Activist business ethics is needed in order to remedy the wrongdoing  committed to stakeholders and minority shareholders. This will be  achieved by cooperation between ethical businessmen, activist  academics, stakeholders and minority shareholders. \u003cbr\u003e  We should treat others as we would want others to treat us, not  through interest, but by conviction. Yet this principle is not the  guideline of many companies in the modern business world, despite the  fact that most religions and philosophers have advocated it in the  last 3,000 years. How can we convince or compel modern business to  apply this principle? And is it essential to the success of economy?  In order to answer these questions this book examines the evolution of  activist business ethics in business, in democracies, in Christianity,  Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, in philosophy and psychology. \u003cbr\u003e  The book examines international aspects, the personification of  stakeholders, the predominance of values and ethics for CEOs and the  inefficient safeguards of the stakeholders' interests. The book  presents new vehicles for the safeguard of those interests, such as  the Internet, Transparency, Ethical Funds and Activist Associations,  and future activist vehicles, such as the Supervision Board and the  Institute of Ethics. \u003cbr\u003e  Today everybody is a stakeholder and a minority shareholder of a  company, directly or through our pension funds, or as a client, a  supplier, a member of a community and a citizen. The principal premise  of the book is, therefore, that ultimately the wrongdoers act against  themselves. The book is woven with many references on ethics and  business ethics from the professional and classic world literature,  the Bibleand other religious texts, poetry, maxims, and folk tales;  showing that ethical problems are similar throughout the ages and  cultures, but some of the solutions given in this book are new and  original. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eActivist Business Ethics\u003c\/em\u003e is primarily intended for the academic  market and is particularly appropriate for academics in business  administration, ethics and finance. It should also appeal strongly to  the professional business\/finance market, and to stakeholders and  minority shareholders as well, who are aware of the wrongdoing  committed to them and who want to remedy the situation by activist  conduct.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-09-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461346647\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4419-8672-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 200\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341368750220,"sku":"9781461346647","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461346647.jpg?v=1770819019","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461346647","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
