A feudal heritage

Chapter 2 in Business at a Crossroads, 2010, pp 31-50 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The question posed at the end of Chapter 1 was why the company, as we know it, is so different from the company most of us would like it to be. Given its dominance of modern business and the very large numbers of people it employs, why does it not bear the mark, in the same way as our political system, of the hunger of ordinary people for self-respect?
