Surveys of employees show that misconduct is on the rise. Cover stories reporting indictments, prosecutions, and penalties imposed for unethical business conduct appear almost daily. Legislatures pass requirements elevating the levels of punishment and their enforcement against corporations and individuals. Organizations face pressure to design and implement effective ethics and compliance programs. As a result, businesses and businesspeople are increasingly worried that their conduct might cross lines that put their wealth and reputations at risk. Business Ethics: What Everyone Needs to Know  explains what those lines are, how not to cross them, and what to do when they are crossed.

It is disgraceful that intellectuals writing on business ethics tend to adopt a language that lay intelligent people cannot follow. Second, the book does not defend, in a aprioristic manner, one position over others. Rather, it clarifies pros and cons of the main theses on the subject in a balanced and fair way. Finally, this book comes out at a time characterized by the emergence of problems such as environmental degradation, pandemics, the explosion of income and wealth inequalities, problems that cannot be solved without the active intervention of businesses.

Real wages have stagnated or declined for most workers, job insecurity has increased, and retirement income is uncertain. Hours of work for white collar employees have increased steadily, opportunities for advancement have withered, and evidence of the negative effects of workplace stress on health continues to accumulate. Why have jobs gotten so much worse? As Peter Cappelli argues, these issues are not a result of companies trying to be cost effective. They stem from the logic of financial accounting--the arbiter for determining whether a company is maximizing shareholder value--and its fundamental flaws in dealing with human capital. Financial accounting views employee costs as fixed costs that cannot be reduced and fails to account for the costs o\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e...a timely study that connects present-day labor shortages to the dehumanizing irrationality of the modern workplace. * Publishers Weekly *\u003cbr\u003eHow and why are corporate jobs getting worse and worse over time? Peter Cappelli's latest book answers both these questions: corporations are pushed by accounting demands to squeeze employment costs and to rely on contractors and outsourcing to keep these costs off their books-even at the expense of HR practices supported by decades of research and experience. Our Least Important Asset is an arresting take on the source of our current employment malaise. * Jerry Davis, University of Michigan *\u003cbr\u003eHuman capital expert Peter Cappelli has written an important new book addressing the fundamental question of why policies that value and build human capital are not only rare in practice but increasingly implemented. His insightful answer: financial accounting measures lead to a lose-lose situation in which companies and their employees suffer. Just as the ESG movement has broadened reporting, so the answer to improved productivity and employee wellbeing must begin in changes in accounting measures. * Jeffrey Pfeffer, Stanford Graduate School of Business *\u003cbr\u003ePeter Cappelli, one of the leading scholars of workforce management, offers a compelling explanation of the decline of human resource practices like careful hiring and performance evaluation and investment in training. Corporate fixation with shareholder value maximization operationalized through financial accounting practices has turned employees from a perceived asset to a liability. Cappelli's probing analysis shows that the popular bromide of convincing corporate leaders 'to do well by doing good' is not sufficient to stem the erosion of work. That makes Our Least Important Asset a must read for those who care about the future of work and workers. * David Weil, Brandeis University *\u003cbr\u003eA thought-provoking and important study for managers or faculty and students in business and management programs. * Library Journal *\u003cbr\u003eCappelli's book is based on decades of research and experience in human resource management.

