Even now, when I remember the first time I looked into his eyes - that first instant that he drew me into his world of darkness, I still experience the same exhilaration and dread as I did then. Would I do it again? Yes! He is the very essence of darkness, but at the same time, he is my light. Nothing can compare to how he makes me feel, but it wasn’t always that way. His is a world of darkness. It is the world of the immortal, but that is just the beginning. It is also a world of wolves and so many things that do not exist in the world of light. It is a world of eternal night and the endless search for the light. It is a reality that can only be seen with eyes that see all shades of darkness. This is my story. It is the story of a love that conquers time, distance and even death, but it isn’t just my story. This story belongs to all who seek the light within the darkness. We are the Light Seekers. The Light Seekers is a serial that will unfold over several volumes. This is a spin-off of the Immortal Destiny Series, though it can be read as a stand-alone series.

Applied Ethics in Management
Author: Shitangsu K. Chakraborty
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642601510
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Ethical issues are emerging as the most important managerial challenge in all spheres of organizational life, from the wider issues of strategy-making, finance, technology, marketing, information systems to the subtle concerns of gender, demography or cultural diversity. The competitive market-economy model has widened the scope for managers in all countries to violate the fundamental values and integrity needed to maintain and enrich a civil society. These violations stretch from personal lapses of bribery and corruption to the wider areas of moral questions related to an ethically grounded global business system. This book grew out of'a three-day international workshop addressing these issues, held at the Management Centre for Human Values (MCHV), Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta, during February 1998. The workshop explored topics of applied management by providing mUltiple perspectives. Eighteen of the papers have been chosen for this volume, covering business functions, strategies and alliances. One of the key objectives of the workshop was to integrate ideas of applied ethics developing from Asia, Australia and Europe. Any book on applied ethics must be founded on a multicultural base and be practically oriented. This project has been greatly privileged in drawing together the work of 18 very senior and widely experienced academics and practitioners, spanning four continents. The two editors, from different continents, communicated regularly with each other and the contributors. The book is a result of the support and encouragement of many individuals.
