Summary

In the shadow of Worldcom and Enron, managing with integrity has risen up the corporate agenda.. Drawing on his work with international consultancy firm KPMG, Samuel Kaptein introduces six guiding principles for managing with integrity. Based on real-life insights not theory, Kaptein shows how - through understanding and developing these principles - managers can lead by positive example and bring real benefits to themselves, their staff and the wider business. With telling case studies and examples, Six Principles shows how you can face the dilemmas, resist the temptations and make the right decisions - an invaluable guide.

Currently professor of business ethics at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Samuel also acts as a consultant at KPMG and is director of Ethicon, a scientific centre in ethics and social responsibility.
