Integrity in Organizations

•Edited by: W. Amann & A. Stachowicz-Stanusch

A Palgrave Macmillan Publication from the Humanism in Business Series.

Integrity in Organizations moves beyond the normative call for more humanistic management in the aftermath of a series of corporate scandals, recent financial crisis as well as increasingly questioned blind fellowship of one-dimensional profit maximization as the sole compass for companies. It sheds light on how we can actually build more humanistic organizations with the help of integrity.

Banking with Integrity tells the stories of banks which were doing well during the financial crisis of 2007-2010.

Humanism in Business

•Edited by: H. Spitzeck, M. Pirson, W. Amann, S. Khan & E. v. Kimakowitz

A Cambridge University Press Publication

What is the purpose of our economic system? What would a more life-serving economy look like? There are many books about business and society, yet very few of them question the primacy of GDP growth, profit maximization and individual utility maximization. Humanism in Business questions these assumptions and investigates the possibility of creating a human-centered, value-oriented economy based on humanistic principles.
