Product Description
This German language book is entitled "The Ethics of Success: Rules for the globalized society"and is about an average company in Germany where the people there had a lack of motivation and competition. Everywhere there was mediocrity in schools and universities, an incompetent political world, and citizens were working less and less, yet living the high life. The former IBM chief Hans-Olaf Henkel formulated his ethics of success through pure competion. He calls for a fresh and capitalistic start and opens up a new era to deal with globalization. Henkel was born into a well-to-do merchant family in Hamburg in 1940. His father, a successful paper wholesaler, died on the battlefront in Hungary. With a villa on the renowned Lake Rothenbaumchaus, the family was forced to live on reduced means after their home was bombed out. However, a good standard of living for the family was never seriously threatened.When Hans-Olaf Henkel relinquished his position as head of the Association of German Industry (BDI) after three terms in office, few workers would have mourned his departure. Henkel had been at the top of the BDI since the beginning of 1995. He can certainly lay claim to have well served the interests of the German business world. In undertaking radical ventures to promote market economy principles, he was deeply involved in moving German federal politics to the right and driving down social conditions.
A facinating read!
