Features: In current management theories, the most popular knowledge is the creed of shared values. The consistency between corporate values and employee values is regarded as an essential condition for effective performance. This book demonstrates that values are highly complex and therefore difficult to manage. The depth of complexity in people's values makes it exceptionally challenging for individuals to clearly understand their own values, let alone their managers. Controlling people's values is impossible, and any attempt to do so is futile. For businesses, the diversity, conflict, and inconsistency of values are fundamental elements of their effective operation.
