The Truth can be known with Theanthropic Ethics, which is one of the few scientific ethical categories. Dr. Brian Keen has researched numerous ethical categories, and has found only Theanthropic Ethics understands that there is one universally applicable Truth. The Truth has practical application in every enterprise, business, or profession. Any business, enterprise, or profession operating in an ethical manner will have the necessary POWER to succeed. Accounting is featured since accountants as professionals must utilize scientific methodologies. Businesses and enterprises require POWER Living People to employ, since ethical employees are an asset in Truth. Many entrepreneurs are POWER Living People. Dr. Keen proves through conclusions from objective data that the Truth has relevance for today. Ethical dilemmas can be resolved through adherence to the Truth. For example, would you allow a cashier to accept two $5 bills for a product costing $45, and give a $10 bill for change? Would adherence to a philosophy that 5 + 5 = 55 be sufficient? Dr. Keen knows the Truth that 5 + 5 = 10 when the same types are added. Living the Truth is ethical when utilizing this scientifically-verifiable ethical category, which is confirmed in Theanthropic Ethics.

How can you effectively stand up for your values when pressured by your boss, customers, or shareholders to do the opposite? Drawing on actual business experiences as well as on social science research, Babson College business educator and consultant Mary Gentile challenges the assumptions about business ethics at companies and business schools. She gives business leaders, managers, and students the tools not just to recognize what is right, but also to ensure that the right things happen. The book is inspired by a program Gentile launched at the Aspen Institute with Yale School of Management, and now housed at Babson College, with pilot programs in over one hundred schools and organizations, including INSEAD and MIT Sloan School of Management. She explains why past attempts at preparing business leaders to act ethically too often failed, arguing that the issue isn’t distinguishing what is right or wrong, but knowing how to act on your values despite opposing pressure. Through research-based advice, practical exercises, and scripts for handling a wide range of ethical dilemmas, Gentile empowers business leaders with the skills to voice and act on their values, and align their professional path with their principles. Giving Voice to Values is an engaging, innovative, and useful guide that is essential reading for anyone in business.

Managing for Stakeholders: Survival, Reputation, and Success, the culmination of twenty years of research, interviews, and observations in the workplace, makes a major new contribution to management thinking and practice. Current ways of thinking about business and stakeholder management usually ask the Value Allocation Question: How should we distribute the burdens and benefits of corporate activities among stakeholders? Managing for Stakeholders, however, helps leaders develop a mindset that instead asks the Value Creation Question: How can we create as much value as possible for all of our stakeholders?Business is about how customers, suppliers, employees, financiers (stockholders, bondholders, banks, etc.), communities, the media, and managers interact and create value. World-renowned management scholar R. Edward Freeman and his coauthors outline ten concrete principles and seven practical techniques for managing stakeholder relationships in order to ensure a firm’s survival, reputation, and success. Managing for Stakeholders is a revolutionary book that will change not only how managers do business but also how they recognize and evaluate business opportunities that would otherwise be invisible.
