What is Business for?

• Based on what you read in the first two pages (pages 3 and 4), why are virtue and integrity so vital to an economy?

Business is a game of powers, where the appearance gives us the opportunity to convince the environment that is around us. In the actual capitalism system there is hangover reality that the rich always want to expand the gap between the elite and the society. Therefore, we can see the virtue and integrity as key characteristics in the business world but for the business these terms has many definitions, we can say that is an attitude that create  a balance in the business actions but instead, the elite uses this power to change the rules of the game anytime that they want.

So, I believe that there are people in the elite that work to share the richness of the world with everyone but also I know that there are a lot that just show their skill to hide the truth. Therefore, the advice is to always be virtuous, conscious that the power will always try to reject the pure love of the savior that we can share with our fellows.

Integrity for me means to work with the town to conquer the capitalism system. 

• According to Charles Handy, what is the “real justification” for the existence of businesses?

The creation of business had in the beginning a different view, the people began to create their companies for the passion that they had for something specific also for the benefit of work, the opportunity to aid more people to get a job, etc.

But in this actual time, the companies just think in numbers – money, they don´t share a same vision with their employers , the just want people that act like machines, the importance is to obtain money not to think about the rest of the people, so the filter changed, I believe that although our first goal is to be financial successful we should always remember that one of the biggest callings that we have is to share our richness with our fellows, that´s how we can understand the model of heavens.

• What are two solutions proposed by Handy that you agree with? Why?

I think that the possible solutions can be a part of the changing but is not going to change the entire filter of capitalism, the real problem is that society taught us to obtain a goal and to don´t help others that are pursuing the same goal, it´s like a fight for the death we want the power and we don’t want to share with anyone, so I just imagine one possible solution.

I believe that the key solution is the principle of believing in God, but to understand that everything that we are reaching is by his hand not for us, comprehending that He guide our path, when we know this we also understand that “our richness” are there to share with others, to create a better world, where the balance can be in the rich and poor.

So we must eradicate the pride that we have, to believe that the company exists because our intelligence or our power, the reality is that God gave us these corporations to help others, to create a kingdom of equality.
