Environmental Strategy for Businesses
There are as many ways for companies to improve their environmental performance as there are stakeholders who are calling upon them to do so. If companies make the right choices, they can satisfy their stakeholders, enhance their financial position, and help address the climate crisis. The wrong choices invite stakeholder scorn and risk wasting valuable resources. What problems do companies need to solve, and how can they solve them, to achieve the promise of shared value environmental performance? This book presents a framework for companies to design, develop and implement an effective environmental strategy that identifies environmental improvements, enables value exchanges with stakeholders, and improves competitive advantage. The step-by-step guide through this framework, illustrated with many examples, shows the promise of environmental initiatives that align with strategic opportunities and resources and the pitfalls of those that do not.
The Dictatorship of Woke Capital
For the better part of a century, the Left has been waging a slow, methodical battle for control of the institutions of Western civilization. During most of that time, "business"-- and American Big Business, in particular -- remained the last redoubt for those who believe in free people, free markets, and the criticality of private property. Over the past two decades, however, that has changed, and the Left has taken its long march to the last remaining non-Leftist institution. Over the course of the past two years or so, a small handful of politicians on the Right -- Senators Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio, and Josh Hawley, to name three -- have begun to sense that something is wrong with American business and have sought to identify the problem and offer solutions to rectify it. While the attention of high-profile politicians to the issue is welcome, to date the solutions they have proposed are inadequate, for a variety of reasons, including a failure to grasp the scope of the problem, failure to understand the mechanisms of corporate governance, and an overreliance on state-imposed, top-down solutions. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the problem and the players involved, both on the aggressive, hardcharging Left and in the nascent conservative resistance. It explains what the Left is doing and how and why the Right must be prepared and willing to fight back to save this critical aspect of American culture from becoming another, more economically powerful version of the "woke" college campus.

Stitching Governance for Labour Rights
Transnational labour governance is in urgent need of a new paradigm of democratic participation, with those who are most affected - typically workers - placed at the centre. To achieve this, principles of industrial democracy and transnational governance must come together to inform institutions within global supply chains. This book traces the development of 'transnational industrial democracy', using responses to the 2013 Rana Plaza disaster as the empirical context. A particular focus is placed on the Bangladesh Accord and the JETI Workplace Social Dialogue programme. Drawing on longitudinal field research from 2013-2020, the authors argue that the reality of modern-day supply chain capitalism has neither optimal institutional frameworks nor effective structures of industrial relations. Informed by principles of industrial democracy, the book aims at enhancing emerging forms of private transnational governance as second-best institutions.

Fruitful Living
Life is a gift, and it is full and pregnant with possibilities. With this gift, God granted purpose and provision; elements created to yield fruitfulness worth multiplying.Although a phenomenal present, life is overwhelming at times. Constant juggling leads to frustration, anxiety, and poor choice selection. When this is the norm, thoughts of failure, shame, guilt, incompetence, and unworthiness raise their ugly heads, attempting to control life.For believers, those who accept salvation through Jesus Christ, this is not God's plan. His plan gives The Holy Spirit, equipped with the Fruit of the Spirit, access to demonstrate spiritual control. Spiritual control increases the probability of believers attaining a rich, fruitful life.Fearfully and wonderfully made believers are a big deal. Live like it! Produce thoughts, feelings, and actions that yield abundant living. Break away from living beneath your value, penalizing yourself for mistakes, and falling into destructive behavior.Receive God's love in the person of The Holy Spirit as your best friend. Engage in constant communication, generating strength, power, and desire to take actions that foster spiritual productivity. You will be unstoppable, taking advantage of such a relationship.Why do I invite you to join me in discovering God's plan for your fruitfulness? Because this journey of discovery led to recovery for me. As a believer, I knew about some of God's promises. Yes, I knew of the Trinity, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. However, I didn't fully grasp how much God loved me and what He gave me in this three-in-one being. And I had no clue of the power of The Holy Spirit. Here was my best friend living right inside of me, a sure ticket to success and productivity God's way.Why was I suffering and subjecting myself to pain, disappointment, and poor mental health when the answers to all I would need to know were right inside me. I want to shout for joy on the one hand and weep for the misery I allowed in my life and the lives of others by not getting to know The Holy Spirit and developing my relationship with Him. Once I came to the knowledge of what I had with The Holy Spirit, what I could do with Him and how I could influence others, it was a no-brainer. I had to use this power!!!We all want to be successful, accomplished, and significant. Fruitful Living addresses the godly principles for achieving such feats. Believers get the opportunity to examine the inner working of the force created by God and directed by The Holy Spirit, using the Fruit of the Spirit. This force is the major advantage in yielding godly outcomes in life, which bring Heaven to earth -- legacy building for the King.As a believer, you are born with an advantage. Why not use it and honor God? Your trust, faith, and obedience in this decision serve in the assignment of carrying out His purpose. What a privilege to be considered worthy of this high calling!

