This question - What is value? -
is more important and also more complex than most people think.
In fact, the question appears to be almost identical to the question: Why do
we exist? We are entering here into a very complex terrain, on the
crossing of
economics, strategy, finance, management, sociology, philosophy, ethics,
and for many people also religion...
I believe it is for me as
editor of this Management Portal not
appropriate to give you a generic answer to this fundamental question
(even if I could).
That is not to say that making up your own mind about this question is not
important, whether you are a business executive, an MBA
student, an academic or consultant working in one of the above fields of
interest.

this topic (and make up your own mind) we recommend www.valuequotes.net, a website offering sayings and quotations of the greatest thinkers of
