Abstract (2. Language): 
During the course of history almost all civilizations contributed to the genre of “book of advice” with different labels; such as ‘sbyt’, ‘astra’, ‘andarz’, ‘mirror for prince’ and ‘siyasatnama’. Even though they were prima facia addressed kings and higher officers, they contain a great deal of universal advices applicable to any management and leadership context. So much so that scholars have realized the relevance of principles offered in these texts to management and especially to the field of business ethics. Confucius, Kautilya, Plato and Machiavelli have always been accepted as early management thinkers as their ideas inspired modern management from several perspectives. Considering this fact, this work aims to review ‘books of advice’ or ‘mirrors’ produced by different civilizations focusing their relevance to business ethics. What makes this work significant is firstly our focus on Islamic civilization which has been overlooked by scholars and secondly exposing a holistic perspective starting from 2500 BC till 16th century.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Devlet adamlarına tavsiyeler içeren Siyasetname türü eserlere tüm kadim medeniyetlerde rastlamak mümkündür. ‘Sbyt’, ‘astra’, ‘andarz’, ‘mirror for prince’ ya da ‘siyasatnama’ gibi isimlerle karşımıza çıkan bu eserler, zaman içerisinde sadece tarihi ve siyasi metinler olarak kabul görmekle kalmamış; içerdikleri genel geçer prensiplerle modern yönetim biliminin ve hatta iş etiği sahasının temellerini oluşturmuştur. Öyle ki; eserleri ile modern yönetim alanına pek çok fikir vermiş olan Conficius, Kautilya, Plato ve Machiavelli yönetim biliminin ilk mütefekkirlerinden sayılmaktadırlar. Bu noktadan hareketle elinizdeki çalışma, birçok farklı medeniyetin ortak ürünü olan ‘Nasihat Kitapları’ literatürünü iş ahlakı ile ilişkisi yönünden taramayı hedeflemektedir. Bu makaleyi öncüllerinden farklı kılan noktalar, bahsi geçen çalışmaları M.Ö. 2500 yılından M.S. 1600’lü yıllara kadar uzanan bir süreçte bütüncül bir bakış açısı ile ele alması ve özelde bilim dünyasının henüz farkına varamadığı İslam medeniyeti kapsamında üretilen çalışmalara odaklanmasıdır.
