Full Description
A pathbreaking collection of case studies that spotlights the corporate sector's societal obligations.
At a time of deep and pervasive global challenges, future CEOs and administrators need to apply management principles to social impact cases. Today, top business schools across the country are meeting the moment, teaching courses about socially responsible investing and debating ways companies can stem the effects of climate change.
The case studies collected here are an invaluable resource for today's students and tomorrow's leaders. Chapters address an array of business sectors, including consumer goods, finance, health care, higher education, manufacturing, nongovernmental organizations, social services, and transportation. A teacher's guide is available online to educators.
