Book of Business Philosophy

Write a report of 3000 words.

Structure the report as follows

  • Introduction
  • Choose 2 authors from the Book of Business Philosophy. One of those authors must be Adam Smith. The other author you can choose yourself.
    1. Explain what the main thinking is of each of the 2 authors you have chosen (concepts or laws) and also explain what the similarities and/ or differences are between these 2 authors.
    2. Explain how their thinking has affected doing business in general.
  • Choose a company with a history that goes back to at least 10 years (e.g. Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft). Describe the history of the company since its start. Analyse the history of the company in terms of the concepts of the 2 authors you have described. For instance: one of the concepts of the theory of Adam Smith is the role of competition to regulate the market. Explain how the company of your choosing – let’s say it is Amazon – deals with the aspect of competition and explain how this determines their present position in the market.
  • Finalize your paper with a short conclusion and also an explanation what you have learnt from Business Philosophy which you think can be helpful for your later career.
