Where does the Protestant work ethic come from? And how did America achieve such dominance in management for so long? 'The Puritan Gift' traces the origins and the characteristics of American managerial culture which, in the course of three centuries, turned a group of small colonies into the greatest economic and political power on earth. It argues that the drive, energy and acceptance of innovation, competition, growth and social mobility, all of which lie at the root of America's management culture, have their origins in the discipline and ethos of America's first wave of European immigrants: the Puritans.And, the authors warn, as Americans distance themselves from the core values which produced their business and economic successes during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, they put their future prosperity and security at risk. This is an original exploration of the dramatic and farreaching consequences of the Puritans' 'gift' to America the ethos which produced the early success of America and what came to be known as the American dream.
