- baggy_trough 3y agoIt’s a good idea to read about it so one can learn what a bad idea it is.
- pclmulqdq 3y agoI don't know why anyone likes his books. They tend to be very light on facts and evidence, and heavy on inflating his own ego. Maybe read it if you want to understand the current zeitgeist in the world of managers, but I wouldn't look for wisdom in them.
- MichaEiler 3y agoRealizing that a business has more responsibilities than just satisfying the shareholders is incredibly important. I honestly just listed it as an example, there might be better books. I only had brief look at this particular one, since I got the impression that most of it's content is common sense here in Europe...
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoI’ve read lots about stakeholder capitalism. It’s a bunch of nonsense. If management is beholden to a bunch of competing groups, then in any given situation they can do whatever they want and justify it by saying “well yeah the shareholders (or whoever) don’t like it, but this is what we need to do for the sake of the employees (or whoever).” I’d rather have the shareholders in charge than unaccountable management doing whatever they feel like.
