Ethical Management

📘 «Ethical Management» Forfatter: Tore Audun Høie. 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸: ➡️ Schumpeter column, The Economist: Management theory is becoming a compendium of dead ideas. Productivity growth is dismal in the West, companies are fusing at a furious rate, entrepreneurialism is stuttering, populism is on the rise and the old rules of business are being torn up. Management theories are organised around four basic ideas, repeated ad nauseam in every business book you read. Management theory is ripe for a Reformation. ➡️ Robert Locke, Professor emeritus University of Hawaii: Høie observes that traditional management education no longer reflect the concerns of the modern globalized world. The book offers an original perspective, with contributions towards research, application and policy in management studies. For example, in Chapter five, he focuses on customers as key stakeholders, in Chapter 6 on employees as stakeholders, stressing the difference between USA and Nordic management models, in Chapter 8 the emphasis is on ownership models, e.g. financial engineering and ownership as a profession, in Chapter 9 he emphasizes the role of ethics in balancing the needs of stakeholders and in the development of principles of governance vital to a firm’s sustainability, and in Chapter 10 he presents a resume of management principles derived from the book’s discussions. The book, therefore, offers a balanced and complete presentation of the subject. There are no serious omissions. ➡️ Geir Lahnstein, senior lecturer Norwegian Business School: This is an important work in Management Science. It is partly based on Nordic Management that has experienced considerable success lately. In the process it criticizes established management theories, and the book may well cause a paradigm shift. I agree with the author, and his attitude encourages me. 📘 Price: NOK 500.- Order «Ethical Management» by email: tore.hoie@vikenfiber.no Manuscript for evaluation for tuition free.
