Chapter Chapter 3 in Corporations as Grand Strategists, 2026, pp 33-67 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Every people or nation needs, to ensure a minimum of ideological cohesion, founding myths and exceptionalist imaginaries that justify and glorify its existence. These myths and imaginaries serve the quasi-religious functionality of providing sacred meaning, moral orientation, and collective legitimacy. Our first corporate archetype extends this quasi-religious functionality to the global stage.
