The Social Contract with Business: beyond the quest for
global sustainability
http://www.thesocialcontractwithbusiness.com
Also available
from Amazon and Barnes & Noble:
“For
too long the social contract with business remained vague, unwritten and
suspect of undermining the profit motive of the firm . . .” (Page xi)
This
book is about the Social Contract with Business as a means to deliver
humanity’s global sustainability mandate.
From a well
researched Socratic dialogue with today’s leaders and thinkers in the West,
East, and South emerged action-oriented answers to the questions: What kind of
future does humanity want?; What society for such a future?; What business for
such a society?; What business leader for such a business?; What education for
such a business leader?
In
a conversational style the reader is taken on a journey away from today’s world
of destructive globalisation. Slowly, meticulously, and excitingly the reader
is introduced to a new global agenda, a new mode of doing business as an organ
of society; new wisdom, new success criteria, a new language, a new canon of
business knowledge, and a new paradigm for business leadership education.
This
conversation has been enriched with more than 100 practical examples, more than
100 reflection points, and an exposé of fallacies and blind spots.
The book
concludes with guidelines on how to apply the Social Contract with Business in
your organisation . . . in any country, and in any sector of human endeavour.
This
book is written for all who dare to care.
This book is timely, authentic and a first of its kind - it
concludes eight years of research and writing.
