Why Business Ethics Matters: Answers from a New Game Theory Model
ISBN: 9781137430434 / Angielski / Twarda / 203 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. If understood as a practical, phlegmatic way of solving social games, business ethics can potentially rule the world-indeed, it may already.
