The third is the desire for people in thecommunity to create relationships that will perpetuate these communities. Frederick brings in a range of ideas and concepts from the social sciences as well as the natural sciences to illuminate his discussion. In the final section of the book he explores a range of issues of current concern tomanagers, including corporate culture and technology. | Values Nature and Culture in the American Corporation by William C.
