First sentence: If business ethics conjures up an image of an ever-growing and more inventive list of "thou shalts" and "thou shalt nots," it is because the business ethics movement has often been misunderstood.
Description: "Business is not just about power and profits. It is also an arena where people interpret the meanings of their lives. Pava argues that organizations can satisfy not only basic human needs, but high level human aspirations as well. His book is meant to help us recognize the central role of business in our culture and to think systematically about the ethics inextricably entwined in that role."--BOOK JACKET.
