Abstract
If you go into any bookstore that specializes in management and enquire about books on values, chances are that you will be sent first to the section on stock markets or to the section on business ethics or ethical investment. However, the relationship between values and business results or share values brings in various interpretations of the word ‘value.’
‘You can live according to all kinds of systems, but there are some systems that don’t let you live.’
(Fernando Savater)
‘First, you’ve got to have a good time. Second, you’ve got to put your heart into everything you do. Third, you’ve got to go in the opposite direction to everyone else.’
(Anita Roddick, Body Shop)
