It analyzes how networks, family and succession are at its heart, and how much this approach offers to current debates on corporate social responsibility, as well as to managers and practitioners in an increasingly complex business world. The contributions in this volume assess the factors that explain the success and prosperity of many Quaker businesses throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, discussing the lessons learned from their disappearance from prominence. By drawing upon examples that illustrate the Quaker ethic, it also considers what so-called “Quakernomics” can contribute to contemporary responsible business theory and practice. .CSR, Sustainability, Ethics & Governance,2196-7075Social responsibility of businessSpiritualityFamily-owned business enterprisesBusiness—Religious aspectsBusiness ethicsCorporate Social Responsibilityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/526010Spiritualityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A9000Family Businesshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/514020Faith, Spirituality and Businesshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/526030Business Ethicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14050Social responsibility of business.Spirituality.Family-owned business enterprises.Business—Religious aspects.Business ethics.Corporate Social Responsibility.Spirituality.Family Business.Faith, Spirituality and Business.Business Ethics.658.408174.4Burton Nicholasedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtTurnbull Richardedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910337791703321Quakers, Business and Corporate Responsibility2292410UNINA
