Jacob Dahl Rendtorff

"Also managers are human beings: this compelling book offers an ethical conception of management, which is highly relevant to our times, where the balance of power between corporations and the state is in flux. Against the sociological view that managers simply do whatever they have to do dictated by the pragmatic requirements of the market, Jacob Dahl Rendtorff develops a powerful, original and ethically challenging conception of managers as subjects of judgment and imagination. He discusses the works of Hannah Arendt and in particular her work on Eichmann as the basis for this ethics of judgment. The book is lucid as well as thought provoking."
