Book SynopsisIs management a profession? Should it be? Can it be? This title reveals how such questions have driven business education and shaped American management and society. It shows that university-based business schools were founded to train a professional class of managers in the mold of doctors and lawyers but have retreated from that goal.Trade ReviewWinner of the 2009 Gold Medal Book Award in Career, Axiom Business Winner of the 2008 Max Weber Award for Best Book, Organization, Occupations and Work Section of the American Sociological Association Winner of the 2007 Best Professional/Scholarly Book in Business, Finance and Management, Association of American Publishers "If Prof. Khurana wanted to torment business--school deans, alumni and current students, he couldn't have picked a better way. Prof. Khurana has identified an important imbalance. In the current environment, many brilliant young MBAs don't aspire to be corporate chief executive officers, who struggle to uphold their agendas against pressure from all sides. These students would rather be consultants who earn big money fomenting change. Better yet, they want to be the powerful investors who hire and fire CEOs."--George Anders, The Wall Street Journal "The book is extremely well written and provides a detailed historical account of US business education from the 1880s to the present day...This text will help many of us in business schools to think about who we are and where we need to go in future. Rakesh Khurana has done a great service to management education with this scholarly and important book."--Gary L. Cooper, Times Higher Education Supplement "A fascinating history of business education."--The Economist "Is corporate management a real profession? The intellectual rigor that legitimized business schools and turned the M.B.A. into a recognized credential has fallen by the wayside, argues Khurana, an associate professor at Harvard Business School. Instead of producing young professionals, he says, business schools are treating students as consumers and their education as a commodity. Exhaustively researched, Khurana's book examines the birth of the managerial class, the rise of the business school as an academic institution and what he calls its recent deterioration. This failure has created a climate ripe for corruption, and Khurana issues a call to arms for business schools to take back the high ground."--Tiffany Sharples, Time Magazine "Khurana's is an insightful work of sociology and of history. It is about the business school's many transformations in relation to professions and disciplines; in relation to the changing face of capitalism through its progressive, depressive, managerial and investor phases; in relation to societal and industrial expectations; and in relation to public interest and self-interest."--Malcolm Gillies, Times Higher Education "Khurana's meticulously researched account ends with a call for renewal of the idea of management as a profession... Coming as it does out of Harvard, the most iconic of business schools, From Higher Aims ... could hardly be a more provocative and timely intervention... Anyone remotely interested in management and its future should get hold of it--and ignore its lessons at their peril."--Simon Caulkin, Observer "Khurana's From Higher Aims to Hired Hands is an important and surprisingly disparaging look at business-school education in the U.S. from the late 19th century to the present...In the new volume, he strikes closer to home, concluding that 'fundamental questions exist as to whether business schools retain any genuine academic or societal mission'...As Khurana supplies layer upon layer of evidence in this admittedly dense work, it becomes increasingly difficult to disagree with his conclusions."--Hardy Green, BusinessWeek "Khurana presents his argument in rich detail and the book is worth reading by anyone interested in the current trends in the commercialization of academia."--Donald Stabile, EH.net "Rakesh Khurana's sweeping history of American business schools offers a bold overview and a moral message."--Neil Fligstein, American Historical Review "Khurana's criticism is measured--and is the more damning for it. His book is an impressive tour of the social and intellectual history of American university business schools...Drawing on rich archive material, Khurana traces how the fledgling American business schools confronted these challenges with varying strategies during the early 1900s and the Depression, the postwar boom years and recent decades of freewheeling capitalism. The book is, however, more than just an historical odyssey; it is also a heartfelt plea for business schools to rediscover their higher purpose. The university-based business schools were founded to train a professional class of managers akin to doctors and lawyers. But, he argues forcefully, they have retreated from that goal."