{"product_id":"9781908875068","title":"Business Frontiers: Social Responsibility, Sustainable Development and Economic Justice","description":"Business operates at the frontiers of society – seeking out new territories to explore and exploit, imagining fresh new ways to meet age old needs, innovating the artefacts that become the legacy of civilizations, reinventing the rituals which shape acceptable social behaviour, and changing the way we spend our precious time. But what happens when the landscape itself changes? As the world globalises, power is shifting – from the plush boardrooms to dusty streets, from the financial market casino to the internet connected community, from the annual general meetings to the mass activist campaigns, from the office towers of the North to the crowded pavements of the South. Business faces its greatest challenge yet. Confronted with the triple imperatives of social responsibility, environmental sustainability and economic justice, business will need to adapt or die. Those companies that manage to discard the obsolete business models from the last century and embrace the new paradigm will survive and thrive. Those who fail to register or admit that the climate has irrevocably changed will join the dinosaurs in the museum of business history.\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003ePROLOGUE - Reflecting on Responsibility\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION - Feeling the Tension\u003cbr\u003eBUSINESS PARADIGMS\u003cbr\u003eTransforming Business: The Power of Perception\u003cbr\u003eCommunity Business: Embracing True Service\u003cbr\u003eHolistic Business: In Search of Synergy\u003cbr\u003eLessons of Nature: Productivity through Interdependence\u003cbr\u003eAfrocentric Business: A Southern Perspective\u003cbr\u003eECONOMIC JUSTICE\u003cbr\u003eBeyond Growth: Measures of Progress\u003cbr\u003eEthical Investment: Money With Values\u003cbr\u003eCommunity Economics: Local Empowerment\u003cbr\u003eSustainable Economics: Beyond the Predatory Economy\u003cbr\u003eEcological Economics: Grassroots Reform in South Africa\u003cbr\u003eSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT\u003cbr\u003eSustainability Gaps: Challenges that Remain\u003cbr\u003eBeyond Greed: From Accounting to Accountability\u003cbr\u003eSustainable Companies: Shapeshifting Business\u003cbr\u003eGreening Business: A Post-Apartheid Scorecard\u003cbr\u003eCorporate Sustainability: A Ten Year South African Review\u003cbr\u003eCORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY\u003cbr\u003eHearts and Minds: The Corporate Battle\u003cbr\u003eDeveloping Countries: Exploding the Myths\u003cbr\u003eWork and Social Responsibility: Quest for Meaning\u003cbr\u003eCSR in Africa: A Unique Definition?\u003cbr\u003eCorporate Citizenship: Is South Africa World Class?\u003cbr\u003eFUTURE VISIONS\u003cbr\u003eFuture Images: Beyond the Information Age\u003cbr\u003eCorporate Sustainability: Scenarios for the Future\u003cbr\u003eCorporate Social Responsibility: An Agenda for the Future\u003cbr\u003eSustainable Business Futures: Ten Predictions\u003cbr\u003eUbuntu Capitalism: A South African Vision\u003cbr\u003ePERSONAL INSPIRATION\u003cbr\u003eHuman Ecology: A Scottish Odyssey\u003cbr\u003eConnecting Earth and Sky: Remarkable Stories\u003cbr\u003ePara-Ecology and Ecokinesis: Frontiers of Environmental Science?\u003cbr\u003eTree of Life: Roots, Shoots and Fruits\u003cbr\u003eQuest for Gold: A Parable\u003cbr\u003eEPILOGUE - The Poetry of Business\u003cbr\u003eAuthor Profile","brand":"Kaleidoscope Futures Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163867463920,"sku":"9781908875068","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781908875068_p0.jpg?v=1763622369","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781908875068","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
