Reviews

'The disastrous fall out from corporate and financial excesses unleashed by decades of deregulation and shareholder value maximization makes it an urgent necessity to develop alternatives to the predominant perceptions of the firm. This book offers an interesting new perspective. The idea of the 'balanced firm' provides a framework for improved management of complex stakeholder relationships in companies and organizations.'Klaus Nielsen, Birkbeck, University of London, UK
