Values are becoming the defining identity of organizations.

En mærkelig lyst
En mærkelig lyst er ikke et kunstværk. Den handler heller ikke om kunstværker, så man kan tage den i hånden og bruge som vejviser i kunstens verden og blive bedre til at fremstille kunst eller betragte kunst. En mærkelig lyst er en bog om hvad kunst er. Den udkaster en filosofi om kunst, en æstetik, uanset om der er tale om litteratur eller musik, billedkunst eller dans. Tesen er, at kunst er kommunikation, som på en særlig måde benytter sig af sanselige former. En mærkelig lyst starter med at præsentere gennembruddet for den moderne æstetik hos Immanuel Kant. Derefter gennemgår den de vigtige kendemærker ved kunst: æstetisk form, æstetisk kommunikation, forholdet mellem det sansede, det imaginære og det stemte, værket, hvordan man kan skelne mellem hvad der er kunst og ikke kunst, kunstsystemet og hvordan kunsten drives fremad i stadige opgør med sig selv. En mærkelig lyst – om iagttagelse af kunst er tredje og sidste bind i en trilogi, hvor de to første bind er Nutiden – det overfyldte rum (1993) og I hinandens øjne – bidrag til en kynisk etik (1995).
The History of Thyssen
As a result of a multi-volume research project, funded by the Thyssen Foundations (Stiftung zur Industriegeschichte Thyssen and Fritz Thyssen Stiftung), ten books were published that served to greatly advance the available knowledge on the Thyssen family and their companies. The results of this project are summarized in this volume which provides both an explanation of how the project was conceptualized and executed and a detailed case study of a family and their business during the late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It explains the development of both whilst addressing issues such as patriarchal succession; gender roles in the family; wealthy lifestyles in international communities of aristocrats and diplomats; operating across national legislation, institutions, and policies; and discussions of labor and capital. In doing so it connects corporate and family history to provide an all-inclusive view of the development of a business.
Lloyd’s Register Rules and Regulations 1937-1938
Lloyd's Register has published the Rules and Regulations for the Classification of Ships, to which all Lloyd's Register classed ships must conform, since 1834. Between 1834 and 1870 the Rules were bound within the Lloyd's Register of Ships. Since 1870 they have been published separately. Today, the Lloyd's Register Rules and Regulations are still recognised as one of the most comprehensive and respected sets of standards in the maritime industry. They are still regularly updated to reflect the advances in technology and changes in regulatory requirements, and still function as a trusted companion to surveyors, shipowners, shipyards and regulatory bodies around the world.
Rational, Ethical and Spiritual Perspectives on Leadership
The author's experiences in many organizational and cultural contexts are reflected in this book's selection from his writings during the past twenty years. They portray an evolution in his mind-set - from rational to ethical to spiritual perspectives on leadership. This evolution is not just a personal matter; it reflects developments that are taking place, although usually tacitly, at the individual and corporate level throughout the world. A primary motivation underlying the development of the book is to inspire leaders as well as teachers and students of leadership to integrate their hearts, minds and souls when making decisions, and to develop the awareness and conviction that wise and successful leadership is concerned not only with effectiveness and wealth generation, but also with contributing to the well-being and fulfilment of all those whom one serves as a leader. The book is divided into six interrelated themes: Morals and Ethics; Ethical Accounting; Values and Leadership; Identity; Responsibility; and Spiritual-based Leadership.
