Business ethics and social responsibility Books

Book SynopsisTrade Review‘Business schools can be institutional leaders in reshaping regional and national economies in support of inclusive and environmentally-sensitive growth. But for this to happen, business school faculty and administrators need to take a long hard look at what is currently being taught and practiced and reflect on how it might curtail real or lasting institutional change. This book offers a refreshing mix of introspection and humility, illuminating options for on-going institutional reform—at once bold and actionable.’ -- Nichola Lowe, University of Minnesota, US‘‘Business Schools are very often teaching the sort of capitalism that is now creating climate change, inequality and populism. If we can't shut them down, then the least that could be done is to take their important responsibilities to our collective future seriously. This book is an important contribution to forcing them to do that.’ -- Martin Parker, University of Bristol Business School, UKTable of ContentsContents: Foreword I: towards a responsible business school – challenges for teaching, research, and innovation xvi Ola Kvaløy Foreword II: it’s time to radically re-think the business school xix Carl Rhodes Introduction to Practicing Responsibility in Business Schools: Implications for Teaching, Research, and Innovation 1 Professor Bjørn Terje Asheim, Associate Professor Thomas Laudal, and Professor Reidar J.

Book SynopsisTrade Review‘Sustainability in business is complex because of the interdependencies and interconnectedness to other elements of the firm’s core business. The Handbook on the Business of Sustainability is a compilation of chapters that constitute a “call to action” on the business aspects of sustainable growth. It brings forward novel concepts to help businesses think through the critical issues. I have no doubt it will be an invaluable resource to academics, practitioners, and policymakers.’ -- Erika H. James, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, US‘Sustainable growth is perhaps the single most important issue facing humanity. Management research is yet to comprehensively map out the opportunities for business. In this Handbook of sustainable business, George, Haas, Joshi, McGahan and Tracey have convened the leading scholarly voices. This book will undoubtedly become a key reference for business and sustainable growth.’ -- Mauro F. Guillen, Cambridge Judge Business School, UK‘This Handbook brings together over 70 prominent thought leaders on sustainability, and provides a much needed framework that simplifies the complexity of sustainable business into four clear themes: (1) organizing for sustainability, (2) implementing sustainable development, (3) sustainability in practice, and (4) measuring outcomes and social impact. The Handbook will certainly generate discussion and trigger the next generation of ideas and research evidence to guide businesses.’ -- Sarah A.

Book SynopsisTrade Review‘For over 30 years a plethora of scholars and practitioners of sustainability – including myself – turned to the firm, and their collaborative initiatives with stakeholders, in the hopes of offering efficient and effective ways to address the myriad of environmental challenges facing the planet. As this important tome by three leading corporate sustainability scholars point out – the hopes that building the “business case” for sustainability would lead to “win win” outcomes did not come to pass: from an array of measures from the climate crisis to mass species extinctions – the world is now much worse off than it was when we collectively turned to corporate sustainability governance for solutions.As a corrective, Barnett, Henriques and Husted make a compelling, and ironic call for “bringing government back in”. What makes their argument refreshing, and important, is that this doesn’t mean jettisoning corporations as playing an important role in advancing sustainability – but rather the “business case” for doing so.The result is a compelling and important argument for those seeking to draw on government, companies and society as a means to ameliorate, rather than exacerbate, some of the world’s most pressing ecological challenges.A profoundly important book.’ -- Benjamin William Cashore, National University of Singapore‘This book casts a much needed critical eye on the mantra of the win–win scenario, the idea that business can do well economically by doing good for society and the environment. The reality is far more complex and, as the authors rightly point out, “The self-interested actions of independent firms operating in deregulated global markets will not add up to a sustainable world.” What is needed is the fresh and sober look at business sustainability that this book provides; its promises, premises, realities and possibilities. Before business and the market can play its proper role in solving our sustainability challenges, this book makes the case that we need to rethink the proper role of government in resetting the structures of the market. This book is a welcome addition to the ongoing discussion on this very important topic, written by three accomplished scholars in this topic.’ -- Andrew Hoffman, University of Michigan, USA and author of “Management as a Calling: Leading Business, Serving Society”Table of ContentsContents: Preface PART I CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY: PREMISES AND PROMISES 1.

