What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"Fisk... persuasively argues that leadership and responsibility for the world's future must be an integral component of every organization's culture and strategic planning. Incorporating interesting case studies and comments from a number of today's business leaders, the chapters provide unique insight into the ways in which companies as diverse as Apple Computer and Wal-Mart are translating this demand for a social purpose into practical plans that create business value and long-term viability while also demonstrating a commitment to environmental and social issues." - S. R. Kahn, University of Cincinnati
