Values at Work is an analysis of organizational dynamics with wide-ranging implications in an age of market globalization. It looks at the challenges businesses face to maintain people-oriented work systems while remaining successful in the larger economy. George Cheney revisits the famous Mondragón worker-owned-and-governed cooperatives in the Basque Country of Spain to examine how that collection of innovative and democratic businesses is responding to the broad trend of "marketization."The Mondragón cooperatives are changing in important ways as a direct result of both external pressures to be more competitive and the rise of consumerism, as well as through the modification of internal policies toward greater efficiency. One of the most remarkable aspects of the changes is that some of the same business slogans now heard around the globe are being adopted in this set of organizations renowned for its strongly held internal values, such as participatory democracy, solidarity, and equality. Instead of emphasizing the special or unique qualities of the Mondragón experience, this book demonstrates the case's relevance to trends in all sectors and across the industrialized world.

Pastors, missionary teams and others will go to the most dangerous and poorest parts of any American city to save souls and share the word of Jesus Christ. Those that do, should be admired because they face danger, rejection and the heartbreak of seeing the pain and suffering of the poor and forgotten. There are others who work in hospitals and nursing homes, areas where their work is also greatly needed. When we travel to those other ministry locations, we pass hundreds if not thousands of small to large business's that are filled with potential believers who are also worthy of our ministry efforts. "Doing Business with John" is an organizational and business blueprint for success that details the story of how Jesus built His church ministry. Review Highlights:I recently read a GREAT book, "Doing Business with John" by E.L. Parker. According to the lessons in this book, the one business management skill you need most is integrity. Although some may say integrity is a personal attribute, it is also the foundation of building and operating a successful business.....and showing integrity in every decision is indeed a business management skill. Throughout this book, the author describes the Book of John from the New Testament and business building lessons that Jesus models.Karen Wolff of Christian-books-for-women.comIs it possible to start and run a business that has Christian integrity? Is it possible for a business to thrive and grow, without stooping down to the level of immorality where more and more companies are headed? Do businessmen need the same type of ministry that laymen need? Do businessmen really need God? How does a businessman run a business and relate to his employees in a way that s pleasing to God? Doing Business with John, was written in an attempt to answer these questions. E.L. Parker, author of Doing Business with John, has allegorically taken principals from Jesus interaction with His disciples, in the book of John, and applied them to the business world. Mr. Parker takes us through the many facets of Jesus ministry, from choosing each disciple, training them, encouraging and motivation them, to preparing them to continue on in ministry once He left earth. E.L. Parker walks us through each step that Jesus took, helps us understand some of the how and why of what Jesus did, and then relates it to something similar in the business world. Mr. Parker speaks humbly, giving not only personal experience, but also giving brief testimony of successful businessmen who ve started/run their businesses with God s principals, instead of the worlds. He shows us how God has lead these men in each step of their business, from advertising, to employee relationships, to having a high quality product, etc. He also gives examples of how God has richly blessed the businesses who have upheld Christian integrity, and how many of them are well-known and still growing today.

Enron, WorldCom, Global Crossing-the mere mention of these companies brings forth images of scandal, fraud, and large-scale corruption. But do these dark stars of media stories represent a few "bad apples" or does their misconduct provide evidence of a regulatory black hole in the so-called New Economy? In Pump and Dump: The Rancid Rules of the New Economy, Robert H. Tillman and Michael L. Indergaard argue that these scandals are symptoms of a corporate governance problem that began in the 1990s as New Economy pundits claimed that advances in technology and forms of business organization were changing the rules. A decade later, it looked more like a case of no rules. Endless revelations of fraud in the wake of corporate bankruptcies left ordinary investors bewildered and employees out of work with little or nothing. Tillman and Indergaard observe that victims were taken in by organized behavior that calls to mind "pump and dump" schemes where shadowy swindlers push penny stocks. Yet, in the 1990s it was high-profile firms and high-status accomplices (financial analysts, bankers, and accountants) who used powerful institutional levers to pump the value of stock-duping investors while insiders sold their holdings for fantastic profits before the crash. The authors explain how it was that so much of corporate America came to resemble a two-bit securities scam by focusing on the rules that mattered in three critical industries-energy trading, telecommunications, and dot-coms. Free-market hype and policies at the national level set the tone. While Wall Street wrapped itself in star-spangled packaging and celebrated its purported "democratization," in the real halls of democracy congressional allies of business gutted protections for ordinary investors. In the regulatory vacuum that resulted, business professionals who were supposed to watch corporations instead promoted New Economy doctrines and worked with executives to tout their firms as New Economy contenders. Ringleaders in the inner circles that committed fraud made their own rules, which they enforced through a mix of bribery and bullying. At a time when there is growing debate about proposals to privatize programs like Social Security and to promote an "ownership society," Pump and Dump offers a path-breaking analysis of America's most urgent economic problem: a system that relies on self-regulation and the rancid politics that continue to support the short-term interests of financial elites over the long-term interests of most Americans.

The imperative of the twenty-first century is sustainability: to raise the living standards of the world's poor and to achieve and maintain high levels of social health among the affluent nations while simultaneously reducing and reversing the environmental damage wrought by human activity. Scholars and practitioners are making progress toward environmental and economic sustainability, but we have very little understanding of the social dimension of sustainability. This volume is an ambitious, multi-disciplinary effort to identify the key elements of social sustainability through an examination of what motivates its pursuit and the conditions that promote or detract from its achievement. Included are theoretical and empirical pieces; examination of international and local efforts; discussions highlighting experiences in both the developing and industrialized nations; and a substantial focus on business practices. Contributors are grounded in sociology, economics, business administration, public administration, public health, geography, education and natural resource management.