Jonathan O´Brien shows us how to weave Category management and SRM together and use it as leverage to enable sustainable supply chains. Sustainable Procurement is undoubtedly one of the most important sources of knowledge for our own transformation to sustainable sourcing." * Andreas Takacs, Chief Procurement Officer, Green Cargo AB *"This will undoubtedly become a core and classic book for practitioners and students - and indeed for anyone interested in the contribution procurement can make to sustainability issues.

But how? Jonathan O'Brien's Sustainable Procurement provides comprehensive insights into the tools, tactics, and strategies procurement teams can put into practice to drive CSR best practices and measure their results." * Philip Ideson, Founder and Managing Director, Art of Procurement *"As concerns about anthropogenic climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution and social impacts have become more common, global organisations both in the public and private sectors have shifted to embrace sustainable practices and policies. However, many organisations have none or under-developed sustainable procurement programmes and thus are ill-equipped to achieve these ambitions. Jonathan O'Brien has provided the much-needed insights and practical tools to help organisations and procurement professionals define and implement sustainable procurement programmes that yield desired outcomes for all stakeholders, whilst simultaneously uplifting the mission of procurement as an enabler of strategic intents." * Vusi Fele, Group Chief Procurement Officer, Absa Group *"Talk of sustainability is not new, but operational progress continues to lag behind aspiration and vision. In this passionately written book, Jonathan O'Brien makes the case for the sustainability imperative, demonstrates why progress cannot be made without coordinated efforts from procurement and supply chain professionals, and turns previously abstract guidance into an actionable, achievable mission." * Kelly Barner, Head of Content and Operations, Art of Procurement *"Sustainability is an era defining opportunity for procurement. It is the strategic imperative that will turn failed SRM initiatives into successful programmes and will cement action and transformation for the betterment of the function and for the future of our planet. This book acts as a practical roadmap that translates greenwashing and greenwishing into evidence based action. A must read for all procurement and sustainability professionals today." * Mark Perera, CEO & Founder, Vizibl *"Sustainable procurement is a topic on every procurement leader's agenda, but the path forward is often unclear.

Book SynopsisThis book outlines the creative process of making environmental management decisions using the approach called Structured Decision Making. It is a short introductory guide to this popular form of decision making and is aimed at environmental managers and scientists. This is a distinctly pragmatic label given to ways for helping individuals and groups think through tough multidimensional choices characterized by uncertain science, diverse stakeholders, and difficult tradeoffs. This is the everyday reality of environmental management, yet many important decisions currently are made on an ad hoc basis that lacks a solid value-based foundation, ignores key information, and results in selection of an inferior alternative. Making progress in a way that is rigorous, inclusive, defensible and transparent requires combining analytical methods drawn from the decision sciences and applied ecology with deliberative insights from cognitive psychology, facilitation and negoTrade Review"I recommend this book to anyone who must function at the interface between environmental science and decision making. Even if you do not have the opportunity to implement the full structured decision-making process, it will give you a better idea of how to think about your role and those of the other parties. The authors write clearly and forcefully." (Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management (IEAM)), 1 October 2012) "I highly recommend the groundbreaking and very accessible book Structured Decision Making: A Practical Guide to Environmental Management Choices by Robin Gregory, Lee Failing, Michael Harstone, Graham Long, Tim McDaniels, Dan Ohlson, to anyone in resource management, risk analysis, land use planning, industry leadership, environmental NGOs, facilitation and negotiation, government, policy making, academia, and undergraduate or graduate studies who is seeking a clear and concise approach to developing workable solutions to even the most challenging environmental problems."

