The Collaboratory: A Co-creative Stakeholder Engagement Process for Solving Complex Problems

Edited by Katrin Muff

July 2014 | paperback | ISBN 978-1-783531-43-1

More and more people today recognize that the problems we face will require an order of magnitude increase in our capacity to collaborate across all manner of institutional, national, sectoral, and cultural borders. But I fear the gap between rhetoric and reality will sink this ship before if ever gets out of port - unless the emerging insights from master practitioners like those in The Collaboratory spread quickly.  -- Peter Senge, MIT and the Society for Organizational Learning

The Collaboratory is a handbook for experienced or aspiring practitioners in all fields of change. This book is about empowering ordinary people to make a difference in the world. It explores the transformation that emerges when groups working on similar issues collaborate rather than compete.

Socially Responsive Organizations and the Challenge of Poverty

Edited by Milenko Gudić, Al Rosenbloom and Carole Parkes

July 2014 | hardback | ISBN 978-1-83530-59-5

Our aim as business school Deans cannot be to fight poverty in order to save any economic model or system. Our aim should be to help to develop a political and financial mind-set and infrastructure to ensure that nobody has to suffer from poverty ... The book offers a great contribution in its examples of rising living standards and quality of life. These examples can inspire professors of management and business leaders all over the world.  -- Prof. Danica Purg, CEEMAN President, President of the IEDC-Bled School of Management

Socially Responsive Organizations and The Challenge of Poverty aims to provide both researchers and practitioners with the most wide-ranging coverage yet published on how business can be a positive force in alleviating poverty and how management education needs to adapt to this increasingly crucial prerogative.

Rethinking the Enterprise: Competitiveness, Technology and Society

Philippe de Woot

June 2014 | paperback | ISBN 978-1-783531-46-2

The author invites us to rethink the enterprise in its contribution to society rather than as a machine to produce profit while the stakeholders are reduced to "externalities" ... The author deploys an immense wisdom and delivers a message of hope... A striking book. -- Bruno Colmant, Louvain School of Management

This provocative thought-piece from world leader in corporate responsibility Philippe de Woot suggests that an evolution of the system is possible, but it requires a more radical approach. It is only by changing its culture in depth that enterprise can restore the ethical and political dimension to its acts.
