1.0 out of 5 stars Wholly Mammoth, 2 Sep 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The Civil Corporation: The New Economy of Corporate Citizenship (Paperback)
The topic of this book is large, so admittedly it is difficult to cover it all in one volume. Unfortionately, the part of the topic which is covered is unbearably wholly and leaves the reader with little real insight. The book's academic footprints may be large, but they seem to be leading us into the fog.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking and challenging, 2 Mar 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Civil Corporation: The New Economy of Corporate Citizenship (Hardcover)
This book is about the way businesses can and should be a greater force for good in the world. The book is one of the best around on the subject of corporate social responsibility -- unafraid to challenge received wisdom, sacred cows and wishful thinking, the book is rigourous and clearly written. Simon Zadek outlines the challenges, the practical solutions that are being developed and the limitations and the problems remaining for the burgeoning corporate social responsibility movement. This book fizzes with ideas and examples.

5.0 out of 5 stars Up-to-date report on the corporate accountability movement , 30 Sep 2008
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Some economists say that the purpose of corporations is simple: to earn profitable returns on their capital investments. All else is incidental, even superfluous. This might be termed the Milton Friedman approach, for the famous Chicago-school economist. However, others contend that corporations, particularly global ones, must assume responsibility for "sustainable economic development." If corporations don't, they argue, who will? Without concerted corporate action, the earth will become polluted, and sooner rather than later, global warming will increase, with calamitous effects. Poverty and hunger will mount. The superrich will live in guarded enclaves, cordoned off from the hellish and chaotic lives of the majority. In Simon Zadek's award-winning book, the ethicist and visionary examines corporate social and environmental responsibility and provides a practical prescription for meaningful, positive changes. getAbstract says Zadek's book is required reading for executives, public policy makers, academics and others who ponder the role of corporations in creating a sustainable world economy.
