Rethinking Business Management
The result of a 2007 STI Experts Meeting with the Witherspoon Institute, Profit, Prudence and Virtue is the updated edition of another STI publication, Rethinking Business Management. Now republished by Imprint Academic, this volume includes, in addition to the essays in the earlier book, a preface by Professor John Haldane of the University of St. Andrews, as well as newly commissioned essays that address the financial crisis specifically.
Business education is frequently treated as a science unto itself, bolstered by fixed laws of economics and technological advances. This work argues throughout that business is instead a person-centered, human activity, which thus requires perspectives from ethics, anthropology, philosophy, and other humanities for its proper study.
To that end, philosophers and practitioners consider here the issues involved in the ethical conduct of profitable business.
Aiming to build on our understanding of the current state of business management, the volume offers suggestions for improvement in business instruction, in management and in practice.
