Are we in the midst of a new paradigm shift for business? Do stakeholders other than shareholders have a greater voice today in the decisions a firm makes? There is a growing realization that the business community needs to think and act with new perspectives about the “bottom line”. In this session Dean Jack Morris will discuss stakeholder value maximization and the triple bottom line approach to managing in an ever constrained resource environment. His presentation will set the stage for a series of presentations that examine sustainability issues and provide practical tools for creating a more sustainable enterprise.
