Feelings and Business

A collection of essays in honour of Professor Claes Gustafsson. In the book the reader will find both personal commentaries and recollections of Claes Gustafsson as well as essays that take specific aspects of his own work and present their own interpretations. The subject matter of the chapters ranges from meditations on Marx and frivolity, through business ethics and gifting practices, with a quick detour through ancient philosophy (with a helping of sophistry), and back to project management. Topics also include Diderot, corporate social responsibility, small talk, decision-making and the philosophy of technology. Somehow, they even manage to encompass the thorny issue of James Bond's relationship with snow.Claes Gustafsson became Professor emeritus 2008 from his position as Professor at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm.Authors contributing to the Festschrift are:Ester Barinaga, Barbara Czarniawska, Albert Danielsson, Pierre Guillet de Monthoux, Bertil Guve, Bo Göranzon, Minna Halme, Markus Hällgren, Tina Karrbom Gustavsson, Thomas Lennerfors, Marcus Lindahl, Thomas Polesie, Erik Piñeiro, Alf Rehn, Björn Rombach, Rolf Solli and Anders Söderholm
