Action for a Better Economy. Practical Strategies for Sustainable Growth, Shared Prosperity, and Economic Resilience

Despite massive investments, sustainable business still isn't very profitable for most companies. Here's a fresh approach for resetting sustainability for customer value--and profitability.Store aisles packed with products labeled "environmentally friendly." Businesses scrambling to respond to stakeholder demands that they make their operations sustainable. Ads touting green credentials for all kinds of enterprises. For a long time now, this has been the market landscape we've lived in, with companies such as Unilever leading the way and creating pressure for others to follow suit.But the uncomfortable truth is that after years of investment in sustainable products and services, most companies still aren't seeing the payoff--not financially, not in value for customers, and not in real environmental and social impact. Why not?As IMD professors Goutam Challagalla and Frédéric Dalsace show in this eye-opening and practical book, the shortfall is due to a strategic misalignment and a misunderstanding of what actually drives customers' purchase decisions. The authors flip conventional sustainability strategy on its head: instead of companies asking "How can we make our offerings more sustainable?" they should be asking "How can we use sustainability as a catalyst to improve the performance of our products, make them more affordable, or both?" Viewed this way, sustainability is an intrinsic, value-generating element of an offering rather than a costly add-on.The authors call companies that understand this insight--John Deere, Michelin, Schneider Electric, Nespresso, Reckitt, and others--clean winners, or "Resonators." With wide-ranging and instructive stories, they show how Resonators use sustainability to increase customer value and generate robust profits.Offering practical frameworks, tools, and tactics, Clean Winners is your essential guide to reimagining your sustainability strategy.

Sustainability Strategy That Puts Customers First

Clean Winners

Most middle-market CEOs assume "profit rainmaking" is all about sales. It isn't. In Profit Rainmaking(TM), value-creation strategist John Lanier reveals a far more powerful truth: real Profit Rainmaking is a holistic enterprise system-one that aligns strategy, operations, culture, and customer value into a single, scalable engine for growth and succession readiness.Drawing on decades of experience with over 200 companies and more than 75 private equity firms, Lanier exposes why so many promising businesses stall, sell for less than they could, or collapse under the weight of their own growth. He offers a proven blueprint and a resourceful toolbox for honing the unique value proposition, capturing market share, and outmaneuvering industry "Goliaths."This is the playbook for business owners keen to double their company, achieve operational excellence, attract prime talent, and corner the attention of financial and strategic suitors for legacy succession with confidence.This book helps you: <ul><li>Apply the Nine Universal Truths to predictably increase enterprise value</li><li>Reduce risk through disciplined strategic planning and execution</li><li>Develop inspired, accountable teams who confidently scale the business</li><li>Strengthen your value proposition with objective customer evidence</li><li>Bridge your customers' needs to the value of your solution</li><li>Anticipate operational capacity so growth never overwhelms capability</li><li>Identify the "silent killers" that erode profitability and valuation</li><li>Compete-and win-against larger, better-resourced competitors</li><li>Effectively execute years in advance to facilitate premium exit options</li></ul>Through candid stories, hidden-in-plain-sight patterns, and practical frameworks, Lanier helps CEOs and their teams avoid the most common and costly traps: seller's remorse, operational strain, weak succession planning, customer dissatisfaction, and the myth of the heroic salesperson who "saves" the quarter yet unintentionally hurts the business.Whether you are scaling toward a future exit, regaining momentum after setbacks, navigating investor expectations, or building a company that can thrive without you, Profit Rainmaking is your field guide for building a resilient company with loyal customers, exceptional operations, and inspired teams.For the Davids and Davidas of the business world-those who fight every day to compete, grow, and win-this book shows you how to make profits rain, on purpose and on demand.Profit Rainmaking is your manual for stewarding your teams in continuously improving excellence!

Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy

With a chapter devoted to each of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this edited book explores the evidence that corruption is a strong impediment to achieving the SDGs and that strong anti-corruption policy is essential if any are to be achieved. For some of the goals, there is much existing theory and evidence which will be summarized and made accessible to an interdisciplinary audience. For example, studies strongly suggest that corruption is associated with greater poverty (SDG 1) and lower growth rates (SDG 8). Furthermore, there is considerable research on the effects of corruption on the scope for decent work and growth (SDG 8) and an established connection between corruption and industry, innovation, and infrastructure (SDG 9). In other areas, the research is more scant. For example, there is limited work on how corruption can be a contributing factor to food insecurity and famine (SDG 2). There has been little work specifically on corruption and sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11) and responsible consumption and production (SDG 12). Similarly, more work is needed on the effects of corruption on climate action (SDG 13), life below water (SDG 14), and life on land (SDG15). In these areas the chapter surveys the research that does exist and motivates further study.This book will be an essential research and reference guide to readers interested in political economy, sustainable development, social issues, politics and development studies.