Book SynopsisExplores ethical implications of the practice of debt. By placing debt in the context of anthropology, philosophy, economics, and the ethical traditions provided by the Abrahamic religions, Ilsup Ahn holds that debt was originally a form of gift, a gift that was intended as a means to serve humanity.Trade ReviewEver since the 2008 financial crisis, the issue of increasing private and public debts has become topical in the field of the humanities and social sciences. Ilsup Ahn's Just Debt: Theology, Ethics, and Neoliberalism contributes to an already lively debate by situating the discussion on the terrain of religious morality." - Jean François Bissonnette, Reading Religion "Ahn impressively crafts an ethical discussion that is wide-ranging, engaging and readable, and draws on diverse voices and traditions. It should broadly interest social ethicists, economists and philosophers. His compelling proposal for 'just debt' balances realism and hope, and seems a feasible and timely intervention. Numerous examples and case studies winsomely illustrate his argument." Jacob Rollison, Studies in Christian Ethics "This is an important and well-researched book that expands a conversation about wealth inequalities and poverty among theologians, ethicists, and religious leaders. It will be of particular interest to leaders in the ecumenical movement." - Elizabeth Hinson-Hasty, Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology "The author does what many theorists find difficult in that he is able to hold in tension a systematic critique of neoliberalism alongside a hopeful vision of a reconstructed economy of debt which 'preserves social cohesion and solidarity.' This book is a wonderful resource for both advanced undergraduate and graduate-level classes on economics viewed from the lens of religious ethics." - B. Scott Stephens, Religious Studies Review "The book offers a helpful introduction to complex issues, and is marked by admirable symmetry within and among its chapters. Furthermore, in his exposition and evaluation, Ahn strikes a tone that is warmly passionate and grounded in Christian conviction, without resorting to illogical hyperbole or ideological shrillness. As a result, scholars from several disciplines (including comparative religion, anthropology, and political philosophy), as well as Christians who simply desire to learn more about economic ethics, will discover in Just Debt a compelling read." - Joshua Beckett, Christian Scholars Review "…Ahn's book is an important resource for readers concerned with global debt and economic justice, as well as those interested in applying interreligious scholarship to social ethics." - Andrew Stone Porter, Journal of the Society of Christian EthicsTable of Contents Introduction 1. The History and Taxonomy of Amoral Debt 2. Neoliberal Financialization and the Idea of Just Debt 3. Unpayable Debt and the Ethics of Default and Bankruptcy 4.

Book SynopsisCompanies are increasingly facing intense pressures to address stakeholder demands from every direction: consumers want socially responsible products; employees want meaningful work; investors now screen on environmental, social, and governance criteria; "clicktivists" create social media storms over company missteps. CEOs now realize that their companies must be social as well as commercial actors, but stakeholder pressures often create trade-offs with demands to deliver financial performance to shareholders. How can companies respond while avoiding simple "greenwashing" or "pinkwashing"? This book lays out a roadmap for organizational leaders who have hit the limits of the supposed win-win of shared value to explore how companies can cope with real trade-offs, innovating around them or even thriving within them. Suggesting that the shared-value mindset may actually get in the way of progress, bestselling author Sarah Kaplan shows in The 360° Corporation how trade-offs, rather than being confusing or problematic, can actually be the source of organizational resilience and transformation.Trade Review"If you want to understand the keys to truly great corporations today, read Sarah Kaplan's The 360° Corporation. Based on more than a decade of research and work with the world's most innovative creative companies, Kaplan shows how the key to sustainable and enduring success lies in effectively engaging all stakeholders and managing complex tradeoffs. A must-read for CEOs, directors, executives, and future business leaders."—Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class"There is a burning need for companies to engage with a variety of stakeholders, but doing so is costly and creates thorny tradeoffs. So how do we do it? This profoundly important book provides a fresh perspective on that question. It's a brilliant, indispensable guide for business leaders—and anyone else hoping to shape the role of corporations in society."—András Tilcsik, Canada Research Chair in Strategy, Organizations, and Society, University of Toronto"Bestselling author and award-winning researcher Sarah Kaplan offers a wise guide for business leaders facing apparently impossible demands and tough choices in their environments today. Rather than simply looking to manage trade-offs or seeking fast win-wins, she reveals how companies can take a more difficult but ultimately transformational path: embracing the tensions to co-create new models with their key stakeholders."—Tanya Menon, co-author of Stop Spending, Start Managing: Strategies to Transform Wasteful Habits"As business leaders, we evaluate and make trade-offs every day. Kaplan has prepared a cogent guidebook to help turn these events into strategic opportunities to capture value. The 360° Corporation outlines the critical criteria and a process of inquiry needed to make better business decisions, especially in today's ever-changing stakeholder environment."—Dave Stangis, Chief Sustainability Officer and Vice President of Corporate Responsibility, Campbell Soup Company, Entrepreneur-in-Residence and Senior Fellow in Social Innovation at Babson College"Using organizational realities, this book puts leveraging tradeoffs instead of romanticizing shared values at the center stage of managerial decision-making. The 360° Corporation offers rare insights on how to combine humility, inspiration, and aspiration in business. A must-read for anyone interested in the potential of companies to do more than generate profits."—Johanna Mair, Professor at the Hertie School of Governance, Co-Director of the Global Innovation for Impact Lab, Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society"Today, sustainability is on the agenda in every boardroom. Most executives have come around to the idea that corporations need to do more than just maximize profit—but they don't know how. Sarah Kaplan's book provides a clear roadmap to this goal. As she says, there are no simple solutions here; however, she sets out the tensions and trade-offs with clarity and with many fascinating examples. This book is essential for executives and advisors who are looking to take corporate purpose and sustainability seriously."—Julian Birkinshaw, Professor and Deputy Dean, London Business School"The 360° Corporation does not dodge the question of cost. Rethinking business models and experimenting withinnovation can be hugely expensive—there is no easy way to become a '360°' corporation....But for those keen to try, with Kaplan's detailed guidelines and compelling examples of how companies such as Nike have benefited themselves and stakeholders with this approach, what is left, as she says, is 'a leap of faith.'"—Antonia Cindy, Financial Times"[This] book achieves the goals it sets out elegantly. For those interested in an overarching, approachable, and engaging overview of corporate social responsibility, and particularly a stakeholder approach, this is a great read. I would highly recommend it to managers and students who are struggling with how to approach managing for stakeholders while keeping an eye on the bottom line."—Jeffrey G.

