The goal of this book is to define Sustainable Value Creation in terms of a set of principles that differentiate it from existing definitions of CSR and from related concepts such as sustainability and business ethics. To internalize these ten principles is to understand how the firm can respond to stakeholder needs to optimize value creation over the medium to long term. Ultimately this second edition book aims to reform both business practice and business education. By building a theory that redefines CSR as central to the value creation process the ten principles of Sustainable Value Creation redefine how firms approach each of their operational functions but also how these subjects should be taught in universities worldwide. As such this book will hopefully be of value to instructors as a complement to their teaching students as a guide in their education and managers as a framework to help them respond to the complex dynamic context that they are expected to navigate every day. This book is a manifesto for success in today’s complex dynamic business environment. The book is designed as an easy-to-digest critical introductory text to CSR. With supporting online teaching resources it is aimed primarily at the MBA and Executive MBA market and for CSR sustainability and business ethics courses taught by instructors skeptical of existing definitions and organizing principles of CSR sustainability or business ethics.
