"Strategic thinkers have the gift of looking at the world and being
able to frame, focus and define the most complex problems in
comprehensible, action-oriented terms. Sandra Waddock and Malcolm
McIntosh have written a book that frames the issues, focuses the mind
on what matters most, and defines where we need to go as a human
beings with conscience, intelligence and courage. Their strategic view
rests on an impressive body of scientific knowledge and practical
wisdom."
James E. Post (from the Foreword)
The return to business-as-usual after the economic earthquake that
rocked financial markets, wrecked banks and brought to light the
grotesque distortions of casino capitalism on people and planet must
be resisted. A new form of capitalism is both necessary and possible
as some forward-thinking political, business and civil society leaders
have now recognised. This book is about the myriad problems that we
face and the systemic changes that are necessary for all enterprises
in whatever sector and however constituted to operate within
sustainable limits, to lower their ecological footprint, to enhance
social equity, and to develop a sense of futurity. Waddock and
McIntosh argue that enterprise, innovation and creativity, like
conversation, caring and sharing, are part of what it means to be
human. They argue that we need to redefine our relationship with
commerce to reconcile our relationship with the Earth.
"SEE Change: Making the Transition to a Sustainable Enterprise
Economy" documents some of the changes that are already in progress
and provides optimism that a sustainable enterprise economy geared to
innovation, creativity, problem-solving, entrepreneurialism and
enthusiasm for life can produce wealth, preserve the natural
environment and nurture social capital.
