Recenzje

'Enderle promises a radically new understanding of corporate responsibility in the global context – and he delivers. He combines a comprehensive notion of wealth creation with the normative urgency of human rights to form an innovative new yardstick to understand and assess the role of corporations in a globalized world. A relevant and passionate book!' Florian Wettstein, Professor and Director, Institute for Business Ethics University of St Gallen