--Des Dearlove, Times (London) "Rarely does one have the pleasure of reading a scholarly work as complete and as comprehensive as From Higher Aims to Hired Hands. Khurana presents a well-crafted social history of the plight of business school education in the context of a broader framework of American higher educationSKhurana exposes inadequacies in current business education programs and advocates for needed reforms."--J.B. Kashner, Choice "This is a powerful, compelling, and well-researched narrative... Far from a nihilistic rant about the state of American business education, Khurana paints a sympathetic but critical portrait of what this education has become."--Kevin T. Leicht, Journal of Higher Education "It is not uncommon today for critics to ask if business schools have lost their way, but Harvard's Rakesh Khurana poses the question against such a vivid, detailed, and compulsively researched historical background that it becomes more provocative than ever."--Biz Ed Magazine "Khurana has produced an excellent institutional history, albeit one in which many of the ingredients were already well-known from earlier accounts... However, these separate accounts had not been stitched together over such a broad canvas as Khurana constructs. The book should be compulsory reading for all Deans of business schools with a concern to learn from history."--Stewart Clegg, Australian Review of Public Affairs "In From Higher Aims to Hired Hands, Khurana, a management professor at the Harvard Business School best known for his writing on leadership, has produced an instant classic... [I]t is an evenhanded, comprehensive, and exhaustively documented work demonstrating how the history of the American business, reflecting the evolution from 19th-century entrepreneurial capitalism to mid-20th-century managerial capitalism to today's investor capitalism. Criticisms of today's business schools abound, but Khurana provides the historical perspective needed to understand how those institutions became what they are."--Strategy + Business "[U]ntil the publication of From Higher Aims to Hired Hands, nobody had provided such a detailed historical survey leading to conclusions of great significance for American academia and, implicitly, for American corporations... Khurana's book will no doubt continue to stimulate debate on both sides of the Atlantic about both managerial professionalism and the role business schools ought to play in a modern, knowledge-based society."--John Wilson, Business History Review "From Higher Aims to Hired Hands provides an invaluable resource for those of us attempting to understand how the university continues to be shaped and transformed by a confluence of economic forces and political interests. For this reason, Khurana's book deserves to be widely read within academia, in the business school and beyond."--Nick Butler, Ephemera "[W]hether or not one agrees with the author's argument as to what went wrong and how it might have gone right, this is a highly important work that should be read by anyone with either an interest in the history of American business schools and American management, or a concern for their future roles in our society."--Richard Marens, Eastern Economic Journal "The book is an impressive and thouroughly researched work reviewing the social history of American business education."--Andrew May, Professional Manager "Not only is this book fully documented and well-written, but its author also achieves here a truly complete social science analysis... It is a pleasure to discover such a meticulous work that is not only methodologically strong but is also conceptually powerful. The quality of this historical work is enriched by its developments in social sciences which allow an exceptional production... [T]he work done here by Khurana remains both strong and riveting."--Yoann Bazin, Society and Business ReviewTable of ContentsIntroduction: Business Education and the Social Transformation of American Management 1 I: The Professionalization Project in American Business Education, 1881-1941 1: An Occupation in Search of Legitimacy 23 2: Ideas of Order: Science, the Professions, and the University in Late Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-Century America 51 3: The Invention of the University-Based Business School 87 4: "A Very Ill-Defined Institution": The Business School as Aspiring Professional School 137 II: The Institutionalization of Business Schools, 1941-1970 5: The Changing Institutional Field in the Postwar Era 195 6: Disciplining the Business School Faculty: The Impact of the Foundations 233 III: The Triumph of the Market and the Abandonment of the Professionalization Project, 1970-the Present 7: Unintended Consequences: The Post-Ford Business School and the Fall of Managerialism 291 8: Business Schools in the Marketplace 333 Epilogue: Ideas of Order Revisited:Markets, Hierarchies, and Communities 363 Acknowledgments 385 Bibliographic and Methods Note 387 Notes 397 Selected Bibliography 483 Index 509

