Many people are fed up with cold-hearted economic rules and practices. This book offers a holistic model for economics that goes beyond the confines of conventional models. It invites us to leave behind our preconceived notions and to change our economic systems - and lives - in ways that meet human needs and aspirations.

The authors lay out a plan to tap into the full power of employee ideas and how to deal with them effectively during times of flagging profits, increasing competition, budget cuts, and layoffs.

Drawing on a wealth of experience, both in research and teaching the authors of this book have developed a text that integrates reputation, responsibility, ethics and accountability.
