Recensione:

"If you want to be inspired how to make a buck without selling out, you must read this book. Batstone shows us how to put values at the core of a profitable enterprise." Ben Cohen, cofounder, Ben & Jerry′s Ice Cream

"Corporations do have souls and they can be saved. What′s more, saving them is important for society, good for the economy, and even profitable for the corporation themselves. Every corporate executive should read this book as a first step toward redemption." Robert B. Reich, former U.S. Secretary of Labor, Professor of Social and Economic Policy and Economic Policy at Brandeis University

"The nation′s foremost expert on ethics." USA Weekend

"Saving the Corporate Soul is a thought–provoking look at what is ailing corporations, probing deeply the factors leading to the current crisis. If corporations act on Batstone′s eight principles, they can restore integrity and authenticity to their organizations." Bill George, former chair and CEO of Medtronic, Inc.

"With easy–reading eloquence, David Batstone convi ncingly contends that stripping corporate morality away from personal morality ultimately corrupts both. His creative corporate soul metaphor is an evocative reminder that values underlie everything, that ′every action a corporation takes [is] a statement about what it stand for.′" John Carver, author, Boards That Make a Difference
