In an increasingly globalized world, business ethics continues to gain importance as a field of study. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the essential concepts of business ethics related to the economy as a whole, as well as more closely understood corporate ethics related to the individual company. In contrast to more casuistic works on the topic, special emphasis is placed on a coherent theoretical foundation that puts economic analysis tools at the centre of the consideration. Both classical and experimental economic approaches and results are called upon. The importance of often-neglected dilemma structures and the resulting implications for an ethics of the modern age are given wide scope, while special attention is also paid to the value of empirical research for business ethics. A substantial portion of the book is devoted to corporate ethics and explores issues that encompass corporate responsibility in the context of compliance, corporate social responsibility, corporate citizenship, and creating shared value. This is intended to provide students and academics with an aid in the theoretical classification of the variety of concepts that often coexist incoherently in contemporary debate. As the topic has evolved, it has extended far beyond narrow disciplinary boundaries. This book is intended for students in the social sciences, particularly economics, business, and psychology, as well as the computer sciences, engineering, and the natural sciences.

Stalin had never been able to shake off the nightmare of Adolf Hitler. Just as in 1941 he refused to understand that Hitler had broken their non-aggression pact, he was in 1945 unwilling to believe that the dictator had committed suicide in the debris of the Berlin bunker. In his paranoia, Stalin ordered his secret police, the NKVD, precursor to the KGB, to explore in detail every last vestige of the private life of the only man he considered a worthy opponent, and to clarify beyond doubt the circumstances of his death. For months two captives of the Soviet Army--Otto Guensche, Hitler's adjutant, and Heinz Linge, his personal valet--were interrogated daily, their stories crosschecked, until the NKVD were convinced that they had the fullest possible account of the life of the Führer. In 1949 they presented their work, in a single copy, to Stalin. It is as remarkable for the depth of its insight into Adolf Hitler--from his specific directions to Linge as to how his body was to be burned, to his sense of humor--as for what it does not say, reflecting the prejudices of the intended reader: Joseph Stalin. Nowhere, for instance, does the dossier criticize Hitler's treatment of the Jews. Today, the 413-page original of Stalin's personal biography of Hitler is a Kremlin treasure and it is said to be held in President Putin's safe. The only other copy, made by order of Stalin's successor, Nikita Khrushchev, in 1959, was deposited in Moscow Party archives under the code number 462A. It was there that Henrik Eberle and Matthias Uhl, two German historians, found it. Available to the public in full for the first time, The Hitler Book presents a captivating, astonishing, and deeply revealing portrait of Hitler, Stalin, and the mutual antagonism of these two dictators, who between them wrought devastation on the European continent.

Joseph Stalin had never been able to shake off the nightmare of Adolf Hitler. Just as in 1941 he refused to understand that Hitler had broken their non-aggression pact, he was in 1945 unwilling to believe that the dictator had committed suicide in the debris of the Berlin bunker.

For months two captives of the Soviet Army-Otto Guensche, Hitler's adjutant, and Heinz Linge, his personal valet-were interrogated daily, their stories crosschecked, until the NKVD were convinced that they had the fullest possible account of the life of the Furher.   In 1949 they presented their work, in a single copy, to Stalin. It is as remarkable for the depth of its insight into Adolf Hitler-from his specific directions to Linge as to how his body was to be burned, to his sense of humor-as for what it does not say, reflecting the prejudices of the intended reader: Joseph Stalin.

"An astonishingly intimate portrait" of the Furher-commissioned by, written for, and read by Joseph Stalin, before it disappeared into Soviet archives. Until now. -The Times    "This revelatory document was an extraordinary find and gives an absorbing, truly disturbing, account of Hitler and his demonic court."-Publishers Weekly

Hat Angeben einen Sinn' Was will der Pfau erreichen, der seine prächtigen Schwanzfedern ausbreitet' Wen beeindruckt das mächtige Geweih des Platzhirsches' Und warum steigt der braungebrannte Jüngling so cool aus seinem superschicken Cabriolet' Hat der, der angibt, mehr vom Leben' Und steht die Verschwendung von Ressourcen nicht in krassem Widerspruch zur Ökonomie der Natur' Die Erklärungsmodelle, welche die Biologie und die Evolutionspsychologie für Extravaganz, Übertreibung und Show bei Tieren wie Menschen anzubieten haben, sind das Kernthema dieses ebenso aufschlussreichen wie unterhaltsamen Buches. Mit zahlreichen Beispielen und in klarer Sprache stellen die Autoren die Konzepte und Theorien vor, mit denen sich das Angeben als biologisches Phänomen erläutern lässt: Kosten-Nutzen-Analysen, natürliche und sexuelle Selektion, offene und verdeckte Botschaften, das Handicap-Prinzip. Und die Bandbreite der dabei angeschnittenen Themen ist beeindruckend. Zum Beispiel reichen die zur Erklärung des Handicap-Prinzips angeführten Beispiele von bewusst riskantem Verhalten bei Heranwachsenden über "Kleider machen Leute" Punk und die Sex Pistols, Box-Taktiken und Golfclubs, Statussymbole und die "Peanuts" der Deutschen Bank, Friedrich den Großen und Saddam Hussein, Militärparaden auf dem Roten Platz, den Anschlag auf das World Trade Center, üppige Blumensträuße und teure Essenseinladungen bis hin zu orientalischen Märchen und Sankt Martin, die japanische Yakuzza, Liebesbriefen und dem Geheimnis motivierender Chefs. Die Lektüre des Buches wird den Blick auf das Statussymbol des Nachbarn und das Gehabe der Kollegen nachhaltig verändern.