The belief it does has had disastrous consequences for our economies, environment, politics, and societies, argues Colin Mayer. In an urgent call for reform, he sets out an agenda to remake the corporation into a powerful force for promoting economic and social wellbeing in its fullest sense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMayer of the Saïd Business School at Oxford is one of the world's foremost critics of the idea that the aim of companies is to maximise shareholder value. This, he argues cogently, represents a betrayal of one of humanity's most extraordinary inventions. * Martin Wolf, Books of the Year 2018, The Financial Times *\u003cbr\u003e[A] remarkable and radical new book. * Martin Wolf, The Financial Times *\u003cbr\u003eMayer's manifesto recasts the company's place in society. * Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson, the Financial Times04\/01\/2019 *\u003cbr\u003eHis [Colin Mayer's] book is a resounding paean and radical road map towards a bright future for the corporation and capitalism. * Andrew Hill, The Financial Times *\u003cbr\u003eThe book is far more than a manifesto for change ... Mayer's book performs a great service. * Richard Bronk, the Society of Professional Economists, Reading Room (open access) *\u003cbr\u003eExcellent ... a vitally important subject and it's a really well-written book. * Diane Coyle, The Enlightened Economist *\u003cbr\u003eA book that will transform the attitudes and perspectives of corporations. * Robert L. Brown, Juriste International *\u003cbr\u003eA powerful reply to the steadily increasing criticism of free market business... So far, the defenders of capitalism have failed to find a convincing voice or to offer any significant ways to improve how business is perceived. Now Colin Mayer provides answers and a coherent manifesto for change. * Peter Chadwick, IEDP Book Reviews *\u003cbr\u003eOur world does not have long for business to escape its 40 year-long capture by the Chicago school. This book is an historic milestone in economic theory because it marks the final nail in Milton Friedman's intellectual coffin. It does this by illuminating a pragmatic pathway for business and policy makers to follow, to escape an anachronistic orthodoxy that is killing our beautiful planet and our precious communities. They must study it closely and then move fast, so that we all - and those who come after us - might avoid calamity and, instead, prosper. * James Perry, Chairman of Cook *\u003cbr\u003eHere is the case for reinventing the corporation so that it serves human well-being. Colin Mayer shows both why an exclusive focus on shareholder value is damaging, and how purposeful changes could support trustworthy corporations that combine social and business benefits. * Baroness Onora O'Neill of Bengarve, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of Cambridge *\u003cbr\u003eIn his humane and readable book, Colin Mayer makes a compelling case for a new concept of the corporation, and the need to treat corporate purpose as far more than shareholder value. In showing how restoring trust is key to a true future prosperity, it will reframe much of our thinking on this central subject. * The Hon. Mr Justice William Blair, High Court Judge of England and Wales. *\u003cbr\u003eA wonderful manifesto for change and essential reading for any who remain to be convinced that business can - and should - be a force for a societal good. One of the most insightful and comprehensive accounts yet of how - and why - the corporation needs to change if it is to meet the needs and expectations of a new era. Thoughtful and well-argued, Mayer has done the cause of enlightened capitalism great service. * Paul Polman, CEO, Unilever *\u003cbr\u003eRarely in the history of economics and law does a person observe the current state of the world, recognize its deficiencies, and put forth a policy and paradigm that is destined to change the world. John Maynard Keynes in the twenties and thirties and now Colin Mayer are prime examples. This book is destined to be the \"bible\" of the Mayer-Paradigm of corporate governance and the template for the policy changes that are necessary to implement it. * Martin Lipton, Senior Partner Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen \u0026amp; Katz *\u003cbr\u003eBusinesses have a duty to do well by stakeholders as well as shareholders. How did too many corporations lose their sense of purpose? What is the right path to build responsible, sustainable relationships with society? This insight-rich book offers a comprehensive guide for restoring trust between companies, consumers, and communities. Professor Mayer makes a compelling argument that the purpose and values of modern corporations have been diluted and it will take the work of executives, legislators, regulators, bankers, investors, and even shareholders to fix. * Dominic Barton, Global Managing Partner Emeritus, McKinsey \u0026amp; Company *\u003cbr\u003eThe financial crisis and its aftermath called for answers - questions were raised instead. Our corporate and political environments have been severely shaken for more than a decade. We have to find new approaches and look for better answers to bring our social market economies into balance. Colin Mayer relentlessly challenges conventional wisdom, combining diverse academic fields and bringing business to meet academia. Prosperity is building on a wealth of research looking at the broader picture and its many corners to seek