| Summary |
"Why being radically connected with society is not just the right thing to do, it is an imperative for a company's bottom line. Connect is a practical manifesto that redefines the role of business in society. Through insightful analysis and vivid storytelling - ranging from ancient China, Andrew Carnegie and the Homestead Strike of the late nineteenth century, to oil spills and privacy issues emanating from the technology of the twenty-first - Connect explores the recurring rift between business and society and proposes a way in which companies can prosper by connecting with the world around them." -- Amazon. |
