Inhaltsangabe

The future is not predictable. In political and economic terms, we are in unknown territory. This book redefines the nature of modern business. In contrast to recent trends, it has a focus on human-centred manufacturing, and on decision-making which goes beyond a focus on short-term profit. The Liberal Capitalism of the USA and UK is not the only current variety of capitalism. Business is not just about managers, but requires participation and engagement by workers. This pulls together current research and practice, and poses new questions, based on cases. The world has always been unpredictable, but we had allowed ourselves to be comforted by convenient myths. It is time to wake up.
