Beschreibung:
Charles Handy wurde 1932 in Irland geboren. 1972 wurde er Professor an der Business School in London. Der Experte für Arbeitsethik war Chairman der Londoner Royal Society of Arts (1987-1989) und erhielt zahlreiche Ehrendoktorwürden. Seit Jahren rangiert er auf den Listen der bedeutendsten Managementgurus unter den Top Ten.
With his characteristically very personal anecdotal style, Charles Handy analyses how materialistic capitalism is self-limiting, how efficiency may be the enemy of a cohesive society, and examines the false certainties of science and religion. Offering a carefully considered and compelling alternative vision, the book challenges the status quo on everything from capitalism and organization to goal-setting and morality. With nods to Kant, Keynes, Sartre and DruckerThe Hungry Spirit is not your usual business tome, but that, of course, is part of Handy''s plan.
