Abstract

The fourth chapter explains that our typical response to corporations is to either endorse them, resist them or to stay neutral to them. It explains that all of these responses are inappropriate in responding to corporations. The task of this chapter is to open up a way of thinking and being that allows for the development of a way of relating to the corporation authentically. By so doing it builds an avenue of coming to terms with the corporation in a manner that makes it possible to deal authentically with entities in the corporation as well as enabling the creation of companies in such a way that they promote the authentic and appropriate encounter of entities.
