Twenty leading scholars provide a visionary look at the future of business, propelling past damaging industrial-age values to uncover the potential for humanistic, ecologically sustainable, and intergenerational prosperity. This edited collection, featuring contributions by some of the world' s most prominent thinkers on the future of business, is an interdisciplinary and international collaborative project to articulate a new 21st century theory of business. This book will be our greatest aid in meeting the organizational opportunities and ecological challenges of the future. Through the exploration of robust cases and stories packed with deep insight and vital science, twenty of the world' s leading thinkers explore how we can adapt our current notions of value, markets, models of cooperation and collective action, and intergenerational concern to create a world where economies and businesses can excel, all people can thrive, and nature can flourish for future generations. This book is not dispassionate but rather designed to galvanize change and unite a global community of inquiry. It expounds on the conceptual cornerstones of the new kind of business practice that will enable the ascent to better prosperity.
