The Methodological Approach of the Book

Abstract

This book and the previous book by the same author ‘Business Ethics - The Ethical Revolution of Minority Shareholders’, hereinafter ‘the author′s books’, are based on very extensive theoretical and empirical research on activist business ethics and case studies on wrongdoing to stakeholders and minority shareholders in the U.S., France and Israel. They suggest practical proposals that can be implemented without delay, although it is impossible to prove irrefutably that those proposals would be received favorably by the managers of the companies and by the majority shareholders. The companies that will agree to adopt the proposals will probably not be hit by a potential collapse of the international stock markets in the future and will serve as a model of mutual trust between the stakeholders, shareholders and managers of the companies.
