Insider trading, fraudulent accounting, outlandish executive pay and perks-- a steady stream of scandals scars the business landscape. But the corporate crisis is as much spiritual as it is financial. More than ever, the time is ripe for Saving the Corporate Soul. In this hard-hitting, thought-provoking book, David Batstone shows that a corporation has the potential to act with soul when it aligns its missions with the values of its workers and puts its resources at the service of the people it employs and the public it serves. He offers companies and their employees eight sound principles for \"doing the right thing\" and-- citing examples from firms like Timberland, General Motors, Clif Bar, and BP-- offers evidence that principled companies will excel financially over the long haul.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: Values Make the Company.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eLeadership and Governance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eThe directors and executives of a company will align their personal interests with the fate of stakeholders and act in a responsible way to ensure the viability of the enterprise.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eTransparency and Integrity.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A company’s business operations will be transparent to shareholders, employees, and the public, and its executives will stand by the integrity of their decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eCommunity.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A company will think of itself as part of a community as well as a market.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eCustomer Care.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A company will represent its products honestly to customers and honor their dignity up to and beyond a transaction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 5:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eValuing the Worker.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The worker will be treated as a valuable team member, not just a hired hand.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 6\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e: Respect for the Environment.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The environment will be treated as a silent stakeholder, a party to which the company is wholly accountable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 7:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eEquality and Diversity.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A company will strive for balance, diversity, and equality in its relationships with workers, customers, and suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 8:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eGlobalization.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A company will pursue international trade and production based on respect for the rights of workers and citizens of trade partner nations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion: From Success to Significance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Author.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52417749418264,"sku":"9781118044056","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781118044056.jpg?v=1784506407","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/saving-the-corporate-soul-and-who-knows-maybe-your-own-eight-principles-for-creating-and-preserving-integrity-and-profitability-without-selling-out-paperback-softback-9781118044056","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
