Corporate Citizenship
|
"The
UN Global Compact is an enormously important corporate citizenship
initiative with participation from business, the UN, labour
organisations and NGOs. For those people who are interested
in how the Global Compact has evolved in its first few years
this well researched book is a crucial source of information
and learning."
- David Bell, Head of People, Pearson Group
Member of Advisory Group to the UN Secretary General on the
Global Compact
"This is must reading for anyone wishing to keep up with
the rapidly changing, and increasingly important, challenges
of corporate citizenship."
- John Gerard
Ruggie, Kirkpatrick Professor of International Affairs, Harvard
University
"Finally we have a book on corporate citizenship that is
neither spin nor a punt for the 'the one right way'. Steeped
in rich experience and scholarship, this level-headed, but passionately
written piece of work may well mark the coming of age of the
corporate citizenship movement.
This is also an indispensable handbook for business leaders
in the developing world who struggle to comprehend the complexities
of corporate responses to the multiple global crises that so
threaten the environments within which business operates. Either
read this book, or remain bewildered by the meaningless babble
that dominates discussion about this crucial subject."
- Professor Mark Swilling, Spier Institute, University of Stellenbosch,
South Africa
"In essence, Living Corporate Citizenship explores the
relationship between globalisation and corporate citizenship
and provides a useful guide to the UN Global Compact and other
key international initiatives. For anyone trying to understand
the corporate social responsibility and corporate citizenship
agendas, this book offers useful case studies, thoughtful reflection
and sound guidance."
- Dr Vernon Jennings, Vice President Ethics and Social Responsibility,
Stakeholder Relations, Novo Nordisk A/S
"Living Corporate Citizenship provides a useful roadmap
for companies that are moving along the path toward greater
corporate responsibility. Though lively case studies, the book
illustrates just how managers can successfully lead their companies
into living up to the nine principles of the Global Compact
and provides a helpful analysis of the array of responsibility
initiatives that emerged in recent years."
- Sandra
Waddock, Professor of Management, Carroll School of Management,
Senior Research Fellow, Center for Corporate Citizenship, Boston
College

Raising
A Ladder To The Moon
Malcolm McIntosh
"New perspectives, the acknowledgement of
paradox in complexity, and a good dose of humour are essential
elements of learning. Malcolm McIntosh's new book has provided
us with all three." - Dr Simon Zadek, Chief Executive, AccountAbility,
Institute of Social & Ethical AccountAbility
‘There is no more honest voice than Malcolm
McIntosh in the over-hyped and contradictory field of corporate
responsibility.’ – Ed Mayo, Director of the New Economics
Foundation, ‘Think Tank of the Year 2002’
‘This book presents a rare and potent combination
of personal empathy, philosophical insight and informed realism.
It goes beyond the stereotypical "heroes and villains"
approach to corporate responsibility, acknowledging the pragmatic
reality of dilemmas, ambiguities and (as the title implies) complexities.
This book speaks to the heart, stimulates the mind and engages
the spirit.’ – Wayne Visser, Research Fellow, International
Centre for International Corporate Social Responsibility and co-author
of 'Beyond Reasonable Greed'
‘I am all for humility and conviviality
– two qualities called for by Malcolm McIntosh in this interesting
take on corporate responsibility. He calls for corporate initiatives
to make space for paradox, surprise and the unexpected. There
is plenty of that in these thoughtful pages.’ – Roger
Cowe, journalist specialising in corporate responsibility, author
of 'No Scruples?'
‘Raising a Ladder to The Moon guides us
gently on a journey of personal reflection, natural and social
sciences, business case studies and sensibilities, towards a view
of corporations not as 'concrete' enterprises but as dynamic and
potentially adaptive entities, inextricably connected with their
supply chains and associated people and cultures. … Fascinating,
provoking, surprising, and a stimulus to novel and strategic thinking
that I can thoroughly recommend.’ – Dr Mark Everard,
Director of Science, The Natural Step (UK office)
"Every
so often a book comes along that refocuses our perception of the
world around us; this is one of them. In this book Malcolm McIntosh
comes to the world of business from a new direction that integrates
his experience around the world as a businessman, journalist and
academic. The result is a convincing thesis on the way business
needs to be conducted in the 21st century.” - Dr Alan Feest,
Ecologist and educator, Engineering Management Group, University
of Bristol."
'Just when you thought that corporate responsibility practice
and performance are being bedded in, Malcolm McIntosh raises a
new set of challenges. In essence he asks for much greater and
different thought about the human and environmental implications
of global business.' - Professor Jeremy Moon, Director, International
Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility, Nottingham University
