报告简介

传统的经济学理论认为,利润最大化就是企业存在的目的。本书建立了一个全新框架,说明并非如此。作者认为:分蛋糕思维甚至抢蛋糕思维负面影响非常大,让企业、个人和社会陷入零和博弈的陷阱中。抢蛋糕不如做大蛋糕。 1)为什么以利润最大化为目标,往往实现不了利润最大化?2)为什么致力于增进社会价值,往往会在不经意间实现巨大的利润?3)如何权衡取舍,实现商业价值和社会责任的双赢?本书从经济学理论出发,用案例和强有力的论证,论述了企业如何确立宗旨、“做大蛋糕”,并说明当企业以宗旨为导向、增进社会价值时,往往可以实现长期利润,收获长期成功。本书揭示了ESG(环境、社会和公司治理)投资的底层逻辑,能给企业管理者、投资者以及专家学者都带来启发。