appropriate answers to the challenges of our world. Is 'purpose first, prosperity follows' the answer? * Daniela Weber-Rey, non-executive director of HSBC Trinkaus \u0026amp; Burkhardt and Fnac-Darty *\u003cbr\u003eColin Mayer has elevated the conversation about business and society. Bold enough to reimagine an economic system, specific enough to drive action, Prosperity introduces the higher-order thinking necessary to build a more Inclusive Capitalism. * Lynn Forester de Rothschild, CEO of E.L. Rothschild and the Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism *\u003cbr\u003eWith characteristic courage and purposeful passion, Mayer challenges the status quo as to who corporations serve and benefit. Prosperity presents a paradigm shift, revealing tomorrow's corporation today. It marks the start of a new age of enlightenment, which will stimulate the sensibilities of all who care about the role of business in society. * Guy Jubb, former Global Head of Governance and Stewardship, Standard Life Investments *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a timely and highly insightful treatise on the urgent need to revisit today's misguided and simplistic views on the purpose of the corporation. It is a significant contribution addressing the growing economic and social challenges confronting us today. * Cyrus Ardelan, Chairman, Citigroup Global Markets Ltd *\u003cbr\u003eProsperity makes a limpidly clear and convincing case for an urgent re-think of the role of business in society. The fifty years since Friedman gave the doctrine of 'shareholder value' totemic significance have seen the interests of proprietors, governments and communities diverge. This has produced unacceptable inequalities in outcomes and shocking destruction of the environment. The arguments Colin makes for radical reform of the role of the corporation in society are compelling, and rooted in common sense and fairness. I hope that many others involved in defining the purpose of their businesses learn as much from Prosperity as I have. * Peter Norris, Chairman of Virgin Group *\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most pressing questions facing the world today is 'What is the role of the corporation in society?' Thanks to Professor Colin Mayer we now have a definitive answer: the corporation's role is to fulfill its purpose. In an intellectual and very readable tour de force, Professor Mayer brings to bear an astonishing range of academic disciplines to present a very practical framework for how company's need to be managed today.

Current approaches to social change, which rely on industrial models of production and power to solve social problems, are not helping. In fact, they are designed to entrench the status quo. In The Systems Work of Social Change, Cynthia Rayner and François Bonnici draw on two hundred years of history and a treasure trove of stories of committed social changemakers to uncover principles and practices for social change that radically depart from these approaches.Rather than delivering solutions, these principles and practices focus on the process of change itself. Through rich storytelling and lucid analysis, Rayner and Bonnici show that connection, context, and power sit at the heart of the change process, ensuring broader agency for people and communities to create social systems that are responsive and representative in a rapidly changing world. Simple yet profound, this \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRayner and Bonnici demonstrate the power of building institutions capable of integrated analysis and adaptive learning, as well as challenge us to confront old ways of thinking that may have served us in an earlier era but clearly no longer do so. * Alex Counts, Stanford Social Innovation Review *\u003cbr\u003eFor those around the world who aspire to change our social, environmental, and economic systems to improve society, Bonnici and Rayner's book is an indispensable read. Building on both research and experience, they uncover the principles and practices of systems change through rich examples that span the globe. With special attention to the role of context and power, this book is a roadmap for deep change in tackling today's multiple crises around the world. * Julie Battilana, Alan L. Gleitsman Professor of Social Innovation, Harvard Kennedy School; Founder and Faculty Chair of the Social Innovation and Change Initiative at HKS *\u003cbr\u003eFrançois Bonnici and Cynthia Rayner have researched, distilled, and fast forwarded two hundred years of social change-making to present innovative, highly workable solutions that can guide us to achieving 21st century changes that benefit the planet and its inhabitants. As they present so clearly and compellingly, it's not necessarily the outcomes, but rather the journey toward reaching them, that can make the most impact. Nuanced and profound, The Systems Work of Social Change is the \"rethink\" we need right now to chart a better path for community, social, and economic development worldwide. Social change should now more aptly be referred to as \"The Systems Work of Social Change.