Synopsis
Drawing upon the insights of Rene Girard, this book confronts the issue of finding peace in one's work, and offers practical guidance on how people, acting together, can cultivate virtuous business. The book provides ethical insights into business life, the job market and office politics, revealing that business culture, while often corrupt, can be transformed through the practice of asceticism. It suggests that instead of renouncing worldly comforts and retreating to a monastery, business asceticism embraces and masters the discomforts of business life through a disciplined and unique approach to the rigors of the competitive marketplace. The book is divided into two parts: theory and strategy. Chapters one through five deal with an approach to management theory and the behaviour of financial markets. Chapters six through ten deal with practical techniques for dealing with the jungle of office politics.For the many peopple who experience the workplace as frustrating or unfair, struggle with office politics as well as the question of whether their workday lives have any religious significance or spiritual depth, this work provides concrete suggestions for practising an ethics of survival, of success and of redemption. It aims to help today's lay Catholics know more about how canon law affects their lives.

These men clearly are intelligent and well-informed on the topic. It's not a breeze to read, but I don't think it was intended to be. Fascinating analysis of business ethics. I've read other articles by Grote, and I'd love to see McGeeney publish something else. Highly recommended.

Ethics for Business, Ethics for Life
10. November 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
Clever as Serpents is a wonderful book that elucidates the cause of human conflict. The ethical implications reach far beyond the business world. Using the insight of mimetic theory, the authors focus on the term "borrowed desire" to explain why we fall into conflict. Because we are social creatures, we influence one another in profound ways, including the objects we desire. We "borrow" the desires of others. This leads us into conflict for objects, but soon the conflict over the object turns into an intense rivalry to displace the other person. If both people are prominent, they will redirect their frustrations on someone else - a scapegoat. The authors use wonderful real life illustrations to explain this process.
What is really great about this book is that the authors provide practical suggestions to ethical problems resulting from "borrowed desire." The discussion about the meaning of success was especially helpful to me.
Clever as Serpents is inexpensive and at about 120 pages, it's a quick read. Helpful discussion questions are provided, so it would be a good book to read in a group. Highly recommended.

Let's Not Celebrate the Decline of Business Ethics
26. November 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
Not a very informative book, it's also a pretty depressing one.
One wonders who is being digged at between the pages.
Not reccomended.
