Business Ethics and The Bhagavad Gita

The author of this book asserts that an absence of ethical leadership and unethical practices were the reasons for major global business scandals such as Enron, Satyam, Lehman Brothers, and WorldCom. This book analyses the causes for these unethical activities and interprets important verses from <i>The Bhagavad Gita</i> to show business executives and leaders how to lead ethically for the greater good of all stakeholders and society. As a remedy to avoid future scandals, the author points to several ethical directions, and the principle of <i>Dharma</i>, mentioned in <i>The</i> <i>Bhagavad Gita</i> by Lord Krishna, a major deity in Hinduism, who is considered <i>Dharmātman </i>(one who imbibes the Dharma). Written in conversation style using an executive education scenario, this book examines real world cases in various sectors like education, medical, non-government organizations (NGOs) and retail using the directions of the <i>Dharmātman</i>.