Book SynopsisFinancial disasters - and stories of the greedy bankers who precipitated them - seem to underscore the idea that self-interest will always trump concerns for the greater good. But is it valid? This title challenges the notion that doing well is accomplished only at the expense of doing good.Trade Review"This book is short, accessible and thought-provoking... Frank draws heavily from game theory and evolutionary biology to explain why do-gooders work for less and firms that don't squeeze suppliers and cheat customers profit over the long run."--Washington Post "Moral behavior is not irrational ... Frank insists. The challenge is to define self-interest in a manner capacious enough to accommodate the real motives for people's choices. Frank does this with a mixture of Darwinian science, psychology, and flexible common sense."--Laura Secor, Boston Globe "What Price the Moral High Ground? Is wide-ranging and well-written."--John J. DiIulio, Jr., The Weekly Standard "[Frank's] vision is one that allows people to strive to meet their chosen goals and promotes the common good in an ordered cosmos--which is exactly where many of us want to live."--Merrill Matthews, Business EconomicsTable of ContentsIntroduction: Infectious Good vii Part I.

Book SynopsisIncentives can be found everywhere - in schools, businesses, factories, and government - influencing people's choices about almost everything, from financial decisions and tobacco use to exercise and child rearing. This title shows that, like all other forms of power, incentives can be subject to abuse.Trade ReviewOne of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2012 "Strings Attached is a thoughtful ... look at the encroaching power of the market and its mechanisms in a range of human activity. What does it mean to see life as a series of transactions? The question is relevant far beyond the book's specific examples."--Nancy F. Koehn, New York Times "We're used to relying on incentives. Academics face an incentive to publish papers, hedge fund managers have incentives to earn money for their clients, and if we don't pay our taxes we face the threat of sanctions, fines, and jail. The contribution of Ruth W. Grant in Strings Attached is to question the morality of these arrangements and their ubiquity in our lives."--Tyler Cowen, Science "Increasingly, authorities mistake freedom for choice... They manipulate, demean and corrupt in the name of a 'freedom' that is no freedom at all. [Grant's] ideas may or may not result in better public policy. But they ought to give us a richer idea of freedom."--Christopher Caldwell, Financial Times "I regard the book as illuminating. It may not give us all the right answers, but shows us how to ask all the right questions."--Jason Brennan, Public Choice "[This book] ought to appeal to ... everyone who wants a say over his or her own life and possesses a healthy skepticism towards schemes of stealthy power."--Andrew Sabl, Society "Increasingly, authorities mistake freedom for choice, Prof. Grant believes. They manipulate, demean and corrupt in the name of a 'freedom' that is no freedom at all. Her ideas may or may not result in better public policy. But they ought to give us a richer idea of freedom."--Christopher Caldwell, Financial Times "In a very interesting, helpful new book, Strings Attached, author Ruth W. Grant deals with incentives in all kinds of situations."--Psychology Today "In Strings Attached, Ruth W. Grant examines the history, language, and ethics of incentives, both in the workplace and the realm of public policy. Grant, a professor at Duke, considers incentives to be a form of power, right alongside force and persuasion as methods people can use to get someone else to do what they want."--Biz Ed Magazine "Grant examines the ethical implications of incentives, which she sees as a form of power... Grant's conclusion is an excellent summary of the deeper democratic values threatened by unanalyzed use of incentives in public policy. This is an important contribution to both ethics and public policy."--Choice "This book offers useful guidance about how to devise better incentives that direct people toward good choices without manipulating them."--Robert Mayer, Ethics "In Strings Attached, Grant provides a rich and nuanced analysis of the issue of incentives, while still being accessible for a general public interested in the subject. Not specifically aimed at a specialized academic readership, the book nonetheless provides a thorough historical, ethical, and political perspective on incentives that should prove of interest to scholars in bioethics."--Maude Laliberte, Bioethical Inquiry "Strings Attached makes you think ... and above all, [it is] timely. [It] contribute[s] something substantial ... and serve[s] as a reminder that the morality of markets and incentives is never a settled matter."--Raphael Calel, Economics and Philosophy "[I]n its assault on economic perspectives, it packs a powerful punch. And from start to finish, the lucidity and grace of the exposition are unconditionally admirable: I never fear that I can't figure out what Grant is saying, and these days too many theory books make me fearful in just that way. This clarity means the book would be a complete winner in the classroom."--Don Herzog, Political TheoryTable of ContentsPreface ix Acknowledgments xv CHAPTER ONE: Why Worry about Incentives? 1 CHAPTER TWO: Incentives Then and Now The Clock and the Engineer 14 CHAPTER THREE: "Incentives Talk" What Are Incentives Anyway? 31 CHAPTER FOUR: Ethical and Not So Ethical Incentives 45 CHAPTER FIVE: Applying Standards, Making Judgments 60 CHAPTER SIX: Getting Down to Cases --Plea Bargaining 76 --Recruiting Medical Research Subjects 86 --IMF Loan Conditions 101 -- Motivating Children to Learn 111 CHAPTER SEVEN: Beyond Voluntariness 123 CHAPTER EIGHT: A Different Kind of Conversation 133 Notes 141 References 171 Index 189

