The Ethical Business Book

by Sarah Duncan

Published 24 October 2019
The burgeoning array of literature on ethical behaviour tends to focus on what's happening at the extremes - either owner managers of start-ups built around a strong moral crusade, or large corporations undergoing change due to the personal epiphany of a forward-thinking CEO.



This book, however, is directed at the middle ground - individuals who want their companies to adopt more thoughtful practices, but don't know where to start. The 50 ideas and techniques provide direction to help society and the planet, whilst still preserving the traditional bottom line - proving that doing good and making money are not incompatible.

All businesses today face increasing pressure from customers and legislation to improve their sustainability credentials. Moreover, companies' employees and shareholders are demanding the same. Yet, many companies are playing catch-up and urgently need to get on track for the future. This book explains how companies - small or large - can do that in a series of practical stages.



The authors adopt a method that asks a series of questions that then require brutally honest answers to, that then go on to develop guaranteed actions for companies to implement. For any business owner or manager who realize the importance of running a sustainable business, but do not know where to start, this book provides an essential springboard. It all adds up to a roadmap towards the next decade - and for businesses to remain relevant and resilient.

SOLVE ANY PROBLEM USING VISUAL THINKING This book is a classic. The author has spent a decade collecting the world’s most helpful diagrams, and here is the result. Over 100,000 copies and 15 translations later, this 10th anniversary edition contains 100 diagrams, 50 of them new from the original.

 

Cross-referenced by the most common use occasions, this is a reference book that no one who makes presentations should be without. Save yourself thousands of wasted hours generating endless charts and instead cut to the chase with one or two carefully selected diagrams. Truly a triumph of visual thinking, this is the author’s gift to the world.
