Content: Unternehmen, die sich heute gesellschaftliche Verantwortung (CSR) auf die Fahnen schreiben, haben folgendes Problem: Entweder man wirft ihnen vor, CSR opportunistisch als Marketinginstrument zu missbrauchen, oder sie gelten als sozialromantische Übergangsphänomene ohne ernsthafte wirtschaftliche Ambition. Good Works! wendet sich an Unternehmenslenker, die aus tiefer Überzeugung beides wollen: Gewinne erzielen und Gutes tun. Das Buch enthält zahlreiche praktische Impulse, wie gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Ziele ausbalanciert werden können. CSR ist längst kein Nice-to-have mehr. Es ist ein Must-do für alle Wirtschaftsvertreter, die auch in Zukunft ernst genommen werden, und gehört zum Spannendsten, was die Unternehmenswelt uns heute zu bieten hat. Immer mehr Unternehmen beweisen tagtäglich, dass es möglich ist, gleichzeitig etwas für eine bessere Welt und für die eigenen Bilanzen zu tun. Good Works! zeigt anhand aktueller Beispiele aus über 50 großer und mittelständischer Unternehmen weltweit - darunter Coca Cola, Nike, Patagonia, IBM, Genreral Electric u.a. - wie Unternehmen das Wohl der Allgemeinheit in ihr Marketing integrieren und Zynikern den Wind aus den Segeln nehmen können

Content: This book describes and interprets the economic and political history of the past half a century, examining the challenges confronted by successive governments and their chancellors, the policies employed for good or ill, and - running through it all - the desperate search for a panacea that could arrest the nation's relative decline and return the country to its supposed former glories
