Business Ethics: A Jewish Perspective (Library of Jewish Law & Ethics). This item is unavailable.Business Ethics: A Jewish Perspective (Library of Jewish Law & Ethics)

This book is among the first to integrate the best of modern business thought with traditional Jewish values. It is of interest to business leaders, academics, and students interested in understanding the moral foundations of business. The emphasis is on introducing and interpreting classical Jewish texts in light of the contemporary situation.

In the twenty-first volume of the Yeshiva University/ KTAV Library of Jewish Law and Ethics, a Yeshiva University professor explains the relevance and applicability of Judaism's religious law and moral vision to the realities of the businessperson's practical life. Pava divides the book into three parts. Part 1 discusses why people often fail at business ethics and how they might succeed. Part 2 discusses the goals, substance, and method of Jewish business ethics. Part 3 examines corporate social responsibility and the use of inside information. Pava interprets classical Jewish writings in light of our contemporary business world. In a society where ethics seems to be a concept of the past, businessmen and businesswomen, Jews and non-Jews alike, could benefit from Pava's keen insights and practical approach. George Cohen