Book SynopsisA A lively and well written account of a neglected topic -- greed A Uses the topic of greed as a way to explore broader issues concerning the nature and development of modern societies A Written with a trade as well as an academic market in mind A Many illustrations and featured examples from historical and modern sources.Trade Review'Robertson's subject is the human catastrophe of a modern society built on separation and division, especially of the mind and the body. His method is to use a focus on greed as a means of conceptually reuniting meaning and feeling. Greed is in turn linked to the reality and metaphor of growth on which so much in modern society depends. This is not just imaginative; it is unique.' Keith Hart, King's College, Aberdeen 'Robertson daringly goes to the heart of the private and collective body in search of the dark forces of social and ecological destruction. This is no ordinary work, but an ambitious reach across discourses and vast time spans. He challenges us to think in fundamental ways about "growth", and how the very concept once misapplied leads to malignant outcomes.'Harvey Molotch, New York University "The book is a compelling and timely read -fast paced, at times quite playful, and decidedly passionate- in which the author develops a critique of anthropological theory, as well as of capitalism, by using greed as the analytical focal point...This is a finely crafted book that will readers much to consider through its provocative advocacy of a new moral economics" James H. McDonald, Anthropogical Theory Although it is fluent, engaged, and ocassionally funny, this is not an easy book. THat is because Robertson asks us to make a significant change in the ways that we as academics think about the world. It is worth the effort, though. The rewards are great." James G.

Book SynopsisAgainst Management argues that management is increasingly being seen as a problem, and not a solution. Martin Parker argues that managing is not the only way to organize and that managerialism is a global form of ideology, which is being used to justify considerable cruelty and inequality.Trade Review"At last the omnipotent Manager faces a serious and worthy opponent in Parker's Against Management. This is a sophisticated polemic that ought to be compulsory reading for all managers, management students and citizens." Keith Grint, Templeton College, Oxford "I really enjoyed reading this book. It is original; it is provocative; it is scholarly in a positive way. It is extraordinarily well written – lucid as well as witty."

A must-read for any student, manager, or entrepreneur trying to contribute in making a better world." * Francisco Guzman, Associate Professor, University of North Texas and Co-Editor of the Journal of Product and Brand Management *"In an age of understandable scepticism about brands, it is refreshing to see a more rounded view of branding being taken by Sandra Horlings and Nicholas Ind. Being a brand with a conscience isn't another gimmick but should be a way of life for a brand; a recognition that brands can improve our lives.

Nobody may say anymore: 'I didn't know how to do it'." * François Vincke, Member of the Brussels Bar, Vice-Chair ICC Commission Corporate Responsibility and Anti-corruption *"The engaging style of this book will take its audience beyond the word 'compliance' - seen as so negative by so many demonstrates how to win over hearts and minds.

Book SynopsisValues at Work is an analysis of organizational dynamics with wide-ranging implications in an age of market globalization. It looks at the challenges businesses face to maintain people-oriented work systems while remaining successful in the larger economy. George Cheney revisits the famous Mondragón worker-owned-and-governed cooperatives in the Basque Country of Spain to examine how that collection of innovative and democratic businesses is responding to the broad trend of marketization. The Mondragón cooperatives are changing in important ways as a direct result of both external pressures to be more competitive and the rise of consumerism, as well as through the modification of internal policies toward greater efficiency. One of the most remarkable aspects of the changes is that some of the same business slogans now heard around the globe are being adopted in this set of organizations renowned for its strongly held internal values, such as participatory democracy, solTrade ReviewCheney has identified a deadly fascinating dilemma: Mondragon's executives feel that they must grow or die: either meet and match foreign competition or be overwhelmed.... Cheney renders a valuable service by bringing new systemic concerns to the attention of the scholarly community and Mondragon leadership and by uncovering the process by which success and growth in any organization may ultimately corrupt its purpose and values. -- Jacquelyn Yates, Kent State University * International Journal of Politics and Ethics *In this thoughtful, well-written book Cheney eschews simplistic answers in favor of complex, thoughtful analysis. He raises important questions about the ability of socially conscious companies to operate in a world economy dominated by an ethos of unbridled competition. Rather than adopt a 'good-guys' versus 'bad-guys' approach, the author leaves it to the reader to weigh the long term consequences of unchecked economic development. * Choice *Cheney's book offers practical guidelines for value-based organizations engaging in today's market, who want to preserve their social integrity. * Organization Studies *Values at Work is a landmark contribution to our knowledge about workplace democracy. The clarity of writing, the richness of data, and the careful analysis make this book a must read for anyone interested in democratic participation in an organizational setting. -- Francois Cooren, University at Albany, SUNY * Management Communication Quarterly *Critically examines how one business... is dealing with external pressures to compete in the global market while working to revive its long-held values of workplace democracy within the new configuration of the customer-centered or market-driven firm. * Journal of Economic Literature *Values at Work is an ambitious theoretical and research study.... This is a worthwhile and interesting study, full of bright ideas about the future of work and employee participation. -- Peter Ackers, Loughborough University * American Journal of Sociology *

