Reviews
"Close your eyes and wish that companies that were good to their employees, their customers, their communities, and the environment made more money than 'the bad guys.' Now open your eyes and read this fascinating book. Amazingly, Bassi, Frauenheim, McMurrer, and Costello marshal evidence that it's true. Read it and smile." --Dr. Alan Blinder, Gordon S. Rentschler Memorial Professor of Economics and Public Affairs, Princeton University, and former Vice Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System " Good Company sounds an urgent warning: the old ways of treating customers, employees, and communities are no longer good enough. Companies that deliver happiness to all their stakeholders are the ones that will ultimately thrive." --Tony Hsieh, CEO, Zappos.com, Inc., and New York Times bestselling author of Delivering Happiness "Fascinating and insightful! Good Company persuasively makes the case that those employers that build cultures that value and develop their people will be more successful than their competitors. The authors go much deeper than the traditional HR focus on employee engagement, unveiling a compelling Good Company Index that grades Fortune 100 companies based on whether they're doing the right things for employees, customers, and the environment." --Sue Meisinger, CEO, Society for Human Resource Management (retired)

Synopsis
Companies shirk taxes while padding profits. Firms foul the planet but keep raking in revenue. Reckless greed on Wall Street goes largely unpunished. More evidence that bad guys finish first in business? No. A different story is unfolding. Laurie Bassi and her coauthors show that despite the dispiriting headlines, we are entering a more hopeful economic age. The authors call it the "Worthiness Era." And in it, the good guys are poised to win. Good Company explains how this new era results from a convergence of forces, ranging from the explosion of online information sharing to the emergence of the ethical consumer and the arrival of civic-minded Millennials. Across the globe, people are choosing the companies in their lives in the same way they choose the guests they invite into their homes. They are demanding that companies be "good company." Proof is in the numbers. The authors created the Good Company Index to take a systematic look at Fortune 100 companies' records as employers, sellers, and stewards of society and the planet. The results were clear: worthiness pays off. Companies in the same industry with higher scores on the index--that is, companies that have behaved better--outperformed their peers in the stock market. And this is not some academic exercise: the authors have used principles of the index at their own investment firm to deliver market-beating results. Using a host of real-world examples, Bassi and company explain each aspect of corporate worthiness and describe how you can assess other companies with which you do business as a consumer, investor, or employee. This detailed guide will help you determine who the good guys are--those companies that are worthy of your time, your loyalty, and your money., Companies shirk taxes while padding profits.

Good Company is a winner of several awards, including Choice Magazine's Outstanding Academic Title Award and a gold medal in the Business/Leadership category of the 2012 Nautilus Book Awards., In recent decades, corporate PR departments and business books like "Good to Great" promised a new era of value-based leadership, but as recent events have shown, actual corporate behavior still follows the old 'whatever you can get away with' standard. But Laurie Bassi and her co-authors have news: the 'bad boy' days are over. As a result of a convergence of forces, ranging from the explosion of online information-sharing to the emergence of the ethical consumer and arrival of civic-minded Millennials, we're in a new era, which they dub 'the Worthiness Era.' To succeed, businesses must now prove to consumers, employees, and investors that they have earned their respect - that they are good company. For the first time, Bassi, a noted economist, has the research to prove that good behavior is good business. The authors have compiled a groundbreaking 'Good Company Index' that directly ties business results to stakeholder relationships. Not only do the authors have the hard evidence to prove that good behavior pays, they have used the principles of the index at their own investment firm to delivery market-beating results. Finally, the authors provide senior executives with the principles and tools to adapt to the new road rules for business., Companies shirk taxes while padding profits.

- g***d (680)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem is as described shipped & arrived promptly. Tried to contact seller with feedback regarding the dust jacket & the damage sustained due to the way the book was packaged. Unfortunately the seller does not accept messages. The book was placed in a bag 1.5 times bigger than the book. As a result the book and dust jacket had a lot room to move in different directions. As a result, the dust jacket was pretty crushed. Aside from above, great seller, & good transaction.
- s***e (536)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseBook in good condition as described (the package was damaged in shipment and looks like someone cut it with a sharp blade. Only missing a piece off back corner and top corner of last 2 pages - not seller’s fault!) I am very pleased with my purchase - great price, smooth transaction, great communication and fast ship. Recommend this seller to all. Thank you!New Tales of the Vampires: includes Pandora- paperback, 9780345476869, Anne Rice (#305494250527)
