«Building Respected Companies» is Jordi Canals's essay on leadership and corporate governance, in hardcover (282 pages, in English).
Starting from the financial crisis, Jordi Canals argues that the dominant view of the firm has aggravated the recession and ultimately undermined trust in corporations. Against shareholder value maximization, the author contends that companies must also serve society, and proposes rethinking the mission of the firm, the role of the board of directors and the position of senior executives to create respected and lasting organizations.
The subtitle is «Rethinking Business Leadership and the Purpose of the Firm»; it includes black-and-white illustrations and 15 tables, and was published on June 17, 2010.
Recommended for executives, board members and readers interested in leadership, business ethics and corporate governance.
