ummary
Throughout recorded history, religion and ethics have remained the primary sources of conflict in life. The 21st Century is right on track, from the war in the Middle East to sectarian violence nearly everywhere else. Hardly a day goes by without religious conflicts being in the headlines. Additionally, the news is filled with the shenanigans of Enron, WorldCom, and gas company price gouging— forcing hard questions about business ethics to the forefront of most people’s minds.
In "The Gods of Business", the author maps the intersection of faith and the marketplace. In plain language he analyzes the world's major religions—Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Secular Postmodernism, Shintoism, and Sikhism—and how their spiritual traditions impact business ethics.
"The Gods of Business" provides telling insights into the silent subtleties and the loudly proclaimed dogmas that dramatically affect global business, leaving many newcomers unaware, confused, or wishing they could just turn back the clock and deal with their hometown ways of doing things.
Its ISBN-10 is 0615138004 and its ISBN-13 is 978-061513800.
