Business as a Human Community

Company:


"If you go back far enough, it was quite common to think of a company first and foremost as a human community. Literally the word company derives from a French expression compaignier, sharing of bread, the same root as the word companion. So deep in the basic idea of a company is the idea that it's a human community, a group of people who are doing something together that has some meaning to them, something that makes a contribution that they care deeply about"