\" * Frank Beadle de Palomo, President and Chief Executive Officer, mothers2mothers *\u003cbr\u003eI loved reading this book! Cynthia Rayner and François Bonnici have done a great job in combining complex academic concepts with an easy to read style for practitioners. The authors go beyond the theoretical discussions of systems change to provide principles and practices that really are the \"how-to\" of systems work. They encourage funders, social entrepreneurs, and policymakers not only to do something radically different but to understand our social systems in radically different ways. I strongly recommend you read it – it will set you thinking differently... * Jeroo Billimoria, Founder and Serial Social Entrepreneur, Catalyst 2030 and One Family Foundation *\u003cbr\u003eAddressing inequalities and deep-rooted injustices in our society requires a clear vision of the world we want and a process to get there. In The Systems Work of Social Change, Cynthia and Francois clearly articulate the key lessons and principles by which we can get there. A must read for those who believe that together we can build a better world! * Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director, UNAIDS *\u003cbr\u003eCynthia Rayner and François Bonnici have written an important book. It will guide those who work in and think about systems change for a generation. It moves us beyond a recognition that things are complex and connected and towards an understanding of values and action in change-work. A breakthrough book. * Stephan Chambers, Director, Marshall Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science *\u003cbr\u003eThe authors have drawn from eight organisations on almost every continent that are examples of what Mahatma Gandhi called 'constructive action'. He believed that all such action showed us the path towards an alternative vision of society based on truth, non-violence and social justice. By analysing their own experiences with candour, and reflecting on the experiences of others, what emerges is a lucidly written and cogently argued book putting forward the case for a systemic approach to social change. They argue that a fundamental restructuring of social and environmental systems is necessary to undo the deep inequalities, multi-level injustices and the global environmental crisis. * Mirai Chatterjee, Chairperson, Self-Employed Women's Association Cooperative Federation *\u003cbr\u003eA deceptively simple question lies at the heart of Cynthia Rayner and François Bonnici's vital new book: how do organizations create social change? Rayner and Bonnici lay out a textured view of social systems in all their depth, complexity and scale and do what all good leaders and learners do when confronted with an abundance of data—they change their minds. The authors ultimately conclude that systems can't be fixed but they can be changed through the systems work of organizations ensuring key actors are connected to one another, acting with creativity and dynamism and thus able to make decisions in responsive and representative ways. The Systems Work of Social Change walks the reader through the principles and practices of systems work and what it takes to support this approach to social change but it is also nothing less than a radical reframing of how we all need to work moving forward to reimagine a just future. * Cheryl L. Dorsey, President, Echoing Green *\u003cbr\u003eRayner and Bonnici have given us a powerful and incisive guide to the work of systems change. They show us that the process of change matters as much, if not more, than outcomes—where our deepest work is to cultivate values, collectives, and equitable reconfigurations of power. In a world beset by wicked problems, this book illuminates a way forward. * Alnoor Ebrahim, Professor, The Fletcher School at Tufts University, and author of Measuring Social Change: Performance and Accountability in a Complex World *\u003cbr\u003eThe work of transformational social change is never linear, often messy, and inherently pluralistic. François Bonnici and Cynthia Rayner take us on a journey through the experiences of eight remarkable organizations—many of whom are Skoll Foundation Awardees. Each offers a unique perspective on the complex work of durable, meaningful, systems-level change. Particularly illuminating is the authors' contribution in illustrating the major mind shift needed from funders to effectively identify, evaluate, and support the \"invisible value\" created by systems actors. Doers and donors alike will find in this book indispensable tools for ambitious, forward-thinking systemic work. * Ambassador Don Gips ret., Chief Executive Officer, Skoll Foundation *\u003cbr\u003eSystems Thinking' is all the rage, but too often, it is just that – thinking, without much practical consequence for those of us intent on changing the world. Building on a deep study of practical exercises in social change, Bonnici and Rayner have helped fill the gap, charting an original and important approach to 'Systems Work' that will be of great utility to social change activists and practitioners everywhere.' * Duncan Green, Senior Strategic Adviser, Oxfam GB and author of How Change Happens and From Poverty to Power *\u003cbr\u003eSystemic problems require systemic solutions. Fortunately, there is increasing recognition among social purpose organizations, funders, and policymakers that a systems mindset and systems change approach will be necessary to successfully address the world's most important problems. But it raises important practical questions: How specifically do organizations create systemic social change? How do funders best identify and support systems changing organizations? On these critical questions, Rayner and Bonnici provide a fabulous and practical set of insights and lessons on \"systems work\" extracted from some of the