Social Intrapreneurism and All That Jazz
In response to the world’s rapidly growing social, economic and environmental challenges, a growing wave of "social intrapreneurs" are harnessing the power of large companies to create new business solutions to address societal problems. Social Intrapreneurism and All That Jazz reveals how these highly creative social innovators are improvizing alliances across, as well as beyond, their companies to create micro-insurance products for low-income people; offer delivery services to millions of small businesses in slums around the world; develop alternative-energy solutions inside a major gas and oil corporation; partner with a Brazilian community to produce new natural care products; establi...
The Intrapreneur
Work. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. Work. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. Work. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. Have you ever sat at your desk and asked yourself, why am I here? Is this really all there is? Believe me, it isn't. Over the past three decades, my generation created the enormous machines we call multinational corporations. Today, over half of the largest economies in the world are global businesses - controlled by the few, while impacting the many. Business has the power to change the world. But what if we, as individuals, had the power to change the world of business? We are in the age of the intrapreneur: where mavericks and rebels bring their entrepreneurial prowess to big business, to change it from the insi...
Social Entrepreneurship and Business Ethics
Social entrepreneurs are change makers that aim to solve society’s unsolved problems. Not surprisingly, social entrepreneurship has thus created high expectations. To better understand the potential as well as the limitations of social entrepreneurship, however, a more nuanced approach is needed in two ways. First, social entrepreneurship is a multi-level phenomenon. It spans macro-level questions as well as meso-level questions and, finally, micro-level questions. If we really want to understand social entrepreneurship, we need to bring together all three levels of analysis and see how they are connected. Second, while social entrepreneurship can certainly produce socially desirable outco...

Deutschlands Chance
Angesichts der europäischen Finanzkrise ist es unübersehbar geworden: Deutschland nimmt aufgrund seiner ökonomischen Potenz eine entscheidende Rolle in Europa und in der Welt ein. Doch die eigene Macht wird eher als eine wenig erwünschte Herausforderung gesehen. Wir sind gefangen zwischen der faktisch ausgeübten Macht und einer Neigung, die damit verbundene Verantwortung abzulehnen und uns nicht mit unserem eigenen Verhältnis zu Macht und Ohnmacht auseinanderzusetzen. Dies hat historische Wurzeln. Heute geht es darum, ein neues Verhältnis zur eigenen Macht zu gewinnen; als Individuen und als Kollektiv. Dies kann gelingen, wenn wir uns mit dem eigenen Schatten versöhnen und eine Haltung des 'servant leadership' entwickeln.

Embedded Sustainability
Companies know how to meet the demands of shareholder value: years of managerial excellence testify to this achievement. Many also know how to create stakeholder value – through traditional approaches such as CSR and philanthropy which predictably lead to trade-offs and added costs. What remains elusive is discovering is how to meet both shareholder and stakeholder requirements in the core business – without mediocrity and without compromise – creating value for the company that cannot be disentangled from the value it creates for society and the environment. What if sustainability was embedded into the DNA of your organization? How can you incorporate environmental, health and social ...
