  The Corporation - The...

  Joel Bakan

  Joel Bakan's book is a brilliantly argued account of the corporation's pathological pursuit of profit and power. An eminent law professor and legal theorist, Bakan contends that the corporation is created by law to function much like a psychopathic personality whose destructive behavior, if left unchecked, leads to scandal and ruin. 
  In the most revolutionary assessment of the corporation as a legal and economic institution since Peter Drucker's early works, Bakan backs his premise with the following claims: 
  • the  corporation's legally defined mandate is to pursue, relentlessly and without exception, its own economic self-interest, regardless of the harmful consequences it might cause to others-a concept endorsed by no less a luminary than the Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman. 
  • the  corporation's unbridled self-interest victimizes individuals, society, and, when it goes awry, even shareholders and can cause corporations to self-destruct, as recent Wall Street scandals reveal. 
  • While corporate social responsibility in some instances does much good, it is often merely a token gesture, serving to mask the corporation's true character. 
  • Governments have abdicated much of their control over the corporation, despite its flawed character, by freeing it from legal constraints through deregulation and by granting it ever greater authority over society through privatization. 
  Despite the structural failings found in the corporation, Bakan believes change is possible and outlines a far-reaching program of concrete, pragmatic, and realistic reforms through legal regulation and democratic control. 
  Backed by extensive research, The Corporation draws on in-depth interviews with such wide-ranging figures as CEO Hank McKinnell of Pfizer, Nobel Prize-winner Milton Friedman, business guru Peter Drucker, and critic Noam Chomsky of MIT.

  In Bring Your Human to Work, Erica Keswin laid down the rules and protocols of a human workplace. Now, in Rituals Roadmap, she shows us how to further employee engagement, explaining that workplace rituals foster a sense of belonging and help workers connect with one another and their work. From our morning cup of coffee to the standing Wednesday morning meeting with our team, our lives are steeped in rituals. Rituals Roadmap combines cutting-edge scientific research with examples from the most human companies, like Starbucks, Microsoft, Chipotle and LinkedIn, showing how they establish rituals during meetings, employee onboarding procedures, and daily interactions among coworkers. Whether you choose to pass around a stuffed penguin at your weekly meeting to express gratitude like Aria Finger of DoSomething, or decide to make lunchtime a daily ritual with your team in the same way one top performing team at Douglas Elliman does, rituals create community and change us in a way that conjures lifelong commitments. If you're serious about employee engagement, Rituals Roadmap is your blueprint for creating a workplace full of engaged, connected employees who drive revenue and stay at their jobs long term.

  Social Marketing to the Business...

  The social media craze has, ironically, given birth to one of the  biggest booms in recent book publishing. The gaping hole in this  market, however, is B2B. Nearly every social media book that's been  published either targets the consumer market or treats B2B as an  afterthought. If you search for "B2B social media marketing" on  Amazon, the results revealed not a single relevant title. In fact,  Paul's own two social media books both turn up in the top 10  results, despite the fact that neither of them directly targets  this market.   This is a stunning gap, given that some of the earliest adopters  of social media were B2B companies like IBM, Sun Microsystems and  Cisco. There is also plentiful evidence that B2B marketers are  hungry for information about this topic. At the recent Inbound  Marketing Summit in Boston, a show of hands from the audience of  350 marketers revealed that about 70% identified themselves as B2B.  The authors' own consulting and speaking engagements, which were  principally to consumer audiences a couple of years ago, are now  almost entirely to B2B companies and trade associations.  The Business Marketing Association estimates B2B marketing  spending at over $80 billion annually. Among the top 50 companies  on the Fortune 500, nearly all have significant B2B sales. What's  more, the B2B market tends to be less price sensitive than the  consumer market, meaning that readers are more likely to pay a  premium price for specialized guide and to buy in quantity.  How Businesses Reach Businesses will build upon our  extensive experience in this space, the authors' two successful  social media books, and more than a decade of collective immersion  in this topic.  This will be a hands-on guide with plentiful examples, case  studies and best practices. It will focus on the channels that are  proving most effective for B2B marketers as well as on the topics  that are unique to this segment, including prospecting for clients,  long selling cycles and high-ticket items, using social media for  long-term client relationships, corporate transparency and  policies, etc.
