Value Shift: Why Companies Must Merge Social and Financial Imperatives to Achieve Superior PerformanceMcGraw Hill Professional, 22 ago 2002 - 288 páginas "Lynn Paine has an optimistic analysis of the need for--and the value of--bringing ethical values into business decision-making.

Volcker "This book presents a way of broadening the role of the corporation in our society, an interesting and exciting role. It's a good read for young leaders in all walks of life."--John C. Whitehead, former Chairman, Goldman Sachs "Value Shift provides a timely and compelling argument for why companies must incorporate values into their strategies--that no one in business can afford to ignore."--Daniel Vasella, Chairman + CEO /Novartis AG |
