The corporation is one of the most important and remarkable
institutions in the world. It affects all our lives continuously.
It feeds, entertains, houses and, employs us. It generates vast
amounts of revenue for those who own it and it invests a
substantial proportion of the wealth that we possess. But the
corporation is also the cause of immense problems and suffering, a
source of poverty and pollution, and its failures are increasing.
How is the corporation failing us? Why is it happening? What should
we do to restore trust in it? While governments are subject to
repeated questioning and scrutiny, the corporation receives
relatively little attention. Firm Commitment provides a lucid and
insightful account of the role of the corporation in modern society
and explains why its problems are growing. It gives a fresh
perspective on the crises in financial markets, developing
countries, and the environment. Based on decades of analysis and
research, it describes a new approach to thinking about the firm
which not only stops it destroying us but turns it into the means
of protecting our environment, addressing social problems, and
creating new sources of entrepreneurship and innovation. It sets
out an agenda for converting the corporation into a twenty-first
century organization that we will value and trust. It takes you on
a journey that starts in the Galapagos, ends in Ancient Egypt, and
in the process brings you to a new level of appreciation of the
economic world we inhabit.
