From Baghdad to Toronto: A Journey of Values (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781039185104)

In our increasingly globalized, interconnected, and therefore volatile world, how can we expect to find success in business? Faced with the precarity of our current economic situation, what can we fall back on in our pursuit of a meaningful and rewarding business career?

From Baghdad to Toronto goes a long way to answering these omnipresent yet increasingly urgent questions, detailing businessman and first time author Yahya Abbas's experience in the world of business and manufacturing. Here, he recounts growing up with the legacy of his family's centuries-old, multigenerational textile business and his personal rise to operating one of the largest, most prominent manufacturers of beverage products in the North American market.

Far from a nitty-gritty instructional text, Abbas uses his captivating personal story to put forward a broad philosophy for his reader, consistently arguing for principle and integrity in business dealings as the foundation of any successful career. Against the increasingly rampant philosophy that a ruthless, cutthroat attitude will serve you best, Abbas's story testifies to the fact that no matter the industry, honesty, good ethics, and mutual respect pave the road to success. Business is always personal, and the greatest rewards will follow from being true to your values.
