Book Review: An Alternative to Business as Usual: Evangelical Christian Executives: A New Model for Business Corporations

Abstract

This is a review of Lewis Solomon's book, EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN EXECUTIVES which examines an alternative model for business corporations in which the business founders integrate faith in their day-to-day operation of their businesses and define corporate responsibility to encompass shareholders, employees, customers, and the community. Solomon uses an individual case study approach. The individual case studies examine a number of different aspects of these businesses. Among them are the leadership styles of the chief executive officers, the core values of each business, the challenges faced by each business, and how these businesses have resolved external controversies.

Keywords: Evangelical executives, faith based business practices, corporate culture, corporate goverance