Book SynopsisRisky Business is a comprehensive look at Canada''s science-based policy and regulatory regime. It asks what risks Canadians might be exposed to as fiscal pressures strain the capacity of regulators in areas such as food, drugs, pesticides, fisheries, and the environment. The first part of this book focuses the reader''s attention on diverse and major themes and issues that pervade science-based regulatory regimes today. The second part suggests a framework for analysis and endeavours to present both sympathetic and critical perspectives on the inner-workings of regulatory departments and agencies in the area of the protection of human and environmental health and safety.Covering such topics as the organizational evolution of regulatory agencies, regulatory bodies'' changing sources and levels of funding, a review of the independence of science, and the increased potential for realization of risk, these essays point to the need for these regulators to operate with open

Book SynopsisThis book describes 45 psychological traps that every one of us fall prey to that cause us to act illegally or unethically.Trade Review"Examining the headline-making moral lapses at Enron, Tyco International, Adelphia, World Com and other less-than-ethical business locales in the light of numerous psychological experiments, clinical psychologist Hoyk and professor Hersey illustrate in 45 breezy but beneficial lessons how we all face and fall victim to "day-to-day ethical traps. ...As the authors note, "[g]ood intentions are not enough," and this guide provides a useful, easy-to-read antidote for our unwitting corruptibility." —Publishers Weekly"This book will not teach you how to be ethical, it will educate you to recognize the day-to-day ethical traps that we all face, analyze them and give the practical, usable information you need to respond in a way that supports good intention, fair decisions and abundant wealth. Whether you're a CEO, a lay person, an executive or a manager, knowledge of the traps described in this book will give you chance after chance to make substantial deposits in your self-esteem bank account." —From the Preface by Anthony Parinello, Author, Think & Sell Like A CEO"The Ethical Executive is a must read for everyone. This book is clearly not just for managers or leaders, but should be read by all so as to avoid the traps that are pointed out in the text. The Ethical Executive can give individuals the experience of coping with ethical dilemmas before they arise. The book is clear and practical, and hence a quick read. It will save readers a lot of grief they could face in the future by knowing how to avoid ethical traps." —Randolph A. Pohlman, Ph.D., Dean, H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship, Nova Southeastern University"If you rate yourself as more ethical than your colleagues, are you more likely than they are to act ethically in a real-world situation? To find the answer to this and many other interesting facts about ethical behavior, read this book. It is a delightful compendium of those impulses that lead perfectly good people to choose seemingly safe paths of no return—and a guide to avoiding the first steps on a potentially disastrous journey." —Leslie S. Greenberg, Professor, Department of Psychology, York University"If money is your only goal and that end justifies your means, dont buy this book. If personal character, ethical choices and self respect are integral aspects of your understanding of success, buy it. Dr. Hoyk and Dr. Hersey have gathered accessible wisdom to help you untangle the ethical knots of your job. They write to guide, encourage and help you in your choice to be true to the highest you know and aspire to."—Reverend Dr. H. William Gregory, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, University of Southern Maine"This timeless and important book is a must read for leaders at every level in the organization. Whether you are a seasoned CEO or just starting out in business, this book will provide a roadmap for navigating the minefields of psychological self-deception and illusions that can trap good people, even those with strong ethical values, into moving towards disaster. Buy this book. Read it. Apply its concepts, models and theories to your own situation. Give it to your children. It's that important!" —Stephen LaCivita, Associate Dean of Executive Education, The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business"Drs Hoyk and Hersey have provided highly practical ways of achieving