Human Behavior Chapter 2 - What “business as usual

Human Behavior Chapter -2

Question:

In Chapter 2 on the heroic spirit of capitalism, authors Mackey and Sisodia (2014) suggest that “changes and challenges offer great business opportunities, but they cannot be effectively addressed if we use the same mental models we have operated with in the past.  “Business as usual” will not work anymore. We need a new paradigm for business, a new philosophy to lead and work by” (p. 30).

For your initial post this week, offer your thoughts and perspective on the quotation above.  Develop your post by addressing the following aspects:

1.  What “business as usual” practices are no longer valid, and why?

2.  What should be the new philosophy and paradigm for business, and why?

3.  What organization today exemplifies either the “business as usual” or the new paradigm, and what practices of that organization make it stand out?
