'A New Spirit in Business is not a sober 'scientific treatise, ' but rather an account of a consciousness change through which the new concepts we so badly need come to light. Their book is both informative and autobiographical-and it is a revelation.I can promise that [reading] this book will be an experience that could change the reader's life."-Ervin Laszlo In the world of business and finance, everything revolves around the economy. But what does the economy revolve around? Journalist Martina Köhler and Swiss entrepreneur Hans Jecklin try to answer this question with the insightful A New Spirit in Business. Whereas several books have been written on companies' social responsibility, stakeholder strategy, and corporate ethics, Köhler and Jecklin tackle it from a different perspective-a human one. By elaborating on the essential features of an integral economy and how to deal with abundance in life, Köhler and Jecklin show how the spiritual and economic sides of business complement each other. Using examples from everyday life, dialogues, and exercises, the relationship between money and spirit takes an innovative shape.

Geschwindigkeit hat schon seit eh und je eine entscheidende Rolle im Geschäftsleben gespielt. Das Bessere ist des Guten Feind. Wer zuerst kommt, mahlt zuerst. Es ist daher tägliche Routine, den Faktor Ge schwindigkeit allem Denken und Handeln im Wirtschafts geschehen zu grunde zu legen. Wenn jetzt jedoch Geschwindigkeit gezielt zum Gegenstand des Manage ments gemacht wird, so hat das mehrere Beweggründe: - Durch das Zusammenwachsen der Märkte werden regionale Standort vorteile hinfällig, ein globales Handeln verlangt ein größeres interna tionales Tempo. Die Innovationszeiten nehmen ab, immer mehr Umsatz wird heute mit Produkten gemacht, die es gestern noch nicht in dieser Weise gab. M...
Although culture is what gives companies the ability to survive, it is often addressed only after problems have emerged. While it is true that corporate culture cannot be put into numbers, it can be visualized and modeled using the author's Culture Map. The values underlying all corporate cultures are represented in seven colors which combine to form individual patterns. The Culture Map can be used as a basis for successful change and innovation processes, mergers, and integrations. When managers and employees see where they are trying to go, it enables them to take the appropriate decisions and actions. "This is the perfect (work-)book for those who want to know what makes their organization tick and who want to actively sculpt its success." Carina Kontio, Handelsblatt "An extensive introduction to the topic of corporate culture with vivid case studies and graphics. Very attractive design and great visual transfer." acquisa
Stakeholder participation in economic development is generally considered to be a good thing. However, questions remain: Does stakeholder participation live up to the high expectations about it in the literature? How can success be measured? What are suitable criteria and indicators? How do the involved stakeholders themselves judge the outcomes of their involvement? What can be done to improve the performance of stakeholder participation? Which structural factors impede stakeholder participation? This study addresses questions such as these with respect to methodology, case studies, and policy implications.
