Enlightened Entrepreneurs: Business ethics in Victorian Britain - Softcover
Business ethics are high on the corporate agenda today. Companies are judged not only on the size of their profits but also on the way that they treat their workers and the impact they have on the environment and the community. Ian Bradley tells the story of ten remarkable Victorian industrialists who pursued the twin goals of commercial success and social responsibility so successfully that we continue to benefit from their enterprise and enlightenment today. The businesses which they created 150 or so years ago are for the most part still thriving and include some of the best known companies currently operating in the UK and beyond, companies such as Cadbury, Rowntrees, Colmans, Boots and Unilever.
