Book Description




Just Business


Book Description

To those faced with the many questions and quandaries of doing business with integrity, here is a place to beggin. Alexander Hill explores the Christian concepts of holiness, justice, and love, and shows how some common responses to business ethics fall short of these. Then, he turns to penetrating case studies on such pressing topics as employer-employee relations, discrimination, and affirmative action.







Women in Business


Book Description

[The role of women in entrepreneurship, management and corporate governance is regarded as central to the development and welfare of economies. Since the early 1980s, there has been increased interest in women managers and entrepreneurs, often from an interdisciplinary approach, combining, for example, sociology, psychology, management and organisational studies and economics. Nowadays, research on women in management and organisations is continuously and rapidly evolving (Paoloni and Demartini, 2016). Research on how women face new business challenges within organisations—as entrepreneurs, owners, managers, as well as workers—can contribute to understanding the new drivers affecting value creation dynamics in our knowledge-based society (Cesaroni, Demartini and Paoloni, 2017). Accordingly, this book tries to offer some insights on how women create, process and share knowledge in their business activity through the application and exploitation of novel creative ideas and solutions]
