    "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.
