We need to incorporate core ideas about what gives life to systems into all businesses, communities, governments, and other types of organizations-that is, what helps them flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBusiness and other institutions need to create collective value, that is, value for all, and change the mindsets of people engaged with them so that they in turn can generate new performance metrics, practices, and power relationships that enable people everywhere to find their voice and their capacity to participate actively in bringing about a flourishing world. The book concludes with thoughts about how each one of us can do our bit to bring about this necessary transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Waddock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 195253870X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781952538704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Business Expert Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Sandra Waddock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943661437183,"sku":"9781952538704","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0b10dc3c-da00-47db-bc3c-2b41039d353d.jpg?v=1681499348","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transforming-towards-life-centered-economies-sandra-waddock-9781952538704","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
