Integrity in Organizations
Edited by: W. Amann & A. Stachowicz-Stanusch
A Palgrave Macmillan Publication from the Humanism
in Business Series.
Integrity in Organizations moves beyond the normative
call for more humanistic management in the aftermath of a
series of corporate scandals, recent financial crisis as well
as increasingly questioned blind fellowship of onedimensional profit maximization as the sole compass for
companies. It sheds light on how we can actually build
more humanistic organizations with the help of integrity.

Banking with Integrity tells the stories of banks which were
doing well during the financial crisis of 2007-2010. While
other banks went bankrupt, were nationalized, or struggled
for survival, some of our featured cases increased their

home evictions of their clients.

financial service firms to find reasons for their resilience.

Humanism in Business
Edited by: H. Spitzeck, M. Pirson, W. Amann, S. Khan & E. v. Kimakowitz
A Cambridge University Press Publication
What is the purpose of our economic system? What
would a more life-serving economy look like? There are
many books about business and society, yet very few of
them question the primacy of GDP growth, profit
maximization and individual utility maximization.
Humanism in Business questions these assumptions
and investigates the possibility of creating a humancentered, value-oriented economy based on humanistic
principles.
