Synopsis
Business as usual is an inadequate response to the problems emerging in the world around us. Effectively addressing today's increasingly complex and pressing global issues requires a fundamental change in the role corporations play in the world. Stewardship entails a profound understanding and acceptance of the challenges that result from the organization's interdependence with the societal and ecological contexts in which it operates and embracing the challenges to be a force for building a viable future. Corporate metrics of success, business practices, and organizational designs are inadequate for the task of addressing these emergent challenges. Such an agenda represents fundamental change for the corporate world, and even the most advanced corporations consider themselves to be in the starting block of this transition. This book provides research-based--but at the same time practical--guidance on how companies can resolve the paradoxical challenges they face and what they need to become. How can they be both profitable and responsible, effective and ethical, sustainable and adaptable? It explores what businesses are doing, what they can and should do to effectively respond to external challenges, and focuses on how leaders can create cultures, strategies, and designs far beyond business as usual., Stewardship entails a profound understanding and acceptance of the challenges that result from the organization's interdependence with the societal and ecological contexts in which it operates-and of what it takes to embrace the challenges to be a force for building a viable future. This book dares to ask 'why' business leaders should embrace stewardship in the current market where profit reigns supreme. A shift in approach represents fundamental change for the corporate world, and even the most advanced corporations consider themselves to be in the starting block of this transition. The book sets out the practical ways in which corporate stewardship can be achieved through embedding new approaches across the different functions of a business. This book, written by the leading thinkers in sustainability research, provides practical guidance on how companies can resolve the paradoxical challenges they face. How can they be at the same time profitable and responsible, effective and ethical, sustainable and adaptable? It explores what businesses are doing, what they can and should do to effectively respond to external challenges, and focuses on how leaders can create cultures, strategies, and designs far beyond "business as usual".Stewards must not only make proper current use of that which they hold in trust, they also must leave it in better condition for use by future generations. Corporate Stewardship challenges managers, executives, and directors of global corporations to think and act as stewards of both their organizations and the physical and social environments in which they operate., Stewardship entails a profound understanding and acceptance of the challenges that result from the organization's interdependence with the societal and ecological contexts in which it operates--and of what it takes to embrace the challenges to be a force for building a viable future.

Corporate Stewardship challenges managers, executives, and directors of global corporations to think and act as stewards of both their organizations and the physical and social environments in which they operate., This book highlights the need for global corporations to operate in fundamentally new ways, including the creation of strategies, organization designs, and policies that are simultaneously profitable, ethical, socially and environmentally responsible. It provides a deep understanding of the emerging corporate role as stewards of the future, and of the profound transition that is required.
