What is a business?

New book by Povl Erik Jensen

The answer is obvious – everyone knows what a business is – or do we?

Both the local bike shop and Philips “world wide” are businesses, but in every way completely different. The book “Business theory in practice” Povl Erik Jensen answers the question by discussing what a company has to do to be called a business.

The book is both a theoretical elucidation in which Povl Erik Jensen draws upon a broad spectrum of theories within economics, sociology, organization theory, philosophy, psychology and linguistics as well as a practical exposition of examples from made up and real functions in businesses in Denmark and abroad.
