From Me to We. How Shared Value Can Turn Companies Into Engines of Change.
Ricardo Ernst (Author), Jerry Haar (Author)
Palgrave Macmillan; 1st ed. 2022 Edition

This book takes the concept of shared value to the next level, with the concept of “Me to We” (also abbreviated as “M2W”) and discusses the current state of the business-environment-government relationship and shows how the shared value model can contribute to each entity.

Chapters explore the emerging phenomenon of shared value, the shareholder-stakeholder comparisons, the role of government in the stakeholder environment, shared value as it related to competitiveness, and operational issues such as implementation, communication, and leadership in their relationship to shared value. ... more
