Interview with Sandra A. Waddock on Intellectual shamans: Management academics making a difference, by Sandra A. Waddock
No full textIn traditional cultures, the shaman is the healer, the connector, and the spiritual leader or sensemaker. Today in the management academy, some individuals use their intellectual gifts to perform a similar role - mediating between various disciplines, ideas and theories, as well as making sense of ideas, insights, and research for others. This book, based on the work and lives of 28 very well-known management academics, describes what it means - and what it takes - to be an intellectual shaman. It provides insight into the career paths and the sometimes maverick behavior that has allowed these individuals to achieve success. Based on extensive interviews, Intellectual Shamans provides both a road map to junior scholars and a critique of the current system of academic career progression.Title supplied by cataloger
Interview with Sandra Waddock on SEE change: making the transition to a sustainable enterprise economy, by Sandra Waddock and Malcom McIntosh
No full textAn interview about a book that discusses the myriad problems that we face and the systemic changes that are necessary for all enterprises in whatever sector and however constituted to operate within sustainable limits, to lower their ecological footprint, to enhance social equity. The authors see the seeds of economic change in new and fundamentally different forms - in entrepreneurship, networks, governance, transparency and accountability - already being planted and beginning to grow. To nurture these developments, they believe that we need to learn to 'see' in new ways to begin to recognize their worth and to create a sufficiently broad, coherent and integrated social movement for change that can overcome the momentum of the current system. Deep change is needed in the purposing, goals and practice of business enterprises. This book documents some of the changes that are already in progress and proposes that a sustainable enterprise economy geared to innovation, creativity, problem-solving, entrepreneurialism and enthusiasm for life can produce wealth, preserve the natural environment and nurture social capital.Title supplied by cataloger

Guest Speaker Session - Transformation Not CSR, Sandra Waddock, Boston College
No full textSandra Waddoc
Voluntary or mandatory: that is (not) the question: linking corporate citizenship to human rights obligations for business
No full text"Menschenrechte werden gewöhnlich als exklusiver Verantwortungsbereich von Regierungen wahrgenommen. Mit fortschreitender ökonomischer Globalisierung erweist sich diese Auffassung allerdings zunehmend als unangemessen. Insbesondere in Bezug auf die mächtigen multinationalen Unternehmen führt sie zu einer eklatanten Verantwortungslücke. In diesem Beitrag argumentieren die Verfasser deshalb für verbindliche Menschenrechts-Standards für multinationale Unternehmen und untersuchen, welchen Beitrag auf Freiwilligkeit basierende Konzepte wie Corporate Citizenship und Corporate Social Responsibility zur Klärung von entsprechenden Pflichten von 'Multinationals' machen können - dies speziell in Bezug auf die oft kontingenten Verantwortlichkeiten bezüglich sog. positiven Menschenrechten." (Autorenreferat)"Human rights have traditionally been considered a domain of governments. The ongoing economic globalization, however, has rendered this state-centered view increasingly inadequate. In this contribution the author's will argue that also the powerful transnational corporations must bear more and more direct responsibility for the impact of their actions on human rights. Florian Wettstein and Sandra Waddock will first clarify the conceptual connection between existing approaches to corporate citizenship (CC) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the newly emerging 'business and human rights' debate. Partly in contradiction to the 'traditional' view on CSR/ CC as a voluntary affair for business, the author's will then plea for mandatory human rights standards for corporations. However, human rights obligations are not always clear-cut and evident; especially so-called positive rights often create contingent and often highly ambiguous duties for many different actors. Therefore, the author's will argue CSR/ CC can make a valuable contribution especially regarding the clarification of such imperfect obligations. Accordingly, the relation between voluntary and mandatory approaches must not be seen as a mutually exclusive one, but rather as inherently complementary." (author's abstract
Oral Histories of the Business and Society/SIM Field and the SIM Division of the Academy of Management: Origin Stories From the Founders
No full textThis issue of Business & Society contains the transcripts of 12 oral history interviews with founders of and early contributors to the business and society/social issues in management (SIM) field. The publication of these interviews is the culmination of a very long-term project, with the first interview having been conducted in 1993 with Lee Preston and the most recent interview having been conducted in 2011 with Jim Post. This project has been very much of a team effort with Sandra Waddock, John Steiner, Mary Mallott, Ariane Berthoin Antal, and, of course, our interviewees all playing important roles.</jats:p

Transformation (T-) systems are innovative collections of initiatives and efforts geared to bringing about a flourishing socio-ecological system in a given context. They comprise of the totality of initiatives, people and organizations who are collectively seeking to transform a particular issue or geography in a common direction, when they attempt to align their efforts for greater effectiveness, as a result of that growing identity and self-awareness. This article explores the concept of transformation (T-) systems, and how they can become impactful organizing frames for change agents. Another innovative type of entity, the Transformation Catalyst (TC), works to connect, cohere, and amplify the work of actors and initiatives, who generally work independently, into coherent T-systems. We use evolving work in the sustainable seafood arena to illustrate these ideas.
