This book is not primarily about calling into question the foundations of
economic theory and the theory of business, which is closely related to it.
Rather, it aims to draw attention to the hazardous yet mostly unheeded side
effects of the theory of business. The extremely questionable conceptions of
value which the theory of business is implicitly founded on are the starting
point of these considerations
This book discusses serious weak points in the traditional teaching of
business studies. In particular, its implicit basic assumptions are
systematically exposed and taken as an opportunity to counter the
subliminal brutalisation of business and society.
This book is conceived as a structured guide for current and future
managers. In this book you will find a theoretical structure that you
can use to develop your own ethically based style of management.
The advice and case studies in the book show you how to strengthen
your managing on an ethical basis.
The book will help you to reclassify common management concepts
such as quality management, knowledge management and agility
according to an ethical basis.
