Common wisdom is that it's one that sacrifices profit for social outcomes. But while it's crucial for companies to serve society, they also have a duty to generate profit for investors - savers, retirees, and pension funds. Based on the highest-quality evidence and real-life examples spanning industries and countries, Alex Edmans shows that it's not an either-or choice - companies can create both profit and social value. The most successful companies don't target profit directly, but are driven by purpose - the desire to serve a societal need and contribute to human betterment. The book explains how to embed purpose into practice so that it's more than just a mission statement, and discusses the critical role of working collaboratively with a company's investors, employees, and customers. Rigorous research also uncovers surprising results on how executive pay, shareholder activism, and share buybacks can be used for the common good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Edmans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108494854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108494854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.30w x 1.20d","brand":"Alex Edmans","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44049339842815,"sku":"9781108494854","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7d2815a-d675-4959-8e62-92bec9e47d4e.jpg?v=1685001018","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/grow-the-pie-alex-edmans-9781108494854","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
