Summary

"Transformative Cooperation (TC) presents new ways for individuals and organizations to partner in creating a more sustainable future and taking people to a higher stage of moral development. Handbook of Transformative Cooperation invites readers to consider how businesses can work with organizations in other sectors of society; including governments and nonprofits, to address global concerns and improve the lives of all. It documents the need for, and early examples of, cooperative efforts that have transformed the relationships between corporations and the communities in which their employees live and work." "Throughout this handbook, the editors present some of the best designs in transformative cooperation and conclude by explaining transformative cooperation as a generative possibility. Overall, the editors and contributors argue that TC is about the search for the best in people, their organizations, and the world around them."--BOOK JACKET.
