erupted. Savings and provisions for retirement have shrunk drastically. Jobs have been lost.
Trade ReviewThe rancorous public debate over business ethics and corporate reform has lacked a few crucial ingredients: A genuine love for business and human enterprise, the confidence that the American corporation is 'worth saving,' a sense that it is fully worthy of our loftiest ideals and most focused energies. Gratefully, this is precisely what Peter Drucker, Max De Pree, James Baker, Michael Novak and their distinguished colleagues offer us in The Heart of A Business Ethic. -- Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business Administration, University of Southern California * From The Foreword *
