Key concepts include: You have three key imperatives as a manager: manage yourself, manage your network, and manage your team.

A Gentler Capitalism: Black Business Leadership in the New South Africa

by Linda A. Hill & Maria Farkas

What role should business play in ameliorating poverty and addressing inequality? Linda A. Hill and Maria Farkas, a doctoral student, examine this question against the backdrop of post-apartheid South Africa. Focusing on the efforts of one successful black executive to recruit and develop other minority managers and integrate blacks into the mainstream economy, Hill and Farkas explore fundamental ethical and business issues affecting companies and society at large. Key concepts include: In assessing the economic or ethical soundness of a leader's decisions, the impact of his or her actions over time must be considered. All business people around the world need to think about the appropriate role of business in addressing inequality. This example of efforts in South Africa may offer valuable insights for addressing inequality elsewhere in the globe. Issues of inequality are more likely to be raised in transitional economies—as opposed to stable economies—because new institutions are being designed and new policies and practices are being established.