world's most successful social innovators. If you are a \"Doer\" with aspirations of making systems-changing social impact, or a Donor who desires to support work that creates social impact at population scale, this book is a must-read. * Tim Hanstad, CEO, Chandler Foundation *\u003cbr\u003eSystems change is much in the water of social change these days. Yet many remain unclear about what systems change is and how to do it. Through insightful, practical frameworks and clear, compelling examples Bonnici and Rayner get to the heart of the \"work\" of systems change. In doing so, they have created an indispensable guide for social change aspirants everywhere. * John Kania, Founder and Executive Director, Collective Change Lab *\u003cbr\u003eSystems are defined not by their parts, but by the relationships between the parts. Yet too few discussions of systemic social change are grounded in deep understanding of human relationships, and too many are coloured by ideas of industrial production that don't necessarily apply. This book not only explains why this is true, but howwe should be working based on that knowledge. Highly recommended. * Harvey Koh, Managing Director, FSG and Board Member, Social Innovation Exchange *\u003cbr\u003eTransformational systems work is anything but linear – leaders doing this work need the flexibility to adapt their approaches to their particular context. François Bonnici and Cynthia Rayner offer perspectives on both the complexity of systems work and the most helpful principles and practices. I especially appreciated the discussions about reconfiguring power towards those who have lived experienced of issues and are rooted in the communities where they seek change. Highly recommend this book for practitioners and funders alike. * Olivia Leland, Founder and CEO of Co-Impact *\u003cbr\u003eWhat a delight to read this book!!! Exactly what we need, no bullshit but an honest taking stock of what system work entails. Cynthia Rayner and François Bonnici provide us with principles and practices for systems work distilled from their deep engagement with organizations doing social change. A must read for researchers and practitioners interested in system change. * Johanna Mair, Professor of Organization, Strategy and Leadership, Hertie School of Governance, Academic Editor of the Stanford Social Innovation Review *\u003cbr\u003eGreat insights! The Systems Work of Social Change shines a needed light on some of the key factors that power systems change: connection, context and power. The authors combine practical experience and research, providing a critical balance by grounding the theoretical in the real struggle of those engaged in improving lives in their communities. From the perspective of our social change networks in Latin America, I can say that the conclusions and recommendations ring true, and I am sure they will be relevant to those engaged in similar causes around the world. * Sean McKaughan, Board Chair Fundación Avina and author of CollaborAction: A Practical Guide to Promoting Sustainability *\u003cbr\u003eFor too long, social problems have been viewed as a set of unfortunate circumstances to be remedied by the goodwill and good deeds of the privileged. Nelson Mandela notably stated, \"Poverty is not an accident. Like slavery and apartheid, it is man-made and can be removed by the actions of human beings.\" The Systems Work of Social Change unpacks how our approach to social change is a product of the industrial era, characterized by attempts to correct complex problems with complicated technical solutions. By listening to and observing the deep work of organizations that place mothers, families, young people, teachers and informal workers at the forefront of decision making, Rayner and Bonnici demonstrate that the collective power and voice of the most marginalized groups are in fact central to societal transformation. * Dr Precious Moloi-Motsepe, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Motsepe Foundation and Chancellor, University of Cape Town *\u003cbr\u003eA very readable and thoughtful overview of systems change which has the great virtue of rooting it in the messy complexities of the real world and avoiding the abstractions and over-generalisation that is all too common in writing on this subject. Most social change that really matters involves trying to shift systems. It's always hard and often frustrating, especially if you start with little power or money. But this is a practical guide that reminds us that even the most apparently immovable interests can be overcome and even the most apparently intractable problems can be solved. * Professor Sir Geoff Mulgan, University College London *\u003cbr\u003eCynthia Rayner and François Bonnici have taken the oft quoted but seldom understood concepts of systems thinking and shown how they can, and have, been translated into practical action by social impact practitioners at both global and local levels. * James Mwangi, Executive Director of The Dalberg Group *\u003cbr\u003eRayner and Bonnici provide an easy to read and detailed guide on how to create drive change via systems work. Starting with an in-depth analysis on past lessons learned over the last 240 years, this work artfully presents various key elements that navigate the process of change. With a strong acknowledgement on the importance of context, the authors provide clear and concise guidelines on how organisations can harness the current momentum for lasting, systematic change. * Kennedy