Beyond Shareholder Primacy

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book is a brilliant and critically needed masterpiece. Hart provides a sweeping and compelling case for why we must urgently reform our capitalist system, and offers a practical roadmap for how this transformation can proceed."
-Paul A. Laudicina, Chairman Emeritus, A.T. Kearney; Founder, Global Business Policy Council "We need a capitalist reformation. Shareholder primacy, the source code of capitalism, is a dead end. Stuart L. Hart shows us a path to upgrade the operating system of capitalism so that it is fit for a higher purpose than profit maximization."
-Jay Coen Gilbert, Cofounder, B Corporation movement; Founding CEO, Imperative 21 "Hart's compelling analysis of capitalism's history shows us that the past forty years of shareholder primacy are an outlier. We can and must transform the way we do business to build companies which thrive by serving their many stakeholders - including planet Earth. This is capitalism for the billions, not just the billionaires."
-Paul Polman, former CEO, Unilever; co-author of Net Positive "This book is a call to action. It gives students and emerging leaders the blueprint they need to create a truly sustainable capitalism."
-Karen Johns, CEO, Net Impact "An extraordinary exploration of business thinking that goes beyond the boundaries of profit and purpose. Leaders now have a path to achieve social and environmental goals, in addition to financial success. A must-read for executives, entrepreneurs, and anyone passionate about building a better, more sustainable future."
-Scott Tew, Vice President, Sustainability, Trane Technologies "Successfully presenting a strong case would be enough to make Hart's work a compelling and thoughtful read. But he also presents a useful roadmap for making this all happen. This combination of the historical, theoretical, and practical makes this book an invaluable and provocative resource for anybody interested in building the future. Using clear and concise language, Hart makes his argument both accessible to the reader and documented for the scholar or student interested in further research. He makes the reader consider his subject in different contexts, outcomes, timelines, and consequences-quite a lot for any single volume to accomplish! Essential."-S. A. Schulman, CHOICE
