Phenomenological approaches to work, life and responsibility

Over the past few years many people have experienced a profound sense of unease at the succession of strategic movements carried out by companies, which has led them to question the hidden meaning behind the torrent of management-speak. There is, moreover, a contradiction between the aspirations to a companys social responsibility, aspirations to sustainable development and practices widely used in management circles argued that, by focusing on techniques aimed at optimising results in the short term, marketing obliterates any sense of meaning or ethics in favour of rationalism and utilitarianism. The topic of this e-book focuses on the ultimate purpose(s) of our business undertakings with respect to our lives. How can we work in an ever more demanding professional context without loosing the meaning of life and our sense of responsibility? Phenomenology is a philosophical approach that can provide us with new insights as well as concepts and methods to help us assess this issue in a radical way.
