Book Description
Corporate accountability is never far from the front page, and as one of the world’s most elite business schools, Harvard Business School trains many of the future leaders of Fortune 500 companies. But how does HBS formally and informally ensure faculty and students embrace proper business standards? Relying on his first-hand experience as a Harvard Business School faculty member, Michel Anteby takes readers inside HBS in order to draw vivid parallels between the socialization of faculty and of students. In an era when many organizations are focused on principles of responsibility, Harvard Business School has long tried to promote better business standards. Anteby’s rich account reveals the surprising role of silence and ambiguity in HBS’s process of codifying morals and business values. As Anteby describes, at HBS specifics are often left unspoken; for example, teaching notes given to faculty provide much guidance on how to teach but are largely silent on what to teach. Manufacturing Morals demonstrates how faculty and students are exposed to a system that operates on open-ended directives that require significant decision-making on the part of those involved, with little overt guidance from the hierarchy. Anteby suggests that this model—which tolerates moral complexity—is perhaps one of the few that can adapt and endure over time. Manufacturing Morals is a perceptive must-read for anyone looking for insight into the moral decision-making of today’s business leaders and those influenced by and working for them.

Book Description
"Third Eye Rising explores the neurodiversity of India through two of the country's most compelling aspects: family ties and spiritual faith. In a land where divisions of caste and class threaten survival, where the religious are corrupt and the corrupt religious, and where dogmas and superstitions impede economic and individual progress, Shroff shows how spiritual realizations impact daily lives and how they help withstand circumstances of corruption, greed, betrayal, prejudice, and personal loss. In the title story, "Third Eye Rising," a young wife must prove her innocence to her sadistic in-laws; in "The Kitemaker's Dilemma" a nomadic kitemaker takes it on himself to save a melancholic boy from exile; in "Bhikoo Badshah's Poison" a migrant youth, employed in the city, attempts to shed the burden of his caste; in "Diwali Star" a retired police inspector draws on the events of the epic Ramayana to redefine his relationship with his sons; in "A Matter of Misfortune" two childhood friends have a face-off over the two faces of India: urban and rural; in "Oh Dad!" a dutiful son takes it on himself to protect his father from an unscrupulous taxman; in "An Invisible Truth" an employer delves into his manservant's life only to get a life-changing insight into his own. Through these stories, we learn how in India it is spiritual faith that unifies, inspires, and frees its recipients from the bondage of struggle. Shroff has tackled his subject-the darker side of India-with the full democracy of his imagination and an empathy that believes in the eternal unity of man"--