Book SynopsisRecent years have seen a number of whistleblowers risk their liberty to expose illegal and corrupt behaviour. Some have heralded their bravery; others see them as traitors. Can there be a moral duty to emulate their example and blow the whistle? In this book, leading political philosophers Emanuela Ceva and Michele Bocchiola draw on well-known cases, such as those of Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning, to probe the difference between permissible and dutiful whistleblowing. They argue that, insofar as whistleblowing is understood as an individual act of dissent, it falls short of constituting a duty, although it can be praiseworthy. Whistleblowing should, they contend, be seen as an institutional duty, embedded within the organizational practices of public accountability. This concise book will be invaluable for students and scholars of applied political theory, and political and professional ethics.Trade Review‘Ceva and Bocchiola have produced a timely, engaging, and insightful analysis of whistleblowing as a duty of public accountability, not a matter of personal ethics. It is a major contribution to political ethics.’Candice Delmas, Northeastern University ‘Is Whistleblowing A Duty? is a deeply important contribution to the fields of political theory and professional ethics.

Book SynopsisSHORTLISTED FOR THE BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2022 Does ‘woke capitalism’ improve capitalism’s image or does it threaten the future of democracy? From Nike’s support for Colin Kaepernick, to Gillette’s engagement with the toxic masculinity debate, the 21st century has seen a sharp increase in corporations taking over public morality, a phenomenon which has come to be known as ‘woke capitalism’. Carl Rhodes takes us on a lively and fascinating history of woke capitalism – from 1950s corporate social responsibility, through 1980s neoliberalism, tracing it alongside the adoption and mutation of the term ‘woke’ from Black American culture – and brings us right up to current-day debates. By examining the political causes that woke capitalism has co-opted, and the social causes that it has not, he argues that this surreptitious extension of capitalism has serious implications for us all.Trade Review“The workplace has become politicised as never before and companies are struggling to adjust to the demands of younger consumers and employees… [Woke Capitalism] examines the history of this phenomenon — from corporate social responsibility, through neoliberalism and the debates about the topic — as well as the political causes it has adopted and the implications for all of us.” Financial Times"Carl Rhodes explores how the corporate world’s calculated embrace of social justice poses a significant societal threat. This book not only unveils the hypocrisies and self-serving nature of ‘woke capitalism’, but also its pernicious effect on democracy."
