BUSINESS ETHICS FOR A SUSTAINABLE SOCIETY Conquering the Corporate Frankenstein

“. . . a ‘casebook’ of an original nature, [this work] blends business experience with a solid creed in the dysfunction of the current neo-liberal system, illustrating the author’s conviction with real cases that make his message easier to understand and to transfer.” – Prof. Henri-Claude de Bettignies, INSEAD

“The book is brilliant, witty and enlightening, sometimes even provocative, and with captivating examples of case studies and analyses of literature, history and economics in business, it illustrates the different concepts and themes to the reader in a fluent, accessible and compelling language.” – Zeev Nahari, Bank Leumi

“. . . will enable one to challenge the common thought on the objectives of economic organizations in society . . . Ideally, this knowledge and discussion may bring about a change in the way that junior & senior managers operate in business and society.” – Prof. Itzhak Saporta, Tel Aviv University
