Book Description

This 20th very special issue counts 112 pages, with a guest Editorial by John North, Director of the GRLI (Global Responsible Leadership Initiative), 19 articles from 37 faculty and practitioner contributors in two sections: Business, Society, Planet and Management & Leadership. GV20 also sees the return of our successful double-page feature cartoon with a wry comment on a business and society issue, and an end-of-year CoBS history timeline. This issue gathers perhaps the largest and most varied number of contributors ever featured in Global Voice magazine. In addition to the CoBS member schools covering 4 continents, we’re delighted to highlight two very special guest institutions – Schulich School of Business, York University, Canada, and University of Stellenbosch Business School, South Africa. We also welcome CSR-spokespersons Prof. Andrew Crane of CBOS University of Bath and Dirk Matten, Schulich School of Business, Director of Strategy and author Emilie Prattico of BCG BrightHouse and a spotlight on the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative by Director John North. And last but not least, we reach across to the other side of the planet and Australia, with the kind permission of Monash Business School, University of Monash to feature one of their thought leadership insights in this magazine. Covering current hot topics and lasting major issues – the climate crisis, women at work, leadership in the 21st century, the future of CSR, inclusivity and disability employment, social impact, philanthropy, conscious business, and mentorship among others – Global Voice magazine offers you the unique international and multicultural expertise of the Council on Business & Society faculty and guests. On behalf of the CoBS member schools – ESSEC Business School, FGV-EAESP, School of Management Fudan University, IE Business School, Keio Business School, Trinity Business School, College Dublin, and Warwick Business School – we warmly wish you, our readers, a very happy, safe and peaceful festive period and hope you enjoy this Christmas and New Year Global Voice magazine.
