Robert Jackall takes the reader inside a topsy-turvy world where hard work does not necessarily lead to success, but sharp talk, self-promotion, powerful patrons, and sheer luck might. What sort of everyday rules-in-use do people play by when there are no fixed standards to explain why some succeed and others fail? In the words of one corporate manager, those rules boil down to this maxim: ¨What is right in the corporation is what the guy above you wants from you. That's what morality is in the corporation.¨ This brilliant, disturbing, funny look at the ethos of the corporate world presents compelling real life stories of the men and women charged with running the businesses of America. This anniversary edition includes an afterword by the author linking the themes of Moral Mazes to the financial tsunami that engulfed the world economy in 2008.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 157mmItem Width: 21mmAuthor: Robert JackallGenre: Business & FinanceTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesItem Weight: 454gRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
