Review From BizEd, May-June 2004

According to the Magazine, published by AACSB (the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business):


"When so much news about business is bad, it's encouraging to turn to news that's good. In the wholly revised third edtion of Companies With a Conscience , Howard Rothman and Mary Scott profile twelve companies dedicated to improving the world in addtion to making a profit. Examples are diverse-including carpet maker Interface, employment agency America Works, and ice cream purveyors Ben & Jerry's. All of them show a commitment to caring for employees, the community and the environment. 'Do we feel companies with a conscience offer a socio-economic cure-all for these confusing and turbulent times? Certainly not,' the authors write. 'But do we believe they provide a viable alternative for an Enron-and World Com-weary world? Absolutely.'"