Odede, Co-Founder and CEO, SHOFCO and Global Alliance for Communities *\u003cbr\u003eThe rise of modern states and markets notwithstanding, even today swathes of humanity are adrift abode flimsy rafts of circumstance on oceans of misfortune. Condemned to hope for rescue, these among us inhabit a despairing parallel reality. Hearteningly, some manage to navigate to calmer waters or even the safety of shore. It is from their unlikely stories that Rayner and Bonnici distill fundamental lessons about sustained systemic social change. If aspiration, ability, and action are the keys to self-sate life's chronic needs, the authors show us that it is by connecting, contextualizing, and configuring proximate social, political, and economic energies that \"primary actors\" can foster suitable systems of self-support. This is a timely and important contribution to our understanding of societal progress. * Subi Rangan, The Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Court Endowed Chair in Societal Progress, INSEAD *\u003cbr\u003eIn an era when all of us in the social sector are being asked to do more with less, talking about changing systems is easy but doing it is not. This book unpacks the nuances, gets grounded and shares real insights. It helps you to think big without ignoring the smaller, unsexy details of ground delivery. Must read. * Asif Saleh, Executive Director, BRAC *\u003cbr\u003edemonstrating that an inclusive and sustainable future is possible. This book presents nothing less than a blueprint for deep social change in a post-Covid world. * Klaus Schwab, Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum \u0026amp; Hilde Schwab, Chairperson, Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship *\u003cbr\u003eCynthia Rayner and François Bonnici masterfully synthesize deep reflections and insights on the significance, direction, and legitimacy of social change and the complexities and efforts involved in the work of change. An important text for theory and practice that transcends the usual vague system change discourses. * Christian Seelos, Distinguished Fellow and Director of the Global Innovation for Impact Lab, Stanford University Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society *\u003cbr\u003eThe time of looking around the world and fixing all that is broken is past. The profound social and ecological imbalances that characterize our modern world are inseparable from the level of consciousness out of which they have arisen - that is, our level of consciousness. What Rayner and Bonnici call \"systems work\" illuminates the almost always overlooked source of deep change - as biologist Humberto Maturana puts it, \"it is only through reflection that we change our history.\" * Peter Senge, Founder of the Society for Organizational Learning and author of The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning *\u003cbr\u003eThe Systems Work of Social Change contrasts technical and transformational approaches to systems change: top down, product-first approaches and bottom-up, people-first approaches. Building on a rich set of case studies from around the globe, drawing fully upon the broad literature of systems change, and reflecting deeply on their own experiences, Rayner and Bonnici provide a set of clear and pragmatic insights for people grappling with solving the world's problems large and small. While I am an experienced social entrepreneur—and Dean of a school that emphasizes systems change—I found myself learning so much as I read this extraordinary book from cover to cover. In a world facing so many challenges, The System Work of Social Change distils lessons that provide insight and hope. * Professor Peter Tufano, Peter Moores Dean, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford *\u003cbr\u003eDespite significant socio-economic progress in the post-war era, we have also seen rising inequality, power concentration, and a shortsighted use of natural resources. In The Systems Work of Social Change, Bonnici and Rayner highlight how leading organizations can steer private and public cooperation, pioneer new policy models, and harness fourth industrial revolution technologies, Through a global lens and the lived experiences of leading social entrepreneurs, François Bonnici and Cynthia Rayner bring us a view of how social change does happen. It is a book that speaks to the moment - the deep and critical structural challenges and the hope for future change as we continue to work for the good of all. Most importantly, they remind us that it is people who build systems and therefore people who have the ability to reimagine and build them anew. * Diana Wells, President Emerita, Ashoka *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Working in Systems Part I.

Is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) just window dressing or is it a contradiction in terms? In this Very Short Introduction, Jeremy Moon shows that CSR holds much more value than it first appears, and shows how it has come of age in recent years. Illustrating the sorts of CSR investments companies make, the ways in which they practice CSR, and the challenges this brings, Moon considers how the principles migrated from their US roots to become a global business phenomenon. Exploring the place of CSR in different economic, social, political, and managerial contexts, this short guide considers the many positives, but also challenges, that CSR can present for companies, societies, and governments worldwide.

