Business and Society:Issues and Cases in the Indian Context

Edited by Mathew Manimala, Princy Thomas and Neetha Mahadev

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: There are many theories on why managers do not (as a behavior) or should not (as a value) supplement profit orientation with people-centrism and planet sensitivity. In practice, managers do not supplement profit orientation with considerations for people and the planet unless they have the tools and know how to make that possible. This book seeks to address that by focusing on the normative dimension of organizational development. There are two competing norms for developing an organization: first, as a profit-oriented business enterprise; and second, as a people-centric, planet-sensitive, profit-oriented business or social enterprise.
