Advancing the Common Good: Strategies for Businesses, Governments, and Nonprofits

Autor Philip Kotler
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2019
These inspiring stories of prominent reformers fighting for the Common Good help concerned readers and voters recognize which actions and proposals will substantially elevate the happiness and well-being of citizens.

Philip Kotler describes how today's society is in a state of "durable disorder," with authoritarianism on the rise and democracy on the decline around the world. He highlights the role of the Common Good and offers readers a guide to fortifying democratic values and creating organizations that pursue a better vision of the world. This text is essential for:

Public citizens who want to help solve their community's problems

Businesses that want to contribute to the public good

Government agencies aiming to improve services and innovations

Nonprofit organizations dedicated to meeting public needs

Kotler details tools for public action used by luminaries such as Martin Luther King Jr., Susan B. Anthony, Rachel Carson, and Nelson Mandela, describing the advances these reformers achieved and mapping out strategies for delivering "the greatest good for the greatest number."

Recenzii

No matter how you define it, profit and advancing the common good are not only totally compatible, but essential to the future wellbeing of societies, especially capitalist societies. Philip Kotler is in my view the best management writer in the world. You will love this wonderful, thoughtful, but pragmatic book.
Philip Kotler takes up a highly controversial topic. Comprehensive, profound, creative, credible! A must-read for everyone who is not only motivated by money and profit.
This book is an optimistic and compelling essay on the application of what we know works in promoting the common good supported by a wealth of practical insights. The book is also a welcome reminder about the power of what can be achieved if governments, businesses, NGOs, and other key players collaborate and coordinate their efforts. I recommend this work to all who have an interest in finding and developing pragmatic solutions focused on improving social good.
50 years ago, economist Phil Kotler initiated the transformation of Marketing from an art into a science by introducing the 'quantitative' approach. Marketing has not been the same since! Now, after spending much time studying political and economic models used around the world, Kotler presents Advancing the Common Good. This book provides a formula for good governance, which is especially timely given the dark VUCA clouds hanging over us. I hope this will be read by all those involved in governance, whether in government, corporate, or NPO sectors, to make this a better world, for most if not all.
Our capitalistic society is in peril-Kotler, a gifted thought leader, shows a path forward.
Kotler has written the essential book for individuals and organizations, activists, and reformers to campaign for a better society and a better world.
Advancing the Common Good speaks to all of us as global citizens. Philip Kotler's perspectives point to paths for a better society. His cogent ideas address how society's institutional actors can cause better lives for society's stakeholders.
I've long believed marketing can and should be a force for good. This book is powerful because it answers what can be done to advance the Common Good by companies, government, and nonprofits. If you're a leader or interested in how to advance a better society, this is a must-read book.
