New World Companies: The Future of Capitalism
Description
What makes a global company great? For the past few decades, more than 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies have either failed or been significantly downgraded in size, influence, or governance structures. In New World Companies, best-selling author and corporate consultant Bruce Piasecki examines this sobering reality and explains why certain twenty-first century companies are likely to thrive while others fall short.New World Companiesbegins with an overview of today's global business environment. Specifically, it examines the recently evolved areas of corporate concern: environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. It then shows how this growing trend toward social responsiveness--involving areas such as preservation of the environment, the meeting of consumer and employee needs, and the transparency of company practices and philosophies--is proving to be an integral part of a successful operation. Subsequent chapters explore the role of digital technology in bringing the people of the world together in a new era of human rights; the evolution of shared values in business networks; the new flow of money management and successful investing; the importance of innovation and sustainability; and much more. Whether you are an investor, an executive, or a consumer, New World Companies provides you with the tools needed to measure a company's potential for growth and success--or its likelihood of failure.

Reviews
"[Bruce Piasecki's] clients include Toyota, FedEx, Caterpillar, Flextronics International and a number of other Fortune 500 companies. Piasecki is an authority on sustainability issues."
--Gerald B. Silverman "Bloomberg BNA Daily Report for Executives (TM) ""[Piasecki's] thought of a friendlier corporation is a welcome one . . . [he] writes about the energy sector, in which he foresees great forward movement toward a renewable future even as big investment money is moving away from the fossil-fuel economy. Optimistic and full of good intentions: a book for green-money investors and consumers bent on putting their money to work in positive ways."
"Having logged more than 30 years as a managemen consultant to more than a hundred firms, [author] Piasecki is well prepared to identify the six stages of a corporation's life: profit-margin improvement, efficiency improvement, expansion of the global customer base, production differentiation, responding to the social concerns of the customer base, and having these responses recognized by analysts . . . [New World Companies is] a practical blueprint for companies that want to adopt socially responsive corporate practices, covering the implementation of environmental, social, and governance metrics; how investors can analyze philosophies and corporate practices; the impact of digital technology; and the rise of an interconnected global community."