Corruption and the Sustainable Development Goals

How apprenticeship shaped the English economy Apprenticeship dominated training and skill formation in early modern Europe. Years spent learning from a skilled master were a nearly universal experience for young workers in crafts and trade. In England, when apprenticeship reached its peak, as many as a third of all teenage males would serve and learn as apprentices. In The Market for Skill, Patrick Wallis shows how apprenticeship helped reshape the English economy. Some historians see apprenticeship as a key ingredient in the industrial revolution; others agree with Adam Smith in seeing it as wasteful and conservative. Wallis shows that neither of these perspectives is entirely accurate. He offers a new account of apprenticeship and the market for skill in England, analyzing the records of hundreds of thousands of individual apprentices to tell the story of how apprenticeship worked and how it contributed to the transformation of England. Wallis details the activities of apprentices and masters, the strategies of ambitious parents, the interventions of guilds and the decisions of town officials. He shows how the system of early modern apprenticeship contributed to the growth of cities, the movement of workers from farms to manufacturing and the spread of new technologies and productive knowledge. In this groundbreaking study, Wallis argues that apprenticeship succeeded precisely because it was a flexible institution which allowed apprentices to change their minds and exit contracts early. Apprenticeship provided a vital channel for training that families could trust and that was accessible to most young people, whatever their background.

A bold, hopeful argument for using our oceans to meet the worldwide need for food, renewable energy, and economic well-being without sacrificing the health of the planet As the world struggles to feed humanity, fuel economies and trade, and fulfill global energy needs, companies and governments are rushing to the vast blue expanse that covers two-thirds of our planet. But should we let them? A Sea of Wealth makes the provocative case for why we must harness the ocean—and demonstrates how we can do so wisely. Blending the latest science with engaging personal stories from a lifetime spent in and around the ocean, Ben Halpern takes readers around the globe to explore five key resources in the rapidly emerging blue economy: food, energy, transport, minerals, and carbon. He carefully considers what each has to offer, their environmental risks, and how they compare to land-based alternatives, while wrestling with his own feelings about using the sea. The danger is that industry and government will push too fast, too far into the ocean. Yet these expanding uses could provide environmental solutions at a planetary scale. A timely book by one of the world’s most influential environmental scientists, A Sea of Wealth tackles the question of whether we should halt or encourage the exploitation of our oceans and their untold resources—the answers may surprise you.

The Blue Economy and the Future of the Ocean

A Sea of Wealth

Most people think a great life is built on big moments. It isn't. A great life is built on small decisions made consistently over time. A missed priority here. A neglected relationship there. Too much pressure. Too little margin. Over time, those small choices quietly shape the direction of a life. But there is another way to live. After decades of leadership, raising a family, and helping people navigate life's biggest decisions, Chris Hodges discovered something that changes everything: The quality of your life is determined by the principles that guide it. Principles simplify decisions. Principles steady you in difficult seasons. Principles help you build a life that lasts. &nbsp;In Legacy Letters, a practical and deeply personal book, Hodges shares the timeless principles that have shaped his life, leadership, relationships, and legacy. These aren't theories or motivational slogans. They are lessons learned through real life-through mentors, mistakes, family, and decades of walking alongside people through the highs and lows of life. This book is designed to be read one principle a day for 30 days, giving you a clear framework for building a better life. Then you'll spend the rest of the year putting those principles into practice-because principles are not meant to be memorized, they are meant to be lived. Inside, you'll discover powerful principles such as:The Big Rocks Principle - start life right by putting first things firstThe Calendar Principle - take control of your schedule before something else doesThe Compounding Principle - small daily disciplines create extraordinary results over timeThe Margin Principle - create breathing room so pressure doesn't control your lifeThe Who Principle - the people around you shape the future ahead of youThe Green-Grass Principle - the best relationships are the ones you invest inThe Goldmine Principle - learn to see the potential in peopleThe Orchestra Principle - life works better when it's built around "we" instead ofThe Significance Principle - the greatest life is the one that helps others win&nbsp;Filled with memorable phrases, practical wisdom, and honest stories from a life of leadership, Legacy Letters will help you:Make wiser decisionsBuild stronger relationshipsCreate margin and clarity in a crowded worldFocus your time on what matters mostLeave a legacy that lasts&nbsp;Because methods change. Trends change. Circumstances change. But principles never do. Live by the right principles, and you won't just succeed. You'll build a life that truly works.