sustainable profitability through building a solid ethical foundation for your business. You will find their suggestions will create a climate of cooperation and mutual trust that will make every employee in your firm willing to achieve their very best." —Dewey E. Johnson, Professor Emeritus, Craig School of Business, California State University, Fresno"I found this book to be refreshing. Rather than the academic posturing of ethical theory or the typical pabulum of business ethics rules, it approaches the potentials of unethical conduct in a concise, practical way. Readers will recognize many of the traps, but the book will both sensitize the reader to the traps and provide approaches that will keep them from getting caught in the traps. I recommend the book to all businesspeople."—John Stinson, Professor emeritus and former Dean, College of Business, Ohio UniversityTable of Contents@fmct:Contents @toc4:Acknowledgments xxx Foreword xxx @tocca:Anthony Parinello @toc2:Trapped! 1 Why Do Traps Exist, and What Are They? 000 Why This Isn't Just Another Business Ethics Book 000 A Word About Research 000 @toc1:Part I Primary Traps @toc2:Trap 1: Obedience to Authority 000 Trap 2: Small Steps 000 Sidestepping Responsibility 000 @toc3:Trap 3: Indirect Responsibility 000 Trap 4: Faceless Victims 000 Trap 5: Lost in the Group 000 @toc2:Trap 6: Competition 000 Self-Interest 000 @toc3:Trap 7: Tyranny of Goals 000 Trap 8: Money 000 Trap 9: Conflicts of Interest 000 @toc2:Trap 10: Conflicts of Loyalty 000 Trap 11 000 Trap 12: Conformity Pressure 000 Trap 13: "Don't Make Waves" 000 Trap 14: Self-Enhancement 000 Trap 15: Time Pressure 000 Trap 16: Decision Schemas 00 Trap 17: Enacting a Role 000 Trap 18: Power 000 Trap 19: Justification 000 Trap 20: Obligation 000 @toc1:Part II Defensive Traps @toc2:Annihilation of Guilt 000 @toc3:Trap 21: Anger 000 Trap 22: Going Numb 000 Trap 23: Alcohol 000 Trap 24: Desensitization 000 @toc2:Minimizing 000 @toc3:Trap 25: Reduction Words 000 Trap 26: Renaming 000 Traps 27 and 28: Advantageous Comparison and Zooming Out 000 Trap 29: "Everybody Does It" 000 Trap 30: "We Won't Get Caught" 000 Trap 31: "We Didn't Hurt Them That Bad" 000 Trap 32: Self-Serving Bias 000 @toc2:Trap 33: Addiction 000 Trap 34: Coworker Reactions 000 Trap 35: Established Impressions 000 Trap 36: Contempt for the Victim 000 Trap 37: Doing Is Believing 000 @toc1:Part III Personality Traps @toc2:Trap 38: Psychopathy 000 Traps 39 and 40: Poverty and Neglect 000 Trap 41: Low Self-Esteem 000 Trap 42: Authoritarianism 000 Trap 43: Social Dominance Orientation 000 Trap 44: Need for Closure 000 Trap 45: Empathy 000 @toc1:Part IV Analyzing Dilemmas @toc2:The Parable of the Sadhu 000 @toc3:Analysis 000 @toc3a:Lost in the Group 000 Tyranny of Goals 000 Time Pressure 000 Conflicts of Loyalty 000 Self-Serving Bias 000 Annihilation of Guilt 000 @toc2:Jonestown 000 @toc3:Analysis 000 @toc3a:Psychopathy 000 Obedience to Authority 000 Justification 000 Desensitization 000 Conformity 000 Conformity Pressure 000 Small Steps 000 Doing Is Believing 000 Renaming 000 @toc2:Final Words 000 @toc4:Notes 000 Index 000

Book SynopsisIn Good Company chronicles a transnational mining corporation's pursuit of corporate social responsibility, exploring what lies behind the movement's marriage of moral imperative and market discipline.Trade Review"This excellent book is a welcome addition to the growing anthropological literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and other forms of 'ethical capitalism' . . . This is a fascinating book, not only for its nuanced account of the internal workings of one company's CSR program, but also for its intelligent and critical engagement with broader questions of power, moral economy, and the workings of transnational companies in the neoliberal global economy." -- Dena Freeman * Critique of Anthropology *"In Good Company explores with nuance the 'doing good' aspect of corporate social responsibility while looking critically at the problems of letting the market rule. It is a key addition both to the emerging body of work on corporate social responsibility and to the study of development more generally." -- Deborah James"By tackling both the global plane of corporate social responsibility players and the structure of a single corporation, Rajak takes us on a fascinating journey. This is a particularly important book for our current moment. It demonstrates with great clarity not only the failures and false promises of corporate social responsibility but also its dangers.

