Description
Shows how environmental and recent economic crises have stemmed from failed corporate strategies and provides specific global solutions. * *Powerful new ways to improve business growth while also improving the quality of life. *Discusses the oil price spike, the world food shortage, and the sub-prime crisis as failed business strategies and provides detailed solutions. *New discussions of The Water Initiative (a start up company in Mexico focused on the underserved); and Enterprising Health (a similar US based project). The multiple economic crises of the past two years demonstrate more clearly than ever that the age of 'mercenary' capitalism is over: we must finally embark on a new age of sustainable, stakeholder-based capitalism. While enlightened executives and policymakers understand the critical need for change, few have tangible plans for making it happen. Stuart L. Hart, one of the world's leading experts on sustainable capitalism, presents clear roadmaps and strategies for identifying sustainable products and technologies that can drive new growth while also helping to solve today's key social and environmental problems. This edition contains * *Thoroughly updated case studies and examples. *Extensive coverage of incubating clean, green technologies at the 'base of the pyramid' and 'trickling them up' to the top. *A new Preface demonstrating how recent economic crises stem from unsustainable policies and strategies and what can be done about it. *New analyses of oil price spikes and the sub-prime crisis through the lens of sustainable capitalism. *Updates on breakthrough 'bottom of the pyramid' initiatives in the U.S. and beyond
