By integrating cases of social and environmental leadership in the private sector, we present the various managerial-class disciplines in a new light. We eschew the traditional economic single-mindedness of managerial decision-making and instead foster an appreciation for the social and environmental ramifications of business decisions, both to avoid risk (defensive strategy) and to find new ways to create value (proactive strategy)"-- ER -