Should companies be run for profit or purpose? In this ground-breaking book, acclaimed finance professor and TED speaker Alex Edmans shows it''s not an either-or choice. Drawing from real-life examples spanning industries and countries, Edmans demonstrates that purpose-driven businesses are consistently more successful in the long-term. But a purposeful company must navigate difficult trade-offs and take tough decisions. Edmans provides a roadmap for company leaders to put purpose into practice, and overcome the hurdles that hold many back. He explains how investors can discern which companies are truly purposeful and how to engage with them to unleash value for both shareholders and society. And he highlights the role that citizens can play in reshaping business to improve our world. This edition has been thoroughly updated to include the pandemic, the latest research, and new insights on how to make purpose a reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'I do not know whether capitalism is in crisis. But I do know Alex Edmans' superb book makes the case, compellingly and comprehensively, for a radical rethink of how companies operate and indeed why they exist. It is the definitive account of the analytical case for responsible business, but is at the same time practical and grounded in real business experience. It is a tour de force.' Andy Haldane, Chief Economist, Bank of England\u003cbr\u003e'Politicians are calling for large companies to be regulated or split up. In this compelling book Alex Edmans argues that there is indeed a problem with corporate behavior but that the solution may be simpler: change corporate purpose so that companies focus on growing the pie rather than grabbing more of it. Edmans's arguments are a powerful and persuasive antidote to much of the conventional wisdom about the corporate world.' Oliver Hart, 2016 Nobel Laureate in Economics\u003cbr\u003e'This is a brilliant and timely book, taking the business case for responsible capitalism to a whole new level. Edmans provides a rigorous, evidence-based approach, exploring numerous angles around how businesses can (and, as he shows, must) combine profit-seeking with purpose as well as the role investors and other stakeholders can play in driving a genuine win-win approach. He tackles counter-arguments head-on and has the courage to expose examples of virtue-signalling that falsely discredit responsible businesses. Citing case studies collated over decades, it's a great read, too, offering fascinating examples well beyond the usual suspects. Grow the Pie really has the power to convince the sceptics as well as encourage advocates consider new ways to embed the approach further in their businesses.' Dame Helena Morrissey, financier and founder of the 30% Club\u003cbr\u003e'This is a must-read book for anyone interested in reforming capitalism - particularly in its role of serving wider society. The book is grounded in academic evidence, but the ideas are highly practical, and recognize the need for business to be profitable as well as purposeful. Most companies have inspiring mission statements; Edmans provides a concrete framework for translating them into actual practice. He does not shy away from acknowledging the challenges with running a purpose-driven company - balancing multiple objectives, achieving investor buy-in, and making decisions where the key criteria cannot be quantified. Instead, he tackles them head-on, giving clear guidelines on how to navigate tough decisions, which he illustrates with powerful examples.' Dominic Barton, former Global Managing Partner of McKinsey\u003cbr\u003e'The quest to encourage companies to adopt positive values, for the benefit of all stakeholders, sometimes seems long on vision and short on firepower. Edmans, a finance professor, provides plenty of ammunition to support the idea that visionary leaders can expand the whole 'pie' in pursuit of purpose and profit.' Andrew Hill, Financial Times, Best Books of 2020\u003cbr\u003e'This is an original and important book that will help transform how business sees itself - and how we see business. Alex Edmans in his passionate advocacy of 'Pieconomics' challenges us all to adopt a mindset and unity of purpose in which all business actions contribute to pie growing. The implications are radical and far-reaching. Read it: it will challenge how you think.' Will Hutton, Principal of Hertford College, Oxford and Observer columnist\u003cbr\u003e'In Grow the Pie, Alex Edmans has provided us with a valuable contribution to contemporary thinking about how business can be a force for good in society. His thought-provoking, often contrarian, ideas are rigorously logical, delving beneath the superficial analyses we often see, which assume correlation implies causation. And Alex's engaging storytelling brings the principles of 'Pieconomics' to life with examples of prominent business people - not just those who understand the benefits of growing the pie - but also those who don't.' Sir James G. M. Wates, Chairman of Wates Group\u003cbr\u003e'Alex Edmans has done a great service to society by showing that business doesn't have to be a zero-sum game if we focus more on growing the pie rather than maximizing our slice of it. This is capitalism with a human face.' Andrew Lo, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\u003cbr\u003e'Just as Freakonomics encouraged readers to look beyond the conventional wisdom that underlies many public policies, now Professor Alex Edmans introduces the concept of Pieconomics. In Grow the Pie, he challenges popular rhetoric that the free enterprise system is broadly detracting from society. Instead, through many and varied examples, he offers an alternate lens through which we can interpret what constitutes responsible business. In this thoroughly readable book, Edmans debunks mythologies about corporate behavior and offers a new vocabulary by which we can have principled discussions about the role of business in society.  A 'must read' for leaders in government, business and the media that reports on both.' Paula Rosput, Reynolds, Director of GE, BP, and BAE\u003cbr\u003e'This book is a must-read for asset owners, fund managers and for the boards and executives who lead business enterprise. It provides evidence-based analysis and guidance on how the influence of well-designed stewardship can yield benefit in terms of both financial returns for savers and investors and returns for all stakeholders in a way that benefits society as a whole.' Sir David Walker, former Chairman of Barclays and Morgan Stanley International, author of the Walker Review\u003cbr\u003e'Alex Edmans has produced rigorous evidence that the choice between people and profits is a false dichotomy.

