Integrity in Organizations Building the Foundations for Humanistic Management

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. The authors shed light on leadership, governance, personal development and further implementation issues when companies aim for more humanism in business and management. Various international case studies illustrate the presented frameworks and presented recommendations.
