Recommendation

Deceptive business practices may have become common, but positive change is on the horizon. Social entrepreneur Dale Partridge outlines the vicious cycle that many businesses loop through as they start with honest practices, abandon them over time, and then attempt to reform their practices and regain their customers’ trust. He provides sound advice to business leaders and innovative thinkers who want to make the world a better place. Writing in plain, accessible language, Partridge offers a bold manual to those who believe honest, socially conscious businesses are the way of the future. He cites common pitfalls many businesses face during times of rapid expansion and offers strategic remedies. getAbstract recommends his manual to executives and entrepreneurs who hope to change their organizations for the better from the inside.

Take-Aways

  • More than 70% of consumers want to support socially responsible companies.
  • Many businesses that now have reputations for unethical business practices started as socially conscious enterprises.
  • Most corporations go through four “Eras of Organizational Behavior”: the “Honest Era,” the “Efficient Era,” the “Deceptive Era” and the “Apologetic Era.”
