– Arno Kourula, Organization Studies
''This Research Handbook includes the “who’s who” of responsible management, from the most established senior scholars who have shaped the field to the new emerging voices who will shape the future of the field. This Research Handbook is a critical resource for any serious scholar in responsible management.''
– Tima Bansal, Western University, Canada
‘We have, at long last, entered a period of transformation with regard to capitalism and the role of business in society. The age of shareholder primacy is coming to a close. During such turbulent times, it helps to have a roadmap to help us navigate our way to the future. This Research Handbook of Responsible Management provides the intellectual guide needed.’
– Stuart L. Hart, University of Vermont, US, author of Capitalism at the Crossroads
‘Management has made the world that we live in. The world that we live in could now be destroyed by management. Massive inequalities, a sense that the elites are failing the people and a very real climate emergency have been caused by contemporary forms of organization. Now, more than ever, we need to rethink management, and this book makes a real contribution to that project.’
