Kann Business an sich moralisch gut und gottgefällig sein? Manchmal erscheint Business so zwielichtig - Endergebnisse werden manipuliert, Verbraucher werden getäuscht, oder jemand wird befördert, nur weil er Beziehungen hat. Wayne Grudem stellt ein neues Konzept vor: Business selbst verherrlicht Gott, wenn es auf eine Weise betrieben wird, die Gottes Charakter und Schöpfung nachahmt. Er zeigt, dass alle Aspekte des Business, einschließlich der Themen Eigentum, Gewinn, Geld, Wettbewerb sowie Kreditaufnahme und -vergabe, Gott verherrlichen, weil sie Gottes Wesen widerspiegeln.

All too often we are presented stories about extremely wealthy people who are held up as role models for a successful life. The truth is that wealth rarely guarantees happiness. This book looks to successful small and medium-sized companies contributing to communities, and the far-sighted corporate executives we never hear about who, while successful, are also happy.

Peter Milewski tells you why and how you, personally, can feel good and do well by doing good too.

The growing wealth inequality continues to dominate headlines. The divide between the haves and have nots in America is increasingly political and tensions are rising.

In the past decades, work has changed dramatically. Yet we are still sent into the new world of work with old, outdated tools, expectations, and strategies.
