More Description Fifty-one of the world's top 100 economies are now corporations. More than 40 percent of world trade now takes place within multinational corporations. We now know that the world is flat, but what does that mean for the future of business and society? Bruce Piasecki, one of the top energy and environmental consultants to companies such as Toyota, BP, Chevron, DuPont and Dow Chemical, just to name a few, provides a groundbreaking new work showing that social response by firms will be the new benchmark by which corporations will be judged and can drive profits. As power moves into the hands of corporations, the world is looking to corporations instead of governments to solve its problems. The corporations that can best address social issues by creating superior products will thrive and profit in this new world.
