Knightly virtues have been exemplified by knights in various forms in both Eastern and Western Hemispheres throughout the ages, yet the commonalities have not been explored in terms of their application to business practice in the new millennium. This book will re-examine the history of the many traditions of knighthood, and through reflection upon those virtues, present a new model (MAP - Mastery Altruism and Passion) for application of these virtues to the practice of business in the modern age.
