Summary

Increasingly today, in every age group, consumers are committing to brands that show good citizenship--from fair employment practices, to social responsibility, to charitable giving. In fact, support of these generous and socially aware companies is so high that it is safe to say that good works and charitable giving are no longer optional for the company that aspires for financial success--they are necessary!Do Good documents the sea of change that has impacted the twenty-first-century marketplace more than even the most optimistic of business forecasters. Toms grew into a $600 million company by giving away 35 million pair of shoes. Patagonia’s profits have climbed year after year even as it funnels heavy investments into sustainability. From CVS’s destocking cigarettes to Chipotle’s ethical sourcing, customers have shown with their wallets the types of businesses they will support and that they will quickly call out negligence.Buyers today demand more than half-hearted pledges from companies who are clearly just trying to show less profits and decrease their taxes. By implementing the five-step model for the new rules of business laid out in Do Good--Trust, Enrichment, Responsibility, Community, and Contribution--companies can take the necessary steps to embed social consciousness into their DNA, in turn capturing both markets and hearts.

The Corporate Social Responsibility has been provided with the duty of defining the specific roles and responsibilities for business-related activities which are entirely opposite to the fact that it vindicates business. The primary function of the CSR is to assign a definite role to business and has to take care of the fact that the businesses are functioning within the realistic edges like the involvement of business with activities that helps the business to expand their markets, increase their profits and so on.

It is important for the companies to possess an efficiently working Corporate Social Responsibility system. The area of concern for a company having a CSR is the tasks or the steps that a company is required to follow for yielding maximum business value. CSR is newer technology introduced in an organization or in an industry or a business setting and thus not many people are properly aware of proper methodologies or the steps that need to be followed for development of a strategical CSR. 
There are many benefits that the company gets through the use of a strategical CSR which are discussed in detail furthermore.

    The Wright Stuff - From NBC to...

    The former CEO of NBC “reflects on his years at the pinnacle of network television, and also on the Wrights’ work as co-founders of Autism Speaks” (Palm Beach Daily News).   Named president and CEO of NBC at the age of 43, he faced a two-headed dragon: on one hand, distrust from the network people deeply skeptical of the “suit” from GE, their new corporate parent; and on the other, fiscal oversight demands from a cautious, conservative institution reluctant to invest heavily in a media business they didn’t understand. For the next 20 years, he managed to navigate the fine line between the two and in the process completely reinvent—and save—the network.   His name is Bob Wright. Under his leadership, a traditional network, struggling to survive a changing landscape, was transformed into a $45 billion cable and internet giant.   What does someone like that do when he retires? If he’s Bob Wright, he starts all over again. At almost the exact same time as Bob’s NBC reign was winding down, his grandson Christian was diagnosed with autism, a condition then poorly understood. Baffled by a lack of medical knowledge and community support, Bob and his wife Suzanne founded Autism Speaks, which in short order became the leading advocacy and research funding organization for this mysterious condition that so devastates families.   As the two story lines unfold in The Wright Stuff, readers will gradually see that both endeavors—revitalizing NBC and building Autism Speaks—reflect the same key management tenets that apply to any organization facing disruptive change.  A portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to advance autism research.

    Summary Bundle: Biography & Memoir: Includes Summary of Into the Wild & Summary of It's Even Worse Than You Think 
From the Description of "Summary of Into the Wild"... 
"I read somewhere... how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong... to measure yourself at least once."—Jon Krakauer 
The protagonist wanted a start-over, a fresh start where even his name would be different. And in order to fulfill that desire and to live in an unfiltered way the experiences that nature presented, he got rid of every bit of technology or cash he had in hand and decided to roam the world. 
From the Description of "Summary of It's Even Worse Than You Think"... 
"This philosophy was ignored by the many pastors who endorsed Trump and accepted his statement that he is a Christian. That is worth pondering because revenge is explicitly rejected by Jesus and runs counter to the whole theme of the New Testament."—David Cay Johnston 
Emphasizing the things that the mainstream press ceased covering years ago, Johnston examines the first 100 days of Trump's presidency with extraordinary depth.

    The Prince, Machiavelli's 'little book', was written in 1513 and is dedicated to Lorenzo de' Medici. It remains a compelling and controversial treatise on politics, dispensing often cynical, sometimes brutal advice on gaining power and retaining it. Essential listening for our masters perhaps, but most certainly for those of us who would not be mastered. The text used here is the unabridged and classic translation by W. K. Marriott.
