Sommario/riassunto

Features articles on the changing societal expectations and new challenges on businesses in terms of their legitimacy in society at large



and particulary in their relationships with stakeholders. For today's managers, business competitiveness and financial results are no longer the only concerns. This e-book aims to address these and other related issues from both an academic and business perspective, and features several Blue Chip companies (eg Shell) and top business schools (IESE).
