"Patricia Werhane and her colleagues show how our mental models blind us from seeing new realms of possibilities. In this gem of a book, they portray poverty for what it represents for business--an opportunity to dramatically improve peoples' lives."Stuart L. Hart, S.C. Johnson Chair in Sustainable Global Enterprise, Cornell University."The authors lay out a compelling case of how the private sector represents a powerful force against global poverty. They develop a model that inextricably links corporate social responsibility with competitive advantage."Robert Weisberg, former U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Congo and Global Ethics Officer for Nokia Siemens Networks.