Capital and Capitalism
Capitalist societies need to undergo major change to provide for the material needs of all the people who work within the system, not just the 1 percent. They have become dysfunctional and need a different kind of orientation to continue in existence. Instead of creating wealth, which is what they are supposed to accomplish, they have created nothing but debt for the past several decades and are now in serious trouble with regard to finding the wherewithal to keep on functioning as viable societies that can provide job opportunities for their workers and the promise of a better life in the future for their citizens. The coronavirus pandemic has exposed just how many people live paycheck to paycheck and have not been able to accumulate any kind of savings. The 1 percent, meanwhile, have benefited greatly and have vastly increased their wealth over the past several decades. This book does not advocate the need to turn to a form of socialism, however, to give most workers a chance at a decent life for themselves. What is needed is a redefinition of capitalism to make it work for everyone. Capital and Capitalism seeks to uncover various myths about capitalism that hinder our ability to change the system and discuss the task of redefining capitalism by examining where neo-liberalism went wrong and what role restructuring the corporation along stakeholder lines can play in making capitalism more responsive to the entire society.It will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of business and society, leadership, and business ethics.

Corporate Responsibility for Wealth Creation and Human Rights
Georges Enderle proposes a radically new understanding of corporate responsibility in the global and pluralistic context. This book introduces a framework that integrates the ideas of wealth creation and human rights, which is illustrated by multiple corporate examples, and provides a sharp critique of the maximizing shareholder value ideology. By defining the purpose of business enterprises as creating wealth in a comprehensive sense, encompassing natural, economic, human and social capital while respecting human rights, Enderle draws attention to the fundamental importance of public wealth, without which private wealth cannot be created. This framework further identifies the limitations of the market institution and self-regarding motivations by demonstrating that the creation of public wealth requires collective actors and other-regarding motivations. In line with the UN's Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, this book provides clear ethical guidance for businesses around the world and a strong voice against human right violations, especially in repressive and authoritarian regimes and populist and discriminatory environments.
Megacorporation
When the scale and scope of influence that a corporation wields is so great that it eclipses that of nearly all other corporations combined, it attains megacorporate status. Whelan proposes that, amongst the current big tech cohort, it is only Alphabet, the parent company of Google, that can be categorized as such. In advancing a novel philosophical perspective, and aspiring to an amoral ideal of analysis, Whelan reveals Alphabet's activities to be informed by the ideology of infinite times, consequently transforming how we experience the past, present and the future at personal and social levels. By shining a light on such corporate existential impacts, Megacorporation: The Infinite Times of Alphabet opens up a new field of research that makes the philosophical analysis of business and society an everyday concern. This novel study on corporate social influence will appeal to readers interested in big tech, business and society, political economy and organization studies.

Building a House for Diversity
"What could an elephant and a giraffe teach people about working together? Some very important lessons, it seems, about the complex--and critically important--issues of dealing with diversity in the workforce. Building a House for Diversity begins with a short fable about how a friendship between the two animals is threatened when the house built for a tall, skinny giraffe cannot accommodate his invited guest, a broad, bulky elephant. Using this story as a vivid metaphor for the difficult issues inherent in diversity, the book goes on to demonstrate how managing diversity can be seen as a set of skills that anyone can learn and use. In a way that makes diversity management ""up close and personal,"" Building a House for Diversity offers compelling, real-life stories of individual experiences at work. It includes: * The perspective of both ""insiders"" (usually white males) and ""outsiders"" (usually minorities or women) * Insightful commentary illuminating what these experiences tell us about the challenges and opportunities of diversity * A particularly interesting segment on Phil Jackson, legendary Chicago Bulls coach, and how he dealt with diversity issues in his relationships to Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippin, and others * Hands-on guidance to help readers become ""diversity mature"" and take personal responsibility for their attitudes and actions. Throughout, the book reflects the seminal thinking of R. Roosevelt Thomas, Jr., a pioneer in articulating the concepts of managing diversity. In this book, he has produced his most creative and practical approach to this continuing challenge."