Book SynopsisThis book traces the development, use, and marketing of drugs for children in the twentieth century. It illuminates the historical dimension of a clinical and policy issue with great contemporary significance—many of the drugs administered to children today have never been tested for safety and efficacy in the pediatric population. Trade Review"Cynthia Connolly, in this brilliant piece of scholarship, demonstrates not only that drug safety in children has often driven key moments in pharmaceutical regulation, but that issues regarding the logistics, ethics, and market priorities of testing pharmaceuticals in children have evolved and endured for over a century." -- Scott Podolsky * Harvard Medical School and author of The Antibiotic Era *"By exploring the historical context of children and drug therapy, Connolly is the first to link the historiography of pharmaceuticals with the history of childhood and health care. Children and Drug Safety is timely and will make significant contributions to scholarship in the history of health care." -- Heather Prescott * author of The Morning After: A History of Emergency Contraception in the United States *Making children’s medicines tasty makes the experience of being sick less stressful for kids, and helps doctors and parents get kids to take them peacefully. But there is also the danger, if they are too tasty, that kids will consume them in secret, and overdose. Children’s aspirin is a stark example of that. St. Joseph Aspirin for Children was released in 1947. It was orange-colored and orange-flavored and often advertised as “candy aspirin.” And “within a few years of its introduction, the incidence of aspirin poisoning in young children increased dramatically, almost five hundred percent,” writes Cynthia Connolly, a professor of nursing at the University of Pennsylvania who studies the history of pediatric health care. “I, myself, am a former aspirin-poisoned child,” Connolly told me. It happened in 1961 or 1962, when she was 3 or 4 years old, she says. “My parents kept it up high because they knew I loved it. It had a wonderful granular taste; it tastes like a SweeTart. One time when they weren’t looking, I got up there and got the St. Joseph Aspirin for Children, took almost the whole bottle, and then fell off the counter and broke my arm. While still holding the medicine by the way.” Her parents found her when she screamed, and she had to go to the hospital and get her stomach pumped—and her arm set. The dangers of candy aspirin led to the development of the safety cap, Connolly writes. And the pharmaceutical industry came to realize that it probably wasn’t a great idea to sell medicine as “candy.” -- Julie Beck * The Atlantic *‘Candy aspirin,’ safety caps, and the history of children’s drugs: excerpt of Children and Drug Safety by Cynthia Connolly on Penn Today * Penn Today *"New Scholarly Books: Weekly Book List, June 8," by Nina C.

Book SynopsisSheds new light on the potential for the fair trade market to reshape the world into a more socially-just placeTrade Review"BrownsBuying into Fair Tradeis a thoughtful, articulate, critical, and compelling study of limitations of potentials of fair trade, ethical consumption, and the many forces that make certain kinds of consumers and activists in this day and age." * Political and Legal Anthropology Review Online *"Buying into Fair Trade provides readers with insights into how consumption trends shape food cultures... [The author] examines the potential of fair trade to create a more socially just world, drawing on interviews, reality tour experiences, interactions with fair-trade advocates, and volunteering at Ten Thousand Villages, a company dedicated to promoting the fair trade of products made by artisans in developing countries." * Contexts *"Brown's sociologically sophisticated treatment of the symbolic, moral and practical aspects of fair trade is a significant advance over much of the literature. Highly recommended" -- Juliet Schor,author of True Wealth"In Buying into Fair Trade, Keith Brown explores how global consumers and entrepreneurs invest products from organic coffee beans to handmade jewelry with morality and meaning. Along the way we meet Third World reality tourists, sustainable coffee bar owners, social-justice activists, and conscientious consumers, all of whom negotiate the confusing contradictions between charity and commerce, altruism and authenticity." -- David Grazian,author of Blue Chicago: The Search for Authenticity in Urban Blues Clubs"Keith Brown turns a sympathetic yet critical eye on the new generation of consumers who want to buy morally rather than contribute to exploitation of indigenous producers and ruining the ecology. The ethical turn in markets is part social movement, part social construction of belief, part frontstage performance. Brown takes us inside the altruism and the contentions of this supply chain where emotions shape markets." -- Randall Collins,author of Interaction Ritual Chains and Violence: A Micro-Sociological Theory"The first book-length social science work to focus exclusively on the consumption side of fair trade, and as such it represents a much-needed contribution." -- Daniel Jaffe * American Journal of Sociology *Table of ContentsC o n t e n t sAcknowledgments vii1.

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.
