Abstract

Multinational Corporations in Political Environments advances and tests a theory of why foreign corporations leave host states. Theories of international business have often ignored the complexity of corporate decisions about leaving foreign countries, generally assuming that the economic and competitive reasons that prompt multinational corporations to enter host states also explain their subsequent reasons for leaving. Alternatively, this book proposes a theory of how different stakeholders' values and ethics shape multinationals' strategic leaving behaviors. Tested in South Africa

Abstract

l'univers des entreprises est secoué par de nombreux scandales. Face à cela, les professions de foi. voire les engagements, responsables, éthiques et durables, foisonnent aujourd'hui. Mais sans convaincre, notamment parce qu'ils reposent sur un volontariat sans contrôle public efficace. Ainsi conque, la responsabilisation des entreprises revient, en fait, pour elles, à décréter leurs propres règles sociales et environnementales et à se soustraire aux lois communes. Il faut répondre autrement à l'exigence que les entreprises contribuent enfin à préserver le présent et le futur de tous. Il s'agit là d'un nouveau terrain d'intervention sociale prenant en compte les multiples transformations issues de la mondialisation. Un terrain à défricher en urgence.

Abstract

"Runaway climate change and persistent inequality are ravaging the world and humanity. Who can help lead us to a better future? Business. These massive dual challenges-and other profound shifts like pandemics, resource constraints, and shrinking biodiversity-threaten our very existence on the planet. Yet division and discord risk undermining our response, just when we need to come together. Global partnership and leadership are lacking, free trade and globalization are under attack, and populism continues to breed intolerance and disruption. At this critical time in history, the imperative to reimagine our economies and companies could not be more urgent. Fortunately, many in the business community-from large corporations to microenterprises-are helping to solve our most profound challenges by deploying long-term, purpose-led business models that put people and planet first. And they are profiting on this new path with new tools, AI and data-driven transparency, and radical improvements in the economics of clean technologies. The key question has flipped from "Why would you do sustainability?" to "Why wouldn't you?" In this paradigm-shifting book, former Unilever CEO Paul Polman and sustainable-business guru Andrew Winston provide a model to help leaders build companies that contribute more to the world than they use or take-that is, net positive companies. They bypass the last gasps of denial to show how purpose and profits are inextricably linked and how collective action can deliver the scale of change and transformation the world needs. Net Positive outlines the principles and practices for surviving and thriving, based on the experience of one world-leading company, Unilever, and other groundbreaking global organizations. This essential book is for leaders, executives, managers, and professionals who want to succeed, but know that winning requires caring deeply about serving the world. Building a net positive company is the key.

Les plus grands leaders ont déjà engagé leurs entreprises sur la voie du Net Positive et en tirent profit. Vous n'avez pas encore sauté le pas ? Comment l'entreprise peut-elle se détacher de l'obsession du profit à court terme et créer de la valeur porteuse de sens à long terme ? Comment dégager des bénéfices en résolvant les problèmes du monde et non pas en les générant ? La solution se trouve dans les cinq piliers de la démarche Net Positive : 1. Assumer les conséquences de ses actions ; 2. S'inscrire dans le temps long ; 3. Apporter du positif à toutes les parties prenantes ; 4. Faire de la valeur pour l'actionnaire un résultat plutôt qu'un objectif ; 5. Nouer des partenariats solides qui font évoluer le système. Paul Polman - ex-PDG d'Unilever qui a garanti un rendement accru à ses actionnaires tout en faisant de l'entreprise une référence du développement durable - et Andrew Winston - spécialiste des enjeux de durabilité en entreprise - prouvent par l'exemple qu'il est possible de prospérer en rendant le monde meilleur. Conçu comme un guide stratégique, cet ouvrage propose des solutions pour réaliser des économies d'échelle, renforcer l'efficacité opérationnelle, mettre l'Innovation au service de la croissance, ou encore créer une culture positive de l'émulation.

Abstract

Current global economic crises call for social responsibility to replace neo-liberalistic, one-sided and short-term criteria causing monopolies of global enterprises. Humanity's existence is endangered under the threat of global capitalism, unless the positive concept 'everyone's social responsibility impacts everyone in society' becomes the basis of the new socio-economic order. This concept must be realized together with related concepts of 'interdependence' and 'holism,' embodying the principles of accountability, transparency, ethical behavior, and respect for stakeholders--to support the
