"This is the cutting-edge textbook on a managerial approach to corporate responsibility. Students and executives will benefit a great deal by studying the cases and best practices that are here. It's a terrific book."
"Over the last years, I have seen the concepts and lessons explained in this book become increasingly essential for business success. In my view, for organizations to be optimally prepared for the future, executing on Argenti's main principle is essential: to incorporate CR into every aspect of the business strategy. Finally, we have a practical and comprehensive framework for business students on one of the most fundamental topics leaders need to focus on in today’s and tomorrow’s reality."
"Professor Argenti's book fills a void in the current business education curriculum. To be sure, he provides a well-researched and thoughtful discussion of the many manifestations of corporate responsibility in today's leading businesses. More importantly, however, he guides the reader through the process of knitting these various opportunities together into a coherent business strategy and, critically, communicating strategy and performance with stakeholders in an authentic manner."
