内容説明
Where does the Protestant work ethic come from? And how did America achieve such dominance in management for so long? "The Puritan Gift" traces the origins and the characteristics of American managerial culture which, in the course of three centuries, turned a group of small colonies into the greatest economic and political power on earth. "The Puritan Gift" argues that the drive, energy and acceptance of innovation, competition, growth and social mobility, all of which lie at the root of America's management culture, have their origins in the discipline and ethos of America's first wave of European immigrants: the Puritans. And, the authors warn, as Americans distance themselves from the core values which produced their business and economic successes during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, they put their future prosperity and security at risk. This is an original exploration of the dramatic and far-reaching consequences of the Puritans' 'gift' to America - the ethos which produced the early success of America and what came to be known as the American dream. Puritan Gift has been chosen as one of the top 10 business books of 2007 by the Financial Times

It is therefore not surprising that, when first German and then Russian Jews moved in large numbers to the New World in the nineteenth century, they should have found the established American mores to their liking and become successful in business. In so doing, the newcomers both perpetuated and enhanced the great tradition of good management inherited from the first settlers. (Interestingly, the prophet Mani is said to have formed his religious outlook while dwelling in an ascetic Jew
