To \nsome executives, all activists are irresponsible, unyielding \nextremists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd yet engaging with the issue isn’t optional – all businesses must \nhave a strategy to deal with sustainability and, like any strategy, this \ninvolves making choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStrategy and Sustainability\u003c\/i\u003e encourages its readers to filter out the noise and make those \nchoices in a hard-nosed and clear-eyed way. Rosenberg’s nuanced and fact-based \npoint of view recognizes the complexity of the issues at hand and \nthe strategic choices businesses must make. He blends the work of some of the \nleading academic thinkers in the field with practical examples from a variety of \nbusiness sectors and geographies and offers a framework with which Senior \nManagement might engage with the topic, not (just) to save the planet but \nto fulfil their short, medium, and long-term responsibilities to shareholders \nand other stakeholders.\u0026lt;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-09-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137501738\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-137-50175-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 228\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44561612570764,"sku":"9781137501738","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137501738.jpg?v=1776695971","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137501738","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