Adam Grant, author of Originals and Give and Take and host of the TED podcast WorkLife\u003cbr\u003e'This uplifting book provides powerful examples, as well as evidence, that socially responsible businesses generate even higher long term profits than corporations focused on short term profit maximisation. Value is created particularly in new economy enterprises by employee purpose, creation of brand and reputation which drives customer preference. The findings reflects my own real world experiences of striving for business excellence across the global LifeSciences industry.' David Pyott, former Chairman and CEO of Allergan\u003cbr\u003e'Finance Professor Alex Edmans defines his purpose in life as 'to use rigorous research to influence the practice of business.' This book, Grow the Pie, demonstrates his manifest success in fulfilling that purpose. Edmans mobilizes evidence - not anecdotes - to make a case, both accessible and compelling, for policies and practices that increase the value available for all stakeholders versus simply and simplistically maximizing profit. Edmans' critical contribution is to reframe arguments about business and capitalism from an all too prevalent short-term zero-sum game to collaborative games where, over time, all can benefit.' Bill Janeway, Warburg Pincus\u003cbr\u003e'Alex Edmans provides robust evidence against the claim that businesses must choose between shareholder value and social responsibility.

Introducing the Idea: 1. The pie-growing mentality: a new approach to business that works for both investors and society; 2. Growing the pie doesn't aim to maximise profits – but often does: freeing a company to take more investments, ultimately driving its success: 3. Growing the pie doesn't mean growing the enterprise: three principles to guide trade-offs and which projects to turn down; 4. Does pieconomics work?: data – not wishful thinking – shows that companies can both do good and do well; Part II. What Grows the Pie? Exploring the Evidence: 5. Incentives: rewarding long-term value creation while deterring short-term gaming; 6. Stewardship: the value of engaged investors that both support and challenge management; 7. Repurchases: investing with restraint, releasing resources to create value elsewhere in society; Part III. How to Grow the Pie? Putting it into practice: 8. Enterprises: the power of purpose and how to make it real; 9. Investors: turning stewardship from a policy into a practice; 10. Citizens: how individuals can act and shape business, rather than be acted upon; Part IV. The Bigger Picture: 11.

In Professional Ethics: A Trust-Based Approach, Terrence Kelly argues that such duties come from the unique trust that professionals must invite, develop, and honor from those they serve. Without trust, professional practice would be significantly impoverishedboth ethically and instrumentally and the autonomy enjoyed by many professions would evaporate. Professionals therefore have good reasons to be effectively trustworthy that is, to develop the virtues necessary to be responsive to the vulnerability of those they serve; and effectively communicate that responsiveness to others.

Kelly argues for a rich and pragmatic account of trust that focuses on the responsibilities both of individual practitioners and of the profession as a whole.  He advocates for an account of trust that is both instrumental and dispositional, one that makes a strong case for the view that trustworthiness is linked to authenticity, the “I\/Thou” relationship, and the development of an ethical community.
