Publisher's Synopsis
Do you have a business that fits right in with the 21st century world?
Do you also have faith and find it hard to make these two vastly different Gods to seamlessly blend?
This book seeks to help you find common ground so that both can flourish!
Religion and ethics. At the same time they are broadly followed and widely misunderstood by millions. The fact that both have been at the center of many of the world's conflicts throughout the years, and in the 40 or so that are currently being waged, suggests that we have never really managed to learn much from them, despite them being the keepers of many valuable lessons.
This book, The Gods of Business: The Intersection of Faith and the Marketplace, seeks to help you find that intersection of faith and ethics that will help you thrive and discover:
- The place of religion in business
- Why ethics should always be at the forefront of the business mind
- The structure of the main religions of the world
- How spiritual traditions impact on business ethics
- Dogmatic principles and how they fit
- Religion and the globalized business world
- And much more...
Business ethics are often at the forefront of peoples' minds, through sensational news items and some of the dodgy dealings that occasionally surface. But what is not always appreciated is the role that religion plays and why it is often essential that spiritual traditions and business ethics dovetail seamlessly.
The Gods of Business takes a provocative, eye-opening, and funny look at how this can happen, in a world where many are unfamiliar with the basic tenets of world religion and is, as the MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, writes "a 'must-have' primer for anyone unfamiliar with basic tenets of world religions in today's era of globalization."
This is the revised 4th edition.
