Product Description:
'Business and Society: Stakeholder Relations, Ethics and Public Policy' by Lawrence/Weber/Post, has continued through several successive author teams to be the market-leader in its field. For over thirty years, 'Business and Society' has been updated and reinvented in response to society's relationship to business. 'Business and Society, 11e' highlights why government regulation is sometimes required, as well as new models of business-community collaboration. 'Business and Society, 11e' is a book with a point of view. Lawrence, Weber and Post believe: that businesses have social (as well as economic) responsibilities to society; that business and government both have important roles to play in the modern economy; and that ethics and integrity are essential to personal fulfillment and to business success. The book is designed to be easily modularized. An instructor who wishes to focus on a particular portion of the material may select individual chapters or cases to be packaged in a Primis custom product.

The delivery was very quick.

As for what is inside the book, there is nothing average about it. The first edition of this book was published in in the 1960's by Prof's Keith Davis and Robert Blomstrom. Since then, it has been updated with new data that further proves the benefits of measuring a triple bottom line.
In Part 1, the authors introduce the argument for, and benefits of, Stakeholder ... Read More

Excellent condition. Delivery was a little slow. Great service if you are not in a rush to get the book.
Rating: - All common sense
everything in this book is common sense. There is really very little to learn from this, and it is overpriced.
