Business decisions are not just based on abstract theories or models. They reflect a world view
of how a company operates and the philosophy of management that it follows. Even denying any
connection between management and values is a philosophical statement in itself. Santiago
Iñiguez de Onzoño President of the prestigious IE Business School looks to the greatest
female philosophers from modern history to help us bring purpose and meaning back into the
workplace and management education. He shows how their pioneering work can be applied in
specific situations from Iris Murdoch's emphasis on compassion to Hannah Arendt's work on
making the world more human each philosopher can in a very practical way help inform your
own approach to work and life. Packed with examples personal stories and anecdotes from some
of the world's most influential companies and women in business this book examines how the
contributions from female philosophers stand up in the real world helping to drive inclusion
diversity and ultimately innovation.
