Business Ethics 3.0 | The New Integral Ethics from the Perspective of a CEO. This item is unavailable.Business Ethics 3.0 | The New Integral Ethics from the Perspective of a CEO

The reputation of business managers is declining due to their disregard for moral decisions and ethical practices. Business students are currently taught only technical knowledge without concern for being compassionately and holistic engaged. However, when entering the business sector these graduates encounter a world which necessitates difficult, personally challenging decisions, ones for which technical knowledge is insufficient.

Successful, sustainable resolutions can only be expected to result from a holistic, sustainable approach which accommodates the difficulty in balancing ethical practices with the demands for ever-increasing profits.

This unique graduate textbook addresses the issue of business ethics from the perspective of an individual’s internal growth facilitated by a consideration of the principles of depth psychology, spiritual wisdom, meditation, and quantum physics, written by a CEO with an enormous business background.

It not only promotes a new ethical approach, but also addresses the implementation of this new approach in the most important business sectors as a replacement for previous ineffective codes of conduct which have failed.

It’s a must read for business students with aspirations of becoming managers or entrepreneurs in the economic sector as well as for all young professionals, managers and entrepreneurs to improve their ethical performance and sustainable success.

Message from the author

This book creates an impetus for change in a business world where unethical practices are rampant by providing a suggested a New Integral Ethics for the economy, an ethical approach based upon inner psychological and spiritual development arising from a serious consideration of Depth Psychology.

Readers will learn how adoption of specific Practices, which lead to inner growth and spiritual maturity, will result in ethical, morally sound business practices not because they are mandated, but because once the SELF is actualized, you cannot do otherwise. Laws, appeals and directives which have never successfully resulted in ethical practices become unnecessary, replaced by intrinsically ethical individuals who collectively influence corporate ethical behaviour. This is a giant leap into a new dimension in our globalized, digitized economy.

"Business Ethics 3.0, by Erhard Meyer-Galow provides a much needed beacon of light to a segment of our society that seem to be sinking deeper and deeper into darkness. The term "business ethics", once an important topic within the business community, has slowly descended through the fog of profitable ends justifying unprincipled means to become nothing more than a self-contradictory oxymoron -- especially among large international corporations. In Business Ethics 3.0, Erhard Meyer-Galow has taken a fresh approach that appeals to individual personal growth rather than the usual proffering of academic arguments that are not implementable in the real world of relentless Machiavellian competition. Only through raising and improving individual awareness and responsibility can real long-term change have a chance of developing. Business Ethics 3.0 is on the right track with a positive and compelling message…may it succeed where the academics have failed."

Born in 1942 in Frankfurt/Main Professor Dr. Erhard Meyer-Galow studied chemistry, followed by a successful business career in top management positions as the CEO of multi-national corporations including H†LS AG, STINNES AG and BRENNTAG AG and as an Executive Director of the Board of VEBA AG (now EON AG).

He is Manager, Author, Speaker, Founder, Sponsor and Trustee.

In 1978 during a serious life crisis Erhard began ZEN-Meditation, which he continues to this day. During the past ten years he has complemented his inner growth through a study in Depth Psychology and an exploration of the empirical revelations resulting from studies in Quantum Physics.

During his years as a business leader he was committed to a responsible and sustainable leadership style, one encouraged by the appeal of his friend Hans-Peter DŸrr to ÒMake Living more LivelyÓ.

Rather than choosing the seclusion of a monastery Erhard chose to work in the marketplace so as to not only preach ethical business practices but to demonstrate them in practice. Business managers listen to him due to his extensive business experience and unerring ability to connect with their issues. His sustainable leadership style draws heavily upon various spiritual sources in addition to knowledge gained from Depth Psychology.

He is the founder of the MEYER-GALOW-FOUNDATION FOR BUSINESS-CHEMISTRY, which awards the annual MEYER-GALOW-PRIZE FOR BUSNINESS CHEMISTRY for outstanding sustainable innovations.

He was also honoured to be the recipient of The German Federal Cross of Merit in 1998, for his excellent achievements in business, science and education.

He is the author of the book ÒLIVING IN THE GOLDEN WINDÓ, Frieling-Verlag, www.thegoldenwind.net
